Extract subtitles with ffmpeg

ffmpeg -i Movie.mkv -map 0:s:0 subs.srt

Extract subtitles from the mkv file. This one extracts the 0th subtitle track. To extract the first, use -map 0:s:1

ffmpeg -ss 10 -t 10 Movie.mkv audio.mp3

Another curious thing is [ffmpeg's treatment of arguments](ffmpeg relative). All arguments that come before a file are applied to that file only. The remainder of the command is relative to those inital args. This means seeking forward 10s then cutting 10s will actually cut out the 10-20s interval
