I need to extract closed caption information from movie files, I have tried ccextractor but it does not seem to work.
I have captured a video stream (with closed caption in it) and saved to a file and then I run ccextractor... but it can't find anything!
My video samples are below:

First try:
cvlc -I dummy v4l2:///dev/video1:width=720:height=480:norm=ntsc:standard=ntsc:pixelformat=2:aspect-ratio=4\:3:channel=0 --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp2v}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=gsd.mpg}"

The hardcoded subtitles, refer to the subtitles that have been burnt or embedded into the video image, which will appear on the video from beginning to end and cannot be manually turned on or off. The only method of extracting hardcoded subtitles is resort to optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
Extract your subtitle file: Subtitle files will download in ZIP folders, but you can remove the subtitle file itself by doing the following: Windows — Double-click the ZIP folder, click Extract at the top of the window, click Extract all, and click Extract at the bottom of the window that appears.
Some movies don't have a hidden file containing the captions, but the subtitles are hardcoded into the video, meaning they are actually part of the video and cannot be distinguished.
You can try to google for a standalone version of subtitles for a movie.
