I'm still not sure I get it. "Extract" subtitles, when they are NOT 
there? Can it be, by any chance, that you are talking about speech 
recognition? I.e., you want a software which understands the spoken word 
in the movie sound and turns that into text, which can be shown as 
subtitles? Like the "auto-generated" subtitles which youtube offers for 
some videos.

If so, it is a complex task and will not work overly well. I defer to 
the experts if there are any usable speech recognitino engines for this 
task.
