PGSsubtitles consist of a series of bitmapped images and aren't actually 'text' at all. PGS subtitles on a blu-ray are 1920x1080px resolution images, for instance, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. When making the blu-ray, black letterboxing is added to the video so that it ends up as a 16:9 ratio 1920x1080px video when rendered. When content is ripped from a blu-ray, the letterboxing is typically removed so that only the video itself remains, but if you ripped Blu-ray to lossless MKV, the PGS subtitle will be preserved.

1. Just like when you extract subtitles from DVD, converting PGS to SRT, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a necessary process. Simply put, you need a third-party tool to identify the subtitles on the image and then transcribe it to text-based SRT subtitle files.
2. Text subtitle such as SRT, SSA, is saved as text in the video, when playing the video file, you can change text font, size and color easily. However, your system need more space to store font files, and need more CPU power to render text into image on the screen. SRT is the most commonly used text subtitle format. It is very simple and easy to use.

But the thing is that even you kept Blu-ray PGS subtitle in MKV container, you might also lose subtitles when playing this MKV file in VLC, WD TV Live box, etc since many media players couldn't support PGS subtitles. In most cases, you need to rip MKV PGS subtitle to SRT subtitle on the fly. SRT subtitles are text files and don't suffer from the same sort of issue.
