11/7/2022 0 Comments Dvdfab 9 subtitles![]() ![]() I've been using handbrake to compress files and re-arrange the subtitles so that the first track is always the forced track, which works for some players, but Vimu and others "must" have a track with the "forced" flag set to display subtitles by default, so I'm manually editing tracks to set both the default and forced files on the chosen track, to cover all the basis. There is a profile setting to make the first subtitle track "forced", but that is wrong more often than it is right in my experience. MakeMKV does not compare contents of subtitle tracks, so it doesn't know which track should be marked as "forced". Players ignore the "default" flag, relying upon the "forced" flag on the track - not on individual subtitles. I've discovered recently that the "forced subtitle" issue can usually be "fixed" by editing the MKV file header. I would really like to use MakeMKV and MKVToolNIX as the only tools I would ever need to use.įYI: I also have 4 UK Blu-ray movies that use the same "forced" subtitles technique (but MakeMKV can handle those I believe?). There was mention years ago it will do this in future, why was it not implemented? It's no good saying these are in a minority unless you can quickly determine if they are present in the first place or process as you rip - imagine ripping 5000+ DVD discs. It would be nice if MakeMKV offered this just like it does for Blu-ray/4K (and delete if no actual "forced" parts). You could always watch them all first but you still have the problem of just ripping the "forced" parts. #Dvdfab 9 subtitles seriesThe point is since you don't know if it contains these type of "forced" subtitles you will have to apply some process to every DVD (imagine the number of episodes for a 8 series TV series like Game of Thrones). I see someone mentioned a Handbrake technique to extract just the "forced" parts that seems to work, then re-mux using MKVToolNIX - but that's a long process as well. Simply making the subtitle stream "forced" (header editor) just gives you all the substitles, not just the "forced" parts. Using MakeMKV to rip, you select the first subtitle (containing the in stream "forced"), create the MKV file, load into MKVToolNIX you can see the stream - but again there is no way (that I can find) to re-mux simply the "forced" parts - it's all or nothing. MakeMKV cannot separate JUST the "forced" subtitles for these type of DVDs (but it can for for Blu-ray/4K) - it's a binary on/off selection for any of the subtitles in the DVD with no ability to just select "forced only". mkv file, and MKVToolNIX to put it all together. #Dvdfab 9 subtitles manualI then use the OCR to get subtitle files (which may need some manual intervention), then use MakeMKV to generate. #Dvdfab 9 subtitles moviethe movie or episodes) with DVDFab and then use DVDSubEdit to see if any "forced" subtiles (because it needs VOB file direct). To determine if "forced" are present in the first subtitle stream of the DVD I currently rip just the main title (i.e. In this scenario nothing in the players indicate it's playing "forced" subtitles (they do for a seperate "forced" substream). None of these DVDs have a separate subtitle just for English "forced". they are turned on/off at the required time in the stream. All DVD/Blu-ray/4K players (hard and soft) that I have play the (physical) DVDs OK by default they only display the "forced" subtitle, NOT the whole of the (English) stream i.e. I have 38 UK DVD movies (and other TV series DVDs which cause a much larger problem) that have "forced" subtitles within the normal first English subtitle. ![]()
