I was wondering if anyone had advice on what to do when ripping DVDs with forced subtitles.
I know that with Blu-ray, you need menu support (which Media Center lacks) for films which have a single English language track, and only plays the forced subtitles from them, rather than having a separate track for the non-English parts.
I have just encountered this with a DVD that I'm trying to rip, and wondered if there was a good solution for it?
I normally rip my DVDs with MakeMKV, but there's only a single subtitle track on this one.
If I rip with this subtitle track and enable it, I get subtitles for all the English dialog, as well as the non-English dialog.
Are there any tools to deal with this?
If I use Red October Standard to access the DVD menus and play the film that way, the subtitles behave as you would expect. No subtitles for the English dialog, but there are subtitles for the non-English dialog. Curiously, Media Center says that subtitles are not enabled when it's doing this.
This is not ideal, because I'd rather only store the film and not all the extras, as that makes things much simpler for sharing around my network. I am also unable to play DVD menus via Red October HQ - the player immediately crashes.
