![]() ![]() And for DVDs, although MakeMKV includes details of the Forced flag in the VOBSUB extract, it doesn't - unlike for BluRays - break just the subset of Forced subtitles out into a separate stream. As far as I can tell, the Dune doesn't know about Forced subtitles - so displays everything (Angels & Demons or Da Vinci code good examples). For these all speech is subtitled, inc spoken English - but flags in the VOBSUB indicate to compatible players which subtitles are forced & hence should be displayed. (B) DVDs where the foreign language subtitles are listed as Forced subtitles within a VOBSUB which otherwise contains subtitles for the whole movie are trickier. (1) use MakeMKV to create MKV with all English VOBSUB streams (2) use VLC (or equivalent) to identify correct VOBSUB (3) use MKVExtractGUI-2 (part of MKVtoolnix family) to extract the right VOBSUB as a pair of SUB/IDX files into folder alongside MKV (4) tidy-up SUB/IDX filenames as needed to be same as MKV (5) confirm works on Dune. (A) For DVDs which have a separate VOBSUB subtitle file for just the foreign language subtitles it's easy. With this set-up, if you get the right subtitles held in SUB/IDX or SUP format alongside the MKV file then they magically appear automatically at the right point when playing a movie without needing selecting. ![]() I only care about English subtitles covering non-English speech in movies - e.g French/etc in Bourne films, alien language in District 9, etc. For DVDs this means a pair of SUB/IDX files for BluRay a SUP file. ![]() I have the Dune set (via Subtitle option) to default to External subtitles - i.e ones with the same name held outside the MKV wrap. Thought I'd share how I've gone about getting subtitles from my MakeMKV MKVs working on my Dune - & also see if anyone has a better method. ![]()
