Tried the latest batch...

No luck.

Tried my Avatar file again....... and it did NOT WORK EITHER.
Was wondering, what the hell, and I have two copies of Avatar, one with SRT and one with PGS.

I must have tested the SRT ones in my haste :(

So based on this new revelation, and to stop wasting ...

So how do I find out how the other 1 was encoded?

It doesnt have anything to do with zlib or wahetver because both are zlib.

OK. Well, I've run out of software to generate MKV files with PGS subtitles.

I'm not sure how that Avatar MKV of yours was authored to play on your ASUS device, but one thing's for sure: its support for PGS in MKV is very limited and/or hardly working at all.

Ok, so how do I find out?

In page 1 ...

All 4 are not detected by default on o!Play (ie: they aren't "forced", and by "forced" i don't mean burned in). I have to enable each one (cycle through them) in each mkv, but none actually show any text.

So. None work.

OK. FWIW, MakeMKV was not involved in the creation of any of those samples ...

Here are some PGS subtitle samples:

Played the "folder" on Asus Oplay with the entire structure, movie starts, and I can select all subtitles of many languages / audio streams, and they display fine...
What do you mean by "the folder"? So you have the BD ripped to disc and when playing back the m2ts in it, the Oplay displays the sub ...

What does Mediainfo report on the subs? "Muxing mode : zlib" is needed to make PGS subs play back on the WDTV Live.

Here you go.....

I dunno what any of this means...

Sounds like the ASUS O!Play doesn't support PGS subtitles in MKV.

Ummm I said: "Went and loaded the Avatar. MKV which I already had (which has PGS subs, both fully English, and for English for NAVI spoken parts only) both subs work. "

Hmm, that's odd. Any idea how that file was created?

nope ...

No.

Still broken.

zero padded means ...

There's one last thing you can try:

1) extract the PGS ...

MakeMKV Version = 1.7.5
Movie = Matrix Revolutions
Subtitle Type - According to MKVToolNix 5.6 = HDMV/PGS

I tried 3 different variations to extract.

#1 - Selected the subtitle in MakeMKV > this creates the subtitle in the .mkv file
#2 - DeSelected the subtitle in MakeMKV, but selected the FORCED ...
