Re: Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced O

Dear Woodstock, Here comes the good news. I asked Brorsoft to set up a download of the obsolete VC version I was using on my Win 7 PC, 4.8.6.6, so I could test it in my new environment. What do you know? It works just fine on my new PC with Win 10. So it seems clear the problem I've been having bega...

Re: Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced O

Dear Chetwood, After reading your last post my first instinct was to retort with something(s) equally hostile, like getting a life beyond reading other people's mail and making unsolicited comments. But it so happens, after some research into HandBrake showed it actually was at the top of the VC hea...

Re: Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced O

Dear Chetwood, whoever you are, Q: Why waste time with Brorsoft Video Converter? Ans: Because I chose to use Brorsoft, I like it, and it has always worked for me up until now. I worked as a software engineer for 35 years and we NEVER told a customer, "We can't fix your problem. Try using a diff...

Re: Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced O

Ok, I tried your tactic. I did MakeMKV without checking or unchecking any subtitle track. Then I played the output with VLC and can turn on any of the subtitle tracks just as you say. Works fine so far. Continuing with your tactic, I decide I want the first track, English. So I edit the .MKV header ...

Re: Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced O

My main concern is to run Brorsoft Video Converter on the .MKV file. I don't really care about Windows Media Player or VLC playing the .MKV which to me is just an intermediate step towards an MP4. I stress again that I have done 100s of conversions on my Windows 7 PC going from BD to .MKV to MP4. I ...

Subtitles are not in .MKV although I unchecked "Forced Only"

I'm working on a Windows 10 desktop with MakeMKV 1.10.7. I select the correct playlist for a BD video (Baby Driver for example) then uncheck "Forced Only" for both (2) English subtitle tracks so I'll get full subtitles. I run the MakeMKV conversion but subtitles do not appear when playing ...
