Simply uncheck the first two subtitle and forced tracks and then click the makemkv button and voila you will now have the movie with the force subtitles. Not necessarily cause not all forced subs are flagged as forced, as explained here . Playback is also much less of a hassle if you simply use VLC.

Check out this thread for why it's so hard.

No need to fiddle with command-lines when you can use Handbrake & Co. Also, VobSubs on DVDs are usually < 10 MB so it wouldn't make much of a difference keeping them.

Subs are usually small and turned off so why not keep them?

Sure about that? Mike may have anticipated this, similar to empty forced tracks being discarded.

Shouldn't make any difference if you check the "regular" third track or the forced only checkbox.

I wouldn't mind selecting ALL favlang subtitles all the time if VLC or XBMC would respect the "Default" flag on non-forced subtitles Contrary to XBMC, VLC does. When the forced flag is not set and the default flag is set to no, VLC will not display the subtitle. Unfortunately XBMC (Win) a...

Use BDInfo to select playlists for longer titles. Check the corresponding m2ts to see if it's the regular or chronological order and rip accordingly. Apparently the chronological order is present on the disc? I'm asking cause I haven't found any chronological on the Sin City BD, only on the DVD.

Which explains why MakeMKV only sets the default flag to yes. Of course I have no idea why

ignoreForcedSubtitlesFlag="true"

should be set to true by default.

How about asking the creator of MKVToolnix?

As I wrote, MakeMKV sets the default flag to yes on forced subs.

Is my only recourse to use a third party program that is not officially for the mac? "Jonathan Buschmann provides a universal (32/64bits) package for Leopard/Snow Leopard for MKVToolNix. You can download the latest version (5.7.0 build 2012-07-11-cd22) directly from my site." Sounds offic...

Alternatively check the BD with BDinfo and test one of the m2ts referenced in the most likely playlist with VLC.

With forced subs MakeMKV already sets the default flag to yes. I'm sure Mike will find the time to also set the forced flag to yes as well as add an option to set the flags via the properties pulldown menu if enough people request it.

Luckily MakeMKV sets regular subs to off by default. Open the mkv in MKVmerge's header editor and set the default flag to yes (which can still be ignored by your player).
