Re: Default selection rule for audio+subtitles

Oops, I keep English and German subs only so and apparently I've adjusted my command badly above. If you wand to keep only all English subs, this should do it: -sel:all,+sel:(eng),-sel:(core),-10:(eng),-20:(forced(eng) The "lighter" tracks rise to the top, that means the English forced (IF...

Re: Default selection rule for audio+subtitles

Should look something like this: -sel:all,+sel:(eng),-sel:(core),-10:(eng),-20:(forced*(eng).

Re: Subtitles for foreign language only?

Sounds like too much work to implement for Mike when he won't even implement some kind of parse function like BDtoAVCHD's 'Scan bitrate'. After parsing is done, it shows each track's size so you can pinpoint the forced tracks easily without having to extract them first. If it detects items flagged a...

Re: Another dumb question

It's been quite a while but IIRC DVD Shrink also strips region coding. You could give it a go.

If all else fails you could remove those with mkvpropedit.

Re: A good method to get proper subtitles and force them

I ask this as sometimes these subs are not on their own "stream/track" but a subset that has to be fished out as it were. Usually these subsets are items which are forced which is exactly what MakeMKV will recognize and extract as a single track of only forced subs. The problem is with se...

Re: Game of Thrones folgen fehler

Have you set minimum title length to something like 40 minutes under Preferences > Video? That should get rid of most of the fluff. You might still end up with some specials so better check the runtime and tracks before starting the ripping process.

Re: Questions on Forced Subtitles

However, when it does detect that there are forced subtitles, why didn't it mark that track as forced automatically? Why did I have to go into MKVToolNix No idea but for many players it's aparrently enough to set it to default which MakeMKV does by setting setFirstForcedSubtitleTrackAsDefault="...

Re: Way to see which subtitle track is "forced" before remuxing

There's not even any way to view their size (looking for empty subtitles). As mentioned before, opening the disc in BDtoAVCHD > scan bitrates detects forced subtitles by size which works rather well. That's much quicker than watching the movie and trying to scan through searching for foreign langua...

Re: Request: Show subtitle count in MakeMKV UI next to subtitle tracks

And how do you suppose would MakeMKV know if there's forced items in the last 10 minutes of a movie without actually parsing the entire file upfront?

Re: Subtitle problem on specific DVD

You need to decrypt first e.g. by ripping the complete disc to HDD with MakeMKV (or An*DVD). Then select demux on ALL German and English tracks in TSMuxer and upload the zipped file somewhere.

Re: Subtitle problem on specific DVD

You could demux both subtile tracks with tsmuxer (from the decyrpted disc) and upload it somewhere so we can take a look.

Re: Changing Default Subtitle

Yeah, well the forced selection rule I posted from memory does this without the GUI. If subtitles really start with a weight of 90, -11 would achive the same result. I'm glad you got it working though.
