If all else fails you could remove those with mkvpropedit.

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...

What picture?

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.

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="...

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...

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?

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.

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

I fixed the errror, I used different software

Good. Now also use another forum and good riddance.

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.

Which title should be set to default as I don't want either Japanese or English subtitles to appear (other than English Forced)? - Enable Expert Mode under Preferences > General - set Advanced > Default Selection rule to: -sel:all,+sel:(eng|nolang),-sel:(core),-10:(forced*(eng)) which should tick a...

Is there another option? I personally use SubExtractor which works best in such cases. Rename all files to a scheme like this: my.tv.series.s01e01.sup my.tv.series.s01e02.sup my.tv.series.s01e03.sup etc. then go to file > open file > browse, select ALL episodes and click on 'next step'. The tool wi...

Blu-rays come with PGS/SUP subtitles which are bitmap based. If your LG does not support those you need to OCR to srt with Subtitle Edit. With the file name similar to the mkv, your LG should play it. If it does you can mux the SRT into it with MKVToolnix.

Searching for 'forced' instead of 'subtitle' should turn up this.
