Re: Forced subtitles

I've re-ripped about 10 discs so far and came across one that has a forced sub track. All the other discs that have forced subs have them "embedded" in the mkv. Meaning there is no forced sub track, and the forced subs appear in VLC without enabling any of the subtitle tracks. For discs wi...

Re: VLC Alternative

Thanks for the information. Thats what I thought, you need to actually take a picture of your display. I doubt I'm going to do all that but if I do, how do you get the same exact frame from a different player? For example, do you just go by the current time in the movie? This is subjective, but what...

Re: VLC Alternative

After you have to selected madVR as the video renderer, do you just use the defalut settings?

I want to compare the picture quality with VLC, how do you actually do this? I understand that a screenshot takes the digital image being sent to your display, not what your display actually looks like.

Re: Forced subtitles

Hey, I was out of town for a bit, but still moving forward with my 4k collection. So far, I've re-ripped (5) discs with all the English subtitles selected. I'm finding more discs having duplicate sub tracks like 2012. Example, track 1 is the same as track 3 and track 2 is the same as track 4. I have...

Re: MKV Files and HDR

When I had a display that did not support HDR, I could not enable HDR in Windows. Now, that I have a display that supports HDR, I can enable HDR in Windows.

Okay, I will try MPC-HC with madVR.

Thank you,

Re: VLC Alternative

Okay, thanks for the MPC-HC recommendation.

Can any VLC users comment on 4k mkv's appearing too dark? Is adjusting the brightness in VLC (provided screenshot) the best way to help with this apparent issue?

Re: Forced subtitles

Okay, thank you. I think I'm 97% there. Please confirm, for the main sub track that I want. (again, I will only have (1) main sub track for each mkv and don't want them to appear in VLC by default. I want to have to turn them on in VLC for them to appear) default track flag YES/NO track enabled flag...

Re: Forced subtitles

I managed to download an outdated version of mkvtoolnix from another website. It's really ridiculous that I can't even download the current version from the actual website. Moving on, I opened mkvtoolnix and see the (4) sub tracks in the mkv which I highlighted in the screenshot below. I managed to ...

Re: Forced subtitles

I can't even download mkvtoolnix. I tried to but ended up installing PC app store on my PC. Every time I try to download mkvtoolnix, it wants to download the damn PC app store instead, nonsense. Please post a direct link.

Re: Forced subtitles

Okay so with mkvtoolnix, I create a new mkv and if it's the way I want it, I can delete the old one, correct?

Can you post some screen shots on what to do in mkvtoolnix for this particular title? I don't know how to use mkvtoolnix whatsoever.

VLC Alternative

Hello, As the title states, I'm considering using another player for my mkv files. All my mkv files appear too dark in VLC and this seems to be a known issue. Anyone on here experiencing this also with mkv files from 4k blu rays? If so, is adjusting the brightness shown in the screenshot below the b...

Re: Forced subtitles

I thought you were trying to say you didn't want to help me anymore. First, I only want to use one program for the subtitles. I don't understand what you mean by mkvtoolnix saves it separately. After I rip the disc with all the sub options selected, I want to find out which subs I want, remove the o...

Re: Forced subtitles

The HDR is a very well known issue. Apparently, it's been an issue for years. That aside.. There are (5) possible choices with the sub tracks for this mkv, 2012 UHD. This is shown in the previous screen shot I posted. (Disabled, track #1, track #2, track #3 and track #4.) The forced subs appear with...
