For discs with a forced sub track, is there any way to "embed" the forced sub track in the mkv like the others? Yes, but with HandBrake, for example. And I don't know if it would be worth it for you because HandBrake compresses files. As I mentioned, some discs have the main subs with and...

Instead, to find out which are the forced subs, I'll tell you how I do it. Let's say the .mkv file contains 3 subs. I usually use VLC, I check them by activating them one at a time. If the sub is the main one, I notice it right away because the subtitles appear on the video for each actor's speech....

I find sitting through the forced previews, the interpol & FBI warning, and dealing with silly disc menu systems to be more than enough reason to not ever watch from physical media. I buy plenty of physical media, but I rip it and watch via Plex across the network. Well, everyone has a differen...

I don't understand what the problem could be. I've been a Linux user for 16 years, and in that time I've connected both internal and external burners, and they've always been recognized. It would seem strange to me that a burner wouldn't work with Linux. Unless you're using a stone-age kernel, there...

... but can a Fire Stick or something similar read decrypted Blu-ray folders on HDD? Or ISO files? I don't think so. No*? It can if you put Kodi on it and use your network. I hope you're not cavemaning it with USB. If so, you should change that first. Yes, I only use USB. I don't need a network, ex...

You're older devices probably stutter/crash because they don't have a hardware H.265 decoder. No, that's not the problem, the MKVs are all h.264. It could be the USB problem instead, both devices have a 2.0 port, I think that with a USB 3.0 or higher perhaps the lag would decrease or stop altogethe...

Hi, thanks for replying. You recommended using two devices, but I'd like just one. I have an older Android box, the Beelink MiniMXIII-II, which I use for streaming, and an Asus O!Play Mini as my media player. Both still work fine, but I'm having trouble playing Blu-rays (standard, not UHD) in 1:1 MK...

Hi everyone.

I'd like to purchase the Dune HD Homatics Box R 4K Plus to watch my Blu-rays and DVDs ripped with MakeMKV (mkv, iso, and folders) and also for video streaming (Amazon Prime Video, YouTube). Does anyone have one? Does it work well? Thanks.

Most Blu-rays have a separate track for the forced subtitles and don't use the forced flags. But some have both, a separate track and the forced flags in the full subtitle track, which results in two (nearly) identical subtitle tracks in the output file. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, ...

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 YES/NO forced display flag YES/NO defa...

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? Yes. 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. There is no need, as you have seen it is quite intu...

I didn't say I didn't want to help you anymore, but that I don't know what to do beyond what I told you. I answered you because I realized that something I had told you was not clear, and so I explained it again in more detail. I also add that I don't speak English and I rely on Google Translate to ...

Yeah, I don't understand most of your message so I will just forget about the subtitles. Thanks anyway Hi, I'm sorry you didn't understand everything, I'll try to explain myself better. SubTitle Edit is a multiplatform program, it's free (open source), it's a subtitle editor, but it also converts t...

My example was by exclusion, once you knew which were the main subs and those of the comments, the last sub had to be those of the forced ones. Anyway, at this point I suggest you do a subsequent check of the subs: install SubTitle Edit, and also (possibly) an OCR software. Load the .mkv file, and c...

Okay, I finally ripped 2012 with all English subs selected. I took a screenshot of makeMKV when it finished. I thought I was supposed to look for something about flags but don't see anything of importance. When I go to play the mkv in vlc, there are (4) subtitle tracks that I can turn on/off. They ...
