Subtitles - there one season, gone the next
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2023 3:30 am
I have the full DVD set for the series Grimm and have used MakeMKV to rip them to .mkv files, then used Handbrake to convert them to .mp4 files. This was a while back, so I'm not sure if I could have changed settings or upgraded versions of either MakeMKV or Handbrake.
These discs are Region one, so English is the default language. There are scenes in other languages with subtitles. In seasons 1 & 2, subtitles were there and readable. (Actually I'm not sure if they were burned in or what.) But in Season 3, there are no subtitles in these scenes.
I'm betting this is something I did with the settings, since I have dealt with English video and some foreign language films, but the foreign language films were always entirely in another language (in other words, not in English). In other words, I really don't know what is going on with the subtitles and what settings I probably changed. (I also upgraded computers along the way and it's quite possible I ripped seasons 1 & 2 on one computer, so the remaining seasons may have been ripped on a new computer with a new setup.)
Can someone point me in what direction I should be looking so I can figure out where I went wrong with this and why Season 3 doesn't have subtitles for foreign language scenes?
