Forced subtitles

#1 Post by Simon514 » Mon Oct 07, 2024 10:08 pm

Hello friends!

I have a really stupid question here but here it is... Is it possible to get rid of forced subtitles?

I just bought and rip a DVD that I thought was in French (it is) but since it's from the USA the audio is indeed in French but with big yellow subtitles that seems to be forced as it says none when I click subtiles...

I tried the rip I did on Plex and I tried the DVD in my Blu-Ray player and both says no subtitles available hence why I think it is forced...

Being French speaking those subtitles bothers me to no end...

Any way I can get rid of them?

Thanks!

IF the player shows no selectable subtitle tracks, they may be 'burned in', in which case they are a permanent part of the video track.

MKVToolNix is a handy tool for adding/removing selectable tracks from an mkv container.
