Best way to find out what forced subtitles to use

#1 Post by Blyth » Wed Oct 23, 2024 8:54 am

I have a few blurays that I watch in their foreign language and have it in English subtitles, these disc have a quite a few english tracks so I was wondering what's the best way to determine what track I need, so far I rip all subtitles and use VLC to go through the tracks and then use Mkvtoolnix to remove the tracks I don't want. Is this the best way to do it?

If the tracks are in the same language, there isn't much hope for a "simple way" to determine which is "right" for all needs. There will be two subtitle tracks (generally), "everything", and "only important stuff". Who determines what is important?

Sounds like my way is probably the easy method then. Thanks
