Default selection for Closed Caption subtitle tracks

Post by blaze53 » Wed Dec 24, 2025 10:29 pm

Is it possible to set a criteria so that MakeMKV will only select a track labeled "CC -> Text English ( Lossy Conversion )" if it is the only subtitle track on the disc?

Say for example there's two subtitle tracks, "English" and "CC -> Text English." I'd like MakeMKV to select "English" and deselect "CC -> Text English." But if ONLY "CC -> Text English" is present, like it is on some older DVDs, I'd like it selected.

Also, is it possible to select only the first instance of a defined track? Say if there's multiple DD 5.1 Surround English tracks or multiple English subtitles and I just want the first one.
