NO SUBS in Quicktime and Handbrake using MakeMKV 1.6.4

I tested converting bluray .iso files to .mkv (including video, audio, subs) with MakeMKV 1.6.4 and noticed this issue:

Converted mkv files seem to have NO subs in
-> latest Quicktime Player (no option to select any subs)
-> Handbrake's Subtile tab (no option to select any subs)

MakeMKV's Beta version 1.6.3 worked perfect so far. I didn't changed anything on my iMac just installed 1.6.4....

FYI: I'm working with an iMac and OS 10.6.6.

Funny thing is:

1. Quicktime doesn't support .mkv (not natively)
2. Handbrake don't support Bluray Subs

VLC runs subs fine with 1.6.4 mkv BluRay rips

Post MediaIfo of file...

Oh - you're right. I tested the same mkv file with vlc and whoop there it is... subs!

Any idea how to geht bluray subs or converted mkv file with subs working with handbrake? (Sorry for OT)

Handbrake does not support PGS subtitles yet. About 6 months ago a developer started working on it but never finished it. This is what i do for movies that i need subtitles for:

1. Use MakeMKV to rip to MKV with subtitles in PGS format
2. Use mkvextract (command line) to extract PGS subtitle
3. Use BDSup2Sub to convert PGS to VOBSUB
4. Use mkvtoolnix to merge original mkv and VOBSUB file
5. Load new mkv into Handbrake. You now can select the VOBSUB under subtitles in Handbrake.
