Using tools like mkvpropedit means you can rip the file once, with all the subtitles and then name the subtitle tracks as necessary once you figure out which track is which. In order to do this, you'll have to view at least a couple minutes of the ripped file to be able to puzzle out which track is what. Unfortunately, there are no standard setups you can rely to figure it out from the structure of the disc. Since things like subtitle tracks of pretty small, this strategy won't cost much in terms of space even though you're likely to end up with an extra subtitle track or two.
If you want to end up with .mkv files without any extra stuff, you still have the same problem. You have to puzzle out which subtitle track is which and which audio track(s) are worth keeping. I, for instance, don't keep the descriptive audio tracks that many movies have. The best way I've found to do this is to first create a backup of a disc with MakeMKV. This takes a while since it is reading from the optical disc. Next, I open the backup in MakeMKV and rip the movie. This takes only a minute or two since I'm reading from and writing the output to a fast SSD. Then, I can check the resulting .mkv file to discover the details of the subtitles and audio tracks. I then adjust MakeMKV as necessary and the make the final rip, which again only takes a couple of minutes. Once I'm satisfied, I keep my 'final' rip and discard the rest.
MKVToolNix includes tools that'll let up remove a track from your .mkv file, but it involves remuxing the file, which means it takes just as long as running MakeMKV from a backup again (a couple minutes). Renaming existing tracks, however, only takes a second or two.
As a side note, the make a backup and create .mkv files from the backup strategy also makes it easy to rip the various 'extras' on many blu-rays and
include them in Plex.
Forced subtitles is a term used to describe subtitles that should play even when subtitles are not turned on. Almost always this is when a character is speaking in another language but it is important for the viewer to understand what they're saying. For instance, in the beginning of
The Hunt for Red October (1990) they speak Russian on the Red October. When you watch it in English without subtitles turned on, during these parts there are English subtitles. Some movies have their forced subtitles burned in, meaning they're graphics in the movie, not a subtitle track and can't be turned off. I think the John Wick movies are this way.
To make forced subtitles even more complicated (because again, there's no standard way it is done on disc) it is possible to have a single subtitle track that has all the subtitles for the whole movie in it, including any forced subtitle parts. The subtitles that are considered forced are tagged as such in the subtitle track. The player is supposed to notice that and do the right thing. Software players are bad at this, so MakeMKV has a feature where if a subtitle track has some entries that are marked forced it will (optionally, if you have it checked) output them into their own separate subtitle track. That's the indented subtitle track with the (forced only) at the end in the MakeMKV interface.
That style of forced subtitles, however, is rare. Most blu-rays in my experience, if they have forced subtitles, have a separate subtitle track that only contains the forced subtitles. As far as I know, you can only figure that out by ripping the movie and then checking the various subtitle tracks to figure out which is which.
