Subtitles on Iron Man 3/Star Trek - Darkness

Post by Bossone »

When I use MKV on these, the subtitles automatically show up and I can't get rid of them. What am I doing wrong?

Check your playback software.

VLC, as an example, unless told otherwise, will play the first subtitle track it finds in the language you set as a preference. On movies like Star Trek, that is a full text subtitle track.
I use VLC to test them and iTunes to play them via apple tv. I first use VLC/handbrake to rip and if I have issues then I go to MKV, and then use handbrake again.

Last night Handbrake did remove the subtitles and I made sure it had forced subtitles on.
You're introducing a lot of software configuration issues here. Handbrake could be burning subtitles in. You really need to JUST test things with MakeMKV, to figure out where the issue is... which means that you're only testing up to the point where you use Handbrake to make the files into MP4 files for iTunes.

Actually that is what I'm doing if there is issues with Handbrake. If there is I go to MKV and let it do it's thing directly to the disk, otherwise you are correct in that you have to many variables.
