Script for no subtitles, other languages?

Post by oatmeal769 »

I know. "search for the answer." I have, and I'm sure it's here somewhere, but after 45 minutes and these threads among others:

https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7706
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7990
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9519
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19777
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4386

I can't find what I need, so here's the question.
When the program first analyzes the disk, every file is selected. I have to go through and unselect subtitles and foreign languages.

This is the (default) script I have:
-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang

I'd like to know how to un-select all subtitles, and languages other than English. Can someone point me to the thread with that script listed?

Thanks

Did you set the "Preferred Language" (this is related to the "Favlang") in the MakeMKV settings? The default is "Nolang", so everything is selected.
Good Luck :)

I thought I had but hadn't. I just did so now.

The new script reads:
"-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang"

And all of the non-English boxes are now un-selected, so that's 2/3 of the problem solved. Thank you!
Now, English Subtitles are all that is left. Is there a way to un-select all subtitles regardless of what language?

Doc of the selection options: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4386

This selects (I hope) all Audio "Favlang" (ENG in your case) and "NOLANG" (some tracks are wrong specified) tracks. All subtitle tracks remains still deselected with the "-sel:all"

"-sel:all,+sel:audio(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang"
Good Luck :)

That causes no audio and no subtitles selected at all.

If you don't feel like working on it, it's totally cool, You've already been super helpful! I can live with having just the English subtitles available. Who knows, I may lose the rest of my hearing someday ;)

Next try, the syntax is a little bit tricky :D

-sel:all,+sel:(audio&(favlang|nolang)),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang
Good Luck :)

Yes, especially for me who knows little about how.
That worked! I SO appreciate it!!
I'll try it on a few discs, but it looks like it worked on a DVD I just ripped! Again, THANK YOU!
