Force-adding only "forced subs" with AVISynth?

[RyaNJ]

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had a clue how this could be done. I have heard of a plugin called vsfilter that lets you add subtitles directly into the file however I can't find documentation on adding only the forced subs into the file directly.

Any help with this would be much appreciated, be it with that plugin or any other method that you guys can think of.

Load VSFilter.dll, and use the VobSub() filter with your subs. From the header of an idx (of an idx/sub pair):
# ON: displays only forced subtitles, OFF: shows everything
forced subs: OFF

I don't know of any other format that supports forced subs.

ok. So I grab the subs with VobSub for example (which only outputs idx/sub files as far as I can tell), make that change then manually add the items to the avisynth script?

With vobsub's ripping/extraction feature I think you can tell it to set the forced subs flag. How are you running vobsub? Anyway, yes, that is how you can do it.

I'm loading it via a tool in MeGUI so I'll probably have to edit the file manually as I have no access to the command used to call the application.

Yes you do. Simply open the VSrip program for your self and do it through there.

Actually I meant directly from MeGUI and was not aware of the above application but I think I'll use it as I prefer not to manually edit files. Cheers.
