Feature request
- Set subpictures as forced in the Vobs. (and reverse)
Changing the start display command 01h into forced start display 00h in the DCSQT can do that.
There is much misunderstanding about forced subpictures in the world.
But real forced subtitles must have this start command 00h.
You also can manually set some subpictures of a stream as forced that can't be switched off.
This feature is used in LordOTR (PAL 2). If subpics are switched off then only the (forced) alien dialog from the german sub stream is displayed.
You don't need a separate stream for forced subs, you can force them in the current stream.

My dvd players (with Omega chip set) can continuously resize the picture. Very nice feature I'm missing in new devices. So I can enlarge 2.35 movie format to fill the 16:9 screen.
But if I use resizing then normal subpictures disappear (switched off). Only forced subpictures are staying on their place.

[edit]Huhh. bigotti5 had the same request.
I completely agree with you about the misunderstanding. I too have seen much confusion about forced subtitles. Changing FSTA into STA and vice versa is the next thing I will implement. Compared to the rest, it's pretty easy!
