I'm having all kinds of problems technically. But I think a lot of it is my own issue to deal with. For MC16 I have to use ffdshow for subtitle rendering. And I think that's got some issues with the new forced sub option. I mean, with the chain I've got going on, it's not surprising that it's having problems. However, even with MPC-HC's subtitle renderer, forced subs aren't working flawlessly. Salt didn't seem to work right for me, either. So I don't know if it's a bug or if it's something in my config.

According to that spreadsheet, Avatar has flagged forced subs too, just like D9, Salt and Paprika, so these should be the same. I'm gonna choose one of the movies of that sheet.

Ok, forget everything I've said. I have no idea what the HELL happened. It *DOES* work with MPC-HC's subtitle renderer. It does NOT work with ffdshow subtitle renderer. This situation sucks, but, it is what it is. It means I can't use this in MC16. But District 9 works with the MPC-HC sub renderer. Now if only I could use that in MC16. I so wish Nev would write us a proper subtitle renderer.

Yea, see my latest post. It works fine with MPC-HC's sub renderer. So, blank my life, but, that's just how it goes.

The JRiver folks are also very responsive to customer requests, aren't they? I tried their player a long time ago and liked it, but I really didn't need it.

Yea they are. ffdshow just ain't working. No matter what I try. Not for this. We so need a better sub renderer.

I think we're talking about 2 different things. It does preserve the flags within the pgs stream, but does not set the forced flag for the track inside the mkv. LAVSplitter needs the latter. I suspect that if LAVSplitter is automatically loading the track, and you have not set the flag with mmg's header editor, then it is probably just loading the first track.

BTW: Another, more recent movie with forced subs: The Tourist.

OT: In MakeMKV, you can always select the option to extract forced subs - if there are none, it will not create the extra track.

You still have to turn on the subs even if you wanna see only the forced captions within the normal sub track. I don't see much value over having an actual forced full track, but you can set the flag quickly with mkvmerge, without remuxing. I don't know what LAVF Splitter does with such a track, or MPC-HC's sub renderer, for that matter.

I'm confused.

Are you saying that you have a pgs stream, containing all normal subs (plus individual forced subs), and somehow you are able to display only the forced subs?

That's the point of what Nev just added.

Ooooh. Looks like I missed a few pages here.

I hope this clears up my confusion a bit:

Thats something a sub renderer should be doing. I don't interpret any streams, i just send them to the decoders to do their magic with.

Personally, i have only seen BluRays where the forced subs are in their separate track, though. (Sadly, you cannot detect if they are forced subs just from the track. <.<)
Very cool stuff.

This, combined with madVR being able to use MPC-HC's internal sub renderer makes things soooo much sweeter.

BIG, BIG Thanks Nev!

Amen to that. I just wish it would work with ffdshow's sub renderer so I can continue to use MC16. Case in point I'm watching The Crow (japanese import) in MC16 with LAVF Splitter/ffdshow audio/cyberlink video decoder/madVR as we speak. Right off the disc. Fortunately no subs for this one, but, I'd LOVE to get the forced sub thing to work.

Just tested this with two mkv's: The Tourist, with which I did not extract a separate, forced sub stream (so, the forced subs are embedded in the normal subs stream); and Avatar which I had previously ripped by extracting the extra forced stream (flagged as forced by mmg).....

Both work perfectly by setting Subtitle Selection Mode to "Only Forced Subs" and Blu-ray Subtitles to "Deliver only Forced Subtitles".

I can see though, how his will be tricky to select full subtitles in a pgs stream....

Would it be possible for LAVSplitter to create a virtual "forced" track, which will load automatically, then you can then select the full subs, for example, via Right Click > Navigate, or even by the player's "next subtitle" keyboard shortcut ("S" in MPC-HC)?

Nev is planning on some enhancements to make it easier to use.

SamuriHL - I DO GET Subs working fine in MC16 to start with then for some reason they stop displaying after about 30 sec with my latest filter config. It has to be either FFDSHOW or the way LAVSplitter works with FFDSHOW for these. I posted the filter info a few post earlier at http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...postcount=1978 + I've tried all sorts of various options in ffdshow, etc but I've no idea why it would work for a bit then simply stop displaying them. I'm testing with D9 and Avatar both off the disc and muxed to various containers. I'm also sure I had an earlier config working fine....but I can not seem to work out what it was now (so may bits have changed).

If you're using mkvs though, you always have the option to choose which forced subs you wanna rip to a separate track, like I did with Paprika.

Sigh. This isn't a good situation for us. I wish we could have the sub rendering code from mpc in mc16.
