With MakeMKV he gives you some nifty options. You can add regular subs, but, he also gives you the option of extracting only the forced subs for each subtitle track. So you have the choice to do full subs, forced subs only, or both meaning it makes a separate sub track for forced. I've got to play with this some more. Haali seems to always pick the first sub track from what I've seen. I don't think there's a way to change the order of the subs so the forced track is first, though.

For anyone interested, I documented the steps SamuriHL used to get PGS subtitles in mkvs working:

If somebody can oblige, I still would like a short PGS.MKV sample for testing with my Xtreamer and XtreamerPro hardware player...
Many thanks

I've still not been able to find a sample short enough with HD audio and PGS subs. The issue is you can't use anything to cut it down in size because it breaks the MKV. It has to be small enough to be done directly in MakeMKV without editing and I simply don't have anything that small in my collection.

I had tested out my District 9 mkv with PGS subs with my Xtreamer a few months ago and it did not work. If I have a few minutes either today or tomorrow I will test again.

Some improvements have been made to subtitle parsing in the closed beta firmwares. Plus the XtreamerPro has twice the memory of the Xtreamer Mk1

OK, I think we have gotten Off Topic from the purpose of this thread so back to discussing HD Audio

Yea, Seb, that's an awesome file. Should allow the hardware streaming guys to check their equipment to see if this workflow will work for them. I'm now an MKV convert. With albain's incredible work on ffdshow for bitstreaming, dxva, and subtitles and with MakeMKV making it SO easy to create MKV's with embedded PGS subs (including stripping forced subs into a separate track) there's just no reason to use anything else for movie backups. I'm not looking back.

BTW, if you like the idea of mkvmerge + MPC-HC + PGS subs this is entirely possible to do, as well. I guess I forgot to mention this configuration. If you extract the PGS subs seperately, you can drop them into a folder and ffdshow can be configured to check for them. So no splitting needed. This allows you to make MKV's with mkvmerge, use the MPC internal splitter, and still have PGS subs. Nice, yes?
@MikeEby You could make an option in Another EAC3To GUI to extract the PGS files. I configure ffdshow to look in .\subtitles for the SUP files, for example. So in your UI, you could have an option to extract PGS files and give a relative path to the output MKV to put them in. Just a thought anyway.

I tested the provided sample "as is" with my Xtreamer and although the PGS subtitles were detected, they were not rendered I then wondered what MKVmerge GUI (v4.0.0) would make of the provided sample and was surprised to discover it was able to "detect" the PGS subtitles and re-mux the entire file. (Although direct input of PGS subtitles is not supported). I tested the "re-muxed" MKV file with my Xtreamer, and again, although the PGS subtitles were detected, they were not rendered... Bummer! Undaunted, I decided to re-mux the individual streams into the .M2TS container using TSremux GUI, and the PGS subtitles were detected and rendered By-the-way, VLC player v1.1.0 RC was able to display the PGS subtitles for all three files. Cheers all

EDIT: Well I was just schooled on sub file naming conventions. movie.lang#.sup So, District9.eng.sup, District9.eng2.sup, etc.

However, given that I now have a viable PGS in .MKV sample, I will send this to the Xtreamer developers to see if they can get it to work. The more samples the better though

I am sure Mike can come up with something. I know one issue with PGS subs was that MKVMerge didn't support, but according to SeeMoreDigital it appears that version 4.0 now supports PGS so who knows, maybe the sky is the limit. Mike's done a great job with AEAC and I am sure he still has more tricks up his sleeve
