I ripped my DVD using Robot4Rip 0.6, and DVDdecryptor 3.5.4.0

I'm having trouble getting only the non-English speech subtitles that are on during regular playback of the DVD to display once I've ripped and encoded the film. I checked the guide on forced subs and it doesn't work in this case.

There are 7 subtitle streams present. When viewed in vobsub's Subresync, there is no stream that is shorter than the others, so there is no stream only for non-english speech.

There are also no places where any subs are marked "forced" in the forced column, in any of the streams. I even know where a few subtitle lines are that correspond with non-English speech, I checked them, and they weren't marked "forced" in any of the streams.

I'm not really sure what else I can do here, advice would be appreciated. I had exactly the same problem with Star Wars episode I a few years back, and I ended up manually editing out the English parts. I had to sit through the movie, mark where they were, and manually delete everything else. It was a huge PitA and I have to believe there's a better way.

DVDSubEdit can locate your forced subs that are embedded in the regular subs.
