Greetings to all :
My question is about the issue of forced subtitles that are integrated in the same general subtitle track , belonging to each particular language (in my case, the track in Spanish) , for example, " The DaVinci Code " , etc. .. ... ¿ Which would be the most effective tools and method to discover its possible existence on a track , and can be "extracted" for inclusion in a manual DVD authoring , for viewing on a home DVD , without having to view ALL the subtitle track ?
I would be grateful for any help in this regard on this issue. Thank you all in advance and sorry for my bad english .

Maybe there are other ways, but one would be to load the subtitle stream in BDSup2Sub and then look at the last line printed in the console, which looks something like this if there are no forced captions:
Detected 0 forced captions.
You can then also save only the forced captions.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Oxdeadbeef
Your program looks very good
¿ Is there any aspect in the configuration of it that should give particular consideration to this process?
Also I forgot to ask, logically, if there are any method to avoid this work, which could simply hide the track captions and force display only forced subtitles part of it may contain.
In short, any help in this regard, whether one way of another, will be well received.
Thanks to all

Just deselect all conversion options in the conversion dialog, like "Convert Resolution", "Change Frame Rate" and "Apply free Scaling".
Then load the subtitle, check if there are forced captions and if you wish, save them by checking the checkbox "Export only forced" in the Export Dialog.
