BD Rebuilder, Several subtitles

[longtom]

Is there a easy way to check which subtitles are the forced ones?
So if i have several subtitles PGS_005, PGS_022, PGS_027, which one is the forced one when i play the disc in a BD Player?

I found this, is this right?

Apparently, in "settings", if you choose English (eng) as your ONLY subtitle and UNCHECK "keep only one subtitle for each language" it will play the forced subs.

So far it has worked for me to just pick English for the subs and leave "keep only one subtitle...." checked.

I have not found this to be the case.

At first I kept only one Eng sub, but I ran into trouble. IIRC, my first indication of trouble came with "Iron Man", where there are a handful of instances where the foreign dialogue SHOULD have been forced but it didn't show up. I had to manually turn on/off the full Eng subs whenever I came across one of those. Now I keep ALL Eng subs, but there are still some occasional problems. Recently, I found on "The Day the Earth Stood Still" that the forced subs (or what SHOULD have been forced) didn't show up until I manually selected one of the Eng subs (there were 3 I believe). In contrast, the forced subs in "District 9" worked fine, showing up automatically without any intervention from me.

So, the behaviour of forced subs remains a bit of a mystery to me. To be on the safe side I make sure that I keep ALL Eng subs so that, worse comes to worst, I can turn them on manually if I have to.

Mysterious indeed; welcome to the club! ;)

Keeping only one sub will fail if the forced subs come from another track (which is sometimes the case; it is a secondary track of "forced subs only" that is forced On when you hit Play).

In other cases the forced subs are individually flagged as forced in the sole English and/or English SDH tracks and these should always come On unless you have manually tinkered with them in some way (jdobbs would know if there is any circumstance under which this flagging gets lost when processed by BD-RB).
