Im trying to find the subtitle track in starswars EP1 that is a forced english subtitle for the alien speach. I used VobSub to extract all the subtitles and then SubResync to view each subtitle but for each english track the column marked 'Forced' was empty. Does anyone have a clue on how to find this permanent subtitle track (not as big as other subtitiles since aliens dont speak much during the movie)?

Thanks

There are several ways to do it...DVDDecrypter will list the steams in IFO mode and will sometimes spell out which ones are forced.
The way I commonly do it is use the latest subrip program, 1.13 i think, and set the global options in the options drop down to Forced subtitles only (that way the prog will only output the forced titles) and the use an educated guess to tell which stream (sometimes i have to go thru all of them). I EP1 i think the forced subs were in both stream 3 and 4 (different fonts) under spanish and french (they were in english...don't ask me why)...hope that helps...

damn, so the forced english subs were streams 3 and 4 (spanish), cos i used dvd decrypter in file mode then used ifoedit to strip all subtitle streams except the 3 english ones then used subrip to view all those subtitles (but i couldnt find the forced one). Must of deleted it when i stripped it.
