I finally figured out my issue with forced subtitles for all my movies except one: Avatar. Has anyone successfully ripped a Blu-ray of Avatar with the forced subtitles? If so could you please tell me what format you used? avi, mp4, wma, ect. and which stream? I've tried just about every stream and audio combination as well as avi, mtk, mp4 and wma and I still can not get the forced subtitles to show up. Thanks in advance for any help.

I made an MP4 of Avatar when it first came out and they worked, even had the script-like font. If this is the new "extended" version, it may be authored differently.

This is the new boxed extended version. Is there any way of tracking down the subtitles for blu-rays?

Let DVDFab analyze it in Blu-ray Ripper mode. It should identify any stream where it finds forced subs. If they do not show up in the GUI, check the internal log as well.

I did the Extended version released here in Oz and the forced subtitles in Papryus font when Na'avi is spoken is still burnt in to the video and there was no need for any forced subs.

GregiBoy, may I ask what format you used and you simply unchecked all your subtitles?

Yeah, I used MKV and yes, unchecked all... I had a similar problem when the DVD was released and I rememberd it.

Okay I'm posting the internal log and hopefully that will show what I am doing wrong because I am still not getting forced sub titles. Thanks for looking at it and I appreciate whatever feedback you can give me.

Hi dglidden， It shows no forced subpicture in the disc. Please play it in PowerDVD,do not select any subpicture and check whether forced subpicture shows or not.

Hi - I've been working on this one too (AVATAR EXTENDED CUT - BOX SET - BLU RAY - UK RELEASE), for a number of months - I have not been able to find a solution to this problem. I have tried numerous connotations of 'Ticked' and 'Unticked' in the subtiles boxes and various profiles including MP4, AVI, MKV, M4V, VOB and none of them will render the 'Navi' translation subtitles directly to the video output. I predict that the Navi translation is encoded into the second English subtitle stream from the list, as no subtitles appear (when the Navi speak) when the video is previewed using the DVD Player preview function with either the "Direct Render to Video" ticked or unticked. DVD Fab just does not pick them up! Must be different encoding (something to do with the 'Font Type' maybe? but I'm no expert!). In reply to the post above - When the disk is played using 'Power DVD' the Navi translation is shown correctly. Perhaps a member of the DVD Fab team can acknowlege the issue or if someone finds at least a temporary fix they could post the 'EXACT' settings here. Here's hoping Hans302

I did play this movie and there are forced sub pictures so since DVD fav isn't showing them then the issue would seem to be with the software.

That's just it, I can't find anything to import. On a side note, I did find something interesting, when I select the Chinese subtitle and select the forced on it the Chinese characters show up for the Na-vi translation between Grace and Norm at the beginning.

I gave the disks to my kids so I can't try it again. Perhas Signals could give it a go.
