I am trying to convert all 6 star wars films from blu ray to .mkv, and then from .mkv to .m4v (via another conversion program) so I can add the movies into my iTunes library and play them on my Apple TV. I have done this successfully with several movies and the quality comes out great. My problem is that I can't seem to only get the forced subtitles to appear. I don't want all of the subtitles, only the ones where characters are talking in another language (like when Han is talking to Greedo in the Mos Eisley Cantina). If anyone out there can offer any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

When ripping Blu-Ray do you check the display only forced subpicture option? That should give you what you want, Don't have a ton of experience with the .mkv containers though.. :(

I tried that. It never seems to work properly. I've tried it about a dozen different ways and it never seems to work out the way I want it to

You can try BD ripper to iPad.1080p.mp4 with "Display only forced subpicture". Fab will detect the forced subtitle automatically and render it to video.

BD ripper - iPad Will BD ripper to iPad create a version that will stream at 1080p on Apple TV??

[QUOTE=tanker5;124409]Will BD ripper to iPad create a version that will stream at 1080p on Apple TV??[/QUOTE] Apple TV just supports 720p for h264 video.

[QUOTE=terry5;124449]Apple TV just supports 720p for h264 video.[/QUOTE] Even the latest Apple TV?

[QUOTE=terry5;124293]You can try BD ripper to iPad.1080p.mp4 with "Display only forced subpicture". Fab will detect the forced subtitle automatically and render it to video.[/QUOTE] I tried that. I tried it on each of the full length titles on the disc. The closest I can get is either a movie with all subtitles or no subtitles. I can't seem to get only the forced subtitles. The same thing happened when I tried to rip the Avengers also.

I am also having this subtitle problem with The Avengers from bluray iso and tried a lot of various combinations without success (even with v9 beta). I'll try again using different software for the ripping that searches for foreign audio and can burn in the subtitles that way. Cheers, gwl

I have tested that Star wars 1 to 6 do not have forced subtitles. Please make sure whether the disc have forced subtitles by watch it with no subtitles selected. Thanks.

Forced subtitles in Star Wars

[QUOTE=dglidden;126470]I just went back to Star Wars New Hope and found the sibtitles in the 3rd from the bottom English track and you do have to use the forced subtitles feature for them.[/QUOTE]

This is what worked for me. 3rd from the bottom forced subtitles on. FYI, it only worked on my original blu ray not the backup blu ray.

never mind, that didn't work.

I am struggling with these titles. No matter what I try I can't get the subs to rip. Do I select the first video title (800)1?

I have tried every sub, forced, not forced, etc.

signals

1) Select 800(1)
2) Select the bottom (last) English sub stream ONLY
3) Select Display Only Forced

See the attached captures for more info. This is from the disc in the box set. The second capture is from a MP4 conversion with BD Ripper, v9.2.2.8.

thanks for the tip, I never noticed the "find forced subtitle stream!".

lukesjr

didn't work

if anyone else has trouble, I figured it out. I had to use makemkv to rip the title. The list of correct subs in this thread is correct, but dvdfab didn't work for me.

Step by step
Rip dvd with makemkv, selecting the correct sub as listed.
Use DVDfab to compress to mp4.
