At the moment I'm using version 9.0.6.6 beta (but this problem has happened with previous versions as well) and I'm having a problem where some Blu-ray titles seem to have no working sub-titles despite English sub-titles being selected. But this problem is really the exception rather than the rule as 4 out of 5 ripps the sub-titles work fine. I typically use ripp to Avi, codec h264 and Sub-title: Extract to idx/sub file which has always seemed to work well with my choice of video player Media Player Classic. For example both "A Bridge Too Far" and "Hereafter" seem to have this problem, in "A Bridge..." sub-title options are None, Display forced only, English, Spanish and English. I've tried ripping with the default English sub-titles and when that didn't work I re-ripped with both English sub-titles options selected. In media player classic I have Play / SubTitles / Enable and Default style checked and at the bottom of the subtitles menu I can see two options for both English subtitles but unlike most other movies when either one is selected I still get no sub-titles of any kind? Has anyone seen a problem like this? Any idea's? Thanks, - Norm

Agreed: forced subtitles not working in 9.0.6.7. Particularly, A good Day to Die Hard. The very start, where the guy is being visited in the prison. On the DVD there are subtitles for their dialog. In the M4V file I ripped (x 5) with various settings - nothing.. Using the Apple.TV3 profile.

So select the second English subtitle track, but don't select "forced only". IIRC you'll find the same thing on A Bridge too Far. I've got both the relevant subtitles saved as "srt" files, so if you still can't figure it out, PM me.

Thanks Nick I'll give it a go. Frustrating when there are all these different "standards" ...

The Tourist - Another problem title I tried ripping the movie "The Tourist" and according to the ripper it has three English audio tracks and I selected all of them to be included in the ripp. When I play the movie, subtitles are enabled and at the bottom of the play / subtitles menu I see English, English, English and I try selecting each one in turn and I get no subtitles no matter which is selected. Again, this is the exception rather than the rule but for some reason with the Avi format and export subtitles to idx/sub file there seems to be this problem with a number of titles. Does anyone have any other idea's? - Norm

DVD Ripper Subtitles not working on some titles? I just tried The Tourist again with version 9.0.7.2 and with all three English subtitles tracks selected I still have the same results as previously that when playing the Avi file no matter which English subtitles track I try and select I just don't get any subtitles. Of all the selectable titles that show in the ripper title 1 is the only one with a playtime of 1:43:28 and every other titles is 9 minutes or less so title 1 is the only one that represents the entire movie. And when I go to the BDMV\PLAYLIST folder and play 00001.mpls I have these choices in the subtitles menu in my player: English [eng](pgs) English [eng](pgs) French [fra](pgs) Spanish [spa](pgs) French [fra](pgs) English [eng](pgs) Forced Subtitles (auto)(English) No subtitles In Media Player Classic the default subtitles appears to be "Forced Subtitles (auto)(English)" and when that's selected I do get subtitles as they should be when playing the movie. However in the ripper the line and checkbox for "Display only forced subtitles" is grayed out and not selectable. I believe that this suggests that there's some kind of problem with the ripper and some blu-ray titles where there's no way to get subtitles working with the Avi format since Nik Simpson seems to suggest that at least with the title "A Bridge Too Far" that ripping to the Mkv format did not have this problem. Can anyone comment on this? - Nomr

And the same thing on Dances with Wolves and many others (but not all!). For AVIs you should select only a single sub stream and then select Direct Render to Video. The movies will then play with the forced subs, just as they did in a theater.

There's no problem with Ripper. The problem is with how these titles are authored.

I mean after all When playing the actual playlist file / movie subtitles appear to work correctly. - Norm

DVD Ripper Subtitles not working on some titles?

Thanks Fred, for me this problem with no sub-titles is getting to be a real problem. For a movie like Man Of Steel where everything is English and you don't need sub-titles this is not a problem. But, in movies like Elysium where in the beginning there's a lot of Spanish or in The Wolverine where there's a lot of Japanese and I can't seem to get sub-titles to work no matter what the ripper is useless since you really need sub-titles to know what's going on.

I've sent support an email with details and referenced this thread to see if I can get any acknowledgement that this is known and is in the queue to be worked on for a future release.

I'll post back if I get any information from support.

Does not show the forced subtitle when ripper DVD to mkv/mp4 with remux subtitle and "Display the forced subtitle only" option selected, but It's OK when select render subtitle.

Please wait some time to fix the issue.

Sorry for this to trouble you!

Hi Wilson:

Thanks for looking into this problem; just for your information I use Ripp to Avi/h.264 and extract sub-titles to idx/sub file. and not mkv/mp4 with remux subtitle.

Wilson.Wang

I noticed that you are playing the file with MPC, I've tried to play the avi file with idx/sub subtitle file.
Does not show any subtitle in MPC but it's fine when playing with VLC, same file and same subtitle.

Please download VLC and see the result.

Not sure that it's the issue of MPC or DVDFab, need to check.

Wilson

Wilson.Wang

Confirm that it's a bug of DVDFab9, Fab8 is OK.
Thanks for your good feedback.
Please use the VLC to play the video first.

Wilson
