90312: After hours of testing I believe I have the solution to your problem of subtitles always on and maybe exposed a bug in Fab version 9 for at least the last 2 versions 9123 and 9125.

I have duplicated the always on subtitles it happened when I fooled around with the little arrow next to the subtitle.(default setting) in main movie changing it to different settings to see what happens.

Once you mess with this setting Fab seems to do something and keep your external player always playing the subtitles when a burnt disk is played.This may be a memory thing in Fab.This happened on 2 Panasonic players a new one and a old one.I don't know if it effects other brands but it could.This happens regardless of the Fab settings for always display forced subtitles in conversions setting.

The cure is simple load a disk in Fab select main movie and select under subtitles none (this seems to clear Fabs memory or what ever causes this) then select all the English subtitles and don't use the little arrow to select a default subtitle.

Now Fab will be able to play both subtitles only when you turn them on in the player.As Signals pointed out the player can remember the last setting for subtitles so you may have to turn them off in your player just one last time as to clear it's memory.

Thank You, i see you don`t give up too. I will look into what you said but i have had people say on the dvd fab forum that they get the subtitles easily.
Also, it seems i shouldn`t be mentioning Dvd Shrink, (oh dear i did), but the only way i can get subtitles is to include both "normal captions and forced captions" or just "normal captions" when backing up, but the captions come up for all english and other in the movie. Cheers

If you think that was rude, I assure you that I can well exceed that.

I have also noted that you have been a PITA on this issue and did not tell everyone until very late in the piece that you were using the FREE version and playing around with other software.

I can also assure you, it will not happen on my watch.

Please, no more bickering. I will not tolerate it!!!
If this is a bug as my friend glenns suggests, I'm sure it will get fixed.

9 pages and I still don't get what the actual problem is. And what about DVD Shrink? If you rip the complete disc with it, it will show only the subs it's authored to show, in that case most likely the forced subs. Still, standalones can overwrite this setting. If you reauthor the disc in Shrink, you can right-click on the main movie and select which subtitle track to display.

It is my understanding that you can't mix regular and forced subs in DVDFab. So you end up with one subtitle stream that's forced OR one stream that has all subs but you cannot have track one with forced subs and track two with all subs.

Well that`s unfortunate and complicated because what i want is quite simple> copy a disc and at the end have subtitles that show when playing the movie.Wow.

The wolverine still could not got any subtitles on your copy result?
Anybody else has this issue?
Try to find a title looks like main movies in other title. And copy main movies with all the subtitle(I donot know if you still has none subtitles).
Maybe a subtitle can be played with someone.
I will try my dvd disc to find this issue out.
I am sorry about that.

All

Please do not bicker at each other about this issue, it helps no one. And do not further confuse the issue by using other software to process the content, the goal here is to see what DVDFab is doing and correct anything that is wrong.

I have tried to duplicate the 'always plays subs' issue and I can't. If you have a burned disc or VIDEO_TS folder of a Main Movie rip that always plays subs that are not forced subs, please take the following steps:

1) copy the VIDEO_TS.IFO and VTS_01_0.IFO files to a zip or rar file and attach them to a post.

2) send me a PM to make sure I know they are here

You can use DVDSubEdit (free) to see if the subs are forced. You can use IfoEdit or PGCEdit (both free) to see if the subs are playing by default and either of the IFO tools will let you modify the files so that the subs no longer play without user intervention (see attached capture). If you are aware of a way that subs can play automatically without defaulting them on or without a start command (forced subs), please enlighten us.

Wow.

And there goes my willingness to help. Good luck.

The always on subtitles seems to be my Panasonic BR player. I ripped Lone Ranger with other software, both transcoders and encoders, and burned with different burning engines and a single layer copy has always on subtitles any disk. So I must conclude that it is not a DVDFab issue.

My results are very different also using a Panasonic blu ray player DMP-BD75 a older model that came out before Cinavia had to be installed by law.

On my Panasonic the results were repeatable with many different blu rays and conclude it is something Fab does and it can easily be turned to be always on or always off within the fab program selection process when selecting subtitles.

My results are if you select subtitles in main movie with the default arrow next to a subtitle and have a check mark in the box then burn to disk with fab burner or img burn burner my Panasonic will always have the regular subtitles playing without turning them on.You must turn them off with the players remote if you want them off.We are talking about the regular subtitles not forced.

If you do not use the little black arrow to select a default subtitle and the English subs are selected with just the normal check mark in the box then My Panasonic will only play the regular subtitles if you use the remote control to turn them on.

This is not a problem for me as I know what to do for my player however should this happen to someone else this is posted so you can see their is a way to turn the always on subs off if your model acts as mine does.Also goes to show 2 different models of the same brand acting so different.

I again processed a disc Wolverine and the subtitles appear for all talking including english and japanese. it seems like for hearing impaired. As far as i know my settings in dvd fab are correct. Any clues please?

To get only Forced Subtitles, should i be using Ripper option and not Dvd Copy?.

[julesco]

Dvd Fab Subtitles

I now have an activated paid Dvd Copy version never to expire and therefore only using Dvd Fab and Imgburn.
So, i`ve tried lots of things spending many hours to try and get captions/subtitles for just the language other than English in the movie.
The following is what i`ve tried and results, selecting in the subtitles drop down in Dvd Copy.
(1) Selected Normal Captions together with English Forced captions-Result>Captions for both English and Japanese at the same time as they speak. Also, sound descriptions/captions such as plane or car revving. (2) Selected English normal captions-Result (same as (1)>Captions for both English and Japanese at the same time as they speak. Also, sound descriptions/captions such as plane or car revving. (3)Selected English Forced Captions by itself-Result>No captions at all.
Played them all on Dvd Fab Media Player and subtitles are set to English.
So, i understand that people get subtitles/captions in this movie for just the Japanese language and nothing else.
Therefore, i appreciate anyone who has success with this and to show me what settings they use.
All help is welcome.
