the movie 2012

[nijaju]

I've traditionally stuck with .iso because they're convenient, lossless, and work well with my WDTV player. It seems that 2012 has only 1 video track over 5 minutes so I'm pretty sure that forced subs are not in another video stream. I just threw a copy of the 'full disc' on my player and I can choose from the different subs (much like my dvd player) but none of the subs are what I'm looking for. Like I said, with the DVD player, I only get these forced subs when I choose no subs.

My post about which subs where showing which text was wrong. The 1st English shows all speech in yellow, the 2nd English shows all speech in white, and the 3rd English shows the commentary subtitles. W&B, are you able to see subtitles for only the foreign parts in the preview window? I don't understand why the first subtitles track for me is all the speech and for you it's only the foreign parts. Am I understanding correctly?

Forced subtitles can be contained in another suppicture stream and do not necessarily show up in the list.

Have you selected the first english stream, turned forced subtitles on and used the preview window to skip to a time in the movie when you know that they occur?

[W&B]

Not sure of the problem, I did what I suggested and converted to mkv format and they work great for 2012.
Have you tried a conversion yet or is this just using the preview window?

Edit: I forgot to mention you have to select "render to video" not the idx/sub option in the conversion settings...

[nijaju]

Sure can, rip main movie only and include the first english subtitle track (usually the first track contains the forced subs). Then convert to a mobile format selecting "display forced subtitles only", either avi or mkv work great with the WDTV. here is a guide for mobile conversion thanks to GregiBoy

I'm not sure you understand what I'm saying so I'm sorry I'm not clear enough...let me give it another try. The forced subtitles are not showing up on my list of subtitles in dvdfab. The list is English, French, French, English, English. The english 1 shows nothing, haven't tried the french, english 2 shows all languages in yellow, english 3 shows all language in white. Am I the only one seeing this or is it common for this DVD. The only way I can get the forced subs (which are not listed in dvdfab) is with a dvd player by having subs set to none. Thanks.

Dansan: If you do only the main movie you will lose the english sub titles when the Chinese are speaking

Is there a way then, to copy main movie only and not lose the English subs during foreign language parts? I'd like to be able to play this on my WDTV but this is causing some issues. Playing this on my DVD player (had to pull it out of the box where I store it because I rarely use it anymore) I get the English translations only when I turn the subs off....kinda weird to me. If there's a way to do this or anyone can offer some insight, that'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Lower the write speed to half the rated speed, click the ImgBurn link in my sig to see how to configure the aws (automatic write speed) per media id, follow Troy512's video tutorial by clicking the first link in his post.

Also the blank media you're using is not the best, try Verbatim or Tayio Yuden.

For some reason your drive doesn't like this media, I would try to install ImgBurn to rule out the VSO engine having problems (and it does for lots of users) OR get some better quality media such as Verbatim.

Might be early signs of a dying drive also.

Are you using - or + R media and if you are using + media are you setting booktype to DVD-ROM

Post a burn log, it may help troubleshooting.

Hi
No not doing anything just a full backup then when its done I put it in the player and it tried to read im guessing then says disk error. Burned it twice with same result.

@ savage03.

Welcome to the forum. When you do back up are you changing the playback order, ie: remove anoying FBI warnings? If so when you put back up in your player and nothing happens try hitting skip sceen on your remote and then you should be able to go to the menu. This has worked for me in the past.
