I know this topic has been addressed in the past, but it seems it's never truly been resolved. I've run in to some considerable frustration trying to rip my DVD copy of the movie 2012, keeping just the forced subtitles (there's a good amount of Chinese conversation in the movie). The DVD contains 5 subtitle tracks (English, French, French, English, English), the first English track being the normal subtitles, the second English track being visually impaired subtitles, and the third director's commentary.
However, "Display only forced subpicture" on the first track fails to distinguish the forced subs from the normal ones and renders every single English subtitle. DVDSubEdit also reads all subtitles as forced. The forced subtitles display fine on DVD players, however, so there's obviously forced flags in there somewhere. I've heard things about Sony Pictures using unconventional practices for subtitle integration, but I'm not sure.
Can anyone shed some light on this subject? It's driving me mad!
