I have tried every option imaginable with DVDFAB and I cannot get this to work. I have another movie that has forced subtitle (Universal Soldier Regeneration) that worked perfectly. I have done full movie, main movie, dts hd audio and dolby digital 2 channel and 5.1. Tried forced only direct rendor to video and extract to idk/sub file and I get nothing. I tried direct rendor without checking forced and nothing. Why is it that one movie works perfectly and another one does not? Very frustrating. Basically I want to create an MKV version of AVATAR with forced subtitle so I can watch on my laptop. Im using windows media player to play it. I have the CCCP codec installed which enables me to play pretty much anything with wmp

Has anyone been able to figure this out? I am about to give up. I wanted a high quality mkv version for my laptop with forced subtitle guess i will have to settle with dvd version :-( -
The reason that one works and the other not is that the studios have authored them differently.
Are any subpictures showing up in the subpicture pane?
Studios can author forced subtitles 3 ways and the only thing that you can guarantee that it does not conform to any standard:-
1. Embedded in a language stream. In this case you have to select the language stream and then select "Forced Subtitles Only"
2. Embedded in their own stream. In this case, you have to select that stream only.
3. Actually rendered into the video.
This is why there can be difficulty in this process and the only way to track down what they have done is try the different permutations and combinations in either Fab's preview window or a software player."Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

If using the preview window in Fab, make sure to right click the preview window and select the audio or sub picture from the pop up screen, as it will still be playing the last selection that you checked off, and doing it this way resets the preview window and can give you a more accurate preview of the selection you want.Originally posted by akadennis View Post
Hope this helps

I personally didn't have this experience (for me it worked magically fine), but I have read on various forums in regards to forced subs in Avatar, that if you change size of a picture from native resolution, subs are actually not getting re-sized but dropped. And you have to extract them, re size outside and render them back in. That's why you could see them in a preview and lost them in output content. So, please check in Video Effects section and set resolution to same as native and see what happened.Originally posted by akadennis View Postsigpic

You were able to get the forced subs on the blu ray version of AVATAR to an .mkv file? Please confirm and tell me how you did this.Originally posted by IPopov50 View PostComment

Confirming. How I did it? I have no idea, I guess I just made all the right clicks... I can tell, I didn't do anything tricky or special.
For sake of the experiment, in conjunction with my conversation with group of enthusiasts from other forum, we were able to leash those runaway subs using additional programs and multistage process. But that was unrelated to DVDFab, because I had success with Fab and didn't have any need to do anything special.sigpic

I am trying to avoid using other programs to extract subs since DVDFAB seems to work except with AVATAROriginally posted by IPopov50 View PostComment

well another evening trying to get forced subtitles out of the blu ray version of avatar to mkv or xbox 360. i give up, i have come to the conclusion that this is not possible. only one person said he got this to work and he has no idea what he did (see previous post) i can only assume this is not possible since no one else has successfully done thisComment
