Re: Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

d00zah, Thank you for providing those two links regarding "extraction." The problem is that I am not familiar with how to enter "Tags" and "Codes" such as the ones listed for the MKVtoolnix GUI program. This makes the first link useless. Do you know of a way to personal...

Re: Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

QUESTION: Can someone please explain how to properly use the MKVtoolnix GUI "Extract" feature for the subtitles?

If possible, can you please do this in a step by step way.

Thank you.

Re: Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

woodstock, Thank you for those suggestions. I considered those; however, those won't work for me. These are the reasons why: 1. I really don't like the idea of using Handbrake, because even on its highest level of quality the Handbrake software does not offer "lossless" video conversion th...

Re: Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

ANOTHER QUESTION: Is there anything that can be entered as a "Tag" in MKVtoolnix GUI that will make it so a subtitle truly becomes "Forced"? I guess I simply don't understand "why" changing an item to be "Forced" in MKVtoolnix GUI to the point that it is ident...

Re: Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

Thank you for responding. Do you have a link to download the software program you are referring to from a safe spot? Also, once you have saved the new subtitle file with this tool you are referring to, is it MKV Toonix GUI that is used to put this new file back into the movie? ... I simply don't kno...

Forced Subtitles from Captain America 2 & 3 - Won't Work Properly

I always prefer "embedded" subtitles, because then I don't need to worry about whether or not the subtitles are seen. There are other blu-ray movies that online databases refer to as "Forced" and "Separate." For example, according to this online database, Captain Americ...

Re: MacGruber - Which Version?

I have now learned the shorter version is actually a larger file and it is the "Theatrical" version. The longer version is actually a shorter file and is an "Extended" version. It was confusing to me that the "longer" version was actually a smaller file.

Re: Overboard (2018)

With normal Java installs, you can leave the location blank, and MakeMKV will find it. As long as the custom location points to a working copy of java.exe, the logs should show that it found when needed. If the JRE is set up properly, AND you insert a Blu-Ray disk with "fake playlist protectio...

Re: Overboard (2018)

If the log says "java failed", that means MakeMKV detected a need for Java (playlist obfuscation detected), but it could not execute it. The standard Java installation SHOULD put the proper values in the registry for MakeMKV to find it. Assuming you have debug logging enabled, there shoul...

Re: Overboard (2018)

I have now confirmed that the following information is correct. I watched both the MakeMKV and the original Blu-ray and the scenes from this match the Blu-ray perfectly: Title information Name: Overboard Source file name: 00741.mpls Duration: 1:52:18 Chapters count: 16 Size: 33.4 GB Segment count: 2...

Re: Overboard (2018)

If you have Java installed, did you look up towards the top of the list? MakeMKV will sort the titles it thinks are correct towards to top of the list, with "(FPL_MainFeature)" next to one on the first page. It won't be in numeric order. When I tried using MakeMKV, it said Java had failed...
