Re: [dvd::rip] Forced Subtitles

["Allan N. Snider" <allansnider@xxxxxxxxx>]

    This has been requested before.  It would be relatively easy to do.  The extsub filter actually does parse the forced flag from the subtitle stream, but then just throws it away.  If another field were added to the config.sub structure (in subproc.c), that information could be made available to the filter.  Then add an option to only render the subtitles that have the forced flag set.  I have a patch which does just this (and works), unfortunately, it is intergrated with numerous other changes to extsub I made that people normally don't want, as they introduce quite a few headaches in the encoding process, (such as being forced to encode using rgb instead of yuv).  If you are interested in the source patch, and re-building transcode for yourself, drop me a note and I will send it to you.

I’m not sure if this has been requested before, but can the option to only include subtitles that have been flagged as forced subtitles be added to dvd:rip? I can see this as being extremely useful and definitely something that I would want to see included. This is a great program and I am using it to transcode my dvd’s to XviD for use with MythVideo.

 

Thanks,
