Re: Getting foreign-only subtitles to burn-in

I'm having the same issue as the OP, while trying to convert a movie that I ripped from DVD using MakeMKV to an .mkv movie has built-in subtitles, but when I convert using HandBrake, the built-in subtitles disappear. I've attempted Foreign Audio Search (burned in & forced), as well as adding bot...

Determine correct Track to Rip

Description of problem or question: I'm a long time MakeMKV & Handbrake user, and I'm great at using both of them when it comes to really easy, basic rips. However, if MakeMKV shows multiple tracks, as in the instance of Incredibles 2 that I just bought for my daughter, how do I determine the c...

Movie won't play & Help with Subtitles

Hi there, I have two issues that I'm trying to deal with, and can certainly use the communities expert help. 1) After I've converted this particular movie, it will not play in the Finder (when I do a QuickView by pressing the Spacebar or clicking the Play button), or when I load it into iTunes 11.1....

Hi, Tonight I'm ripping a movie which has English as the primary language, with smatterings of French here and there. When I preview the movie in DVD Player, when the French is spoken there are subtitles. When I rip the movie using Foreign Audio Search with Forced Only checked, I get nothing. Checki...

Re: Missing Subtitles ...

It would appear that your source DVD is a 4:3 letterbox transfer with the subtitles burnt into the matting (black bars). You'll need to transcode with cropping manually set to zero. Got it, thanks! However, I'm not sure where to go in HB to change the cropping. Can you point me in the right directi...

Since we're talking about HB & VLC used in combo, how well does this combo work with Foreign films? My normal process has me go into HB and set the subtitle, as HB generally misses them on the scan. Are they handled any differently using the HB & VLC combination, or were there updates to .9....

Re: New HB with 1st Gen Apple TV Issue

I use RipIt primarily, because it's very easy to use, and seems to work well, most of the time. I also have several versions of MTR, including 4.x which I use when RipIt fails. I'll then send the rips through DTOX to export the Movie Only, before sending it off to Handbrake. Quite the process ... bu...
