Confused about Subtitles

[wunderlong88]

I have been trying to encode the foreign audio subtitles on Battle of Britain. I think I've tried everything...lol...with no success. I thought I was supposed to add the foreign audio track, check forced only and burn in. I did this (and several other combinations) but nothing has worked. How can I get the subtitles to show up for the german dialogue in english?

Also, I know when I tried in the past I couldn't encode english subtitles from the dvd with the movie (either hard or soft). Is this still true?

I have Win. 10 and the most recent Handbrake 10.5

Ok...I feel stupid but I just discovered that the mkv file I created of Battle of Britain using Makemkv didn't "rip" the foreign audio subtitles. Not sure how to get it to but I guess I will work on that. Maybe I don't have a Handbrake issue at all.

It didn't?

Stream #0.2(eng): Subtitle: dvdsub (default)

There is a subtitle stream in your MKV file. It is being passed through, according to your settings.

Yes...I finally found it...I started a new thread (I hope that was ok)
