Subtitles

Post by eloo »

Hi,

Great fan of this app! Just need a little help with subtitles burned in. I use the CLI version (WIN). If I do a title scan, it will show subtitles like:
-20bd, English
-21bd, Danish

Now, how do I select say 21bd? --subtitle 2 in the CLI?

Thanks,
eloo

-s 2 should do it I think.
Be careful with autocropping on 2.35:1 ratio movies, because if the subtitles are on the black bit I think they can get cut off (sometimes only the second line of them!). If that happens just do --crop 0:0:0:0 which will leave it at 16:9 with the black bars which make the actual picture part 2.35:1.

Are you positive about this? That doesn't strike me as being in accord with how HB rips and superimposes the subtitle stream. But then, the subtitle decoder is probably the least understandable part of the source code...
