I Purchased 1986 French film "Betty Blue" MakeMKV and then Handbrake and finally edit the film with MetaX. I have converted over 2500 blu-rays, DVD's from my collection from the late 80's onward.
With Betty Blue I can not get the subtitles to work. After I open the file with MakeMKV and play it in an app like JRiver 26 or PowerDVD 19, the english subtitles work as expected. However, one I get to Handbrake, everything goes sideways.
Under subtitles, I am presented with "Foreign Audio Scan", when I click on that a drop down presents with "English [PGS]" and forced only is checked by default. burn in and default are unchecked. Next to that is a name whose box is blank.
I can add a track, a new track, closed caption and remaining selected. I have tried most of these and there are so many combo's, burn in, don't burn in. No matter what I try, I do not get any english sub title. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I can think of two other movies in my 5000+ collection that had english sub titles and I had no issues getting it to work. The MKV version of this film is nearly 40 Gb and a finished mp4 file is around 8-9 Gb.
Thank you for any help or advice.
