How to get soft subtitles from bluray?

Post by eyrieowl »

Hi,

So, I've been very happy with the settings I've been using for doing encodes from DVD. I get multiple audio tracks, multiple soft subtitle tracks, everything is wonderful. However, I've recently started trying to do my first set of blu-ray encodings (The Lord Of The Rings), and it's been exceedingly painful. The big problem that I'm running into is that I can not figure out how to get the subtitles to go in to the file as soft subtitles. Instead, it seems to want to burn in the first track (English), and ignores the other two passthrough tracks (in this case, Spanish and Portuguese). I've done a lot of searching both of Google and the forums, and while there seem to be a lot of people asking how to do the forced subtitles, I haven't seen anyone who seems to be having this particular issue, instead, some people seem to be searching to burn in the subtitles instead.

I've had the same issue whether I rip the bluray to MKV first via MakeMKV (built from source today) or if I access it directly via Handbrake. I'd note that when I rip it to MKV, and I play that MKV in VLC, the subtitles behave the way I want them to; however, if I then try to transcode it via Handbrake, I can't seem to preserve the subtitle behaviour of the source MKV file. I've tried extracting the .srt files and attaching them directly; I've also even gone so far as to convert them to idx and sub files (BDSup2Sub). If I import the .srt file as passthrough, it doesn't seem to do anything (I end up with no subtitle tracks). If I pick the .sub file instead of the .srt file, it also doesn't seem to do anything...but since the dialogue says "import srt", that was a longshot.

I've included a snippet of a lot from just the default settings I'm trying to use with the .mkv file (encoding the first 10% of the file...enough to be clear that the subtitles aren't showing up selectable as desired). I suspect, ultimately, that this has something to do with the difference between the VOBSUB and PGS format...but what I'm not clear on is what, if anything, I can do about it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: How to get soft subtitles from bluray?

Choose a container that supports PGS soft subs, like MKV.

Re: How to get soft subtitles from bluray?

Post by Deleted User 11865 »

You cannot put PGS subtitles in an MP4 container. You can put DVD (.sub/.idx) in MP4, but you cannot import those from a file in HandBrake, you have to merge them to the input MKV file before feeding it to HandBrake.

If you have good SRT subtitles, those are probably your best bet (HandBrake can output VOBSUB in MP4, but very few players support it, whereas SRT files are converted to MPEG-4 Timed Text which usually works in most players). But you must select the correct character set so that it matches the encoding of your SRT file.
