Folks,
I'm having on heck of a time getting the English subtitles to add during the German language sections of the film.
I've tried Foreign Audio/Forced and Foreign Audio/Burned In, but neither seems to work.
The subtitles appear fine in the MKV version.
Thoughts?
Yup - I've been trying to figure this out for years. You do not need SUBTITLES for the non-english parts in The Longest Day. They are actually burned into the film as it's being played. I finally figured out that Handbrake is CROPPING them out of the frame on screen. To fix this all you have to do is ... Open the >Picture tab, choose >Cropping >Custom >Then set the >Top and >Bottom to a small number like 0-1-2-3-4. That's it. Rip chapter 3 or 4 as a test. The Subtitles should be in the usual place under the film on screen.
The Bluray version has English subtitles for the German/French subtitles burned in also, but they're inside the picture area, unlike the DVD. And they do not translate ALL of the non-English speech, just the important highlights.
