Normally, w/ audio,
Selection Behavior: First Matching Selected Language (English, in my case)
use first as template. chosen: eng, fallback: aac ... which most vids are already encoded in.
i'm supposing i'm doing this right, as i want all other audio tracks stripped from the recording, as i'm not bilingual. right?
W/ subtitles, i feel like i'm doing something incorrect w/ this one file. the subtitle for the file is forced (no srt file, but no "burn in"), yet a subtitle file in vlc is selectable, and then there's a english subtitle for translation to english that is burned in (no option here).
with the selection behavior, i've tried several different variations and now i feel like it's time to ask.
what is the correct selection to retain the burned in foreign -> english subtitle selection. (ie. track selection, burn in behavior, y/n add foreign scan)
but also retain the option to enable/disable subtitles ... via VLC in my case. i don't watch media in any other fashion, so compatability isn't my goal here. up until now, i was stripping the sub-titles, chapter markers and only retaining the english tracks, as i don't watch non-english films.
i hope the question is straight-forward enough: to re-state, what is the proper 'selection behavior' for subtitles, when the source has forced (i'm assuming that's the term for a sub-title selection, but no srt file) and also "burn in" translation of foreign to english?
i have to assume this question has been asked before, yet after Googling and searching the forum, i don't get explicit answers on what the choices (ie. forced, burn in ... in ref to selection behavior, default specifically mean)
if the answer is as simple as a url ref, tx ... i will bookmark it.
