I’ve been wanting to rip them for some time and now that I have a solution to the ‘subtitle’ issue, I’m all set! It is SO MUCH easier to play a ripped bluray compared to playing the actual disc.
Mkvtoolnix burn in subtitles download#
My overall opinion of bluray discs has been very poor they take forever to start up, occasionally require you to download new firmware on your player, and may force you to view previews, etc. Comments in other posts suggest this ‘may’ have an effect on subtitles, so I’ll give that a shot on my next project. I did see, in MakeMKV, an option … View/Preferences/General - enable ‘Expert’ mode (this enables an ‘Advanced’ tab) On this new ‘Advanced’ tab, there is an option ‘Default Profile’ and the dropdown includes an option for ‘WDTV’. Not going to spend any time on that for now! I don’t care at all (they both look good) but I couldn’t see an option to change it. The only (extremely minor) difference I noticed is that the subtitles are yellow on the original BR disc, while they are ‘teal’-ish on the rip. Opened the mkv file produced by handbrake, and implemented the settings above. Remuxing took just minutes and the result worked as expected - selectable subtitles! I followed your steps - downloaded MKVToolnix, opened MKVMerge GUI. And this list of possible subtitles does reflect exactly the number of subtitles I added in handbrake (I tested by adding all the subtitles on some movies). And this works beautifully for DVDs through WDTV (and BluRays through VLC) … but not for BRs played through WDTV …Įdit to add: When playing a BluRay rip on the WDTV, pressing the ‘subtitle’ button does display a mini-menu in the upper left corner, and pressing it again cycles through the various subtitles that are present in the source - “subtitle: Off” “subtitle 1: English”, etc.
English” and leave ‘forced only’, ‘burn in’, and ‘default’ unchecked.
I add them without any further options / settings - that is, I add (eg) “1. Getting subtitles to work in Handbrake (for DVDs) was a piece of cake - simply ‘add’ them on the Subtitle tab. Note that I need my subtitles to be ‘soft’ (not burned in) for flexibility my girlfriend is deaf and needs them, I prefer to disable them if she’s not watching. The mkv files (from both DVD and BluRay) display subtitles in Video Lan (VLC) by using the Subtitle/Sub Track/(desired subtitle) feature. But I cannot get subtitles to display on Blu Ray rips, even though I’m using the exact same settings on the ‘subtitle’ tab in handbrake for both DVDs and BluRays. I have also been successful in displaying subtitles on DVD rips, using the ‘subtitle’ button on the remote. My WDTV Live box successfully plays DVD and BluRay discs ripped using Handbrake to a USB drive.
