My plan was always to rerip all my blurays from mp4s to mkv just because it’s an exact copy, its faster, and subtitles are there. The more I’ve done this, the less the movies plays. When I click play, the movies take forever to start or just error out all together. Are devices that weak or is my…

@roadzy said: I tried he script and the mp4 files is still 25gb! Was the point of the script just put it in a different format or to shrink it in size? You should read the accompanying forum post(s). The script is configurable and you should absolutely adapt it to your particular needs. Also …

The easiest way to get forced subtitles is to use Sub-Zero subtitles and enable it for just forced subtitles. Rip the movie using handbrake to get a small-ish file, and then Sub-Zero will grab only the forced subs. Or, you can download the forced subtitles and use mkvtoolnix to mux them in after y…

@roadzy said: Also how do you get forced subs to work? For instance in Argo, they talk in another language in the one part. If you are watching the dvd/bluray, it shows up as subtitles. I don’t want subtitles on the whole movie though. I’m checking subtitles and force subtitles when ripping in…

You will have to flag them as such… An example of this. Forced, non-english [image] Subtitle for the whole episode [image] You may still need to change Plex settings for it to work. [image]

Also, if you don’t want the file to transcode then you will have to convert the forced subtitle to plain text SubRip, *.srt. As pictured above. That episode has a single line of non-english dialogue, so I converted the IDX/SUB file. No need to transcode the whole file for 1 line of text…

How accurate is Subtitle Edit with OCR of vobsubs? How much correction are you having to do? Shame SRT cannot have onscreen location parameters as VOBSUBS can have placement to avoid covering an important part of a scene etc.
