I was able to extract movie-only running DVDFabPasskey in the background (driver-level, similar to AnyDVDHD), using Clown_BD. Nothing could decrypt full disc properly without updates. I got those discs on release day and they had newest protections on them (master Key Block, BD+ and BD-J). The free version of DVDFab should by now have all updates necessary to decrypt the Star Wars BDs properly. I've tried MakeMKV from time to time and it hasn't always handled subtitles correctly. And this may be a good time to suggest you try another decrypter. (Except for Episode V and maybe another one, I forget). The Star Wars Blu-rays are another matter, having forced subs embedded in another sub stream. So they're part of the picture and you'll see them regardless. Your copies of LOTR evidently have hardcoded Elvish subtitles (not all releases do, having forced subs instead). Yeah, this subject has been discussed before and you might want to try a search. Not sure what difference the flag in the header makes but it looks like it made no difference I still don't see any forced subtitles for the movie.

In headereditor I set this subtitle to forced I went through all the subtitles and it looks like #8 (for me anyway) is the one to use. I believe the numbering follows what I would see as subtitle selection in VLC. And it also shows less subtitle tracks than what I selected in makemkv. Headereditor - does this not show any current settings? I know the main english subtitle is flagged as default but the headereditor doesn't show any subtitle as the default. I decided to check to see if I can flag the forced title using mkvtoolnix but that then makes things even more confusing I handled the movie the same way I did LOTR and I can't get the forced subtitles to display the same way. Headache free conversionĢ) Star Wars Phantom Menace - this has been extremely confusing. I did nothing special here besides rip the mkvs using makemkv and made sure the forced subs were also checked. In XBMC (using a different XBMC branch) I'm able to see forced subs while subtitles are off. I have decided to go through the process of adding them back but for now I'm dealing with my LOTR and Star Wars bluraysġ) LOTR - using Makemkv I have ripped these movies to mkv.

So I recently realized that a lot of my movies ripped from blurays are missing subs altogether.
