If you search around the web you can usually find information on which track # contains the correct subtitles which saves the hassle of having to do trial and error. I suggested on the MakeMKV forum that the track # should at least be listed next to each subtitle track. The downside is that it is not clear which forced subtitle should be grabbed, so you need to do a little trial and error to figure out. As you can see from the screenshot below forced subtitles are detected which is great. I decided to test out District 9 again using the latest MakeMKV release. With the inclusion of forced subtitle support with MakeMKV, you can now do everything right from MakeMKV. I ended up having to use a few different tools to get the forced subs, which although not difficult added more steps to the process.
#Makemkv key april 2015 movie
Although I was enjoying the movie about half way through I was getting a little frustrated since I couldn’t understand what the Aliens were saying, I just assumed they were speaking with a heavy South African accent! It turned out District 9 has forced subs and they are not burned in. I had used MakeMKV version 1.4.10 to rip the Blu Ray disc to mkv and turned on my PCH C-200 to watch. The primary language is English, however there are scenes where the Aliens speak and subs are required to understand what they are saying. This actually happened to me with District 9. If the forced subs are not burned in, you need to grab the forced subs while ripping the disc, otherwise you will be left scratching your head when watching the movie. To add to the confusion, some movies have these forced subs burned in (so the forced subs are actually part of the video file itself), where other movies don’t. For these scenes subtitles will appear which are considered forced subtitles. The best way to describe forced subs is when you are watching a movie that is primarily in one language, but there are a few scenes where a different language is spoken.

Yesterday, version 1.4.12 was released, and one key new feature that was added was the ability of MakeMKV to detect and save forced subs.

It has been freeware, with the expectation that at some point it would move to a paid model.
#Makemkv key april 2015 software
For those who don’t know, MakeMKV is a great little program that will decrypt your DVD (no additional software such as AnyDVD is required), allow you to pick and choose what parts of the DVD you want to keep, and put into an mkv. About a month ago MakeMKV released version 1.4.10 which finally brought HD audio into the mix.
