I am trying to rip a movie with RipBot which is primarily in English, but has the occasional Japanese line.
I would like subtitles to show up only when Japanese is being spoken.
I am able to get the movie to have no subtitles, or English subtitles throughout, but I haven't
figured out how to get them only for the part where Japanese is being spoken.
If anybody has any advice, please let me know. Thanks for your help!

Hmm, many movies do that by default (show English subs for the foreign language parts) but obviously yours isn't doing that. Hmm, I can't think of any easy options off hand, but here's an idea to look in to...
My idea is to edit the subtitle file with notepad (or a similar text editor) and take out all the subtitles except for the ones at the timestamps that you need. This means you'd have to go through the movie and right down the position time (like 01:47:37 or something like that) where each subtitle you want pops up. Then, delete all the other ones.
Is the source subtitle in the .sup format (common on Blu Ray movies) or is it the .idx/.sub pair (common on DVDs and XVID files) or perhaps the .srt text based format? If you have a .sup file, use BDSup2Sub to convert them to the .idx/.sub format pair and open the .idx file in notepad. If it already is in the .idx/.sub format, then you're one step ahead. If it's .srt, I think you can also just open up the .srt file in notepad. You should have a long list of stuff like this in a .idx file:
Code:# English id: en, index: 0 # Decomment next line to activate alternative name in DirectVobSub / Windows Media Player 6.x # alt: English # Vob/Cell ID: 1, 1 (PTS: 0) timestamp: 00:00:48:799, filepos: 000000000 timestamp: 00:00:57:140, filepos: 000001000 timestamp: 00:00:58:100, filepos: 000001800 timestamp: 00:01:00:477, filepos: 000002800 timestamp: 00:01:03:689, filepos: 000003800 timestamp: 00:01:12:656, filepos: 000004000 timestamp: 00:01:19:162, filepos: 000004800 timestamp: 00:01:23:166, filepos: 000005000 timestamp: 00:01:48:692, filepos: 000006000 timestamp: 00:01:51:194, filepos: 000007000 timestamp: 00:01:57:492, filepos: 000007800 timestamp: 00:02:21:183, filepos: 000008800 timestamp: 00:02:23:727, filepos: 000009800 timestamp: 00:02:26:855, filepos: 00000a800 timestamp: 00:02:31:360, filepos: 00000b800 timestamp: 00:02:37:491, filepos: 00000c800 timestamp: 00:02:43:455, filepos: 00000e000 timestamp: 00:02:45:332, filepos: 00000f000 timestamp: 00:03:30:043, filepos: 00000f800 timestamp: 00:03:32:421, filepos: 000010000 timestamp: 00:03:34:172, filepos: 000010800 timestamp: 00:03:35:590, filepos: 000011000 timestamp: 00:03:46:184, filepos: 000011800 timestamp: 00:03:52:232, filepos: 000014000 timestamp: 00:03:56:403, filepos: 000015800 timestamp: 00:04:02:617, filepos: 000016800 timestamp: 00:04:03:827, filepos: 000017800 timestamp: 00:04:06:913, filepos: 000019000 timestamp: 00:04:09:666, filepos: 00001a800

xx, filepos
xxxxxxxx" that you want, then it should just play those ones if you save the .idx file and mux that in to the movie file (I personally recommend the .mkv file container and mkvmerge GUI, but I know opinions vary there.) I have never tried to do this kind of thing, though, so it might not work, it's just a path to go down if you're looking for ideas.
Anyone else have any experience with this kind of thing?
