More Subtitle Help please.

I have the M2V,AC3 and Subtrack.Once i author them with ifoedit how would i then make it so that subtrack is used as a forced sub.?

So the subs are of but when someone speaks in another language the subs come up.

What if i authored,then used Ifo Update ? would that work

Normally subs only come up when someone speaks??? You just need to set the start/stop point for each sub to be displayed when the person speaks.

I THINK you're asking how to make/use a sub script so that when the characters are speaking english there are no subs, but then they speak another language (eg. german) subs appear.

Again, that's all about the start/stop point for each sub. If you ripped the subs from a DVD and they don't do this already, you ripped the wrong stream. Ie. you ripped the english language subs (sort of like CC) vs. the subs that were supporting the movie.

Traffic is like this. IIRC the support track on the traffic DVD was actually listed as french for some reason

I don't know for sure, but I do not think you can have that option in IFOEdit. To do so, I would think you just put the subtitles on once the movie plays. That is if the SUBs only have timecodes for the non-English parts (or whatever language).

You can set the subtitle stream to play be default, but I forget how (there was another tread about this, actually I asked this same question:

It took some playing around but I did get it to work. I don't really remember how thou, as since then I've gotten DVD Maestro (Which is much easier to author stuff with )

Yes I am sure you can. I did not think of editing the IFO after it was authoered. I was just thinking of the actual authoering process with IFOEdit.

Like Vejita-sama, it would have to be done after the authoring.
