Forced Subs

I'm going to have to re-do Star Wars episodes 1 and 2, because I didn't know how to do the forced subs properly when I did them the first time. I also didn't really know how to use Ripbot264. They were among the first movies that I backed up.

That said, I'm still annoyed.

To help, I found this (clearly incomplete), online spreadsheet linked off TheGreenButton, that is a list of movies that contain forced English subtitles. Some even have notes with regards to what manner they are 'forced' in the movie. (seperate track, forced tag, embeded in video, etc..)

Admittedly, its not a perfect list, but it has some of the more popular recent titles and seems to be relativly actively maintained, at least as far as is indicated on the TheGreenButton. (It is apparently open for public editing as well)

Slow Weekend

This weekend had a lot of distractions related to a 4 year old and her new bicycle. So nothing really excited happened on the Convertin' front.

I have decided, however, that it would be worthwhile for someone to make it a lot easier to determine if there are forced (english) subtitles in movies. I've been looking back at some of my old conversions, and noticing missing subtitles that it just didn't occur to me would be there.

Movies like, Iron Man, Star Wars Ep 2, maybe episode 1 and 3 too, have been played again recently through my Media Center only to note the missing subtitles. I shall have to ponder the best way to deal with this.
