I used to use Kodi on the Xbox to play videos and it found this track just fine. ![]() It's pretty good about it but not perfect 100% of the time. I don't re-encode so I'm done at this point, but if you re-encode with HandBrake you need to just select that subtitle track and it will burn it right into the output video.Īlternately, rip all the subtitle tracks you want and set the first Handbrake subtitle track to Foreign Audio Search (or whatever it's called, don't have it installed any more) and let Handbrake figure it out. You can then use something like MKVTools to remove the unneeded tracks and/or mark the correct one as the default.
