Hey guys,

I found it a little frustrating as to why I couldn't get these movies re-authored with the forced streams enabled by default. I understand it's easy to set up in DVD Shrink but by removing certain streams it plays with the mapping of the streams on the disc.

In searching for an answer to this problem, I found a few people had the same issues. After playing around and thinking logically, the following should assist you guys in achieving the desired results.


USE:
DVD Shrink v3.2.015

STEP 1:

SETTINGS:
Preferences - DVD9 Selected, Tick bottom two check boxes
Preview - Enable Video & Audio, Stereo, System Default
Output Files - Having EVERYTHING ticked (Bottom Especially)
Steam Selections - All Languages, AC3 or LPCM, Disable All Except Forced
File I/O - Nothing ticked

STEP 2:

All subtitles should be deselected apart from the English Forced stream which is number '7' (Australian). You can leave all audio streams for this stage.

STEP 3:

Rip movie into a folder on your hard drive so you have a full backup in perfect 100%. Once completed close any open discs.

STEP 4:

In settings, change the DVD output from DVD9 back to DVD5

STEP 5:

Instead of open disc, open files and point to the directory you just ripped the perfect backup to. This will process the files again and when complete, you will notice that the forced subtitle stream is by itself and now in position '1' instead of '7'.

STEP 6:

From here I went to RE-AUTHOR and from the available titles I set my DVD to house Title 10 (THX Intro) followed by Title 1 (Main Movie). So drag titles 10 and then 1 across to the left hand side which is going to be your new DVD.

STEP 7:

In this step I remove the Director's Comments audio stream from Title 1 in order to get a little more quality. You do this from the Compression Settings tab in the right hand window.

STEP 8:

Right click on Title 10 and set your default streams. On Title 10 you will have one option which is 5.1 sound. It is not required to set a default audio stream for this title as it only houses the one audio stream. For Title 1 (Main Movie) set your subtitles to point to stream 1 (English Forced) and set your audio to either 5.1 or 2ch Stereo.

STEP 9:

Once satisfied with your title sequence then 'Back-Up' that 'Re-Authored' DVD to a folder on your computer. (This will mean you have two back-ups, one of the original, and this new one you have created.) You can now delete the original backup if you need to free up space, but yeah just burn your newly authored DVD through your burning software.


I hope this has helped anyone in need because I too was rattled and had no idea what to do. I actually came here to find help myself and when I couldn't find any answers I took it apon myself to figure it out. When it worked I thought I may aswell share the solution. So here it is and yeah edit the audio streams to your likings!!

I have a problem with this as there is no number 7. Im trying to rip Phantom Menace, im assuming this guide was used with sw2? I'm using a retail Region 1 copy of it there is no number 7 in my subtitles section I only have 1.Unspecified 0.10mb
1.English-Normal Captions 10mb
2.English 2mb
3.French 2mb
4.English 4mb
All my settings are exact way you said to put them and as per the option
Quote:
Disable All Except Forced
it deselects all of the above subtitles not sure if that helps but thought id throw it in. Becuase of this the rest of the guide cant really be followed as I dont know which is the forced etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated tho !

Region 4 - Phantom Menace Subpictures

1. English - Normal Captions (9mb)
2. Danish (9mb)
3. Finnish (8mb)
4. Norwegian (9mb)
5. Swedish (8mb)
6. English (Director's Comment) (2mb)
7. English - Forced (1mb)

Region 4 - Attack Of The Clones Subpictures

1. English - Normal Captions (9mb)
2. Danish (7mb)
3. Finnish (7mb)
4. Norwegian (7mb)
5. Swedish (6mb)
6. English (Director's Comment) (19mb)
7. English (Director's Comment) (3mb)
8. English - Forced (1mb)


Generally, I have noticed (Region 4 anyway) that the forced streams are placed at the bottom so if that's the case, im guessing it could be your 4. English (4mb) stream. However, I still wonder as to why it deselects all of your subpicture streams when you have the Disable All Except Forced set.

What I recommend is that you run through the tutorial again, but in Step 2, make sure you select ONE of the english streams. Start with the fourth stream by itself and continue the guide. When you have your re-authored backup (not the initial full backup with one subpicture stream), burn it onto a DVD-RW, test it out and see if it works. If not then try your second stream by itself and repeat. Just make sure that remapping is enabled.

I hope this works, would be a helluva lot easier if Region 1 labelled their streams clearly. If this doesn't work I am really not sure what more I can offer. I stumbled across the Region 4 workaround and thought i'd let anyone know who may be having trouble, obviously it's not as easy for other regions.
