I get the same problem as some of the others on here regarding
DVDFab Platinum's subtitles showing by default when they shouldn't. As an example:
In DVDFab Platinum 4.1.0.2 I'll rip and burn a DVD (in either Main Movie or Customize mode) and ensure that any subtitles selected are not on by default -- i.e., no little green arrow. When playing on my Toshiba standalone player the first subtitle will always display by default.
I burn the same DVD with
DVDShrink, select the same subtitles and ensure they are off by default (right-click the main movie title and specify in "Set Default Streams" to hide the subpicture), then no subtitle displays by default on my Toshiba.
Currently I have DVDFab set to select only one language of subtitles (English) by default so I'll try the suggestion of changing that, and I'll also try the other suggestion of checking my Toshiba's default subtitle display settings. But regardless of this, it seems that DVDShrink is doing something to tweak the DVD's subpicture default to 'off' which DVDFab is not.
