[HELP] Forced subtitles

[Mapsking]

Burning in a subtitle track is easy.

1. Load your source
   
2. Select the subtitle track (Base->Stream Selection->Subtitle)
   
3. Extract the Subtitle track (hit the 'Base->Processing->Subtitle->Extract Subtitle'-button)
   
4. Switch to the Subtitle-Tab and select your extracted subtitle (Subtitle->Import->Subtitle Import->Load external Subtitle)
   
5. Enable 'Subtitle->Import->Embed subtitle in frame' (this is what you call 'burn in' a subtitle track)
   
6. Add the settings for that subtitle track to the Subtitle-Queue (Subtitle->Subtitle Queue->Add)
   

You can also set a subtitle track as 'forced' if you are using .mkv as output container and you enable 'Subtitle->Import->Subtitle Import->Matroska Settings->Set as forced'. Note that whether this works in the end depends on whether the player supports forced subtitle tracks inside an .mkv container or not. (most players don't)

OK, I will try that, thanks!

Maybe I am missing a step.  In this case, I have an external subtitle track, with only the forced audio on it, and when I load the source, of course, the subtitle track box from step #2 is grayed out.
