It should only be constant if you select subtitles through the disc menu.

By the way, you can use your dvd player's remote control to cycle through the various subtitle options (or turn them off).

ok I checked preserve menus in the pic below what do i need to check/uncheck? leave it as is? check all the subtitles?
languages? sorry for dumb question, i have made 5 coasters today as is with this LOL so i want to get it right so i can remember to do it next time!!

Check "English"--both under audio languages and subtitle languages.

You don't need the French audio stream by the way--unless you want it.

If you are making coasters then you simply need to stop what you are doing and think for a minute. Rip to your HDD when testing. Playback the DVD from your HDD and see the results. Once you are satisfied with the results then and only then do you burn to a blank DVD.

by coasters i was meaning i was not getting the subtitles i wanted on disk, so i called them coasters cause i was trying to find the right mixture of things...not really dead disk coasters...bad choice of word i guess.

OK

i checked audio English, subtitle English, and audio stream English. also checked preserve menus.

still a no go. the movie is a perfect copy, English people are speaking English, french are speaking french, BUT i still have no English subtitles when french people are speaking french like on the original disk.

any other ideas?

Hmmm . . .

In your screenshot, under subtitles on the left there's three subtitles listed. Two of them are French. Try checking all three: English, French, and French. I've got a feeling that second French entry is improperly labelled and that it's the one you need.

Also, what Drinklyeanddie is saying is to rip your output to your hard drive (select "dvd files" on Clonedvd's output screen), and then select the "video_ts.ifo" that your ripped as the source file for playback.

If that plays fine, then go ahead and burn.

That's saves you from wasting blank media.

If you use PowerDVD, TotalMedia Theatre or WinDVD you can simply select the VIDEO_TS.IFO file and open it with the player. Windows Media Player is a pain for this, IMHO. Open WMP and from the top toolbar select File, Open, navigate to the VIDEO_TS folder for the ripped DVD on your HDD, select and highlight the VIDEO_TS.IFO file, and then click Open. Playback will begin.
