Why I have an interest in subtitles.

[Jeff53404]

I think most people associate the use of subs because of a:

1. Hearing loss or impairment,
2. Watching a foreign film or a film in which the spoken language is not your primary language,
3. Film contains regional or national dialects that are difficult to understand. For example, while my language in English, I have great difficulty understanding British or Australian dialects. That also applies to idioms (e.g. catch a bus). I have no doubt that #3 is a universal issue transcending all languages. For example, Spanish spoken in Spain, Mexico, Portugal, etc. presents the same challenges.

There is another situation where I found a need for subtitles. My family was watching an outstanding performance by Hilary Swank in “You’re Not You” where her character develops ALS. As the disease progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult for her friends and my family to understand what she is saying. Time to turn on the subtitles.

I have posted this in the hope that the developers of CloneBD realize that for some users, subtitles are important. Please put this on your to do list and keep up the outstanding work.

I agree, subtitiles are important, and working Menus are very important

They are also useful in watching a movie when someone else is sleeping and for learning languages like Spanish or French.
Subtitles are very useful and important but how do you access subtitles, languages or any other options without working menus?

When I transcode to mkv (using another program), I access the subs through my Blu-ray player. I'll switch to CloneBD the second subs are available.
