I would appreciate it when there was an extra option by the 'subtitles' to select if the subtitles are fixed / permanent on screen.
One extra selection 'fixed subs' or so, besides the current selectable languages, would do !

A 'removable' tick box... Yes, I would appreciate this too.

On German DVDs when subtitles are enforced they are only enforced when the original language is selected. When you watch the movie dubbed you can turn off the subtitles. In those cases a simple checkmark would not help.

I think that's exactly the "annoyance" we are talking about. Maybe a checkbox "forced subs for original language" would be more appropriate.

Isn't that a bit long after the checkbox, compared to all the languages there, guess it should be something within 12 letters or so...

...also, I think the use of "fixed subtitles" would somewhat burned in subtitles at the same time

A good solution would be some kind of color-code i think, like

red - burnt-in ( )
orange - forced (thank god that some players can remove these)
blue - or the deaf and hard of hearing
purple - commentary
black - normal


also the color-code use wouldn't take extra space in the layout, only a litte overhaul in edit-dialog

Nice thought.....


if you're not color-blind, that is

No seriously, I like that approach even better than a check-box, and it has the possibility for future expansion (there's more than 5 colors, you know? )

Heard of it, but I'm not sure if I believe these rumors...

Well, upon closer inspection, your color-selection does seem kinda strange.....

It was pretty random... bvut maybe we could use this stuff do to a psycho-test. 


On topic:
Another possibility wound be to just append the attribute of the subtitle, like:

Czech (forced), german (commentary) etc.
