Why so many groups/people rip the movies without ripping the subtitles? :( That make very complicated to us, non-native English speakers, to get/watch/understand some movies. Personally I need at least English subtitles for a good deal of movies. Yeah, I've been trying to improve my listening/writing but I'm not ok yet (as you all have seen in my posts :mrgreen: ) I understand that English is the main language from most of the movies, and I'm sorry to not kn ow english well enough to not need subtitles, shame on me :(

Why not rip the subtitles? Many titles do not have them (nor a hearing impaired subtitles?) or is just a option of the ripper?

Many of my own DVDs are Dutch releases, and they only come with Dutch subs, so I wouldn't be able to rip English subs. I'm sure this is the case more often with other people.

Luckily, there are many sites where you can download subs in your native language.

A lot of horror movies come on DVDs released by smaller distributors, and that often means no subs.

The major Hollywood movies usually have them, but they probably only account for a fraction of the movies posted in this forum.

So no subs generally mean that none were available to rip, unfortunately. :?

I never understood that, whenever I buy an import dvd (read: from the us or uk), they hardly ever have english subs. Not that I need em, but it makes me wonder if they aren't any hearing impaired folks over there :mrgreen:

it usually looks better to download the subs and then add them on. Hard coded subs can be annoying if you want to take a screen shot or something.

In Hungary and Austria there is hardly ever any subtitle included on the DVD except for the Hungarian or German dub.
