Easy way of detecting permanent Subs on a DVD ?

Hi !

Everyone knows forced subtitles in movies when there is a foreign language spoken. And with some modification of the avisynth script it is possible to burn them in the mpeg and they show only up when they have to. But sometimes it is difficult to recognize in which subtitle stream these permanent subs are to be found. Now I only want to ask if there is an easy way to recognize them. When there is an extra subtitle stream for forced subs it is easy. But maybe there is a way to find them also, when they are in a normal subtitle stream ? I am looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance ...

Rip the dvd to idx/sub with VobSub, then open them in SubResync and there is column named quot;Forcedquot;. If you'll see there quot;1quot;, then this subtitle item is forced. And no, forced subs ain't in some extra stream, these subs have only FORCED flag.
