We see posts from time to time about VCC and Subtitles.

These posts either complain that VCC Includes the Subtitles in a conversion or that it Excludes them…

As far as Subtitles and VCC, they are only found in DVD Movies…   You cannot have them in a Video File! If you have a video file with them, they are considered Hard subtitles and cannot be removed. If you want more info, Wikipedia is your friend: Wiki

For testing, I have created a very short DVD Movie sample with 2 (Eng & FR) subtitles in it. You can download it from this location: HERE
 Download and Extract 1.jpg   148.47K   3 downloads
Use a Save or Save AS but note the location where you put it

After Downloading, Open the ZIP file:
 Download and Extract 2.jpg   82.85K   0 downloads

Right Click on the SubTitle.zip and choose Extract All
 Download and Extract 3.jpg   76.57K   1 downloads

Select a destination for the files:
 Download and Extract 4.jpg   117.12K   0 downloads

You can use CinePlayer to test out the ‘DVD’… Browse Movie Folder and point it to the VIDEO_TS folder you extracted:
 Play 1.jpg   137.76K   0 downloads

Right Click anywhere  in the movie field. If NO Subtitles exist the Subtitle selection will be grayed out:
 Play 2.jpg   106.21K   0 downloads

However this one has both an English & French Subtitle:
 Play 4.jpg   163K   0 downloads
 Play 3.jpg   149.81K   0 downloads

VCC and Subtitles:
Load the sample movie into VCC by pointing it to the VIDEO_TS folder of the movie and select Movie 1:
 VCC 1.jpg   124.04K   0 downloads

Click on Options ~ General to see what is available:
 VCC 2.jpg   140.33K   0 downloads

Note the English and French subtitles listed (the ‘Unspecified’ is the Audio)

If you want to make a DVD without any Subtitles, clear the checkmarks by English & French:
 VCC 3.jpg   109.2K   0 downloads

Or if you want One and not the other or whatever suites you, do it here.

I suggest creating a Folder set from here (use the Copy DVD tab to burn it). Pick and Note the location:
 VCC 4.jpg   126.04K   0 downloads

You can test the results with CinePlayer or burn to a DVD

But when it is all said and done, use valid files and it works as expected
