French edition does not contain English subtitles? Thank you.
No, they aren't. They're automatic, but very easy to turn off.More annoying, French subtitles are forced on the English language version. It literally spoils the film if I want to watch it in its original language.
I tried, but have the message that the disk doesn’t allow to turn subtitles off (Oppo UDP-203) while playing.No, they aren't. They're automatic, but very easy to turn off.
A lot of players (like Panasonic) allow you to change the position of the subtitles. So you can keep lowering the position of the subtitles until they actually drop off the screen. So that they are still there but you cannot see them.I tried, but have the message that the disk doesn’t allow to turn subtitles off (Oppo UDP-203) while playing.
And if I try to switch subtitles off through the menu, it doesn’t work.
If there’s a hack, I would be glad if someone could help.

That must be a limitation of your player then, which is odd for an oppo. Your can't turn them off via the disc main menu, but my Panasonic ub820 easily turned them off via the player's subtitle menu during playback.I tried, but have the message that the disk doesn’t allow to turn subtitles off (Oppo UDP-203) while playing.

As far as I know licensing is also something you have to keep in mind. In some territories you cannot just add all the languages as you please. I agree that a proper release should contain the subtitles for the original audio, though.When first DVDs were being released, one of the features that were advertised, was the multilingual ability, with a bunch of audio tracks and dozens of subtitles. Now that discs hold 5-30 times the data, we get 1 subtitle track. It's bullshit.
But I know studios have to pay for those subs, not sure how much, and if they exist for releases around the world, how hard is it to send a sub file and drop it onto the master disc?
Absolutely. Like I know when buying steels some of us are double dipping and don't actually care about the discs. And other times I am getting it for both the steelbook and the movie and well this is one of those times for me. I really wanna get this movie and I am sick of the Uk getting pissed about on A24. Seriously. Does it have an English audio track? Like if it only had a French audio track that would still be bad but at least you could excuse the lack of English subs. Otherwise if it has English audio it should have subs. There is no excuse.Welp. Saw this edition on some random YouTube unboxing in my feed. Immediately went to Amazon.fr and placed an order. Then I found this thread and am seeing it's not English language compatible. Oh well.
I wish I would have snagged a regular release when they were under $10 to swap discs with.
