Not hardcoded; does your player not have an option to turn them off?
ok that’s a relief to hear. My player (MPC classic) does indeed have the option to turn off subtitles, but there are still white subtitles on it even when the subtitles are turned off, like it’s hardcoded. I’ve never had this issue with any other files. If I turn them on, then my normal subtitle setting appear on top of the white subtitles.
I’ll just need to try some other players.
Edit- When I tried it in VLC there were no subtitles, so the problem is definitely on my end. Sorry for not checking before raising the issue. It’s totally fine now.
Anyway I’ll just take this opportunity to thank you again for creating such a fantastic edit. I know you’ve heard this hundreds if not thousands of times, but it is definitely my “Go To” version of the movie 😃 … it’s fun to make prequel haters watch this version and then hear them say they enjoyed it.
