General VLC media player Troubleshooting • Double subtitles when Converting



I have a DVD of a film that I want to convert to MP4. The DVD is in French and has both French and English subtitles. I can convert it without subtitles fine but if I include Subtitles in the conversion (from the Profiles settings tab), all I can do is turn Subtitles on in which case I get both the French and English subtitle tracks overlaid on each other. There is no option in the Profile tab to choose a particular language. I also tried various combinations of the Open Media > Disc > Audio & Subtitles > Subtitle track spin box but this had no effect.
If I just play the DVD from VLC then the main menu Subtitle lists the French and English subtitles and I can select and show just the one I want.

Is there a way to select a specific language track in Convert as there is in Playback?
