For more information on how to use a 3rd party player for these disks refer to this thread on Interact. MC does not support MVC and all such 3D BD disks will play as 2D. Most commercial 3D BD disks use a version of AVC encoding called 'multiview video coding (MVC)'. MC will remember this selection for the next time the BD is played. Unfortunately, many disks are authored with these subtitles in a separate track and in these cases the user will need to select the correct track (normally towards the bottom of the subtitle list).

Forced subtitles are often used for bits of non-native language which audience isn't be expected to understand, in a movie that is otherwise in their native tongue (elven or alien speech, a little Spanish in an English language movie, etc).

We recommend that you use Media Center to decode HD audio because this gives you access to the full power of MC's audio engine, including VideoClock, DSPs, and MC's powerful Volume system. This includes HD audio codecs such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, which MC can read and decompress losslessly. Media Center is capable decoding the full range of audio codecs used on commercial Blu-ray Discs itself, while preserving their full bitrate and audio bit depth. If your disc consists of multiple titles, such as alternative endings, TV episodes, or music videos, you can manage this within Media Center using Particles. If it doesn't find the movie automatically, just fix the Name field in MC and right-click > Get Movie & TV Info. Media Center will automatically look up cover art, descriptions, directors, actors, genres and other metadata for your imported discs and rips using the Automatic Metadata Lookup system.
