Ok. I misunderstood the purpose of that command.

When I look at an mp4 or mkv using something like mediainfo, it shows the subtitle streams and sometimes it says they are forced. Is there a way to extract only subtitle streams that have that flag set?

edit: It looks like what I want to do is extract subtitles based on disposition, but so far I can't see any mention of being able to do that with ffmpeg.
