I know audio tracks are blanked not removed, but it seems subtitles are removed completely.

I'm working with Cars 2 and found that with subtitles removed, it messes up the disc.

For example in the Toy Story short, 'No Subtitles' set in the menu actually sets the subtitle track to #4 (Forced English subtitles for Spanish dialog).
The problem is once you've stripped non-English tracks, there IS no track #4 so it defaults to track 1 instead.

In the main movie something similar happens. There are many more subtitles but down near the bottom are subs for two foreign language lines of dialog.
As a result, English SDH will always turn on when you start the movie, even if you explicitly set the subtitles off in the menu.

I think this is a case where keeping all subtitle tracks is just necessary to let the disc work properly.
I wish there was a way to blank subtitle tracks instead of stripping them.
