And while I'm here, I don't know whether you want to include a note on the Gernam/Concorde issue of this https://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/ ... ?fid=14194 but it's not altogether "English Friendly". You can select Ennglish dialogue and suppress German subtitles via the menu, but various location and other details are burned into the film in German with forced English subtitle tranlation.

Are the featurettes that are part of the PiP not available to play separately like the US and Japanese discs?

Which of the following are part of "Play All"? Please use - to separate which are part of the "play all" submenu.

So subtitles are completely forced for the German disc? Impossible to turn off captions or German subtitles when watching it with English audio?

Re: German edition...
Forced Subtitles are those where location detail etc., is burned in to the film in German.

Examples:
Burned in: NEUES SERBIEN, OSTEUROPA
Forced PGS: NEW SERBIA, EASTERN EUROPE

Burned in: SECHS TAGE ZUVOR
Forced PGS: SIX DAYS EARLIER

etc. (Several examples)

So if you choose English audio, you can't toggle between German subtitles and the English captions, and impossible to turn off completely? It must be either with German subtitles of English captions?

[LV426]

If you manually select English dialogue; subtitles = "off", then the ONLY forced subs are those that accompany that burned-in German location (etc) text; not the audio dialogue itself.

Sorry if not clear earlier.
