Hello,
I wanted to know what sub forced (forced subtitles) means
because when I see that, the subtitles in question are generally not present.
So there you go
and if they are not there, how to add them to a DVD? With which software
thank you all

Hello, I found an answer that I am retranscribing for you below.

Definition of subforced (or hardcoded):
It is a tag that is found on movies on the internet that indicates that the movie contains subtitles in the video for foreign language passages.

A tag is a descriptive element of a movie on the internet. It helps to categorize it and briefly explain its origin or status.

I would add that it's not quite the same as "hardcoded," which means that the subtitles are embedded in the video (as opposed to a separate srt file, for example), whether they are forced or not.
