[Media files] Better Parsing: MKV Header 'Default Track' flag and 'Forced Display' flag unrecognized

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issue #1
>What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. MEncoder subtitle language priority: [none]
2. Play mkv with multiple subtitle tracks, one subtitle track has 'default
track' flag set true.

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see 'default' subs, instead see no subs.

Issue #2
>What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. MEncoder subtitle language priority: [none]
2. Play mkv with multiple subtitle tracks, one subtitle track has 'forced
disply' flag set true.

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see 'forced' subs, instead see no subs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v1.10.51, 

If you are transcoding a media file, which engine are you using (mencoder,
avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer?)
MEncoder

n.b.  if mkv file has no subtitles set as 'default track' = true, then
subtitles should default to off.

Unfortunately ffmpeg doesn't retrieve this kind of information, so until ps3ms 
switch 
to another parser (mediainfo?), you're out of luck

Check the forum. I implemented patch which can read tag of subtitles(thanks to 
new 
ffmpeg builds) so when it is tagged as "forced" it will load automatically.
Also it will display this info in transcode folder so you can see what subtitle 
track is it.
Better something than nothing:-)
