I figured it out and would like to share with everyone.
DVD Ripping software will recognize more “widespread” languages, such as German, Spanish, Japanese. Amharic is an esoteric language that softwares will not recognize right away. We went into the original project and re-authored the Amharic subtitles by naming is “Spanish”. That did the trick! By doing this, we tricked the software to think that Amharic contained Spanish subtitles and I have been able to rip the video with burned-in Amharic subtitles.
