How Can I Change DVD Subtitles Colors?

[johner23]

Any program and method to change the colors of my dvd's subtitles?

Thanks.

The easiest way is to use PGCEdit: locate your movie pgc, then double click on it, and edit the color lookup table (the CLUT). You'll have to find which of the 16 colors in the CLUT is used for the main body of your subtitles, probably simply by looking at your subs in a soft player and finding the corresponding color in the clut (or using DVDSubEdit to see which index is actually used).

Hi-

To change the sub colors using PGCEDit:

Open the DVD in PGCEdit. Double-click on the movie in the left screen. You'll know it by its length. In the new screen that opens up you'll see a 4x4 block of colors. This is the CLUT or Color LookUp Table. Normally in the top row you'll see the sub colors. From testing the DVD you'll already know the colors for the outline and the main color. Find them. They're ordinarily the first 2 on the top row, or the 3rd and 4th on the top row. Click on each and change it to whatever color you want. OK your way out of there, save the DVD, test in your player of choice, delete the PGCEdit Backup folder, and you're ready for burning.

The only time this may not work is if there's a color overlap with already existing subs, if, for example, the outline for one set is the same color as the main color of an already existing set of subs. If that's the case, you'll have to redo the subs, this time choosing a different set of primary colors for the subs.

Best regards for all.
