Set audio/subpicture stream is 0?

[linx05]

I have just ripped The Departed (Region 1) to my computer with AnyDVD (6.1.3.0). After putting it through PgcEdit (8.1 b2) I did these things to it:

- Deleted Uncalled PGCs
- Removed LU menus
- Blanked all the crap at the start and jumped to the menu automatically using this guide (http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/blutach/How_to_use_PgcEdit_new_macro.htm).
- Ran the disc through FixVTS with all three options enabled.
- Rebuilt Timemaps
- Removed Parental Management.
- Disabled the other language buttons in the language menu since it was no use having them there as they won't be there on the final disc

My Virtual Player is set up properly, well I hope it is. I looked through the DVD and came across this in RootM:

I'm no pro at reading this but shouldn't the Set Audio and Sub-pic be set to the number corresponding to the audio and sub-pic on the DVD?

I've read how some jump to menu features can create a bit of a problem if the language and audio is not set properly.

Did I do the jump to PGC properly?

EDIT: I found out my audio was 0. But in the domain attributes it is not automatically 'EN' in the menus unlike the movie. But one question still, what does 'off' mean at the end of (SetSTN)?

It means it set the 1st subic stream (stream 0), but set it off.

It looks just fine.

I agree. Remember that the streams are "zero based". The first stream in the list is therefore stream 0.
Setting a subpic stream to off means that it is pre-selected, but not enabled. Only the "forced subpics" (if any) will be displayed in this mode.

If you are not happy with the selection, you can do 3 things:

Edit manually the SetSTN command to change the stream numbers (and the "off" flag to "on" if you wish.)
Remove completely the SetSTN command. If no SetSTN commands are executed before the main movie is reached, the player should automatically select the right streams, based on your preferences.
When you use the trace mode before launching the Jump to PGC function, you can trace to your Audio and Subpic menus to select the right streams, and then continue to trace up to the target PGC. This way, the correct SetSTN command will be automatically inserted by PgcEdit.

Thanks for the reply. I will leave it as it is if there is nothing wrong with it. I will keep the third option in mind for the next time I do a DVD. That means I will have to (in Trace mode) go to the audio and language set up menus, select the ones I want and then back out to the main menu where I want it to start?

Yes. That's the idea.
