I don't understand how to edit green subs

[Ewoud]

I read about the copy paste methode to fix green subs after creating new IFO's .... but i can't get it to work...

I did open the original IFO's in IFOedit and perss copy, and again open the new ifo's without closing IFOedit but although i don't get a error, and alaso saving... they stay green.

Can some1 tell me what to select when copying /pasting?
Terms mentioned like VTS_PGCITI in other threads i don't see.

I guess you are referring to Q5 of the Ifoedit Q & A (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18817).

Open the "source" ifo, navigate to VTS_PGCITI in the tree structure in the upper window. It has the entry VTS_PGC_1. Highlight VTS_PGC_1. Now you can copy the subtitle colours. Open your target ifo, navigate to the same entry and hit paste.

You can scroll down in the lower window to see the actual colour entries (you can edit them manually as well).

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I don't know what i am doing wrong but i can't get it to work.
I open IFOedit and in the leftcorner i press openbutton to open one of the two available IFO's for my movie, the originals (btw i once already altered them by DVDFab, create videomanager)
When i doubleclick on the first lines in the treeview (VMGM_MAT, it extends with: "First Play PGC" I guess this is were to copy the values, so i do so in the Subtitle menu. I open the new IFO's and paste the value.. In the left corner i press save to save the new IFO's with new value.. They stay green when testing again in PowerDVD.

I dont know eeither how to enter nwe values in the hexcoding manually...its not that i am stupid, but i have no experience in hexediting and when doubleclicking this ediitor comes also up with different editable values to select/ deselect.

I hope u can help me fix this, because i finally got this movie into bright quality with IC8 but now the subs are messed up,... isnt there a way to correct this another way , with a program, just by slecting colors?

thanks...:)

Actually you are in the wrong section.

Open the ORIGINAL IFO file. Click on the VTS_PGCITI section. This will give you a + that you can click to open up the tree. Click on the VTS_PGC_* that you want (probably 1). Then click on the Subtitle Color and copy.

Next open the new IFO file and navigate to the same section. click on Paste under the Subtitle Color.

(Of course this assumes that DVDFab did not remove the color codes from the source IFO you are using)

Let me know.

I found the VTS_PGCITI section. I couldn't find it first because i had the first IFO opened, the main VTS. So i opened the next IFO to check for values. I made a backup of the IFO's before editing at all, allthough i didn't know this was going to happen to the subs, so i was lucky at this point i save them. And even they were once edited by DVDfab, the values aplied fine into the IFO's. They have their whites back now :) So DVDfab is not removing such info. I could tell that, because the movie was playing with correct subs after i used DVDfab, so the greens were from IFOedits work.

Wel, now i only have to extract the files loaded in the InstantDRive of IC8... wich appears to be not so easy :s I got a strange filessystem error by Windows when copying from this virtual drive to HDD. Maybe i should try REcordNOw Max to extract. Anyway, it'll work out, just like this subissue. Only its getting light outside the night almost ;) But the quality is really great by IC8, allthoug i had to compress Lord of the Rings 2, to more then 40% to fit.
You can't tell the difference.

Thanks for helping, ciao.
