subtitle types

[Leon.]

Just out of curiosity I've been trying to find out what the chars in parantheses after the language (in DIFU) stands for? Unfortunately one can not search on so small words on this forum

Any way some films say English (F) some say English (WL) etc, anyway how many types are there and what do they mean?

F: Forced subs
W+L: Widescreen and Letterboxed

There might be something on it in the help file ;)

It definately helps when you are creating your scenario by hand and setting the W/L settings for your subs. Otherwise, you might actually have to open the IFO file and check it manually.

:D

many thx influenza. Found it in the help but the help claims F means Fullscreen not Forced tho.

In the help it also says ReAuthorist doesn't understand when there are separate subtitles like English (W) and English (L) it just sets them separate and makes English (WL) and English (WL) wich is not good ;(, anyone knows if there are plans to upgrade ReAuthorist? It is not to hard to edit this in IFOEdit but to not do it at all is easier :)

Oh I thought forced.My mistake then if that's what the helpfile says.

In the case you have seperate streams just only select one and let RA do it's work. Afterwards when using ifoupdate check the copy subpictures option. That should work.

Or do some manual work in scenarist, which is also possible ofcourse.
