I have a problem with the color of the subtitles when using
the big 3 on a certain movie. I have tried many combinations of altering
the Reauthorist.scp file but to no avail. Since I can't post an attachment of one of the subtitles, I'll have to describe it.
The original bmp from vobsub has a blue (0 0 255) bar on top, a red (255 0 0) background below that, a white border around the characters (255 255 255) and a black fill inside that (0 0 0). First off, after searching not just Doom9 but even Google, I'd really appreciate someone explaining to me the associations of the above color positions with E2, E1, Pa and Bg.
Played from the original DVD, this has white filled letters with a black antialiasing border around it. The .sst file for the above bitmaps has the following two lines for colors
Color (4 15 3 3)
Contrast (15 0 0 15)
while before that it states
st_format 2
Display_Start non_forced
TV_Type PAL
Tape_Type NON_DROP
Pixel_Area (0 573)
Directory E:\BLADE_II_DISC_1\VTS07\subs\VTS_07_VSUB_P1A1-00
Subtitle VTS_07_VSUB_P1A1-00-Greek
Display_Area (0 2 719 574)
Contrast (15 15 15 0)
Using this directly with Reauthorist and Scenarist, produces this script

which produces subtitles with a red fill and a white antialiasing border. I can see that the Color (4 15 3 3) is probably wrong, but after correcting that and trying numerous combinations with the color conversion parameters, I can't get the subtitles that I want. Add to the equation the 20~30 mins of remuxing it takes to test it combination and you can probably understand my frustration.
Could someone please tell me exactly what changes I have to make to the scenarist script in order to produce white subs with a black or grey antialias? And while you're at it, explain the connection between E2, E1, PA & Bg and the original subtitle colors?
