help!i have problems in adding subtitle into DVD

[ekway]

i followed this tip Xperience with color new sub and menu (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71217&highlight=Xperience+with+color+new+sub+and+menu),and when done,i tested the movie(D5) with a new subtitle i added,but can't be displayed.i couldn't see any words when selected the 2nd language(the first one can be displayed).perhaps from this step,as the article says:"VIDEO_TS.IFO you dont need it
VIDEO_TS.BUP you dont need it

All these files(except het last 2) I copied to a new dvddirectory FNNEW/VIDEO_TS,Because I want to hold the menustructure I also copied to that directory: !!!(my question:"I also copied to..."means the new files in the fn_org directory contain VTS_01_1.VOB 1.048.574 VTS_01_2.VOB 1.048.574
VTS_01_3.VOB 1.048.574
VTS_01_4.VOB 750.164
VTS_01_1.IFO 98
VTS_01_1.BUP 98??

FN_ORG/VIDEO_TS.IFO
FN_ORG/VIDEO_TS.BUP
FN_ORG/VTS_01.0.VOB 500.498kB (Menus)
FN_ORG/VTS_02.0.VOB intro Pixar etc.(my question:why renamed the file name? )
FN_ORG/VTS_02.1.VOB
FN_ORG/VTS_02_0.IFO
FN_ORG/VTS_03_0.BUP

Open IfoEdit:
select OpenButton: FN_ORG/VTS_1_0.IFO
doubleclick VTS _PGCITI and then select VTS_PGC_1
Mnu Tools->SUbtitle Color -> Copy form this PCG

select openButton: FNNEW/VIDEO_TS/VTS_1_0.IFO
doubleclick VTS _PGCITI and then select VTS_PGC_1
Mnu Tools->SUbtitle Color -> Past into this PCG

my question:if in the fn_org directory's files are the same as in the fnnew's,then "copy from this PGC,past into this PGC" is insignificant,am i right?

(My colors didnot work so i changed them later on manualy:
in VTS_PGC_1:
color 0: 10.80.80
color 1: 10.80.80
color 2: eb.80.80
color 3: d7.80.80
The original subs are now gray with a white outline, my own sub is beatiful white with a black outline)
(see below:update 1 - using remap)

To keep the menu's :
menu->merge menutables : FN_ORG/VTS_1_0.IFO

select the savebutton.
GOTO VTSI_MAT (in the upper window)
set (in the lower window)
number audiostreams in VTSM to 1
number subpictures streams in VTSM to 1

push the savebutton again."

many thanks to all of your answers!!!

Open the main IFO file from your new movie with IfoEdit.
Then in the upper window, you will see: VTS_PGCITI. Dobble clik there, and then one click on: VTS_PGC_1.
In the lower window, you are going to see a lot of information, you can change your subtitles colors there manually.
Look for: Sub-picture stream 1 status (Dobble click there and put the first parameter number) then Sub-picture stream 2 status, dobble click and second parameter and so on, it depends how many subtitle streams you have.
After all, save the IFO file, and play it with the IfoEdit DVD player, you should see all your subs.

may i add your icq as my friend?it's my honour to have a friend like you!!!i icq number is 243169530

[castellanos]

Thanks! I am glad it worked :D
But I am sorry, I don't use ICQ. I apreciate it anyway.

EDIT: One question: Is you DVD back up PAL or NTSC? Because I am not sure if those parameters work on NTSC DVDs.

[ekway]

anyway,thanks a lot!but now there is a new question that in using supremap,i use background-black(transparents),outline-blue,text-white,anti-alias-gray,but in the moive,the color changed to pink outline?why?

[castellanos]

Well, you are using SubRemap... I do not use that. I make my own subtitles on srt format, and I converted to sup with Srt2Sup. I re-mux the whole movie with IfoEdit.
After that, I change the colors manually. You could do the same, the results are great.
To change the colors manually, go to the same place I've told you before (IFO file / VTS_PGC_1) and look for the colors (Inmediatelly after the subtitles parameters).
Here you have a list:



IFO Colors:

Color 0 = Background
Color 1 = Outline
Color 2 = Letters
Color 3 = Anti-alias

White: EB 80 80
Brown: 30 B8 6D
Black: 10 80 80
Green: 50 50 5A
Oliv: 71 89 47
Naval: 1C 76 B8
Púrple: 3D AF A5
Turquese: 5D 47 92
Grey: 7D 80 80
Silver: B4 80 80
Red: 51 EF 5A
Lime: 90 22 35
Yellow: D2 92 10
Blue: 28 6D EF
Fucsia: 6A DD CA
Aqua: A9 10 A5

Remember, you will need only colors 0, 1, 2 and 3.
If you want to have transparent background, put just 00 00 00 in color 0, the rest you can adjust it as you wish.
It is possible, that SubRemap used not colors 0, 1, 2 and 3, but others... you can try to change the others colors and see what happen.
Do not forget to save the IFO file, before to see the changes.
Greetings!

What about your DVD, is PAL ot NTSC?

[ekway]

i'm so sorry i'm late!of course,my dvd is NTSC(30fps?).i'm also sorry about that i have never used supremap,because of my mistake:o :o .i used the str2sup,and the problem was told you before(the outline color was changed into pink that was not blue,and i set the blue color as my outline color)?:confused: :confused: thanks in advanced!;) ;)
