Turning Subtitles (On/Off) by Default Guide - Page 2

XCPU · 13th May 2003, 08:19

Forgive my POOOOOR English,2cool.....

My original DVD has no existing subtitle indeed and I got a subtitle for the movie, I rip to my HD and demux them into m2v and ac3 files and then I use "Author new dvd" funtion in IFOedit to remux the m2v/ac3/sup files. And then I got lots of VOB files and IFO and BUP etc.Now if I run POWERDVD and choose "play dvd from HD", it can play my new movie with subtitle, but the menu is gone.

What I want is to keep my original menu and add a new subtitle into my DVD and this new subtitle can control by remote is enought!

Forgive my POOOOOOOR English again...hope you can understand what I want.....

Thank you very much, 2COOL!

Taken from the first paragraph of this guide, DVD Authoring in IfoEdit...

"If you're only using your favorite DVD authoring program to create 1 video movies without menus IfoEdit is perfect for you."

...IFOedit 0.95 will not let you keep the original menu and it also works on only making one Title Set, which is your movie.

You would have to go about a harder way like using Scenarist to reauthor. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here or if there is another way, as I don't use Scenarist. From what I've read, the learning curve on Scenarist is pretty steep and knowing you're still being a newbie to the scene...

XCPU · 13th May 2003, 11:19

In fact, I am really a newbie and SCENARIST is like a huge nightmare to me. I just want to backup my DVD with my own subtitle and keep down the beautiful menu.As you know,many DVDs have lots of beautiful menu and I don't think I can make it myself. but if I add new subtitle into DVD, one way is the menu gone, the other way is my subtitle gone. I am trying to make a "perfect" DVD to me and.....my girl friend. That's all.

sorry but i'm don't understand

what does mean "Break" commands
can you show/write me any for example?

mpucoder · 5th June 2003, 14:06

If you had any, IfoEdit would show them. The command means the same as it does in C, that is break out of the current construct. In the case of pre commands, that means stop executing them, and start the movie.

This is my PGC CT:

Quote:

PGC Command Table:
Number of Pre Commands: 39
Number of Post Commands: 1
Number of Cell Commands: 0
Size of Command table in bytes 327

1. Pre Command .............. If GPreg<6> == (cmp-val)<1><' then Goto line# 36
2. Pre Command .............. If GPreg<5> == (cmp-val)<1><' then Goto line# 36
3. Pre Command .............. Set GPreg<3> mov SPreg<preferred sub-picture language>
4. Pre Command .............. If GPreg<3> != (cmp-val)<25459><'cs'> then Goto line# 7
5. ...

Where is the 'Breake commands'?
Have I got any?

A Break command will show up as "Break" - can it be any simpler?

komanch · 5th June 2003, 15:22

OK. Thank you.

Tonio Roffo · 20th July 2003, 17:18

When testing this on some movie backups it works, with others I get the following error:

IfoEdit: There is something wrong! The File position does not match the offset for table ID_VTS_C_ADT

followed with more errors.

Saving the resulting .ifo cripples the playback of DVD in powerDVD, clicking a position on the blue bar doesn't skip to that position anymore. Written to DVD-RW, I get "error" on my dvd player

Any ideas here?

Hi 2COOL I just read through this and found the above.
That doesn't seem correct - to me it should say NOP

2COOL · 15th September 2003, 12:40

@maa

You're absolutely right! Minor adjustment. I wondered how long it's been like that? Oh well...

... but,thanks for the spot!

What did you mean "audio follow"? Some setting in IFO?

This is in your standalone DVD player's setup.

nt_1973_au · 14th February 2004, 03:22

hey,

i just wanted to know what software do you use to turn the subtitles on/off? i've been using dvd decrypter and then dvd2one and have found that on some movies, that the subtitles(for parts where the dialogue is not english) are by default on, and on others they are off. Not really surewhy this is. maybe someone can clarify why this is?

2COOL · 14th February 2004, 03:25

Welcome to the Forum!

@nt_1973_au

If you are referring to the guide, you'll be using IfoEdit. Sorry if I didn't state it clearly.

vincent777 · 20th February 2004, 02:46

I have found that setting the value of "be" works on PC players and some stand alone DVD players but I have a cyberhome player which displays the first subtitle stream if "be" is set.

I havn't had this problem with original comercial DVDs and I think it must because these DVDs use "80" instead of "be".

This might just be non-standard interpretation by one DVD player but I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems using "be".

nt_1973_au · 20th February 2004, 12:42

hey,

i have tried turning the subs on by default using the procedure described here, but have been unable to get it to work. has this procedure worked for others?

nt.

maa · 20th February 2004, 16:53

I have a feeling that this only works if your standalone has been cionfigured to show subs automatically....

2COOL · 20th February 2004, 19:26

Well, I do have this in the guide.

2/27/2003 Update: You must also set your default subtitle language on your standalone DVD Player.
