SubtitleCreator and Windows 7(64 bit)

[broxburn]

Does anyone know if it works properly in W7?
I load a .sup file - they are now a colourfull mess - then import the IFO for the existing palette - it doesn't change.
Saving them just saves the mess.

Hi!

Did you extract/create the .SUP file from a standard DVD or a Blu-ray (or other HD format)?

[broxburn]

Standard DVDs.
This one is the sup file from Master and Commander.

This is from an XP session.
The palette is imported and selecting a sub shows the new colours ok.

OCR it with subrip then load the srt into subtitlecreator. Really depends on what you;re trying to accomplish. Not everything in SubtitleCreator is perfect.

Hi broxburn,

Could you please PM me a link with the subtitle file and I'll try to have a look.

Ok, I've started to have a look.
You should first open the IFO file (that is holding the color palette), then the SUP file.
Could you please try on XP and 7 and report.
Cheers

With XP it makes no difference whether the palette or SUP is loaded first - the subs on the display pane will be correct, and when saved, they will be correct when played back with the video.

On Win 7 it makes no difference whether the palette or SUP is loaded first the subs are wrong on the display pane, and when saved, are still wrong when played with the video.

I'll test with my Win7 32 bit PC. I'll report if I can reproduce the problem.

Hi,

I tried with Win7 32 bit and it's working fine.
The problem must come for the 64 bit version.
As I can't reproduce it, it's impossible for me to fix it.

Sorry
Manusse

I've carefully looked at your second post. It corresponds to the sup and ifo files you PMed me. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1452094#post1452094)
The result displayed in your post is correct. I checked on my PC with XP SP3, my second PC with Win7 and also with DVDSubedit and I alway get the same result which is the same as the screen copy you've posted in your message.
So what is not working? Please let me know.

Cheers
Manusse

I get around the .sup problem by saving as VOB/IDX (they are still a mess), but I replace the colours in the IDX file with the values derived from an IDX file saved by VOBSub Configure.
The values are generic black/white subs

Thus:

# The palette of the generated file
palette: 0300e3, e83f07, 000000, ffffff, 12ea11, eb12eb, faff1a, 0b5c76, 7c7c7c, e0e0e0, 701f05, 077108, 01006c, cd0be9, d2aa10, 730972

# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: OFF, tridx: 1000, colors: 000000, ffffff, 000000, 000000


Is replaced with:

# The original palette of the DVD
palette: 000000, cbcbcb, 000000, 000000, 000000, d6ec38, 000000, 000000, 000000, cbcbcb, 000000, 000000, 000000, cbcbcb, 000000, 000000

# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: OFF, tridx: 1001, colors: 000000, 000000, cbcbcb, 000000

This software doesn't work properly in windows 7 64bit version.
I also get a crappy sup with very strange colorsettings that will not change at all.
And when i try to make a dvd, the positioning of the subtitle is at the bottom and is not readable at all..
Will try to make it on a windows xp machine and see if that makes any difference..
