Multicolor subtitle streams problem.

[LeonMcNichol]

*heh* Ok, I read the FAQ the first day I was here and did a search for subtitle in it today. Couldn't find an answer to my problem, though it does seem that subtitles is the most common issue with DVD2SVCD. I also did a search in the forums for "color" and "subtitles". I got a few results, but none where my problem.

My problem is that, when a DVD subtitle has two or more colors, those don't get changed to the color I want. They end up just outlines, with clear faces. Here is an example of my problem:

As you can see, you can still read the "clear" subtitle, it just difficult with a dark background, like that movie.

I know you'll think I'm lazy, but I don't want to go through all my subtitles that were pulled out and do a flood fill and then save them individually. Is there a way to edit the avs or subtitle settings w/o doing it the long way? I was thinking maybe using vobsub to make a sub file and add that to the avs. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks for any help I get. :D

Ok, I am indeed an idiot... I figured it out for the process I wanted. I clicked Edit when dvd2avi is done under Framserver and when it hit that point, I opened up Gordian Knot and used vob sub to create the sub/idx files I wanted with the colors I wanted. Then I saved the avs file in that and opened it in notepad. Then cut and pasted the lines that Gordian Knot added:

LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub.dll")
VobSub("C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents\Rips\VTS_04_0")

To make it look like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\DOCUME~1\default\MYDOCU~1\Exes\DVD2SVCD\SIMPLE~1\SIMPLE~1.DLL")
LoadPlugin("C:\DOCUME~1\default\MYDOCU~1\Exes\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\DOCUME~1\default\MYDOCU~1\Exes\DVD2SVCD\INVERS~1\DONALD~1\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\vobsub.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\DOCUME~1\default\MYDOCU~1\Rips\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
Telecide()
Decimate(5)
VobSub("C:\Documents and Settings\default\My Documents\Rips\VTS_04_0")
SimpleResize(480,480)

I'm not sure about the order here, I don't know if I should have them in a different order, but I figured before resize would make it better.

Oh and I turned off rip subtitles, because there's no reason to need to rip subtitles, since I did it this way.

If this process is bad and there's another way, I would much appreciate it if you would tell me. Thanks again and sorry about the newbie post.
