Subrip 1.06 cropping problem

[thxtof]

I was playing with Panic Room DVD and trying to reencode it.

For the 1st time I have problems importing subtitles generated by subrip in Maestro. Looks like no matter what option I pick, It crops the subtitle bmp.

As a result even after playing with the contrast and color property, every time there is a subtitle all the screen becomes blank, with just the piece with subtitles transparent.

Is that a bug in subrip 1.06 or a problem with this DVD ? Why even after unselecting "crop subtitles" the subtitles are still being cropped ?

Your movie is PAL?
Then it's SubRip bug. --> 1.07

it seems to me that u have transparency error in settings. U must have specified opaque background with transparent subs.

Try setting the transparency of background to 0 and that of font to 15.

In subrip make sure that the font color is Blue with White stroke and background Black. Extract the subs, open the son resulting file and use the following header.

-----------------------
st_format 2
Display_Start non_forced
TV_Type PAL
Tape_Type NON_DROP
Pixel_Area (0 575)
Directory
Display_Area (0 0 719 575)
Contrast (0 0 15 15)

# Palette entries:
#
# 00 : RGB(255,255, 0)
# 01 : RGB(131,127, 0)
# 02 : RGB( 8, 0, 0)
#

SP_NUMBER START END FILE_NAME
Color (0 1 0 1)
---------------------------------

if this one does not work change the last line to
Color (0 1 1 0).

It should solve your probs.
