How do I add a subtitle delay?

[Stampede]

Hi, I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this one. I did a few searches through the forum and didn't find anything. This is my first attempt at following doom9's guide to dvd authoring in ifoedit.

My stream information shows I need a 1001ms delay on my english subtitle stream. Yet when I go into ifoedit to author a dvd the options on the left are grayed out even though I filled in the options on the right by browsing out to all the streams.

How am I supposed to put in the proper delay when the option is grayed out? I'm pretty stumped as to what I'm doing wrong.

Ok I figured out why the options were grayed out. All I had to do was click the stream I added that showed up on the right.

But now I realized it only lets me set a delay for the audio. Where can I find a place to enter the subtitle delay?

Actualy, with my method there can't be a delay for subtitles.

When you demux a subtitle stream with VobEdit, I save the Video Presentation timestamp for each subpicture in the demuxed file.

When you go to re-author it with IfoEdit, it uses this timestamp to identify where it needs to be muxed back.

So since I have the correct presentation time, there can't be a delay for subpicture, or am I wrong ?

Well I burned my backup of Shrek (great movie btw) onto a RW disc to try it. The video and audio matched perfectly. However the subtitles were way ahead of what was being presented. Maybe VobEdit doesn't work so good on this title? I hope that's not it because I kind of like that program because it makes it really easy when I choose to demux all audio and subtitle streams at the same time.

I also ran into a problem that I got 40+ chapters showing up so I don't think copying the celltimes into CCE's ecl file worked out very well.

I really don't know what to do about either of these problems. There's no trial versions of scenarist or dvdmaestro I can try so I really only have ifoedit to work with. Still ifoedit looks like a great program if I can get the subs and chapters working.

afaik vobedit only saves the timestamp in relation to the last/actual vobid, not to the first vobid in the vts.
just select 'split on new vobid'. then reauthor every vobid alone and then use 'join clips', create new ifos with ifoedit and implant the new files with ifoupdate. most reliable way in my eyes...
