Hi,
When using DVD2DVD, Scenarist v2.7 only creates an output with one subtitle stream available (despite several being selected in DVD2SVCD). I have recreated this anomaly several times with different material. I don't know if this is the same for everyone, since I haven't had a response in my other thread. I hope this information is useful to someone, since I haven't seen it elsewhere on the forum.
After a week of experimentation, I have come up with this:
Thankfully, subtitle streams are correctable by:
1. Reload the project .scn file in scenarist and go to the scenario editor tab.
2. Click on the title 1 folder and changing the "sub-picture availability flag policy" to custom.
3. Then you can enable/disable each stream.
4. Then click the black PGC box, and in the property browser window scroll down and double click "Subpicture attributes".
5. It is then possible to edit each attribute number and assign the appropriate stream number (it is definitely worthwile checking these are mapped properly i.e. 0 to 0, 1 to 1 etc - for both letter & wide, since by default they are sometimes cross linked).
6. From the tools menu, select multiplex all. This may take a while if your files have not been previously multiplexed.
7. Then go to the layout editor tab and tick the create dvd-video tab (I untick the create disk image tab since I don't need it), and click start. It then creates the files ready for burning.
Enabling Forced Subtitles:
After doing the above (only steps 1 to 5), double click on the small white pre box to the left of the black pbc box. The simulation window will then open.
1. Untick the nocommand box and from the "no operation" drop down list, select set angle/audio/subpicture.
2. Untick angle & audio (unless you want to force either of these).
3. Make sure display subpicture is ticked.
4. Select the subpicture stream that you want to force in the "set subpicture stream id" box.
5. In the command list, make sure there is a setSTN subpicture=x:ON command (where x is the stream you want to force).
6. Close the simulation window.
7. The Pre box has now turned yellow to indicate a pre-command is present.
8. From the tools menu, select multiplex all. This may take a while if your files have not been previously multiplexed.
9. Then go to the layout editor tab and tick the create dvd-video tab (I untick the create disk image tab since I don't want it), and click start. It then creates the files ready for burning.
@D2S:
A small request/suggestion: It would be useful, if you could add an option in DVD2DVD to terminate after creating the scenarist script file. If enabled, this would prevent scenarist from creating an image with subtitle anomalies. The user could then import the created script file themselves.

Bob.
