Added sub has the oposite colors, Very unusual so please help!

[SidDan]

I might aswell start a new thread hoping more people will try to help me. what I am facing here can´t be found in other topics around cause this is very strange and not normal.
I know how to add a subtitle and make it to work, done this with 2 movies already but this movie 28 Days Later is very different.

The added sub colors doesn´t match the original sub colors.
I have as like many others downloaded an SRT file then converted it with SRT2SUP to finally author with ifoedit. It doesn´t really matter I think what settings I have in SRT2SUP.
With this movie I have discoverd that:

For original sub:
Color 0 = blank/nothing, guess this must be the background
color 1 = also blank/nothing, I don´t know why
Color 2 = outline
Color 3 = character/letter
color 4 and below have no effect

For the added sub:
Color 0 = blank/nothing
Color 1 = outline
Color 2 = character/letter
Color 3 = anti alias
color 4 and below have no effect

So how much sense does this make?...
When I change the color 2 then the added sub and the original sub will have the total oposite colors.

I was thinking maybe to rip the original subs convert them to srt and then re-start the process totally. Never done this before so I am quite uncertain.

Hi,

I wouldn't call it uncommon to encounter a problem like you described - read http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61883&perpage=20&pagenumber=2 for a similar problem and for the solution (supremap, a postprocessing tool for srt2sup was specifically provided for this situation). This requires the Delphi 6 Runtime (or at least vcl60.bpl), so you might have to get that in case it's not yet on your system.

About the two "blank" entries for your original subs: not all subs have an antialias ... one of the "blank" entries would be for the (transparent) background, the other one for the (absent) antialias.

Steve.

Hi

I have re-written SupRemap and put it in an installer application (it should come with lib now!).

It can now edit the colours in an IFO file and scan VOB files to see what colours they want to use.

The latest version is a4.04 from:
