join episodes - subs wrong

[E-Male]

i tried to join multiple episodes of futurama/simpsons/... to one (like a big movie)

so i ripped the first 3 episodes (each seperatly) with dvd decrypter to test (on the original dvds they are all in one VTS but each is one PGC)
then i joined them with vobedit (http://users.pandora.be/rudy.stremersch/joinclip.html , Joining Clips [first of the 2 guids])
then demuxed the resulting vobs with vobedit
and authored the streams with rejig (copying sub-colors from an original vob)

when i played the resulting ifo in powerdvd everything looked and sounded fine except one thing:
the first episode had the subs of all 3 (mixed), while the other 2 had none
so basicly the subs of ep 2 & 3 are not delayed by 1 or 2 episode(s) (like they should be; and video & audio are)
sorry, i can't explain better, but i think you know what i mean

any ideas what went wrong and how i can do that correctly?

thx

Hi E-Male,

I imagine this is to do with the timecode the subs are synced to. If you imagine when the disc was originally authored, each episode might have come on a seperate tape, so the subtitles for each episode probably started at 10:00:00:00.

This is just a guess, and it may be something else entirely (It could be something else entirely).

You could try a subsripper tool to edit the subtitle script file to apply an offset, although this may be trial and error.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
