IfoEdit and subtitle type

[coona]

I need to solve this problem. Original DVD uses two different subtitle streams for each language - one for letterbox and one for wide. Both are similar so I wanted to use for each language only one stream. My problem is that I can´t change the number of used stream because it is not editable in IfoEdit. Is there some way how to change it in .ifo file?

Here is part of VTS_PGC_1 form VTS_PCTITI. I want to change 5 to 0, 6 to 1, 7 to 2 etc.

[0000001c] Sub-picture stream 1 status -2147483648 [80000000]
Sub-picture stream 1 uses stream nr.(4:3): 0
Sub-picture stream 1 uses stream nr.(wide): 0
Sub-picture stream 1 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 5
Sub-picture stream 1 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0
[00000020] Sub-picture stream 2 status -2147417856 [80010100]
Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(4:3): 0
Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(wide): 1
Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 6
Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0
[00000024] Sub-picture stream 3 status -2147352064 [80020200]
Sub-picture stream 3 uses stream nr.(4:3): 0
Sub-picture stream 3 uses stream nr.(wide): 2
Sub-picture stream 3 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 7
Sub-picture stream 3 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0
[00000028] Sub-picture stream 4 status -2147286272 [80030300]
Sub-picture stream 4 uses stream nr.(4:3): 0
Sub-picture stream 4 uses stream nr.(wide): 3
Sub-picture stream 4 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 8
Sub-picture stream 4 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0
[0000002c] Sub-picture stream 5 status -2147220480 [80040400]
Sub-picture stream 5 uses stream nr.(4:3): 0
Sub-picture stream 5 uses stream nr.(wide): 4
Sub-picture stream 5 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 9
Sub-picture stream 5 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0



Any idea?

I think you already did that, you just have to refresh the IfoEdit screen in order to see the changes.

[coona]

Unfortunately not. As I wrote IfoEdit did not allow me to change it. It wrote: Item is not editable. :(

Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(letterbox): 6
Sub-picture stream 2 uses stream nr.(pan&scan): 0 You change that by clicking on "Sub-picture stream N status", not "Sub-picture stream N uses stream nr..."

As far as I understand, the status above 0x80010100 should result in stream 1 used for both wide and letterbox modes. To use stream 6 for letterbox, I would expect the status to be set to 0x80010600.

Try stripping streams 0x25 - 0x29 using VOB extras and see what happens. Perhaps, afterwards you'll have to reset Sub-picture stream status for all subpictures to the same values as in your example.

your '-2147417856' type numbers and '[80010100]' don't match m8

stream 1 seems ok as it is
stream 2 needs changing to -2147549440
stream 3 to -2147615232
stream 4 to -2147681024
stream 5 to -2147746816

hope this helps

Both of you are right :). I used part from another .ifo file and then I edited it only in my post. So numbers in dec or hex form aren´t in any relation to numbers of used streams. (I hope you can see what I meant :)).
Anyway I didn´t know there is relation between hex or dec number and numbers of used streams, but I can see it clearly now.

So if I want to use e.g. stream number 10 for both wide and letterbox I have to enter this value -2146825728. Right?

[burnout]

yup, that's right. just 800A0A00 converted to denary

OK - hope this will work.

Big thanx to all of you for your help.
