subtitle color different when vob viewed in wmp and ifo viewed in ifoedit

[jarthel]

I have a downsampled DVD (using new big 3) here. I just want to reauthor the DVD so but I used old Big 3 method for the reauthoring.

I successfully ran dif4u. Then, I copied/paste the .m2v into .mpv. I then load the reauthorist file into scenarist. Using the simulation window, the subtitle color is yellow which is want I want.

I then proceed to build the vobs. After a successful build, I opened the vob in windows media player. The subtitle displayed is yellow which is good.

I configured IFOUpdate options according to the ones in the old Big 3 guide and proceeded to the update the affected VTSes.

I then open the VIDEO_TS.IFO in ifoedit and "get VTS". I then play the DVD and the subtitle is colored "white outline cyan text".

I opned the affected ifo into ifoedit and look at VTS_PGCITI->VTS_PGC_1. I made screen dumps of the original VTS ifo (from the source DVD image itself loaded using alcohol) and the affected VTS ifo. They are the same but viewing the DVD through ifoedit still produces "white outline cyan text".
any other ideas?

Thanks

did you choose the option to copy color tables when updating the ifo?

Yes that option was enabled.

That particular VTS (e.g. VTS2) is a multi-PGC with PGC1 with the video and the rest empty. When I used batchifoupdate, it would update the rest but would not update VTS2 saying the PGC count does not match. Could it be the same with ifoupdate where the only difference is that batchifoupdate prompts me while ifoupdate just goes on seemingly with no problems?

hmmm ...so the structure of vts_02 is different in the re-compiled dvd than in the original?
if this is the cause of your problem, it should be an easy fix to get the pgc count correct for your re-authored disc.
please post your before and after ifos showing the pgc layout, as it could be as easy as adding a few dummy tracks to make up the missing pgcs.
