Subtiles On Off Please help.

[Tariq]

Hi,

I cant turn off my Subtitles help me please.

My Subtiles are in subpicture 1, how can I make the defualt play no subtiles, so when the disc is entered no subtiles play? but when the user goes to my subtitle menu and presses subtitle on, then returns to the video they play subpicture 1?

I thought I would try using GPRMS so I did as follows but I think I have gone wrong somewhere.

My First Play pre command is Mov GPRM6, 0
then on my video I have the pre command SetSTN Subpicture = GPRM6
as GPRM6 is set to 0 it should not my subtitles.

Then on my Subtile On button I have the command GPRM6=64 LinkTopC, button = 6.

I have even tried to just to put the command
SetSTN subpicture=1:OFF but that does not work.

I am stuck please help.
Any ideas?

My Script starts off
st_format 2
Subtitle ENHH
Display_start non_forced
Pixel_Area (2 478)
Display_Area (0 2 719 478)
Color (9 3 4 4)
Contrast (15 15 15 0)
BG (0 0 0 === )
PA (255 255 255 = = = )
E1 (255 0 0 = = = )
E2 (128 128 128 = = = )

so its not forced either.

what are you testing it in? And does it work properly in software simulation in Scenarist?
Check the 'Information Window' to see what it is doing.

Hi, I am testing it in Scenarist, using simulation window.
The only way I can turn them off is by using the subpicture on/off button on the left side of my simulation window. But if I turn it off using this, it permemnatly turns off the subtitles so I cant test if my menu Subtitle On Off buttons are working.

Please help I am so close to the end of my project and I have been trying to figure this out for two days.

What does the 'Information Window' say when you try and turn them off the normal way?

[Tariq]

The Information as in General window? Nothing strange just, playing pgc.

I have put the following commands on looking through the forum all night and I cant see why it is not working

Pre command of my Video with Subtitles is
SetSTNsubpicture = GPRM 14

Pre command of my setup menu
1: MovGPRM14, SPRM2
2: SetSTN Subpicture=GPRM14

Button for Subtile On
1: MovGPRM14, 64 ; LinkTopPG, button=6
Button for Subtile Off
2: MovGPRM14, 0; LinkTop PG, button=6

Post Command of my set up menu.
1: SetSTN subpicture=GPRM14.

The small pink button that says subtile on/off is unchecked.

that all looks fine. But without seeing the script, I can't say what else to do. If you want to send me the scipt file, I can PM you my e-mail address.

Hi,

I have just tested it and what I get is when I turn subtitles on, the subtiles flash on i,e the 1st subtile will flash on then disapear. Do you know why this is happining?

[cona812]

Try to compile your project and test with PowerDVD or anything else. The preview of subtitles is sometimes a bit messing.

@ cona812:

Are you saying you've had problems with software simulating subs in Scenarist? If so, what??? As I've never had any problems with software simulating in Scenarist. Just curious that's all.

D. :confused:

[hi_max]

how about set a dummy pgc in root after the first play link here only one time,then the pre command set subpicture off and the post command link to your first menu,so the default dvd play is subtitle off always in first play.

[dgoodbourn]

No need. If you are using GPRMs to define the subtitles, then as long as their not set to say 64 in your startup commands, and your sst has them set as non_forced, then there is no reason why they would automatically be set to on. What Tariq has done, seems to be a fairly standard way of doing subtitles.

oh, just a thought though Tariq, does it work fine if you DON'T go through the setup page at all???
