Two streams in one subtitle

[frameloose]

I have demuxed a dvd, and when i reauthored the dvd and copy the subtitles colors, it get all green, then i saw that the original IFO had 2 streams in one subtitle (the one i attached), so i guess it has something to do with the fact that it needs two subtitle streams for each subtitle so to say, so how do i author a dvd with two streams in one subtitle just like the picture..

UPDATE : the attachment wouldnt work, so here is a link : deutch.JPG (http://www.gardet.org/deutch.JPG)

Those 2 streams just mean that you have separate subpicture streams for different play options, probably widescreen and letterbox. Are you sure you copied PGC colors? Beware that every subpicture stream can use it's own colors from PGC color map, although that's not likely to be found in commercial dvds.

AFAIK the easiest way to assign multiple subpicture streams to a single subtitle is by using Pgcedit, although you can do it with Ifoedit too. Just set the number under VTS_PGCITI->VTS_PGC_x->Subpicture stream 1 status

Thanks, that worked out fine, i guess the original dvd had set different colors on different subtitle streams, but now when i got the two streams into one and copied the colors, the came out all white as the should, so once again, thanks.

DVDMaestro can do this, you need to create two substreams. One for wide and one for letterbox.

Then map the substreams like this:

The Track Properties settings for the English Widescreen subtitle
track (track 1). These settings make it the number 1 choice when
playing to a system that supports widescreen, and makes it
unavailable when playing in letterbox format (with the “None”
setting).

The Track Properties settings for the English Letterbox subtitle track
(track 2). These settings make it the number 1 choice when playing
in the letterbox format, and makes it unavailable when playing to a
widescreen system (with the “None” setting).
