I recently reencoded The Incredibles (dutch PAL) with the Big3. The sub colors in the authored dvd are all wrong (black with white borders etc). I've already copied the subtitle colors from original to the authored ifo but that didn't work. Probably because the authored dvd isn't exactly the same as the original one. I've pasted some info from ifoedit for you to check for yourself.
The subtitles in the original dvd have multiple id's, the authored doesn't. How can I fix this? I think that would solve my problem..

The scenarist authored dvd:Title Set (Movie) attributes:

Can't tell what's the source of your problem, but for changing colors you just need to change values in subtitle colormap. Try to identify something that looks like colors you get in playback, such as:

108080 (black)
eb8080 (white)

and simply exchange the values.

There is something broken in the subpic status of your PGC.
Load the DVD in PgcEdit, and double click on the title's PGC. Compare the subpic stream numbers, and the color table with the original, and fix them.
You may copy/paste the color table from the original to the reauthored DVD if you open both DVDs in two instances of PgcEdit at the same time.
You will need to change the subpic streams assingments manually, but it's easy.
If it still doesn't work, try to change the colors in the table one at a time, and test-play the DVD...

The subpic status, assignments and color tables were exactly the same.
I've solved my problem by altering 2 colors in the table..
Thanks for the help!
