modify subtitles info

[max0069]

Hello! (...excuse for my bad english...)

I want to know if is possible to modify
subtitles info in the IFO files (...fonts and/or fadein and fadeout).
Example:
Many subtitles have a different font type
and/or have a different fadein/fadeout time.
Is possible to modify these info in the IFO files? ...How?

HELP!

Hi Max,

Subtitles are stored in the vob-files as separate bmp-files...
The ifo's just contain general info about language, which stream is where in the vob-files, etc

You'd have to reauthor ... change every subtitle-bitmap you'd like to change... it's a lot of work

Good Luck! ;)

Welcome to the forum, max0069.

I'm afraid you'll have to do it this way:

1. Demux (use PgcDemux)
2. Convert bitmap subs to text format (use SubRip's OCR function)
3. Create new bitmap subs (use SubtitleCreator) with the desired font/position etc.
4. Remux (use MuxMan)
5. Optional: Copy newly muxed PGC back into the old DVD structure by using VobBlanker
6. Copy subtitle colours from old .ifo to new .ifo (use IfoEdit or PgcEdit)

There are a few programs out there that can change the subtitle attributes (position etc.) in the bitmap subtitle stream itself, without having to convert to text format. But as the subtitles are made grahpically (in bitmap format), you can't change the font used for the subs inside the bitmap pictures...

Otherwise, you might be better off posting the question in the subtitle section of this forum instead...!
