DVD Shrink unwanted Titles with Apex Player

linuxking · 19th September 2004, 21:31

I just made my first DVDShrink movie. Looks great; however, when played on my Apex dvd player, I get a title (?) or whatever you would call text above the picture. It shows randomly - not with the change of a chapter or anything else I can correlate to. The movie is Star Wars II - that's important cause the titles I get are Lucas and other names - names related to the makers of the movie. These random names stay for about 3 seconds then go away - very distracting.

When I play the same movie on my Daewoo DVD player - I don't get these titles.

On both players, I have the subtitles turned off.

The version of DVDShrink I'm using is 3.2 and the OS is WinXP Pro. I have the option Hide audio and subpicture streams of insignificant size checked (not sure what this means - checked as recommended in a HowTo about DVDShrink).

Thanks.

did you happen to use the reauthor mode ?

Yes I did. I just wanted the movie - no menus or anything. Did I forget to uncheck something when I reauthored? Thanks.

yes the same thing has happened with my digitrex player(which is really the australian version apex).

after you have dragged the main title(movie) to the dvd structure window right click on it. in the menu that pops up select "set default streams...". in the subpicture setting select "hide subpicture". then it wont automatically display but need to be selected/activated by your remote etc.
