Added sub has the oposite colors,Very unusual so please help

[SidDan]

There were no pure subtitle topic here so I try my luck in this DVD topic.

what I am facing here can´t be found in other topics around cause this is very strange and not normal.
I know how to add a subtitle and make it to work, done this with 2 movies already but this movie 28 Days Later is very different.

The added sub colors doesn´t match the original sub colors.
I have as like many others downloaded an SRT file then converted it with SRT2SUP to finally author with ifoedit. It doesn´t really matter I think what settings I have in SRT2SUP.
With this movie I have discoverd that:

For original sub:
Color 0 = blank/nothing, guess this must be the background
color 1 = also blank/nothing, I don´t know why
Color 2 = outline
Color 3 = character/letter
color 4 and below have no effect

For the added sub:
Color 0 = blank/nothing
Color 1 = outline
Color 2 = character/letter
Color 3 = anti alias
color 4 and below have no effect

So how much sense does this make?...
When I change the color 2 then the added sub and the original sub will have the total oposite colors.

I was thinking maybe to rip the original subs convert them to srt and then re-start the process totally. Never done this before so I am quite uncertain.

I don't know about SRT files, but you could always load in the IFO file from a disc where the colour is your preference into IFOedit, copy the subtitle colour and then paste it into the target IFO.

sorry garry, but you must have misunderstood me.
as I know how to normally put in an extra subtitle and make it fully succesfully, I have used the copy paste function in ifoedit from the original file to the new authored file. I have done this way with two different movies and the colors were perfect for the original subs and also the new added sub.............. after I changed the first 4 colors.

But as how I carefully explained the colors are mixed up with this particular movie. The Color 2 doesn´t treat the same color area on the text for both the original and the added sub. Cus when I change the Color 2 to white the text for the original will have white outlines while for the added sub it will have white character.
