Subtitles background not transparent

[The4thDoctor]

I have converted idx/sub subtitles to sup format for authoring in DVDAuthorGUI.

The DVD authors fine but the subtitle's background files the whole screen with either white, gray, black or whatever color I selected when I authored in DVDAuthorGUI!

I even tried using PGCEdit to correct this problem but to no avail!

Anyone have any ideas?

One other thing, here is the info from the idx file:

# Original frame size
size: 720x480

# Origin, relative to the upper-left corner, can be overloaded by aligment
org: 0, 0

# Image scaling (hor,ver), origin is at the upper-left corner or at the alignment coord (x, y)
scale: 100%, 100%

# Alpha blending
alpha: 100%

# Smoothing for very blocky images (use OLD for no filtering)
smooth: OFF

# In millisecs
fadein/out: 50, 50

# Force subtitle placement relative to (org.x, org.y)
align: OFF at LEFT TOP

# For correcting non-progressive desync. (in millisecs or hh:mms:ms)
# Note: Not effective in DirectVobSub, use "delay: ... " instead.
time offset: 0

# ON: displays only forced subtitles, OFF: shows everything
forced subs: OFF

# The original palette of the DVD
palette: 6d6d6d, 000000, 6d6d6d, 000000, 7e7e7e, bebebe, 14bef3, ea12eb, faff1a, 000070, 067506, 731f03, 095f78, dadada, 7c950b, ffffff

# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: OFF, tridx: 0000, colors: 000000, 000000, 000000, 000000

Does this help?

dvdsubedit, "You can also change the transparency of the pixels in the subpic."

Thanks for suggestion. Do you know why DVDAuthorGUI would make the background a solid color?

The program does state that color 0 was transparent.

IMHO it's a problem of pxsup2dast + spumux. That's why I have 'rewritten' this part in GUI for DVDAuthor.

I confirm that DVDSubEdit can solve your problem...
