dvdshrink and subtitles ?

[Shania12]

Hello, I backed up my original movie using dvd shrink, but when I played my backedup movie in my dvd player on the screen there is subtitles, test constantly on the screen. How do I get rid of them ?

So when I backup my dvd's the backed up copy wont have those damn subtitle text things on the screen.

1. Grab the remote.

2. Press the subtitle button.

3. When the subtitle box appears, press the cursor button once, and it should disappear.

4. Press the subtitle button, to remove the subtitle box.

1) are you doing full disk backup or reauthor mode in DVDshrink??

2) if you don't EVER want the subtitles, than you can remove the subtitles permanently in DVDshrink.....select your main movie and then uncheck the boxes under "subpicture"

Ah under subpicture, ok great
Thank You very much

when i first use shrink

the subtitles kept coming back on even after i would turn them off

i remove them now everytime i use shrink so i won't have that problem

@vance43211,

i think DVDshrink's reauthor mode seems to be more buggy than full backup mode.

[vance43211]

so if i did the movies in backup mode i wouldn't have this problem?

if so, that is good to know

but i take them out anyway

because i don't use them

@vance43211,

not sure on the technical details, but i believe if you reauthor, DVDshrink has to create a whole new set of .ifo files, etc....

------

but if you're just backing up the full disk as is...there's really nothing for DVDShrink to mess with other than the filesizes...cuz all the files are still present in the right order, etc....

[vance43211]

ok

i got it

I used to backup all my movies with no subtitles.....but then I backed up Sum of All Fears......and half the movie is in Russian...guess where the english subtitles come from

If you to a backup in dvd shrink rather than re-author the IFO's aren't touched as much since, as poopyhead pointed out, all the data is still in the same order.

well....there are movies where the subtitles are softcoded (encountered quite a few)...but most subtitles during foreign language speaking are forced...meaning they are actually part of the video and cannot be turned off....so, not part of a separate subtitle stream

[bartman]

most subtitles during foreign language speaking are forced

That's what I was thinking as well (and most of my other DVD's are)....but I got caught out this time.....now I just rip the English subtitles regardless..they don't take up much room anyway....

(getting back to Shania12's question) Can't say that I've ever had the problem that subtitles are on by default after doing a backup with DVD Shrink...I've never done a re-author so I can't comment on that method.
