Green subtitles even after using copy/paste in IFOEDIT

[flash70]

Hi,
I just finished converting a XVID movie to DVDR. Since it's my second conversion, I already have a saved IFO file configured with white subtitles.
After I copied the IFO color setting from the old IFO to the new IFO (using IFOEDIT) and played the VOB on my PC, I found the subtitiles to appear in GREEN color.
I re-checked the color settings inside the IFO (the hex codes) and found the correct values appear in the appropriate fields. I tried changing it again manually, but it doesn't affect the subtitles. They appear in green color. What could be wrong ??

Oh, I forgot to mention:
The subtitles came with the XVID movie as SUB/IDX and I converted them using SUB2SUP.

When you said you re-check the color settings, do you mean the original ifo or the one you created? It sounds like you might not have saved the changes after you copy the color.

I checked the settings on both IFOs. Opened them both in IFOEDIT and compared the 4 lines "Color 0 Y Cr CB" to "Color 3 Y Cr CB" under the VTS_PGC_1. It's just as if the DVD Player ignores these lines completely.

Any new thoughts ?
Did I post in the right forum ?

I'm not sure, but have you made 2 identical "backups" using identical source mtrl, or have you made 2 backups from different sources? If the latter, you can't use the colors from the IFO from DVD X and just paste them into the IFO for DVD Y. Each subtitle has its own palette. Time for a little trial & error, I think...

I'm reffering to two different backups. If every compilation has it's own pallette it could explain the weird results I get.
Is there a way to configure/edit this color pallette ?

[mats.hogberg]

Yes, with ifoEdit.

flash70, when I said " saved " I mean after the copying, did you click the save button right afterward?
Anyway check out this link:

Scroll down to where it says ' CORRECTING FUZZY GREEN SUBTITLES ON NEW IFO'
Hope this will help.
