[taasan]

hi!! can anyone help me with the problem??


after i finish with Voblanker somehow my chapter doesn't start the way it was .

it start somewhere else ... what can i do about it???

[X_Splinter]

I'm creating a DVD with maybe 4 videos inside (Menu and chapters too) and i want to add subtitles to the main video.

I follow this tutorial and i made it (14 subtitles to the main video and menu & chapters still there)

BUT the subtitles displays all in grey and white and in big words and the worse thing is that i can only play the subtitles in a PC and only if i open the main video file. Because if i play the movie from the menu the pc don't find the subtitles.

My objective is to creat that Munu, multi video with subtitles whitch works on stand alones DVDs players and with decent subtitles.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

[fibola]

i got a message of 1 oddities detected, resulting DVD is non-standard. Check log for details
1 oddities detected, resulting DVD is non-standard. Check log for details

what can it be ?

[manono]

I've had that message before, but forget what it meant in my case. Did you check the log (in the root of the C Drive), and did it give more information? I don't think so, though, if my foggy memory is correct. I seem to remember some kind of a major screwup in my case, but, again, I forget. Play the resulting DVD, paying particular attention to audio synch, and if the entire video is there (check the end of it). Check a vob in GSpot, ReStream, Bitrate Viewer, or anything else you can think of, looking for strange things. Play the DVD in PowerDVD or whatever you usually use to test. Maybe burn to DVD-RW and test in your standalone. Otherwise, if it's all there, I guess you're OK. Sorry not to be more specific, but I haven't had that error message for awhile now, and I forget.

Hi, I want add portuguese subtitles in LORT - EXTENDED VERSION

I follow this tutorial perfecly but my subtitles don´t show in 4:3 letterbox

Why?

Thanks

PS. mux by muxman

[fibola]

hi ,
i have 2 problem that im suffering from when i use this guide:

1. according to the guide if i want to add sub and i want it to fit to 16:9 and 4:3 i need to create to sup files and load them to slots 1 and 2 (in muxman) and set the first one to LB and the second to wide.

although i do it in the result project i get only 1 subtitle and not 2 .

2. sometimes when i use voblanker in order to save to menu the sub color are changing (as the guide says it would) and sometimes it not changing.

in the time it doesnt change everything is ok and im burning to project and have menu.
but in the times it do change i get lost with the ifoedit phase and not succeed in changing the color and eventualy i give up and burn the remuxed folder with no menu.


1. why i get 1 subtitle when i load 2 ?
2. is there an other way to change the sub color (not with ifoedit) ?

thanx


p.s
HUGE GUIDE.

[manono]

Hi-

1. One of the subs is for widescreen TV display, and the other is for 4:3 TV display. Even though you included 2 subs (of the same language), only one will be shown in PowerDVD or by your DVD player. They are supposed to switch automatically. And the first is supposed to be Wide and the second LB. If you have only 2 sub streams and they're for 2 different languages, then each is both Wide and LB, and you'd load each sub and click both Wide and LB.

2. Yes, open the final DVD with the wrong colored subs in PGCEdit. Remember which is the outline color and which is the main color. Double-click the video, and in the new screen you'll see the 4x4 block of colors. In the top row you should see your 2 colors, Click on each and change to whatever you like. OK, Save DVD, and test.

didnt understood nothing ...sorry.
can anyone please explain to me phase after phase what should i do in order to fix the color of the sub after the voblanker reauthored ?

sorry again.

[manono]

Come on, man, this isn't rocket science. Did you even try what I described? Open the DVD in PGCEdit. Here I've highlighted the video in the left panel. Then double-click on it:

A new screen will open up. Among the things you'll see are the CLUT (Color LookUp Table, or the 4x4 block of colors). 2 of the colors, probably in the top row, will be what you have for the outline and main color of your subs. Click on them one at a time and change the colors. Maybe you want the outline as black and the main color as white or yellow or grey. Whatever. Then, after you have them the way you want, OK your way back to the main screen (the OK button isn't shown in that pic because I cropped it). And then File->Save DVD. Not hard.

[fibola]

thanx again and sorry for the trouble.

i tried today to make a backup for Gridiron Gang before i demuxed the movie i chose check a/v delay and there were none.
but after remuxed the movie there is an incompatibility in the speech.

any suggestion ?

[manono]

Hi-

Gridiron Gang is a Sony release, so it has ARccOS protection. Any asynched audio you got is probably related to your decrypting method. If you didn't use the full RipIt4Me on it, I'd suggest either redoing it from the beginning, or perhaps figuring out the delay and remuxing it, adding in the delay.

[fibola]

manono as for gridiron gang there were no arccos protection on it and i tried to set the delay for several time (in different numbers ) but it didnt work, anyway i deleted the files and abonded the project.

but now i have another issue, which make me wonder if im the only one who have them ? im sorry if im making you trouble but im not making them.....

so , in another project i run muxman and got this message :

Video decoder buffer underflowed 2 times.
Check c:\muxman.log for details.
Resulting DVD will probably not play smoothly.

does it mean anything to you ??

thanx again .

[manono]

Gridiron Gang does have ARccOS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DVDs_protected_by_ARccoS

Buffer underflows are usually the result of setting your max video bitrate too high. If you're using CCE, lower the max bitrate and run another pass.

[fibola]

thanx i will give it a try.

[fibola]

does muxman work through cce ?
if so where can i define the bitrate i cant find any place in muxman and neither in cce that i can set the bitrate .

[manono]

So you haven't been inside the "guts" of CCE? Right-click the video and "Edit". And you might try reading your manual.

http://www.doom9.org/mpg/cce270.htm

[fibola]

i lower to max bitrate but still same error.

[manono]

What did you set for the max video bitrate? And at what's the bitrate of your audio? I suppose you let CCE do the audio and you got WAV audio out of it. If you convert that WAV audio to AC3 using, maybe, Aften, then you can mux and probably not have buffer underflows. Also, from the log above:

Shortest GOP has 9 fields, longest GOP has 38 fields.

For NTSC, the max can be only 36 fields. If the source AVI is 23.976fps, then make N/M=4, and not the default 5.

[fibola]

i run couple of tring the lower video bitrate i set was to 4500.
(the default is set to 6000)
as for the audio i cant touch it since the output is set to wav.

from what i understood from you i can maybe convert the wav to ac3 using aften and then run them in muxman . am i correct ?

[manono]

Yes, you can convert the WAV audio to AC3 using Aften and one of its GUIs.

i run couple of tring the lower video bitrate i set was to 4500.

I said lower the maximum video bitrate, not the average bitrate. If, for example, the max is set for 9000, then having WAV audio could easily cause buffer underflows. But maybe converting that WAV audio to AC3 using Aften or BeSweet or something will fix your problem.

[fibola]

hi,
i want to use this guide with tv series dvd when u have 4 episode on on dvd .
how can i do it , should i demux each one of the episode alone and if so later on the muxman how do i join them all since there is only one place to video and i need to connect each of the sub to the right episode.

thanx in advance.

[saga_gx]

I'm having troubles after I replace the files with Voblanker,
the subs play fine but when I replace the pcg , the subs in the reauthored folder plays all grey.
Before I replace them the subs were fine.
Any idea?

[manono]

Any idea?

Yes, change the colors. There are several ways to do this, but because there's a guide for it, I'd suggest using DVDSubEdit for the job:

Hi, I followed the instruction written by "bluedha" in the first post of this tread, in a part about puting menu back. Started at point 5, as I remuxed files and replaced Chinese subtitles for Polish one, using Padington's method from here https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=245188.
Saved new dvd in new folder, using VobBlanker. Following the guide, I replaced all informations about Chinese subs with the parameters connected to the Polish subs. I saved the .ifo files (VIDEO_TS.ifo and VTS_01_0.ifo) with changes. There is no any information in mantioned .ifo files about chinese language, any more. But DVD's menu still shows 'Chinese', instead of 'Polish'. Any other ifo files from the compilation has nothing to do with subtitles. Ofcourse, if I choose Chinese, Polish subs are shown correct. What I might forgot about and how to make the menu to display the word "Polish" instead of "Chinese".
Looked into every place in ifo files, of newly created dvd, looking for any remainings of the "chinese" word and found nothing.
I kindly ask for any advice, please.

Hi-

See if this helps:

If your subtitle menu is a static (no motion) menu, you can skip directly to The Easy Way at the bottom of the post. You may need to refer to earlier in the guide, though, for instructions on how to extract the menu.
