hello!
I have a problem, I try to author a DVD in GUI for DVD author (using Muxman instead of dvdauthor) and input my subtitles in SUP format (other formats doesn't work while using MuxMan).
My problem is: At first I got a .srt file which I convert with SubtitleCreator to .sup file. Then when I add my .sup file in GfD and create my DVD My subtitles shows in red color (don't know how to change this in SubtitleCreator) and they begin in the middle of the screen and dissapear to the right (so I'm not abel to see the whole text). Please Help! How do I fix thoes subtitles
regards
Michal

You can easily change the sub colors and positioning using DVDSubEdit. Open all the VOBs at once. Reading the parts of the included guide that have to do with your problem might be a help.
You could probably set it up correctly using SubtitleCreator, but since I don't use it for that I don't know how. -
My subtitles shows in red color
It should then work fine.
Cheers

please first open the associated IFO file before generating the SUP file.

Hi-

If they really are too big, then you go back to the program you used to create them and start over again.
I can also show you a picture how it look like when I move my subtitles to the left in DVDSubEdit
here the subtitles seems to be fine but then in some places:
and when a person in the movie talks much some of the subtitle are still outside the movie frame:
So how do I make my subtitle centered again and shall I first make them smaller?!
I hope my picture wasn't to hard to understand...

Sorry, but I can't help as I've never had the problem. You might have better luck over at Doom9. Although manusse (the SubtitleCreator guy) comes here often, and jeanl (the DVDSubEdit guy) comes here sometimes, Doom9 is perhaps the home base for both. Since you obviously put a lot of work into your last post, you might want to point them (jeanl, especially) to your post. Or maybe matusse, since he's already posted in this thread, will show up to help again as best he can. It seems to me that you must have done a few things wrong when creating the subs in SubtitleCreator, and he should be able to help with that.

I also think that the SUP file is 'corrupted' in some way. That's probably nothing which can be solved in GfD itself. The first thing I would try is to redo the conversion from srt to sup (maybe with another program).
Another possibility would be to convert the srt file to ssa and the render the subtitles with MaestroSBT (then you will also need the development version of GfD - have a look to this thread: https://forum.videohelp.com/topic339258.html ).
Just out of curiosity: Can you post (or send me by mail) a short SUP file (containing only a few of these 'currupted' subtitles)?GUI for dvdauthor:

I think your problem is that your final product is half-D1 (352 x 576), I once had a similar problem when using SubtitleCreator in combination with that resolution. I can see two different ways to solve the issue: either re-encode the video to full D1 or create smaller subs.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. -
träskmannen is right! I've not seen the 352 x 576 resolution for the final video as in the images it looks like full D1 (movie info: XVID 720x480...)

But I have to convert a SUP file from my SRT before I crate IFO so how do you mean?
No let's say there's no IFO. This is generally because you are generating the DVD yourself. In this case, this really depends on the program you are using to generate your DVD. You can use SubtitleCreator's prefered palette. Choose Format->Use prefered subtitle colors, check that Settings->Write palette with SUP files -> As IFO is checked, then generate your SUP file. An IFO file of the same name will be generated. Then use this IFO file with GfD. I've searched how to do it, and found it in GfD's help:
From GfD help (http://download.videohelp.com/GFD/Help/VideoFileDialog.html)
Remark: For subtitles in the sup format you should always select an appropriate palette, the sup file itself doesn't contain colors!
Hope this helps
Cheers

yeah thanks manusse I think I understand better now how the whole thing works ...but as said my problem is already solved (I will maybe later post a post which has more to do with my subtitles color). So far I got a new problem:
I have input three different languages subtitles (in GfD) all in .sup format. But the thing is; two of my subtitles was in .txt format from the beginning and had a structure like this "{200}{300} Text" and the third subtitle was in .srt format
1
00.00.01.000 --> 00.00.02.00
Text
all these 3 formats did sucessfully convert to .sup (I convert them with SubtitleCreator) but after I created my DVD these two which was .txt from the beginning was working great...though the third one (.srt) wasn't synhronised with my vidoe (I have synhronised it befor with TimeAdjuster and the .srt file worked as well as thoes .txt). Please help why doesn't the .srt file work as well as the .txt in .sup format -
it's PAL and when I open my .srt file in SubtitleCreator it asks if I want my subtitles in PAL, NTSC... format. Where I of course klick PAL ...what's the problem ... and the thing is I got 2 .srt files to 2 different videos .... so to each video I got 2 .txt and 1 .srt and both .srt doesn't work in these videos
-
Ok, normally this should have worked. There is a problem with NTSC subs but not with PAL. Could you please describe the type of timing problem you have with your generated SUP files. Is there an offset or a drift?
Cheers

But thank you very much for your help!!! And now (if the .sup files work correctly) I will try to change my subtitle color

Is there a better way to fix subtitle color? (Open .sup file / full domain)

1). I asked for help with changing subtitles color.
2). I got two aswers:

4). Then I tried to first create my DVD and then change my subtitlescolors with DVDSubEdit (manonos method) and
that worked just fine.
Sorry it was my fault again
Michal -
OK, maybe I was rude but... Anyway:
yes 'write palette with SUP files' is checked but when I generate my SUP file (Save SUP as?) there is no IFO file created.
Normally with V2.2 when you save as SUP an IFO file (same name as the sup file followed by .ifo) will be created at the same place. Are you using V2.2?
Manusse -
Did you also check As .IFO?
Are you using V2.2?
Michal -
Are you sure no IFO file is generated when you save your srt file as sup. Please try again in a directory where you don't have many files. Maybe you don't see it but it's there. I'm pretty sure it's working.
