I have an MKV video with soft subtitles - I can turn them on and off in VLC player. There are no separate subtitle or audio files.
I want to create a DVD using DVD Styler. I dragged the MKV into it and created two menu sets, a VMGM and a Titleset.
I added a Setup button to VMGM Menu 1, which jumps to Titleset 1 Menu 4.
Menu 4 has a Subtitles button to turn subtitles on, and a Subtitles Off button to turn them off.
It will also have a pair of audio buttons.
How do I code Menu 4 and its buttons? I searched and tried to decipher the documentation, to no avail.
For the Subtitles button Properties, I chose Custom, entered "subtitle=0;", and in the subtitle dropdown chose track 1. Is this correct?
EDIT: No idea how this post didn't end up in the DVD Authoring forum.

I searched that pdf for all occurrences of subtitle and read p 14 and all other pages. I don't understand it. To me, p 14 says the register can be invoked as "subtitle", and that a value can be set with "=value;", that there are 0-31 possible values. Didn't I follow that? Maybe you can take a moment to explain what's wrong.

The ASS Softcoded button in the example you gave, isn't using the approach on page 14, and isn't coding a separate audio/subtitle menu. It's playing title 1 with subtitles. I don't want to play title 1 with or without, then have to restart the entire video to turn subtitles on or off. I want to start playing, then turn subtitles on or off. Can't I do that?

The menu could have a button to turn subtitles on.

And a button to turn them off.

Ok, that's helpful. My remote does not have a "subtitle" (STTL) button.
For audio, I have two streams, stereo and 5.1 surround. Are these streams referenced as 0 and 1, or 1 and 2, with 0 being embedded in the video per the pdf p 14? -
Are these streams referenced as 0 and 1
If your remote has an "Audio" you could use a menu with entry Audio. And you don't need to use buttons. You could use a pre-command for the menu like
if (g0==62) { g0=64; } else { g0=62; };subtitle=g0;resume;
But I don't know how you'll handle the selections of audio/subtitles just remember they must be selected from a Titleset menu not a VMGM menu. -
Very few players have buttons on their remote for menus other than the Title Menu and the Root Menu.
Sometimes a button combination such as Subtitle and then any of the menu keys does it but that is rare as well.
If I was you I would just use the Root Menu for this and use the Resume feature to avoid having to restart the movie.
