Hi, I've taken the Three Colours Trilogy and am looking to burn them onto on DL disc with a simple menu I created. Here's what I did: 1) Ripped each disc using DVD Decrypter 2) Using DVD Shrink, reauthored a 3-title movie (one title for each film, minus the credits) 3) Added a basic menu with DVD Styler My problem is that somewhere in the process the easy to read white subtitles for each movie have now become a bold and unreadable black. Is there a tool I can use for my already authored and shrunk dual-layer disc to change the subtitle color? I've got PGCEdit but don't know how/if it would work with that. Thanks in advance.
Assuming the Trilogy is still on your hard drive and not burned to disc yet, here's some options to try to correct your subtitle colors... Try IFOEdit first. (But save your original IFO files in case the edit doesn't give you the results you want). Open the IFO file for each of the three titles. Select VTS_PGCITI, VTS_PGC_1, in the bottom window scroll down until you see the color entries. Edit the first four color entries ("Color 0 Y Cr CB", "Color 1 Y Cr CB", "Color 2 Y Cr CB", "Color 3 Y Cr CB"). For the 0 entry use the value "00 80 80", for the 1 entry use "55 80 80", for 2 use "AA 80 80" and for 3 use "FF 80 80". It should look like this: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/4778/ifocolors4ct.png IFOEdit download: http://www.ifoedit.com/ If that doesn't correct the black subs then use PgcEdit. File, Open DVD, then browse to the Video_TS folder of your DVD files, click OK. (with the small window that opens wait until the "Pause", "Abort" options disappear and "Close" becomes an option, could be 15 seconds or so.) Click close. In the left side window scroll down and highlight the first of your 3 titles. Right-click then Edit PGC. In the lower left corner of the window that opens you'll see the colors for the Color Lookup Table. Should look like this: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/9916/mongoland6ef.png Edit the colors as needed. With your black subs, look for the black entry in the Color Lookup table. Double click it to edit it and change it to white. Click OK, OK. Do the same for the 2nd and 3rd title. When done editing all three titles then File, Save DVD. Another subtitle editing tool you could try is DVDSubEdit. It will let you edit subtitle colors and preview the color edits on the fly, as you're editing. Kind of nice. http://www.videohelp.com/~DVDSubEdit/ Of the three, Blue is the most powerful. I think Juliette Binoche did an incredible job! Good luck.
