    I have an AVI movie that I converted to DVD format, it came with a subtitle file meant for the AVI file. It was a SSA file, I converted it to a SRT file then to a SUP file. I went to use IFOEdit to Author my DVD, loaded the SUP file and let it convert. Only problem, when I previewed the movie, the subtitles are green.

    I did a search on the forum before I posted and I found nothing, I found something sorta useful from a google search. This other site said that IFOEdit left the colors set to 0, and they were, so I changed them to what they specified, only now they were Red outlined.. so that didn't make sense. Then it suggested copying the color table from another movie that has the subtitles the way I want them and pasting it into the IFO file. I did that now they were pink and each time I tried pasting the same table.. I somehow got a different color each time. What I want is Black outline with solid white text, the basic, but what I keep getting is some random color border and black text. TMPEnc(whatever) DVD Authoring doesn't do subtitles and I don't have DVD Lab Pro or Maestro just yet, I'd prefer it if I could make IFOEdit work.

    I appreciate any help. Also, I used SRT2SUP as a converting program, I set the colors to the way I wanted inside that program and it converted. Granted, I have no way of verifying that it did it correct, I can only assume so, but whenever I author with IFOEdit, it's just f-d up. Please help, this is making my head spin.. Thanks in advance.

    Edit your IFO file In IFOEdit. Under VTS_PGCITI highlight VTS_PGC_1. In the bottom window scroll down a bit until you see the following color entries and edit them with the hex values on the right. This should change the subs to white.

    Color 0 Y Cr Cb ..........00 80 80
    Color 1 Y Cr Cb ..........55 80 80
    Color 2 Y Cr Cb ..........aa 80 80
    Color 3 Y Cr Cb ..........ff 80 80

    That did make the borders of the letters white. But I was hoping to make the borders black and the text a solid white. If anyone could help with that, that'd also be appreciated. =)

    Nevermind, I used a new program called Subtitle Creator then used info edit to put in these values:

    [000000a5] Color 0 Y Cr CB 40 109 240 [28 6d f0 ]
    [000000a9] Color 1 Y Cr CB 81 240 90 [51 f0 5a ]
    [000000ad] Color 2 Y Cr CB 16 128 128 [10 80 80 ]
    [000000b1] Color 3 Y Cr CB 234 128 128 [ea 80 80 ]
    [000000b5] Color 4 Y Cr CB 58 143 149 [3a 8f 95 ]
    [000000b9] Color 5 Y Cr CB 72 116 169 [48 74 a9 ]
    [000000bd] Color 6 Y Cr CB 210 146 16 [d2 92 10 ]
    [000000c1] Color 7 Y Cr CB 91 73 146 [5b 49 92 ]
    [000000c5] Color 8 Y Cr CB 95 156 168 [5f 9c a8 ]
    [000000c9] Color 9 Y Cr CB 209 128 128 [d1 80 80 ]
    [000000cd] Color 10 Y Cr CB 48 182 109 [30 b6 6d ]
    [000000d1] Color 11 Y Cr CB 79 81 91 [4f 51 5b ]
    [000000d5] Color 12 Y Cr CB 28 119 182 [1c 77 b6 ]
    [000000d9] Color 13 Y Cr CB 97 207 207 [61 cf cf ]
    [000000dd] Color 14 Y Cr CB 136 179 58 [88 b3 3a ]
    [000000e1] Color 15 Y Cr CB 217 128 127 [d9 80 7f ]

    and NOW it's how I want them. I have no clue why SRT2SUP was being gay
