Turning off forced subtitles

[drfsupercenter]

Simple.
Create a Root Menu PGC (right-click on any PGC of the VTS and select New Menu.)
Then, change the command in the new root menu to:
[30 06 00 00 00 42 00 00] 1 (JumpSS) Jump to VMGM Title menu
Repeat for all titlesets.

Didn't work. It just dies. (as in it stops playing)

I tried the JumpSS in pre and post commands. No luck.

--EDIT--
I think I deleted the title menu. That might be why LOL

Keep experimenting. You'll get there

It's not in the VOBs - DVDSubEdit proved that there was no forced start in the subs.

Don't know what it is then!

I tried remuxing one title and burning as-is, subs were on. I tried Nero and DVD Shrink, they are on no matter what. It's no big deal, thought it was an easy fix.

But it doesn't hurt to leave that turn subs off command on there, does it?

[blutach]

No, it doesn't and it should solve your problem.

OK I will add it again.

Another question: One of the episodes forgets the accent over the e in Pokémon. This is strange since I just re-authored from the Nintendo DVDs.

I opened that episode in DVDSubEdit and it let me delete the e but not add a better one. Or any character for that matter. Is there a program that lets me EDIT and not just remove?

[blutach]

Try SubtitleCreator.

That just lets me adjust position.

What would happen if I made an SRT and then made an SUP again... would that mess the font up?

[blutach]

Ooops sorry - no it shouldn't. Subrip can make them as text files, IIRC.

[drfsupercenter]

OK I converted to SRT.

A couple problems tho.

For one: the music note symbol. The program I used made them all numbersigns (#). How would I change them back in the final one?

[blutach]

Tis is one thing, IIRC, that DVD SubEdit certainly takes out. Maybe jeanl can confirm.

Yes, DVDSubEdit can identify music notes and remove them, but it can't put a "real" music note where there's a "#"...
About your subs being forced or not, to make 100% sure that none of the subs are forced in DVDSubEdit, click on "Only show forced subpics". If you end up with 0 subpics then you know for sure that none of the is forced. It might be that the one(s) you looked at were not, but the rest is?

I mean, when remuxing the SRT back into a SUP, can it put the music notes back?

Or do you know of any other option to change E to É? Maybe if I save each line as a BMP and draw it in? That seems a little drastic however.

[drfsupercenter]

OK I found in DVDSubEdit how to make a PPM. But if I edit it, how do I put it back as a subtitle? Is there some replace sub feature?

[jeanl]

No there isn't, and what you're trying to do would be best done by OCRing all your subs and reauthoring them (using subtitle creator for example). But that's quite a bit of work...

Yeah all I wanted to do was add an accent over the E. I wanted to keep all the fonts etc the same. So I can't just "frame-hack" it and put that accent over? I copied and pasted in Photoshop to add the accent over the E in one of them.

What if I save every subtitle frame or whatever (this is a 21-min episode so it's not too many) as a PPM, could I put them back into a subtitle file? Even if it means re-timing?
