Subtitles won't turn off.

[milchad]

After copying some of my DVDs using DVDFab 5 and watching them in MP, all of the sudden subtitles are showing up and I can't turn them off. (They weren't there yesterday, and I haven't changed any settings in MP). I can turn subtitles on, and then I have two sets of subtitles, one on top of the other. Yellow text is on top of white text when I turn subtitles on in MP. How do I get rid of the white text subtitles? BTW, if I watch the movie using other software like Windows Media, no subtitles appear. Any help is much appreciated.

If anybody is having the same issues, what worked for me is that I went to MP config and chaned my video and audio decoders. Subtitles went away once I selected different ones.

Maybe you can tell me which codecs you used before and which ones you are using now?
I reported similar things here
Thanks.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but I turned 5.1 audio off in the MP setup and used Cyberlink video codecs. I didn't post my codecs because other users might not have the same ones. I need to double check to see if it was the codec that helped or turning off 5.1 audio. I'll check and post back later.

My guess is that you used FFDShow with the subs turned on...

Nope.
I'm using Cyberlink Power DVD Ultra 7.3.

I have over 5 or 6 video codecs, including cyberlink. I've turned off 5.1, switched every codec , both audio and
video around to every combination and I the subtitles are still there. I will agree with grubi, I do have a few of my
dvds copied in whole have no subtitles, but 95% of my collection is just the "main body", and have the subtitles.
Is there something in the movie folders I could go in and delete? Any help will be appreciated.

Of course you can.
I will try to keep it short (what means that I don't go into detail what all these steps are about exactly).

1.) Download a tool from the internet called pgcEdit.
2.) Select the menu item "File -> Open DVD"
3.) Select the folder where your VIDEO_TS folder resides.
4.) On the left navigation box select the entry "VTST1,1" for a movie where you copied only the main title set.
5.) You should see a "pre command" (SetSTN) on the right window side.
6.) Double click that.
7.) In the new window you find a section labeled "Sub-picture"
8.) There select the radio button "set-to" and uncheck the checkbox labeled "on"
9.) Select OK.
10.) Now you sould see that the pre command(SetSTN) contains "Set sub-picture stream = 0, off".
11.) Select the menu item "File -> Save DVD"

Done.

HTH.

That sounds like something I can do. Thanks for the
detailed instructions.

[tvmanmarv]

Your instructions are very good but I ran into a problem. I downloaded pgcEdit, followed
your instructions, but when I got to the last step where you "save Dvd" I saw a quick message
flash by from the program then the Microsoft message "encountere an error and must close" appeared
the the program shut down. The program responded exactly as you described. I realize that the problem
is with pgcEdit and my installtion of WinXP Professional. I had upgraded to service pact 3 and thought
that might be the problem so I uninstalled sp3 and went back to sp2. There might be some I am doing wrong
but up to the last step, every thing works like you said. I open the dvd folder, it scans the dvd, I close that
window, then I follow the steps, the "save dvd" then the error.


Thanks
