Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - Subtitles using CLUT colors 1-4 instead of 13-16. How to fix?

Normally, the menu (using colour indexes 1-4) and the movie (using colours 13-16) are authored in different domains: a menu domain (VTSM) and a title domain (VTST). Your new subtitles use indexes 1-4, but it's theoretically not a problem because you don't need to use the same CLUT than in the VTSM domain. Therefore, if you are right and the new subtitles use really colours 1-4, just edit the 4 first colours of the CLUT in the VTST domain to suit your needs. The menu will not be affected. (You can edit the CLUT with PgcEdit or with DVDSubEdit, but to know at what index in the CLUT corresponds a specific colour of your subtitles, DVDSubEdit is easier.)

Of course, if the menu is authored with BOVs in the same VTST domain than the main movie (and therefore share the same CLUT), you can't do that without affecting the menu highlights. But using BOVs to author menus is very rare, and I'm pretty sure that it's not the case of the menus created by DVD Architect.
