    I have a SUP subtitle file that will open in SubtitleCreator, but will not save from SubtitleCreator. Is there another program that will edit SUP files?

    I could save edited .sup files OK using Subtitle Creator, but I could never resolve the colour problems with the subs.

    If only a few subpics are to be changed, you could use DVDSubEdit.
    What you do is select the video frame that the sub appears on and save it as a .bmp file.
    Edit the .bmp and replace the existing text with the new text.
    You have to match the font and size as closely as possible - but it's hardly noticeable as the movie plays.
    Reload the new .bmp and drag text to correct screen location.


    My original notes:
    File > Open Full Domain (the first VOB)
    Select the subpic stream (top right)
    Select individual subpic using the slider under the display window.
    File > Save current subpic as bitmap.
    Keep DVDSubEDit open

    Open and edit bitmap in MS Paint and save as new bitmap

    File > Replace current subpic with .BMP file
    Adjust subpic location on screen
    Edit > Apply last modifications.

    Repeat for subsequent subpics.

    Test subs using player.
    When saving the final changes, there is no undoing them.
    File > Save all modifications

    The black screen becomes transparent when reloaded in DVDSubEdit.

    This is what the new subpic looks like.

    The colour fixing is the only reason I use the program (2.3 does not work for this, but 2.2 does fine).

    I remuxed the subtitle file with a long video file and re-split. The new file worked just fine.
