Dvd subtitles are transparent

When I play a dvd on my laptop, the subtitles are transparent. I can barely see them.
I downloaded another program to play dvd's and had the same problem with the subtitles. So I'm assuming this is a setting.
I put the dvd in my G5 and was able to see nice white titles. Both computer (G4 & G5) have the same OS, and the same version of "dvd player". The only difference is I have QT version 7 on the computer with the problem, and version 6 on the computer that shows the subtitles.
Does anyone know if this is a setting in Quicktime?
Any advise would be appreciated.

Subtitles are too complex.

I' am making a DVD using all image files from CaptionMax. See post from yesterday:
stevenl, "Image Subtitles." #1, 10 Apr 2006 4:34 pm
Anyway in just a test of the whole subtitle thing I only imported 1 subtitle track and tried to burn a folder and/or image file and got a message telling me that my one track is too complex. I'm going to need seven more, so if you think it's complex now??? All I did is set my first play to Timeline 1 with the one track set to display. Now, I have another timeline in the project that I set as the end action of the first with its track set to display. Can there be an issue in that the two timelines are different aspects 1 is 16x9 and 2 is 4x3?
I don't think that my problem should be anything related to this thread:
ivansull, "EncoreDVD 2.0 Subtitles" #10, 21 Mar 2006 10:46 pm
since my subtitles are all index .tif files that are already as small as they're going to get. I've also used these type of files in our Sonic DVD Fusion system many times and never had this kind of issue.
I've read about other Encore issues with subtitles, but most of them seem related to text subtitles, what issues (if any) are there with image files?
Thanks,
Steven

Steven,
The "too complex" error is probably the one mentioned in post #5 of the "EncoreDVD 2.0 Subtitles" thread. This is not an Encore issue, but a limitation set by the DVD-Video specification. It doesn't matter whether the subtitles are imported via a text script or as bitmap images; if any (horizontal) line exceeds 1440 bits it exceeds the spec maximum.

The subtitles are too tall and skinny (4 lines) and separate words

Whenever I watch a show and I have the subtitles on they will be in the bottom centere and take up sometimes 4 lines up into my screen and seperate words
Example:
Inexu
sable!

Subtitles are cut in iTunes 11.1.3

Dear list members, since I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mavericks, there is a trouble with iTunes (11.1.3). When I play I movie in normal screen, the subtitles are shown correctly. But when I go full screen, the second line is always cut. I saw other users with the same problem here, but the proposed solutions didn't work for me (for instance, creating a custom format for substitles with transparent background). Could you please help me?

That's probably because your iMac or MacBook doesn't have a secondary GPU.
On my MacBook Pro (Retina model, early 2013) I see this pane:

Subtitles are confused- need help

Hi,
I build a DVD project which contains 8 languages,and also 8 subtitles. (turkish english chinese, japanese, korean, arabic and farsian)
I created a subtitle selection menu for all 8 languages, and specified links for setting subtitles, as always.
There are 10 chapter buttons in each "chapters menu", and when I click a chapter (after selecting a subtitle language from any "subtitles menu" previously,) it works fine, subtitles are working very well depending my selections. By the dvd players remote, it's same, everything looks fine.I select japanese, Japanese subtitles are on, English, It's on, no problem at all.
But,
There is a chapter play list also, which contains sequential chapters, playing chapters in turn.
When I select "play all" button which selects that chapter play list, things are going wrong. Chapters starting to play in correct order, but subtitles are confusing!
For example if I select English, subtitle become German. If I select Chinese, become Arabic, Korean, etc. Subtitles are completely chaotic.
I couldn't find any solution or adjustment from helps or internet, so anyone can help me please?
Thanks

Thank you first of all,
I tried, but there are chapters on the timeline and after the first chapter, it returns to the last menu.
I think the best way is to get rid of that useless play-all button..
Btw, "playlist" option seems working seamlessly, instead of chapter playlist..
I think the case closed:)

Subtitles are not getting displayed while playing movies

Hi,
Recently I have upgraded with Max OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. After this upgrade whenever I play movies in my VLC player, I am getting a message as "freetype: failed to load font file /System/Library/Fonts/LucidaGrande.dfont" and then the subtitles are not displayed.
Can someone advise how to resolve it? I tried to download LucidaGrande.dfont from internet. But I couldnt find one. Please help.
Thanks.
Ravi

Hello, Ravi & welcome to the forums.
Lucida Grande is included with Mac OS X.
Check and validate all of your fonts with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Search for Lucida Grande to be sure it was properly installed. Find and remove duplicates as well.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
Finally, be sure all the apps you are using are compatible with SnowLeopard. Check with their authors for updates.

HT5287 If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?

If DVD Movies, Audio CD's and even burning CD and DVD's are not supported, what is the point of DVD & CD Sharing then? Wouldn't it just be better to remote in or use a thumb drive if it's only able to be used for data transfer?
Or am I missing the bigger picture?

As long as you have a Superdrive or an external burner/drive, burning, watching, installing, etc. from CD or DVD will work just fine. And so will sharing.

How do I add a second layer mask to turn more areas transparent?

I can't get this to work, and I haven't been able to find a post specifically for this question. I applied a layer mask to a photograph to take out part of the background, that is, make it transparent. I would like to add several more masks to make more areas transparent. But when I add a second mask, it hides the first one, and the first one hides it. If I turn off either level, and I can see the transparent portion for the other level, but when both layers are visible, all of the transparent sections are covered.
It seems to be there ought to be a simple way to do this. Perhaps it is possible to combine all the selected transparency layers into one mask?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Best -- Cat

Thanks, Scott! I'm not exactly sure how to use groups, but this is a good reason to figure it out.
I also figured out a kludgy way to do it. I make transparent the part of one layer that is blocking the transparency of the others. As long as I don't have a lot of layers do to that way, it works okay. It's a pain, though.
Thanks for the help!

I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?

All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

HT1583 What blank DVD disks are compatible with burning a film from Idvd on an applemac?

I have just finalized a project in imovie and this message came up on the screen - "Your project exceeds the maximum duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the project info window".
I have changed the encoder setting from best fit to Professional but I am having burning the film to a dvd. The computer tells me to load a dvd or my driver is busy - which it isn't it only has a blank dvd disk in it. So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
HELP!

Hi
So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
And if You tell - what brand and type You are trying to use - I will be so much easier !
But most often the problem is
• Do NOT - insert the DVD disk before iDVD specifically as You to do this. As Desktop will catch it and try to format it as a Data-DVD - Not what You want (a Video-DVD) as Data-DVD can not be played on standard DVD-players.
To get it even better I do
• Use Verbatim - Never Memorex or NoName etc cheap brands (as they don't work OK for Me)
• DVD-R - as they play on even older DVD-players
• Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 MAX ! - Best IS NOT BEST at all here !

When plugging in my iPhone to my PC, I get message "The registry settings used by Itunes drivers for importing and burning CD'd and DVD's are missing..." Can I uninstall and reinstall the iTunes app without losing all the tunes I've purchased/loaded?

many thanks.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
