Bluray Subtitle quandary

Former user wrote on 9/22/2014, 5:31 PM
I have promised delivery of a Bluray with subtitles and a menu to turn them off and on. Using DVDA5, they seem to work fine. If I select the NO Subtitle option, the video plays, if I select the Subtitle option it plays with subtitles. The problem seems to be that after I select the subtitle, if I go back to the menu and play the NO subtitle version, the subtitles stay ON. The only way I can get them off is to toggle using the remote. I have all of the OFF and ON functions connected to the buttons as I understand it to work. Has anybody else run into this?

I have Adobe Encore CS3, but even though it allows you to create subtitles in a Bluray project, the software does not support the output of subtitles to a bluray so is totally worthless in this case.

Any other suggestions?
Thanks

DaveT2 - believe it or not this has been covered extensively over the years - most likely under subtitle needs in DVDArchitect forum. Mostly this is about how to setup your disc to play with initiiation of the autoplay to intro video or a menu. I can't say what will be a shortcut to understanding this - but keep in mind that you have to set a default state for the hardware - and not knowing the hardware (which will be random with blind clients) - then you have a problem.
One thing that I discovered while reverse engineering commercial releases to understand what they do - I found a default state was set for disk play by building a blank subtitle track for this disc. Keep in mind that there must be the same number of subtitle tracks for each video segment...so if you introduce a blank track to start - it must occur in all media elements of the disc.

Okay, I do remember something about that. I will try the blank track.

Thanks for the reminder.

I tried the trial version of TMPGenc DVD works, but there is not enough flexibility in menu creation. I need total custom on that, but the subtitle part seems to work.
