Still on Subtitles ...

I've finished a project with subtitles, yellow text on a semi-transparent black background.

The DVD is largely for vision impaired people, and the client has enquired whether I can also put in black subtitles on an almost opaque white background, as some vision impaired people prefer this.

I said I'd look into it, and have added a second subtitle track .... but, because subtitles use Color Set No.4, changing the colours in the second S/T track also changes the colours in the first track.

It looks like this is a limitation of the DVD format, unless there's a way to assign a different color set to a particular subtitle track.

Any ideas if this is possible?

EDIT - found it! Under the "Subtitle Event" panel which appears when you select a subtitle, you can nominate which color set is used - great!
