ISRC insertion

[redguy]

hi folks
i have a dvd project of a live show and i have to put isrc codes in each scene of a track

i'm authoring with scenarist so i can embed isrc codes but only at the beginning of the track and not in each scene.

i learned that there is a program called dvdafteredit that can embed isrc codes but there is no version for pc

the closest thing i could find to accomplish this is vobedit.
According to what i saw Isrc codes are stored in every navigation pack of each cell of each vob.
I cannot edit them all: there are plenty of navpacks distributed all along the vobs and i haven't found a way to do it automatically (like dvdafteredit supossedly does)

any hints?
thanks

Maybe I'm mistaking the purpose of the ISRC, isn't it suppose to identify each piece? And since each piece historically goes into a single track....
Quote from the ISRC handbook: Normally the authoring system used will allow an ISRC to be associated with each track.

There was a version of Markhams ProEx (Add-in to DVDLabPro2) which was said to be able to do that.
From the version on (I guess ProEx 3.60) where a member (maybe (neil)wilkes) had asked for it as an enhancement.
Unfortunately mmbforums is down (where the file was hosted) and Markham hadn't updated in quite a while.
And on my system ProEx did not work properly. I will try to dig a bit...

And I recall ISRC being inserted into every NAV_PACK indeed.
These were the first attempts to be made. A certain offset and repeated find/replace actions.

I guess that scenarist might do the right thing anyway
and would mux ISRC at least per VTS into every VOB's NAV_PACK.

thanks for the replies

yes it surely does, but what i can't do (at least not easily hah) is to assign a different isrc to each cell/scene

Of course you can, put each piece in a single track and create a PGC of a "play all" type.

@Ghitulescu
but you can put just 1 isrc on each track
in fact, the input of the isrc codes is done in the track view, just before you assign each track to a vts or to a pgc

@emulgator
i'm looking at this ProEx and it doesn't work on my system either :(

Sorry, I wanna say: put each piece in its own track :)

[redguy]

yes, that would be the ideal solution but the guy who mastered the audio won't give me each track separately, because he says that sometimes some players introduce gaps between cells by muting the dolby stream. i don't know, i never came across something like that.

bottom line: i have to deal with just one track :(

AfterEdit is the only tool I know of which will insert them at the nav pack level. I'll do it for you if you don't want to buy the tool.

Thanks you're very kind, it is not (only) a matter of money, it's because I don't have macintosh.
