Just a quick question on tracing commands.

Example:- in

VIDEO_TS - VMGM_MAT - First Play PGC

I get the pre-command (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC :7

This takes me to:-

VIDEO_TS - VMGM_PGCI_UT - PGC-Menu 7

After editing the pre and post commands to jump to the menu first I can now bypass any copyright logos e.t.c.

My question is this, at the end of the movie after the titles have rolled the movie plays an advert for piracy and a macrovision logo, is there a way of tracing what happens next after the movie has played?

Cheers

PS: I solved the issue by looking PGC-Menu 9 which contained what happens after the movie, but I did this through a random check. I found no references to PGC-Menu 9

Boy, I still wish IFOedit had a debugger in which I can execute steps but alas, Derrow has responded it was not possible. Anyway, If you understand how jumping occurs and the GPreg value set, you have to do it manually. If I wanted to know what happens after the movie, I play the DVD in IFOedit and look in my Status window. Usually it's a Title. You can find out where that title resides in VIDEO_TS.IFO. If not, it probably resides in a PGC_# in my movie's Titleset. You can view that to confirm by clicking on it. If it's true then your commands to that PGC in / VTS_PGCITI / VTS_PGC_#.

Hope this info helps for you

You'll find what really happens after your movie in its Post Commands of it's VTS_PGC_#. From there, it's a matter of understanding where it jumps to next.

Thanks m8, I understand, just tried the same thing with another movie and got the result I was after. Problem solved. ;)

PS: Is Derrow still working on IfoEdit or has he jacked it in?
