View Full Version : 27 PGC, 2 of them share a VOD-ID: how to handle this movie?

Hello,

Here is how my DVD is: 27 PGC, and almost all of them use a unique VOB-ID.

However, the last two ones uses the same VOB-ID
PGC 26 uses VOB-ID 26, cell 1
PGC 27 uses VOB-ID 26, cell 2

I first tried to demux normally (not demux by VOB-ID), but at the end, Scenarist complained that those two last PGCs do not have the same attributes than the reference PGC (which is PGC 1, as I understood).
Here is the reason: the reference PGC has 2 subtitles streams, but PGC 26 and 27 only have one subtitle stream, so teh structure is not the same.

This is my first attempt to backup a DVD using the BIG3 guide, and I admit I'm a bit lost here. My feeling is that this case shouldn't be complicated, but I don't have enough experience yet.

Could you please explain me hwo I should handle it?

Note: PGC1 is the main movie, PGCs 2 to 25 are used for menus, and PGC 26 and 27 are bonuses (cut scenes). Quite a surprising DVD to me! I wonder how they made it. But I'd really liek to succeed doing this "challenge", as an encouraging start :-)

Thanks a lot!

This subtitle problem you have should be easy enough to solve: just use a dummy subtitle to make those pgcs the same as the others. The way you describe it it should be possible to do a pgc demux BTW

About the other PGCs: if those are menus you certainly have quite a challenge at hand. This is going to involve button over video and lots of manual authoring I think.

Good luck.

influenza,

Thanks a lot. I thought about using dummy subtitles, but I though I certainly did not get the good idea lol I also admit I don't know yet how to do :-) Until now, I never really did authoring. I just experienced with basic things.

Indeed, video is used for the menus... Let's hope I'll manage to do it :-) But it seems it's much more work than I thought. Let's see the bright part of it: I'll probably learn a lot.
