Multi PGC / Adjusted Cell Mode IFOUPDATE

[Harm]

Hi!

I am trying to get a DVD authored which has several multi PGCs that contain the same information.
DIF4U helps me in this by just selecting the last PGC in the VTS.
So far so good.

At the end I wanna use IFOUPDATE in Adjusted Cell Mode to "repair" the PGC entries.
If I leave the auto selection of DIF4U unchanged I encounter this problem:
As Scenarist creates a dummy entry (which contain 1 cell) for those PGCs not selected and the original PGCs do have more than 1 cell I run into this error: "The new IFO file has more cells than the original" and the processing aborts. I have to use ACM here because when I don't the newly authored cell count gets copied over and I loose the menuprograms.

If I change the selection of DIF4U to PGC01 the other PGCs are not created by Scenarist and thus discarded by IFOUPDATE in the cell count test and so the PGCs are correctly filled.

Should IFOUPDATE be changed or am I doing something wrong?

I use IFOUPDATE 0.78

Yes I think so.
You must recreate the PGC in Scenarist on your own.
Try to open the original IFO in IFOUpdate and use "Display Original IFO Layout" feature.
Then recreate the PGC following exactly what shown and then create layout (in Scenarist) and update the IFO using ACM like suggested in the Doom9's guide "The Big3 way for Finding Nemo" (i traslated it for Italian Doom9).

You must set all cells as shown in the Original IFO Layout to make it work correctly.

Tools that can help you in this are:
- ChapterExtractor;
- SceneImport Plugin (I found it somewhere in the forum , don't remember where).

Hope I helped you.

Thanks for trying to help. I'll have a look at that guide.

But I found out that when you delete all dummy PGCs in Scenarist the authored IFO only has 1 PGC numbered PGC01.
You can then use adjusted cell mode! It works (as long as the cell count of the original and authored version are the same.....).
