@smoof - Not a tool but a workaround for these annoying stuff you normally want to bypass in the beginning of a DVD. The idea is to capture the state of this kind of DVD at the point you actually want it to be started and then use First Play PGC to create exactly that state. In more detail,
Play your DVD in IfoEdit until you reach the main movie (assuming you want to autoplay it in the future). You can set your desired audio track and subtitle as well.
Expand the IfoEdit "DVD Play" window to display the GP register values and note all down which are not equal to zero.
Now open the DVD in PGCEdit and go to the First-Play PGC. In case you have any conditional commands here it will be more diffult but let's assume there are none.
Replace all precommands with the following,
- set all GP registers to match the values you have noted down
- set preferred audio track and subtitle (if required)
- add a Jump Title to the main movie (the title# displayed in IfoEdit "DVD Play")
Don't forget to save and replay it in IfoEdit to check whether it works. If not, PGCEdit already created a backup directory for you..
If it doesn't work there might be some conflicting pre commands assigned to your main movie title. This can normally be easily "corrected" there.
You can use the following PGCEdit scratchbook I created for that purpose.
Code:
{* scratchbook}
{71 00 00 00 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 01 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 02 00 00 00 00}
{71 00 00 03 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 04 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 05 00 00 00 00}
{71 00 00 06 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 07 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 08 00 00 00 00}
{71 00 00 09 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 0B 00 00 00 00}
{71 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 0D 00 00 00 00} {71 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00}
{71 00 00 0F 00 00 00 00} {51 00 00 80 80 00 00 00} {30 02 00 00 00 01 00 00}
Just copy/paste the above into notepad and save it with .sbk extension, eg. FirstPlay.sbk. Open that scratchbook in PGCEdit, copy/paste these commands to First Play PGC and do the necessary adjustments.
