PgcEdit v0.2.
[EDIT: PgcEdit v7.0 has been released. See this thread.]
PgcEdit v 0.2 is here! See the version history for the new features list. Download PgcEdit here. Thanks to everybody at Doom9 forum for your encouragements, and for helping me improve and debug PgcEdit! The current PgcEdit version is discussed here: PgcEdit 0.5 Old PgcEdit discussion threads: Last edited by r0lZ; 22nd April 2006 at 10:39. |

thanx m8, u're a star
looking at the version history it show it up to 0.1.3, is that the same as 0.2 or do u need to add to this? like these 2 features: A. New "Set PGC Menu Type" utility: set Title, Root, Audio... menu type. A. Browsing the PGC selector with the keyboard (up and down keys) now automatically update the current PGC and display it in the main window. and the rest i guess i will mess about a bit to find out what they are thanx again |

There was indeed a mismatch in the version number.
I have changed my mind in the last minute because I think there was enough new features to call it v 0.2. But I forgot to change the number in the history. This is fixed now. You may download a new v0.2.0 on my homepage, but this is really a waste of time: nothing has changed except the version number in the history! Last edited by r0lZ; 24th June 2004 at 19:22. |

Many thanks for this great tool. From now I'll never
feel blind when doing more complex stuff with dvds. The info->dvd commands option is somewhat helpfull - all commands in one document. Now I'm dreaming of a import function for commands to avoid button clicks. Is it possible when lets say import file has same layout of your dvd commands output? |

It is actually possible to export and import commands via the Scratchbook and copy/paste operations.
Or you can run PgcEdit twice, and copy/paste from one PgcEdit to the other. Is it what you need? Or maybe I misunderstand you, and you want to modify the DVD dump with a text editor and reimport it? To do that, I will need to write a parser for the DVD text commands, with a lot of errors checks. Sounds difficult. But it's a good idea, for a programmer having some time to spend... I'm affraid this will not be me. |

Hi,
I've tried to install your program but I get this error:"Error sourcing /Tcl/work/PGCEDIT/PgcEdit.tcl: can not find channel named "unable to open key: The system cannot find the file specified." I put PgcEdit.exe in my Ifoedit directory. I got this same error with the earlier v0.1 version too. What do I need to do? Crusher |

Rookie solution: Associate .IFO and .BUP files manually: right-click on a .IFO file and select "open with", then locate PgcEdit (or IfoEdit) and do the association. Do the same thing with .BUP files. If it doesn't work, there is the expert solution: Open RedEdit (select the Windows Start/Run menu and type RegEdit), then expand HKEY_CLASS_ROOT. Click on the folder named ".ifo", and take a look at what is displayed in the right pane. If the value is not set, you will see "(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)", and you have probably located the problem. Right-click on the same .ifo icon, and select Delete. Do the same for the .bup folder (if it exists). I am a little bit surprised that you still have this error with PgcEdit v0.2, because I have tried to fix it. But the offending DLL is not writed by me, so the bugfix is only a workaround. It is working for me, but apparently still not working in all cases! Does one of the above solution works for you? What was the value of the .ifo and .bup keys? What OS are you using? Please take me informed. |

Sorry. I am working on a solution, but it is difficult for me te be sure that it will work, because I don't have the problem here, and can't recreate it.
Anyway, I am adding some new enhancements to PgcEdit, and I will release a new version in some days. I hope this time it will work for you. If it doesn't, there is also the heavy solution: download Tcl/Tk and install the sources of PgcEdit. This solution is working for sure. |

I can confirm that the "...can not find channel named" bug during start-up is fixed for me. I had this problem with all earlier versions on my home PC (but it worked fine at work ).
EDIT: Would it be difficult to link a cell to a different VOB ID? Could this be included in PgcEdit? E.g. in VTS_PGC_1 I have Cell_22 which is currently linked to VOB ID 14 but I would like to link it to VOB ID 17. $ Last edited by $$$; 28th June 2004 at 16:28. |

My previous try (with IfoEdit) in this sense was to use the same VOB ID for all credits chapters of a multi-episode DVD. This was working fine on a computer, but the search and FF/REW functions were not working correctly on a settop player. I suppose that this was due to the VTS_C_ADT table not matching the new VOB ID. I will do some new tries in this way, but it will take some time: must burn a DVD for each test. Thanks again for such 'high level' suggestions. edit: If somebody reading this may explain exactly how to do this kind of stuff, I would appreciate. Last edited by r0lZ; 28th June 2004 at 18:48. |

Great program. it took me 2 minutes to do something that would have taken me an hour. wow. I guess the more i learn about PGC commands the more i will be amazed about this app. Just one suggestion(if it is possible) i noticed if there is a line with a {goto line X} and you single click it will hight the line that the command refers too. So i was thinking, it would be nice to single click command like JumpSS VTS1:Root Menu and have it jump/link to that PGC. this will just save sometime and make sure that i'm going to the right PGC too. thanks but still a great program.

Just getting to know PgcEdit 2. Love the Cmd editor, exactly what I wanted for a long time. Completed with full cmd builder, references, and rules it's a beautiful thing, thank you, thank you, thank you
A question: what is the meaning of the '+' marker?. And a wish: could you add a one-click feature to convert Post cmd to Pre cmd in the PGC Editor? that would be a perfecto addition, whilst it takes many steps in IfoEdit. And if you dont mind my suggestions, the button rows look a little overwheming as most functions alrealy availble in the right-click context menu. And maybe a VTS treeview, color-coded sections, resizable display panes in the future? But even without them, I can see myself using the tool a lot. Thank you for making this tool available free to us wannabe DVD backup editor |

Of course, I can highlight the relevant PGC label in the PGC selector, or use another mouse button. Maybe in next release... |

Note: if you are doing that to inhibit the PGC playback, then you may use the 'Kill PGC playback' menu: it will not copy the commands, but jump directly to the post commands, skipping the playback. And the Break pre-commands are automatically handled. Try it! Quote:

Color coded sections is indeed a good idea, but I prefer to spend time for most useful features... You can't resize the PGC Selector pane because it is auto-resizable! However, you may toggle it with a single right-click on the "PGC" menubutton. |
