Bug: Store PgcEdit_backup in the DVDs root folder instead of VIDEO_TS

the backup is put in the parent folder even if there is no VIDEO_TS folder

Thanks, selyb.
Will do the fixes...

PgcEdit 0.5.7 beta 2 available

I have tried to fix some display problems when running PgcEdit under Mac. There are also some minor fixes.

F. Fixed some english grammar/vocabulary errors.
F. When the option "Store backup folder in parent of VIDEO_TS folder" is ON, the backup folder is saved now in the parent only if the DVD files are in a VIDEO_TS subdirectory.
F. Some display problems on Macintosh platforms (default font size...) are now hopefully fixed.

This option is not working for me (in 0.5.7 b1 or b2 - no not the bananas blu, the beta's). Anyone else tried it ?

I've tried:

opening DVD's by right clicking on .IFO and choosing open with PgcEdit.
opening PgcEdit and then opening DVD straight away.
making PgcEdit the default program when opening IFO's (instead of WinDVD)
turning on/off various other new options and BOV scanner in case of conflict.
3 different DVD's (one with LU differences due to previous work in PgcEdit, one with Blank VOB's giving warning and offer of delete, and one without any other opening issues).
expert mode to avoid the "DVD opened OK x VTS loaded" dialog box.

Can't think of anything else specific to try that might pin down the issue.

r0lZ · 20th May 2005, 15:03

Right. It doesn't work if you open a DVD by calling PgcEdit from the Windows explorer with an IFO or BUP file as argument.

However, it works if you set the 'Launch Open DVD dialog at startup' option, and then launch PgcEdit alone. You have to load a DVD from the file/folder dialog that pops-up when PgcEdit starts.

I will see if I can add an option to enable trace mode when starting PgcEdit with an argument...

[EDIT:] Done. Was easy to do. I forgot the case of the DVD opened from the command line. The fix will be available with the final version.

zacoz · 20th May 2005, 15:28

Ah yes, now I see it works. I didn't think about it being dependant upon the "Launch open DVD dialog at statup" option.

It's probably not unreasonable, however I've found lately that it's more efficient (or seems so) if I have windows explorer open and use the context menu to open the DVD in PgcEdit. It allows for quick jumping back and forward to a number of directories, tools and player for testing. Having said that PgcEdit remembers the last directory, therefore it's more the other programs that benefit from opening from windows explorer context menu.

What....already !!!!
Hope you're fitting some non-PgcEdit time in somewhere. We don't want to burn you out.

selyb · 20th May 2005, 19:48

may i ask why the install options are not present when pgcedit isnt exe-wrapped?

r0lZ · 20th May 2005, 20:23

Because almost all options in the install submenu do use a special library (called package in Tcl terminology) to read and write some registry keys. This package is included in the freeWrapped exe under Windows, but is not included by default in the standard Tcl/Tk distribution, and I don't want to ask the user to install it just to install PgcEdit easily!

I found this tidbit information. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...ht=macrovision. But I think r0lZ may not venture into this arena as he doesn't do deep work on the VOBs. I think.

Right. It's a job for a VOB processor (VobBlanker?).
@selyb: Why do you want that? Anyway, when you rip the DVD with DVD Decrypter, macrovision should be removed.

r0lZ · 21st May 2005, 11:25

PgcEdit 0.5.7 beta 3 released.

Yet another beta, mainly for Mac users running Tk-Aqua.

F. Error when blanking a titleset when the preview window is open fixed.
F. "Save IFOs as" saved the modified VOBs also (in the original folder).
F. Fixed more display problems under Mac and Tk-Aqua.

I dont use dvddecrypter usually, but the method i use does remove macrovision
i had the impression (from something i read somewhere) that macrovision is only a bit at a hex offset that could simply be set to 0 or 1

selyb · 21st May 2005, 22:15

hehe, i could post requests all day

these should be easy tho

request: bind Ctrl+Del to Blank All Menus/Titles

request: show hotkeys in popup menu

2COOL · 22nd May 2005, 00:00

I think I brought this up before but can we have an angle column in PGC Editor? If would give the user an obvious indication which cells hold which angle.

How about a cell times file? e.g.

13721
23081
28166
34406
42446
52001
66971
80981
86561
94466
103781
115496
130151
136646
143681
152996
170703
170718

or a built in Chapter X-tractor?

@selyb

- Macrovision: right, the program to remove macrovision is verry easy to do, but I don't want to go to this direction. PgcEdit is essentially an IFO editor. Maybe you could ask this to the guy who wrote the program to change the PUOs in VOBs? Should be easy to add this option. Also, that may be easily added in VobBlanker (but less efficient, since it will copy the VOBs).

- Ctrl-Del: OK.

- Shortcuts in popups: OK.

@2COOL

Celltimes.txt: relatively easy to do. I'll probably add this function.
I don't rememebr what Chapter X-Tractor is supposed to do exactly. Could you explain?

zacoz · 22nd May 2005, 11:38

Angle column would be cool (no pun intended). It's slightly annoying having to load up DVD into another program to check for them.

blutach · 22nd May 2005, 12:10

@zacoz - confused. It's easy to see if the disk has angles. Just look in the PGC Editor at the cell type flags.
