Is there anyway to have a corresponding chapter entry automatically removed from the Chapter (PTT) Table when you remove a cell? I usually like to clean up the dvd by removing the cells after blanking with VobBlanker.
For example: I have a dvd with: VTST 6, 1 VTST 6, 2 . . . VTST 6, 60. Each one has 20 cells and 20 chapters. It's easy to delete the range of cells 60 times. But it is time consuming (and painful) to press the chapter delete button 1,140 times (19 x 60). For so many cells, I usually don't bother to remove them. But I was wondering if there is anyway to automatically edit the chapter table. |

No, sorry. The chapter table is a totally different table than the cell table, and therefore it is not easy to guess what to do without user intervention.

The bug you reported in points 5-7 is fixed in v8.0 beta 2. (I was using the same method to clear the unused streams for the title and the menu domains, but as they are only one subpic and one audio streams in the menu domain, the following bytes were overwritten! ) Thanks for your important bug report!

Blu, the problem is with non-sequential PGCs, where the following chapters can be in another PGC. But I agree that I could test this situation. Will have a look...

It is indeed illegal to mix PAL and NTSC in the same DVD, although some players support that. My old Sony has no problem playing such DVDs.
BTW, what to do with the domain streams attributes of a non-existing menu is still unclear. The Philips Verifier complains if the menu is not present and the stream attributes are not completely filled with zeroes, but it complains also with a PAL DVD when the non-existing menu is declared as NTSC. Since it is necessary to set a non-zero value in domain streams attributes to declare it as PAL, the verifier complains always when a menu is not present in a PAL DVD! IIRC, when PgcEdit creates a new domain, it uses the standard found in the title domain of the first VTS, or the VMGM. But maybe there is a bug here. BTW, do you have that problem with all DVDs, or only with the DVDs without a FP-PGC? Can you send me the IFOs of a DVD without FP-PGC?

The Philips verifier is obviously wrong, but nobody knows exactly when! Anyway, it is legal to have VTSs without menus.
There was indeed some problems with the frame rate of the dummy PGC after using New Menu or the automatic creation of the FP-PGC. It's fixed now. However, what you said is strange, as the PAL frame rate was forced on NTSC DVDs, but seems your problem was the opposite. I don't need the IFOs. It was easy to simulate a DVD without FP-PGC with IfoEdit. PgcEdit v8.0 beta 3 is almost ready. Please use it if you want to test that problem again.

I believe r0lZ is referring to http://www.licensing.philips.com/ser...ments1048.html - seems to be running at US$500 atm.

Huh, just a bit too late! I've just released beta 3 with a fix for this problem.
So, I should replace the null timing in 25 or 30 FPS in all dummies by a null timing without fps specification? Right? Seems strange, as I have never seen that in a commercial DVD.

What do you mean with "null timing ....."? You wont find it in commercial DVDs. There is always video-, audio content in all menu domains (even if they are unreferenced as in Maestro DVDs) to ensure segregation of IFO and BUP Edit: Just tested beta3 Now its incorrect, created a DVD from scratch (PAL) without content in VMGM and byte 0x100 shows 20480 This entry is only valid if a VOB with this attributes is present Last edited by bigotti5; 6th December 2006 at 14:00. |

Sorry, I mean null PGC duration. A dummy PGC has a duration of 0:00:00.00, but at a specific PAL or NTSC frame rate. Right?
My cheap XiRON recorder creates a VMGM menu without any VOB but with PAL (or NTSC, I suppose) video attributes. But I have to admit that it is really not a good example, as it's probably the worst authoring ever! I have never understood why there are menu VOBs in the commercial DVDs, as they don't need that to segregate the IFOs and BUPs, except in the VMGM. The title VOBs are sufficient. Anyway, they are some DVDs without VTS_XX_0.VOB, but I think I have only seen that in ARccOS or RipGuard protected VTS. I have to verify with PgcEfit v7 if everything is normal when the user creates the first cell in a menu domain, as I'm not sure it updates correctly the video attributes. If it's the case, I'll revert to that. It's annoying, though, as the frame rate of the new PGCs created by PgcEdit are probably determined by the video streams attributes of the current domain. It might create dummies with the wrong frame rate in a PAL DVD. Anyway, thanks for the precision!

Byte 0x04 in PGC description For the first play (cant have content) in PAL is always 64 (0x40) and for NTSC 192 (0xC0) To the video attrinbutes 0 in byte 0x100 does not indicate MPEG1, NTSC, 4:3, PS, Letterboxed etc, it indicates "no VOB present" Just look at the represented values You will never get 0 with a VOB present, because 4:3 and PS/Letterbox not possible together, 720x480 and MPEG 1 not possible together and so on Last edited by bigotti5; 6th December 2006 at 17:33. |
