Yes, you're right. There is no any PUOPs in VOBs. Also there is no according PUOPs in IFOs. Where else I can look for?

By the way, I have working right NextPG after changing PGC pointers to this (but it's strange...):

VMGM , LU 1 (ru) , 3
 NextPGCN:       3
 PrevPGCN:       3
 GoUpPGCN:       3
VMGM , LU 1 (ru) , 4
 NextPGCN:       4
 PrevPGCN:       4
 GoUpPGCN:       4

But I still can't do a time search of this PGCs...

[2COOL]

Ok, we got the PUOs factor out of the picture. Did you mock strip your VIDEO_TS?

How it works: when you open (or reopen) a DVD, the standalone executable button_dump.exe is used to search all menu VOBs of the DVD for buttons. The output of the exe is redirected to a temporary file in TEMP. Therefore, for each titleset, a file is created in the TEMP dir: pgcedit_temp_button_0.tcl for the VMGM, pgcedit_temp_button_1.tcl for VTSM1, ...

OK, if what you say is true, then I should have another tcl file created since I just deleted mine minutes ago. I have since opened up several DVDs and I still don't see one.

as I said, "the file is then deleted (I forgot I have changed this again)", so you will probably not see the new files: they are deleted almost immediately after the creation.

I understand now.

Request: Can we have a feature to select command(s), right-click, and select an option to send it to the scratchbook for appending? This would be useful for creative users. Oh, to also include button commands too.

Yes. It's easy.

What do you mean with "also include button commands too"? Do you want an option in the menu buttons viewer to send the current button command to the scratchbook?

I may be wrong, but given that your PrevPGCN and NextPGCN are pointing to the same cell that referenced them in the first place (PGC3 are all pointing to PGC3 and same with PGC4) won't it be that every time you press next chapter or previous chapter it will just take you into the same chapter? The only way out is to play the video and wait for the post command to execute.

What does 2COOL and rolz think?

@rolz

Are you planning on PgcEdit being able to actually view the various menus (like Menuedit registered version enables you to do)?

No big deal if not, it wouold just be very nice.

If the the NextPGCN is pointing to it's own PGC #, then at the last chapter, you will jump immediately to the post commands. So in VMGM PGC 3, Sajan will jump to it's own Post commands. Therefore, executing his LinkPGN 4 command.

PrevPGCN will jump to Pre commands.

What DVD and region code are you working on here?

Of course, it would be nice. But unfortunately I doesn't have the required DirectX knowledge to program this kind of stuff. I am still looking for a solution. Maybe I will find somewhere an open source player that I can adapt to use it as a preview for PgcEdit.

If a programmer is able to help me on this matter, please let me know...

Najica Blitz Tactics (episodes 1-12) (2 DVD-9, about 6,5G each), region 5.
I'm trying to reauthorize it to 3 DVD-5 without recompressing of video.

Yes, I've done mock strip - it's nothing, all the same.
Can time seraching be disabled, because this PGC is belong to VMGM menu, not a VTSM title?

Absolutely. btw, I think you mean a VTS title. VTSM is the title menu domain, and you can not time search in there either. Only title PGCs have time maps, in VTS_TMAPTI.

@mpucoder
It explains smth. Thanks)

@doom9, especially 2COOL,r0lZ,blutach
Thank for your help. I'd know much more about DVD structure and reathoring for a one week. I'm glad to have some lessons from you.

I thought we were working on a freshly ripped DVD. I didn't know you had re-authored it. So, how did you do it to 3 discs? Note: Just woke up.

First, let me start out by saying thanks for a great application. I finally got around to trying it, and I'm impressed. I can see where this will save me a lot of time over just using IfoEdit.

Now, on to the requests...

First, I'd like the ability to configure where the backup goes - including the ability to specify a relative path. (This way, I don't have to remember to delete the backup directory when burning the VIDEO_TS directory.)

Second, preview capability. I know I'm not the first to ask for this. It seems to me that this could be added by way of the Tools menu. First, PgcEdit would have to add a few extra '%' parameters that would plug in information related to the currently selected PGC (VIDEO_TS or VTS_nn; menu PGC or title PGC; and the actual numbers). Then, a simple external program that's a wrapper around calls to one of the display libraries. While not quite as integrated as IfoEdit's preview, it would solve the problem of trying to call the DirectX libraries from Tcl.

[jeanl]

the problem is writing the wrapper app around directX. I'm wondering where we could get some help for that. It's not as simple as it seems, like playing an mpeg stream (that's easy), here we need to play bits and pieces according to the navigation, and short of using direct X's DVD support (which only allows you to "play" a DVD), I'm not sure how to go about doing it simply (from looking at the Direct-X doc).
Maybe r0lZ could coordinate with jsoto on that one, since vobblanker had a nice, functioning preview...
