But it is much simpler. Use PgcEdit, and look at the shown values before and after burning! |

In my first, second, and third example, I think all are L0=2,092,896sectors, and L0 sectors aren't decreased in second example. I think this L0(shown in DVDDecryoter) doesn't mean the maximum on L0, and means to where burned on L0, so this value differs each DVD. I think what is decreased is sectors from VIDEO_TS.IFO. [add]the Image I have is like below. Last edited by jinjin_jp; 29th June 2005 at 16:31. |

Well, I really don't understand why this value of 2,092,896 sectors should have something magic. Seems it's aproximatively the size of a -R layer. But I don't think it's a good idea to push the data to the outer edge of the disc, as this part is more often subject to errors.
Also, I agree with frank. All informations available on the net are the same: it is not needed to fill L0 completely. If it is really needed to do strange things like that to burn a DVD-R DL, I think I will not support -Rs anymore! I don't want to encourage people to use the -R technology while the +R is available, and is obviously superior. Of course, I may change my mind later, when -R DLs will be available here to test both methods. Anyway, jinjin_jp, thanks for your investigations, and for your translations in english!

From what I have read. DVD-R DL is less supported than DVD+R DL (Verbatim in the test). It was in the review of my Pioneer 109 writer. IT was found that not mnay players or even drives could read the discs. Even, my LG 4040 which doesn't support reading and writing of a DL+R or DL-R can read a DVD ROM DL+R.
Even though my Pioneer 109 supports -R DL. I won't be using it. I went from DVD+ to DVD- with single layer discs but will stick with DVD+R DL. |

short question at the beta 16...
In the Burn DVD dialog -> Cell list window (setting the LB), the preview doesn't work for a non-seamless cell any more. With me, the preview works only at the seamless cells. Changes the non-seamless cell into a seamless cell, the preview doesn't work either. Something was changed here or does anybody have an idea? |

No, Tobi. Nothing has changed since beta 15, except the default number of sectors in DVD-R DL. Obviously, it's not the problem.
Have you tried to launch the preview on the same cell from the PGC Editor's cell list? Do you have the same problem with another DVD?

I have tried four different DVDs now. I have the problem at everybody.
Under Preview Menu -> Automatically start Preview Playback...is switched on. The preview for the cell in question, doesn't work in the PGC Editor -> cell list. The preview works for any cell, which has a seamless flag(8). I start the preview for cell 19 (cell type flag=2 and LB), preview window opens -> no preview playback here and the functions above are inactive. (look at the snapshot) In the Burn DVD dialog, it is just the same. Preview window opens -> no preview playback here and the functions above are inactive. I go backward tomorrow ... beta 15 -> beta14->beta13 etc.. and then wanting to test. |

Hum, strange.
I've just found a similar problem with Matrix (Z2 Fr), but an error message appear: "Couldn't locate sector 1343176 !". But note that my original rip of Matrix has some realloc problems with Nero, even if I remove the empty VOBs. Note that the problem CANNOT come from a modification in one of the 0.6.0 betas. The PgcEditPreview.exe has not been modified, nor the method to launch it, at least from the PGC Editor's cells list. Maybe it's something you have installed recently that cause the problem?

Well, I have mock stripped Matrix. Same problem.
Seems it is exactly the same problem as yours (the error message appear only when running PgcEdit in debug mode.) I have emailed jeanl to let him know. It's probably a bug in PgcEditPreview.exe.

(Note that removing the STC falg in the IFO is not a solution: the Preview exe don't use the IFOs at all.)

1) I've tested a backup with 6 titles.
In every title set the first cell has STC discontinuity but no seamless flag. No problem with preview! May be PgcEditPreview.exe has an issue. If Jeanl used DVD2AVI as source then I remember there is a GOP bug that produces frame lost. It's better to change to DGIndex. Neuron2 can help when some CLI changes needed. More in the DGIndex f.a.q. 2) PgcEdit blocks the Burn DVD Menu when you test a DVD from drive and not from HD backup. Usually comes the message that it can't create the backup folder, ok. When you start the Burn DVD / Create ISO menu you'll get an application error: Tested DVD (PCgo 4/2005) also has some DVD-ROM content. Strange. Last edited by frank; 30th June 2005 at 12:25. |

What do you mean exactly with "PgcEdit blocks the Burn DVD Menu"? Is it the same problem as the error message? I have just tried to launch the Burn function from a DVD drive, and it worked, although slowly. The Layer Break selection dialog opened successfully. Anyway, you cannot burn directly from a read-only filesystem, since PgcEdit needs to write the new VTS sector pointers in the IFOs before launching mkisofs. So, if you accept the dialogs, you will have an error message, and the burn process will stop.

It was the same problem. The File -> Burn DVD / Create ISO windows didn't start, only the error message was shown.
The DVD with "Message in a Bottle" comes from a computer magazine and has much DVD-ROM directories. I never had this error. Does the DVD-ROM content disturb the routine dvd_rom_size_subdir? I'm waiting for your update, or post the corrected line. I thought Tobii tested his 4 DVDs from drive, because there may be strange behaviour like that problem. I will test other DVDs with STC in VOB at home. Yes, I know that we cannot burn from a read-only system. But for searching of original LB settings it is very useful to read from drive.

I have changed nothing in my system. I use the original files, without any changes. I just don't try out of a disk drive.
The STC flag, is in the VOB at the DVDs in question. Unfortunately, I haven't found any DVD without STC flag yet. Sorry, r0lZ... I haven't tested matrix. Till now, I also haven't noticed the problem. Waiting what jeanl says to it. |

mmm I don't have much to say unfortunately! I can't replicate that problem, I would need a short test DVD to do that, then I'll figure out what the problem is. I'm not sure about the STC discontinuity, as far as I can tell, DVD2AVI does not seem to use the STC, but maybe I'm wrong (I haven't looked that hard). Tobii or r0lZ, could you possibly prepare a small version of the DVD and send it to me via www.yousendit.com? Make it as small as possible, just to let me see the problem.
About using DGIndex instead of DVD2AVI, it would have been a good idea when I started, but unfortunately, I didn't do it. Now I've added enough stuff to DVD2AVI that it would be quite a bit of work to replicate all these changes in DGIndex. Besides, I'm not sure how neuron2 would feel about having someone adding stuff to the code he now maintains.... jeanl
