FixVTS Version 1.603 is available

jeanl · 7th July 2006, 17:10

FixVTS Version 1.4 (now 1.603)
Here's the latest release of FixVTS.
This is a tiny update with a couple improvements.

FixVTS now zeros out offset 0xC0 in video_ts.ifo when video_ts.vob is removed. This is for Nero to stop complaining about a reallocation error.
Fixed problem that occurs when a PGC Cells has the right pointers, but wrong VCID ("When a Stranger Calls" for example).

Your making the "VIDEO_TS.IFO" more compliant should eliminate tons of future postings (at many forums) by DVD Shrink users who have it set to automatically use NERO to burn. (It's also one less thing to blame NERO for)

Well done ;>}

This statement by jeanl seems to indicate that the "VIDEO_TS.IFO" was flawed/non-compliant, not that NERO was in error (Actually it seems that NERO was properly identifying the error)...

There has been a small update.

FixVTS 1.401
* FixVTS now zeros out offset 0xC0 when any menu vob is removed (not just video_ts.vob). This is for Nero to stop complaining about a reallocation

No, I'm not saying that the IFO was non-compliant, because I don't know whether it is or not! The specs are blurry (so I've heard) and I have never seen them. The fact is that nero's the only soft that complains about this problem (as far as I can tell). Does that mean they're right or does that mean they're being a pain in the arse? You be the judge. My take is that they're being a pain.

If offset 0xc0 of the VIDEO_TS.IFO is non-zero then a VIDEO_TS.VOB file of non-zero length is required. This is one occasion where the spec is very clear.

jeanl · 19th July 2006, 00:28

Well then, my bad!
Jeanl
I suppose this is also true of all the menu vobs?

Am I understanding correctly, that this is what NERO is "pointing out" (properly) when it generates a "file reallocation" notification?

mpucoder · 19th July 2006, 05:06

Yes, jean, this is also true of VTSM. If offset 0xc0 of any ifo is non-zero it indicates the location of the menu vob file within either VMG or the VTS and is, therefore, allocating it space.

While this condition (0xc0 non-zero without a menu vob file) is an error, it is NOT a re-allocation error. Those are generally Nero improperly disagreeing with the authoring program's allocation. Case in point declaring a reallocation error when offset 0x0c is not the sum of the ifo, bup, and vob file lengths in sectors less one.

Thanks mpucoder!

In light of mpucoder's info, perhaps the word "errors" in post 6 should perhaps have been "deficiencies".

Hi @all !!! I'd like to ask jeanl to add an "OPEN" button in FixVTS next release . It could help all of us in our Linux/wine migration . Thank for all your work !!!

jeanl · 21st July 2006, 18:43

TuRiSOft, I'll make a note of it. I added that to menushrink for the very same reason...

FixVTS Version 1.403
Here's the latest release of FixVTS.
This is another tiny update with a couple improvements/fixes.

Fixed a tiny bug that messed up the Last VOBU start sector in some rare cases (last VOBU with only 1 sector).
The VTS(M)_C_ADT and VTS(M)_VOBU_ADMAP pointers are now set to 0 if the tables are empty. This prevents Shrink from crashing on empty VOBs.
Added an "Open" button to the UI.
FixVTS now zeros out offset 0xC0 when any menu is removed. This is for Nero to stop complaining about a reallocation error.
