Bypassing Paramount's "Previews/Main Menu" Selection Menu
Bypassing Paramount's "Previews/Main Menu" Selection Menu
Courtesy of 2CL Lately, I have encountered a lot of Paramount Region 1 DVDs that has a Previews or Main Menu option as a startup menu. Sort of like a aspect ratio menu with you selecting widescreen or fullscreen. I can't confirm for the other regions though but what I’ve noticed is that this clip always reside as a angle-menu in my VTS_02_0.VOB. Here’s what I have as viewed in IfoEdit in my VTS_02_0.IFO. Code:
VTS overview: Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Menu 1: [Root-Menu] (entry PGC) (Programs: 0) (Cells: 0) Menu 2: [Angle Menu] (entry PGC) (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 1) Pre menu Menu 3: [entry only] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 2)Post Menu I want to get rid of this Preview/Main Menu startup screen so here’s I do. Using IfoEdit, go to VTS_02_0.IFO / VTS_PGCI_UT / PGC-Menu_2 (Angle Menu) / PGC Command Table. Using the example below, double click on Number of Pre Commands and enter a “1”. Double click on Number of Post Commands and enter a “0”. Code:
BEFORE: PGC Command Table: Number of Pre Commands 0 Number of Post Commands 1 Number of Cell Commands 0 Size of Command table in bytes 15 1.Post Command Set GPreg<0> mov (set-val)<1>(LinkPGCN) Link PGC 3 Code:
AFTER: PGC Command Table: Number of Pre Commands 1 Number of Post Commands 0 Number of Cell Commands 0 Size of Command table in bytes 15 1.Pre Command Set GPreg<0> mov (set-val)<1>(LinkPGCN) Link PGC 3 Code:
BEFORE: PGC Command Table: Number of Pre Commands 0 Number of Post Commands 3 Number of Cell Commands 0 Size of Command table in bytes 31 1.Post Command Set GPreg<1> mov (set-val)<2> 2.Post Command If GPreg<0> == GPreg<1> then (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC: 22 3.Post Command (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC: 4 Code:
AFTER: PGC Command Table: Number of Pre Commands 3 Number of Post Commands 0 Number of Cell Commands 0 Size of Command table in bytes 31 1.Pre Command Set GPreg<1> mov (set-val)<2> 2.Pre Command If GPreg<0> == GPreg<1> then (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC: 22 3.Pre Command (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC: 4 If you want to know the full details on why you did the edits, read here.

Star Trek Nemesis
hi 2cool!
thnx 4 all your efforts with your guides. i was reading your post with great enthusiasm because i had exactly this issue with paramount's preview/main menu selection on STAR TREK NEMESIS. unfortunately, your description of the VTS overview does not match star trek's nemesis structure: this is your description of how paramount's "VTS_02_0.IFO"'s usually are: Code:
VTS overview: Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Menu 1: [Root-Menu] (entry PGC) (Programs: 0) (Cells: 0) Menu 2: [Angle Menu] (entry PGC) (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 1) Pre menu Menu 3: [entry only] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 2)Post Menu but paramount's stnemesis "VTS_02_0.IFO"'s structure differs: Code:
VTS overview: Menu attributes: Video: MPEG-1 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (pan-scan & letterboxed) Title Set (Movie) attributes: Video: MPEG-2 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (16:9) (pan-scan) Audio 1: English (Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC normal (ID: 0x80) PGC_1 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 1] [00:00:21.00 / 30 fps] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 1) [Ch 01] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 1/ 1] : time: 00:00:21.00 / 30 fps [Pos: 00:00:21.00] [Frames: 630] PGC_2 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 2] [00:00:02.15 / 30 fps] (Programs: 1) (Cells: 1) (uses VOB-IDs: 2) [Ch 01] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 2/ 1] : time: 00:00:02.15 / 30 fps [Pos: 00:00:02.15] [Frames: 75] Menu Language Units: 1 Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Menu 1: [Root-Menu] (entry PGC) (Programs: 0) (Cells: 0) Code:
PGC Command Table: [000000ec] Number of Pre Commands 1 [0001] [000000ee] Number of Post Commands 0 [0000] [000000f0] Number of Cell Commands 0 [0000] [000000f2] Size of Command table in bytes 15 [000f] [000000f4] 1.Pre Command (JumpSS VMGM) Jump to VMG PGC: 7 [30 06 00 07 00 c0 00 00 ] There is no PGC Program Map There is no Cell Playback Information Table There is no Cell Position Information Table correct me if i'm wrong: according to your guide, the preview/main menu selection would be skipped to jump directly into the main menu, right? TIA DD
