Hi, jsoto,
Thanks for your wonderful program, it helps us to solve many problems especially I like the feature of replacing titles.
Just some suggestions for your future release, can you save the locations of the input directory, output directory and other directory(most likely the one uses to replace) separately? It will help us to save some time each time we make some adjustments, thanks!

No....AFAIK, there is no bug in vobBlanker when this message pops up. The message is indicating a corrupt input material..

Crash in new beta. Appears to happen when rebuilding time map. I was splitting a disk. The time map was in a not one seq title, if that helps (it, in fact, was the menu, consisting entirely of BOVs).

IFOs and project file sent to you jsoto.

Here's the errors:



Most definitely, there are only 20 PGCs.

Regards

The bug is because your original TMAPTI did not exist, and I removed the protection of VobBlanker (because VobBlanker now should be able to rebuild the table even in this case) w/o fixing completely this case.

(As you know) Fixed.

Ooops. IIRC I didn't fix this.

VobBlanker_2120 beta4

Changelog versus beta 1
  • Added: 32KB GAP: If configured, VobBlanker guarantees the gap creating (if needed) an empty menu of 32KB, made by one unreferenced blank cell and padding packs. This allows the user to burn with Nero using the 32KB gap trick
  • Added: Default folders configuration (output, input and auto-save)
  • Changed: VobBlanker automatically saves the log and project files if auto-save folder is configured.
  • Improvement: A big one: VobBlanker is almost three times faster when input and output folders are in the same hard drive. (i.e checking "Use Input folder")
  • BugFix: report of a wrong # of PGCs (TMAPTI) in log file
  • BugFix: crashes in beta 2

32KB GAP: I know some of you don't like Nero, but there are many people used to it...

Speed increase:
VobBlanker was much more faster reading from one HDD and writing in other different HDD. It works reading one pack (2048 bytes) modifying if needed and writing the pack.
I perfectly know MS-windows is not too optimized in sharing accesses to HDD so what I did is to "write" the packs in memory in a big buffer ( 8 Mbytes ), and when the buffer is full, I write the whole big buffer in one shot.
In this way, VobBlanker reads pack by pack, and when it has 4000 packs in memory, writes 8 Mbytes of data.

I've did some tests and 8 MB is the optimum size (at least with my HDD)

I see no reasons to be so happy about this... I mean, as a consequence I am realising that all of the times I used this option (that was very frequent in my last two years of usage of VobBlanker) I spent (more or less) two third of my time for purposeless activities, right ?

...sigh...

You should send your complaints to Bill G.

Can anybody check if the improvement is also so significant in Linux?.
