PgcEdit 0.5.0 beta

[Wheelie4]

I'm in no rush. I'm not trying to backup anything now anyhow. I just replaced my old Pioneer 105 with a Plextor PX-716UF and was just trying it's ripping ability out. And since I normaly use DRM Pro to edit I though while I had The Grudge and Dead on my pc I'd tinker with VobBlanker and PGCEdit's feature to get familiar with them doing test strips.

Again, this is what I get after using MenuShrink. I've done it about 3 times with consistent results.

2COOL, I have modified MenuShrink so it does not produce that bug with PgcEditPreview (was easier to fix in MenuShrink than it would have been in pgceditpreview!!!). The nex release of MenuShrink will have this fix. If you want to test it now, send me a pm, and I'll send you the fixed version...

I'm at work right now so just send it to bat-cave and I'll check it out when I get home.

Ok, I have two different questions:

@2COOL & jeanl,
Could anyone confirm if VobBlanker menu2still does or does not have the problem with pgceditpreview (SW I)? I'm testing with my copy and I'm unable to reproduce it, but it is different: it is the PAL version and menu is in VTS01 instead of VTS06.

@r0lZ
About pgcEdit + VB incompatibility. I was unable to reproduce the problem stripping titles (which makes me happy), but I found the problem with SW 1 VTS03, simply "keeping" the title. VTS03 has BOVs and is a very small title.
So, I'm concluding the problem comes from VB Cells reordering: This is the final layout in VTS03 (the one which made pgcEdit complain)
As you can see the VID/CID sequence is not honored.
Could you confirm if pgcEdit will fail in this case?

jsoto, I can't test at this point (at work), I'll test tonight, maybe 2COOl can test too. I suspect vobblanker will not show the preview bug, from what you've explained to me. The bug seems to show up when the navpack that has the image has no button info, and the navpack that has the button info has no image. This does not seem to happen in the vobblanker output. But I'll check tonight.

@jsoto: Normally, PgcEdit should not complain anymore if the cells are not in increasing order. But there might be a problem when a VOB or Cell ID is missing. I don't remember if I checked this case for the BOVs.
For now, my PC is in 'reinstall mode', but I will check as soon as possible.

@Wheelie4: Thanks for the dump. With that info, it's easier to imagine what caused the problem. Stay tuned right here...

[Wheelie4]

@jsoto,

I redid the movie in VB 3 times and got the same error each time in PGCEdit. Not sure if this helps but below are links to both the VB log and the PGCEdit log.

VobBlanker Log

PGCEdit Log

Hope this helps you.


@rolz,

No problem. Wish I could help more.

[r0lZ]

@jsoto: I assume the responsability of the bug. An unreferenced variable is used. Not sure why it happens, but it's probably a special case I don't care about. Will try to find and fix the problem...

[r0lZ]

Beta 13 is an attempt to fix the problems with the parsing of menubuttons/BOVs encountered by Wheelie4 and M7S.
I don't have a DVD with such problem, so, the bugfix was somewhat a blind edit. It may, or may not work.

@Wheelie4 and M7S: Could you check it with your 'problematic' DVDs? Thanks.

The beta is, as usual, in the folder pointed to by the 'all versions' link of my homepage at VideoHelp.

thanks . You're done with the PC upgrading hell?!
jeanl

[jsoto]

You've done it!

I confirm my SW I (VTS 03, with 40 buttons), processed by VobBlanker fails with beta 12 but it is opened in beta 13 without any problem.

Good work!. Fantastic. (As usual)

OT: Is there any way to add a new stream (audio or sub) in pgcEdit? I do not find the way in Domain Stream attributes dialog. There is an user (MomoNyo) in VobBlanker thread (here) asking how to do it.

jsoto

[r0lZ]

@jeanl: Yes, my brand new PC is now ready to continue with PgcEdit.

@jsoto: Thanks for the feedback.

Number of streams. Yes and no. It ia actually possible to search for the number of streams defined at the PGC level, and fix the total number of streams in VTSI_MAT with the Fix Streams macro.
But I writed this macro with a request of 2COOL in mind, and it is not possible to add a stream for now. Only to remove unnecessary streams left after a strip.
I'll change that immediately. 0.5.0 final will have a macro that will work in both situations.
So, the correct procedure will be: change the streams assignments at the PGC level, then call the macro. If some streams are added, you will need to edit the streams attributes as well.
[EDIT:] Done.

[Wheelie4]

@r0lZ

The exact same Dawn of the Dead files that errored in beta 12 open just fine in beta 13.

[r0lZ]

Great! Thanks for your feedback!

Hi,
first, thanks for this marvelous soft )
I used it to "rebuild" completly some dvd9 in addition with menuedit & ifoedit and it's just perfect.
I was wondering if you'll add the possibility to edit VOBs PUOs, actually ifoedit can remove all puos but there are problems when doing a "next" in some menus (it jumps to the next pgc rather than jumping to the next program etc..) ?
Another thing, will it be posible to add pgcs progams too ? (I managed to add programs in a menu with ifoedit, by entering the VOBU sectors manually etc ... but it was such a pain)

Merci A+

No. PgcEdit is not really a VOB editor (although I am working on a menu button editor). My way to process the PUOs is to remove them from the VOBs when ripping the DVD. DVD Decrypter has an option to do just that. Then, usually, I remove all PUOs from the title and VMGM domains, with the Filter PUOs function of PgcEdit. I prefer to leave the PUOs in the menu domains, because some unexpected behavior may occur it they are removed.

Another thing, will it be posible to add pgcs progams too ? (I managed to add programs in a menu with ifoedit, by entering the VOBU sectors manually etc ... but it was such a pain)

It is already possible to add or remove programs in the cell list of the PGC Editor. Just click on the button in the prog. column to toggle the program for that cell.
You may have to edit the PTTs as well.

It is not possible to create a new cell. This is on my todo list...

[jsoto]

@radius
You can add cells/program/chapters with addchapter (See my sig). You can combine this with pgcEdit.
