DGMPGDec 1.4.3 Final! - Page 6

CptRobby · 26th August 2005, 18:48

OK..I'm having trouble right now working with a DVD that has multiple angles...I wanted to avoid posting a question that's already been posted before, so I did a little searching before hand and found that, apparantly, multi-angle processing is currently not (and/or has no plans to be) supported in DGIndex.

I also found a bit of information on how the multi-angles work, both from searching the forumns and also using tools like Chapter-X-tractor to look at the files and came up with a (workable) solution to this problem and also happens to be a feature I've been hoping to see for a while for other reasons...

Since angles are stored on different vob-ids (ex: with the one I'm working on, angle 1 is on vob-id 8 and angle 2 is on vob-id 9) if you could put in an option to select which part you want to use by vob-id (and possibly cell-id too) (kinda like the way vobsubconfigure works) then I could just select the vob-ids for the angle that I want to use and rip away...

It would certainly be preferable if you could select the vob-ids/cell-ids non sequentially (ie: 1 - 3 - 4 - 6) But if that's not possible, or requires too much meddling, then just being able to create 3 simple D2Vs (1, and 3 - 4, and 6) would be enough. Then I could just create AVS files and throw them together in VirtualDubMod.

The other reason why I would like this feature is because I do alot of anime and TV episodes, and like Esc was saying before, often times you want to just select certain vob/cell-ids at a time. This would certainly make it alot easier to do!

Anyways, it could be that you've already gotten a suggestion along this line and found that it's not possible to do. I didn't find anything when I tried to search for it, but if that's the case, then just slap me with a link to it and continue what you were working on. lol

And thank you very much for all your hard work!

CptRobby, are you trying to use DGIndex directly on DVD? Because DVDDecrypter in ifo mode does select only one of the angles and you have no problem if you rip the dvd with it first.

interesting read. yup he does know the ways of low level timing lol
some of his numbers were surprising. 9x 55ms OUCH.

OK, folks, unless bugs are found, this will be the last RC. This release has two nice little surprises. One is pretty obvious. See if you can find the other one. No fair looking at the changes list! First person to spot it gets an atta-boy.

I also added dvd2svcd to the Credits listing in the DGIndex manual, as I had inadvertently dropped him. If I've missed anyone else, please let me know. Thank you.

Oh....Oh....Oh.....I know!!!

No, I'm using DGIndex on a ripped copy on my HD...And Yes, I do know about DVDDecrypter's IFO mode...I've tried it once before and it caused the copy I made to not work so I just always used the file mode and copied everything...I've never had a problem like this before...

But really this isn't about making it so that I can get this copy to work, that's not really important since I can just rip it again in IFO mode (hopefully I can figure out how to get it to work this time)

The reason why I made the suggestion was because I think it would be a good feature to have in general. And really what I was suggesting was only a WORKABLE solution to the problem of multi-angles...I wouldn't suggest making an actual solution to the multi-angle situation at this stage because it would require changing alot of stuff in the code (it would have to analize the IFO file to detect multiple angles at the very least along with a bunch of other stuff) in addition to making it able to select specific vob/cell ids. I can't imagine that there would be a way to do it without that functionality.

So anyways, I just think that this is the best next step in the evolution of DGIndex (on this front anyways, I'm sure there are probably other things that others have noticed that might even be more important than this...)

Edit after DLing release:
There's a DGDecode manual...coolness!

CptRobby · 27th August 2005, 04:05

SPIKE! LOL He IS the uber coolness!

Errrrm!

Could it be possible to make it so we can place our own images/logo's in the start-up panel (I can feel the knives in my back already)?

And how about some links under the "Help" button pointing to those lovely new "html" documents?

Cheers

What, you don't like Spike? That has some very sentimental meaning to me, which manono will understand well. And it's got to be an improvement over a black rectangle. I'll consider it for the next version. Skins for DGIndex...LOL.

Done. Thank you for the suggestion.

You seem to have changed your avatar.

I thought I'd been hacked when I first fired up RC4

If you do decide to offer image selectivity. How about offering it in a similar way to MediaPlayer Classic?

Yep... It's an still from "House" and was cropped from this picture: -

Wonderful

Would you care to enlighten me about that, as I do not use that software? Thank you.

SeeMoreDigital · 27th August 2005, 20:19

I'm unable to tell you how it's done... but you are given a choice of stock logo's. Plus the option of navigating and selecting any image of your choice...

Like this: -

Hope that helps?

That's the easy part. I didn't know what their UI was for it. I can do that in 1.4.2.

BTW, if you (or anyone else) would like to submit a BMP before I go final, I'd consider using it. It has to be the size of the DGIndex window with no file loaded. It can be a little bigger (due to clipping), but no smaller.

SeeMoreDigital · 27th August 2005, 21:10

Blimey... I thought this was going to be really difficult to do.... So ideally proposal images need to be 480x270 pixels?

Cheers

498 x 312 is good.

I uploaded five pics as my submissions.

I like the Dali. (But they have to be BMP files, not JPGs.)

I changed DGIndex to use Spike unless you put your own BMP file in the DGIndex.exe directory.
