As you can read in this thread (http://www.mmbforums.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6433), I'm annoyed that my DVDs created with DVD Lab Pro will jump to something if the Next Chapter button is pressed when it's already in the last chapter of a title. It jumps to the beginning of some title, having nothing to do with the presentation order of the titles in the main menu.

[...]Any suggestions?
Yep, AddChapter.

just use PGCEdit!!!!

double click the pgc of the movie in question....then on the NextPGCN tab the number is 0. Set it to the number of the PGC. So if your movie is PGC 2 set the NextPGCN number to 2 and so on for whatever titles are there. 0 is the default. If you change it to the number of the PGC this means that after the final chapter the player should immediately jump to the post commands and execute them. I have tried this on 15 players....perfect. No needs for user-ops in vob or adding chapters. Simple, Sweet, Works

First, does anyone know for sure what is the correct standard behavior? If this is a quirk of my Samsung player, and not widespread, I won't worry about it. Standard or not, if it affects all Samsungs, then I need to deal with it.

Someone had suggested using DVDRemake to disable the button while in the last chapter. So I came here to ask: can I do that with PgcEdit? I can see it shows me a table of chapters ("cells") for a title, but I don't see any way to edit prohibited operations within a cell (I found one that appears to be global).

Any suggestions?

IMO, it is probable that there is a bug in your player.

There are several ways to continue with another title when the user presses the next button during playback of the last chapter. (But, of course, the next thing to play should be whatever you have decided when doing the authoring.)

Often, a short chapter with less than 1 sec of black is added at the end of the movie. Therefore, the last "real" chapter (with video contents) is not the last one, and the user can use the next button to play the tiny chapter, and then the post-commands.
If it's the case, you should remove the program that is assigned to that tiny chapter (by clicking on the "Prog." button of the last cell in the Pgc Editor.) You have also to remove the last entry in the chapter table (with the "Edit Chapter Table" function of the PGC Editor.) Don't forget this step!

Another method is to use the technique known as "NextPGCN link pointing to itself". When the NextPGCN link (also editable in the PGC Editor) is non-zero, the next button of the remote can be used when the last chapter is playing. You should therefore force this value to 0 to disable the button. (Of course, it's not sufficient if the first technique above is also used.)

The PUOs are global to the current PGC. You cannot change them for a specific cell.
But you can set the Access Restricted flag of the last chapter cell. (Click on the Type Flags button of the last cell.)
Beware! Setting this flag inhibits most of the controls on the remote. Basically, when a cell has this flag set, it must be played at speed 1 until the end of the cell is reached! You cannot even fast forward, or use the prev button!

If you want more informations, please select any title with this problem, and use the "Info -> PGC params and cell table" menu. Then, post the output here.

@ arsmori & ron
I think JDlugosz wants to do exactly the oposite of what you suggest. He wants to disable the Next button when playing the last chapter. Or fix the navigation problem that leads to a wrong title.

@jinjin_jp:
Yes, using the Root menu button is a solution. But I don't like it, since this button is not supposed to jump back to the previous title.
I think below example is interesting, it utilizes left button(when jumping to previous title) and right button(when jumping to next title), and it is the method used for DVD2one.

This example is which has 3 titles and each title has 3 chapters.

and when replaying(Button 1 = NOP),
(1)pressing "Left Button" =>Button 2 = VMGM PGC 1(Auto) => Jump to Title 1
(2)pressing "Right Button" =>Button 3 = VMGM PGC 3(Auto) => Jump to Title 3

And Previous and Next Button can jump like above, too.
Because

Yeah! Great idea. But it requires to create or modify the buttons in the last chapter, and using the arrows is not very "standard". Not perfect. But it's really something that should work w/o the problems related to the non-sequential PGCs.
Thanks for the info, Jinjin!

@rolz

his presentatoion order should be defined in his VM commands, so if he has those right then what I posted will work. It is the VM that makes the navigation.

...
When the NextPGCN link (also editable in the PGC Editor) is non-zero, the next button of the remote can be used when the last chapter is playing. You should therefore force this value to 0 to disable the button.


If that implies that when NextPGCN is set to zero, then the next-chapter button should not do anything in the last chapter, then it's a bug or mistaken-feature of the player.

Samsung makes a lot of players. How wide-spread is this bug? If it's just me, I won't worry about it. But if it bothers many people with Samsung players, I want to author the DVD to do something intentional with this button.

Obviously, there is no NextPGCN link defined, and no additional tiny chapter at the end of the title. So, yes, your player has a bug. The Next key should be desactivated when playing chapter 3. And if, for some reason, Samsung has decided to enable it anyway, in this precise case, the navigation should return to the root menu, not to a random title!

Try to set the NextPGCN link to the PGC number (in this case: 2) and see if it works better. Maybe with this modification you will return to the root menu.

ron spencer
9th February 2006, 02:52
on the 15 players I have tested this on all have different behaviour when you hit next after last chapter...but I have gotten around this by the method I stated. I just make sure my post commands go where I want and all is ok...these are not bugs just how the manufactuers make their stuff. I have one Polaroid that goes to VMG menu!!!

So at the end of Title one, say, that is PGC 2 I set Nextpcn=2 so after the last chapter you immediately jump to the post commands...I have NEVER seen a player not do this (if you leave it at 0 you don't know what you'll get). This guarantees that your post commands are executed, so make sure your post commands have the navigation you want. If you have a playe that does not do this then use an encoder like TMPG or CCE Basic to force that last frame as an I-Frame for a chapter.

r0lZ
9th February 2006, 12:18
Yes, ron, the trick of a dummy last chapter is even better than the one with the NextPGCN link alone. But, according to mpucoder, the NextPGCN link alone method should work. If it doesn't work, or doesn't lead to the post commands, there is a bug in the player.

Anyway, JDlugosz, try it. I'll be interested on knowing the result.
Then, try to add a new cell at the end of the PGC, and add also a LinkTailPGC post command to the last real chapter (ie chapter 3.) This is how most commercial DVDs are authored.

ron spencer
9th February 2006, 15:49
yes but even with the so-called last chatper trick the use can still hit next a couple of times and mess things up....I would be very surprised if the NextPGCN trick does not work in his player....that would be a player not comforming to the specs. If it behaves this way then the only thing to do is to add a chapter to the end of the movie and if the movie does not end on an i-frame to use DVD Remake to add the chapter user-op from that last dummy chapter to end of the movie (maybe only 0.2 sec). DVD Remake is the only program that I know of that does chapter user-ops. Can you add this to PGCEdit? I know the user ops would be written in VOB, so PGCEdit would need to "redo" the VOBs...would this be difficult? practical? Only issue with adding a cell is that teh chapter VM command is non-seamless, so if there is no fade to black at the end of the movie there will be a stutter. Hey, can PGCEdit add chapter VM commands? Never tried it

r0lZ
9th February 2006, 18:28
No, cell level PUOs are not supported by PgcEdit.
But in this precise case, it should be sufficient to use the access restricted flag on the last tiny chapter. This way, if the user presses the next button when the last real chapter is playing, the last tiny cell will be played, but the user will not be able to use the remote during its playback, and, after less than 1 second, the post commands will be executed anyway.

BTW, do you think that PgcEdit must implement the PUOs at the cell level? IMO, it's not very useful.

ron spencer
9th February 2006, 19:45
well, well.....I never thought of uops on that tiny cell....hmmmm banger I am....you are right rOlz....you could do that fine and it is, in effect, just like doing a chapter user-op in vob....nice analysis.

So in this chaps case the answer is easy...if his player does not follow the NextPGCN trick mentioned above he just needs to make a blank cell with post commands on it and set all Uops on. This way when the user will always hit it... Nice use. Now this may require you to add a "lazy" feature - a tick box in the uops section for setting all puops instead of manually hitting each one. How about that ;-)

r0lZ
10th February 2006, 12:17
I don't understand you, ron. My trick consist in setting the restricted flag on the last cell, not the PUOs. Setting the PUOs requires a new function to edit the VOB PUOs. In the other hand, setting the restricted flag is easy enough. The user has only to click on the Type Flags button of the cell, tick the restricted flag, and click OK.

Also, you said "...make a blank cell with post commands on it". IMO, the post command must be on the previous cell, the last one with real video contents. This way, the last tiny cell is not played if the user doesn't use the next button.

To summarize, here is the final structure I propose:

Cell 1 <- pg1, ch1.
Cell 2 <- pg2, ch2.
Cell 3 <- pg3, ch3. Last real chapter, with video. Cell command: LinkTailPGC
Cell 4 <- pg4, ch3 or 4. New tiny black cell, with access restricted flag set.

No PUOs are needed at all. No NextPGCN link.

Since the next button jumps to the next program (not chapter), it is theoretically not needed to assign a new chapter number to cell 4. But of course, cell 4 must be a new program.
The cell command on cell 3 is not really necessary, too. His effect is only to skip the last tiny cell when playing it is not needed.

ron spencer
10th February 2006, 14:55
sorry rOLz was in a rush when I posted. I have never used the access restricted flag; what exactly does it do?...I just thought the movie would run into the cell...so just a misunderstanding here. I will have to try this out.

so just add a cell to the main movie?

r0lZ
10th February 2006, 15:08
The access restricted flag on a cell forces the player to play that cell at normal speed. It is not possible to use the FF, rew, next, prev, ... buttons.
Since the playback time of the last cell is very short, the user should not need to navigate when it is played anyway. But with this flag set, it's a guarantee that it will not be possible to use the next button, and therefore the problem reported by JDlugosz should be definitively fixed.

ron spencer
10th February 2006, 16:48
Quit nice...just add cell with your cell time and you are off.

What I cannot figure out, I must be missing something, is how to add the cell command to the last chapter within pgcedit (linktailpgc). But there is one issue though...if you chapter into the last chapter, so from your example above the person is in pg 2 chp 2 and hits next. I do not think the cell command on the chapter 3 linktailpgc will work. The only way it works is if you let the video run into the chapter and then it will work. I read in the DVDLab forum that chapter VM commands (cell commands) do not work unless you let the video run into it. jumping straight in via the next button will not activate the commands. But you would jump into the blank cell right? I tried this on 3 players and this seems to be the case. All looks fine as you get the last cell.

ron spencer
10th February 2006, 17:03
from the DVDLab forum:

The VM command that you put into Chapter 2 mark will actually be run at the end of Chapter 1 (as cell commands are executed ATFER the cell playback

So when you are in chapter 2 in the rOLz example above and you let the video run by itself to chapter 3, which is the end of the movie, the linktailpgc command is executed and the blank cell is ignored. If you are in chapter 2 and you "chapter into" chapter 3 via the button command then the linktailpgc cell command is ignored, but you then fall into the restricted access cell. So this will work, unless the user is a fanatic with the next button and is quick enough to bang on between chaptering into chapter 3 and hitting the blank restricted access cell, unlikely though. But a chapter is needed right at the end of the movie though

r0lZ
10th February 2006, 17:37
That's right, the cell command is executed only when the playback reaches the end of the cell.
In this case, the linktailpgc is executed, followed by the post commands.
If the chapter is skipped with the next button, the last cell is played, and since the restricted flag is set, will not allow the use of the next button. At the end of the tiny cell, it's the end of the PGC, and the post commands are executed.
Therefore, there is now way to skip the post commands using the next buttons. Should work, even on the Samsung players!

ron spencer
10th February 2006, 17:46
yes it is quite nice....but this is a dumb question. How do you add a cell command to a specific chapter in PGCEdit. I never have before...just add them in DVDLab....I am lost here on that one in the pfcedit interface

bigotti5
10th February 2006, 18:15
Just add cell commands to the title in the same way you add pre- and postcommands, then open the pgceditor and add the corresponding cell command by adding the cell command number in "Cell Cmd #"-field of the specified cell (programm, PTT)

r0lZ,
I'd really like to have an Info screen that display all the pre/post/cell/button commands in the whole VGM or VTS. Make it easy to see commands of all PGCs in one place with search and save capability. And it would be very cool if I can keep multiple Info screens on, instead of one at a time.
:thanks:

r0lZ
11th February 2006, 01:29
Do an Info -> DVD commands. All commands in the DVD are listed, but you can edit the file to keep only the domains you are interested in.

It is not possible to open several instances of the same info window (for example, if you call again Info -> DVD commands, the original window will be used to display the new text.) But you can call another Info function, and have both windows opened at the same time. Then do some copy/paste if you wish. You can also use notepad.

r0lZ
11th February 2006, 01:31
@ron: bigotti5 is right. Create the cell command, and assign it to the right cell in the cell table.

if you add a new cell as stated in this thread is is labelled as STC discontinuity....can you change it to seamless without issue?

r0lZ
11th February 2006, 21:21
Well, normally not.
However, since the new cell is always added at the end of the VOB file, it's possible that it can be played seamlessly.
IMO, it's better to keep the cell non-seamless, because it doesn't hurt anyway.

@r0lZ

Is it recommended to remove the sequence_end_code "01 B7" from formerly last cell if you create new cell?

ron spencer
12th February 2006, 01:21
will non-seamless cause a layer break "stutter" on a standalone though?

r0lZ
12th February 2006, 02:04
When playing a non-seamless cell on some standalone, you might experience a little pause (1 or 2 secs.) But it doesn't matter anyway, since the last cell is black. You will see it just a little bit more than needed.

@bigotti5: What do you mean?

jsoto

@r0lZ
Is it recommended to remove the sequence_end_code "01 B7" from formerly last cell if you create new cell?
I think no. The sequence_end_code tells the mpeg video decoder that the sequence has ended, and the last frame has to be displayed.
This new cell is non-seamless and starts a new mpeg GOP no related at all with previous video.

There are no settrings related to PgcEdit explicitely saved to the registry. The settings are in C:\documents and settings\<your user name>\Application Data\PgcEdit\
Do a backup of the whole PgcEdit folder before removing it.

The problem might also be caused by a read error in the PgcEdit executable, or a bad exe file. Download it again, and replace the original one.

Good luck!

It was my first thing to try, but it behaves the same with the fresh copy of PgcEdit as well. Checked and closed running executables, but no luck.

My friend r0lZ.

I love your program, is very pretty program for me.

So, I had one problem in my edition:

I used DVDFab to divide one DVD-9 to two DVD-5 (Phil Collins The First Farwell Tour Live in Paris), that's OK!

In DISC ONE Chapter ONE Show with 3 Angles and Clip Videos and DISC TWO remainder Chapters Show.

I used DVDShirnk and extract 1 Angle from Chapter ONE Show in DISC ONE.

Put this Chapter ONE Show Angle 1 (with command "Import Title in to Clip, Don't Pause") and join with remainder Chapters Show in DISC TWO, and very well, but because I don't get deleted the original cells 1,2,3,4,5 from the original Chapter ONE remainder in DISC TWO with PGCEdit, one gap with 3 seconds show black in my DVD Player.

Question: Is it possible put this Chapter from above command and haven't gaps to the final Chapter 1 and next Chapter 2 (cell 6), equal to sequence Chapters in one DVD Show?

Fine thanks for your attention and sorry my poor english,

Druid®

@Druid:
You should try to replace the last cell(s) with your reauthored chapter 1 with VobBlanker. Not sure it will wotk, though, since VobBlanker doesn't support multi-angle titles yet.

Another method is to insert a LinkCN to cell 6 as the last pre-commands of the main title to begin the playback directly at the right chapter. However, with this method, you will still have a little gap after chapter 1, since the first chapter is not in the same VTS any more. If there are Break commands in the pre commands, you will have to change them to GOTOs to the new LinkCN command (keeping the original condition, if any.)

Also, you might have to modify the chapter menu so that the first chapter button leads to the new PGC instead of chapter 1 of the original title. That's a little bit more difficult, since you cannot jump directly to the new VTST. You will have to jump through a new VMGM dummy PGC.

well i dont know how many people get annoyed by e.g. small buttons in chapter selection screens and fix them by hand :)
e.g. button covering only number instead of whole thumbnail. it was quite tedious work to fix each button position for every chapter screen, the function to copy button positions helps a lot, though it would be even bigger help if i could fix one chapter screen with all buttons and then just copy the positions of whole menu over to other screens :)

Currently, you can export the whole edited menu to a file, and edit this file with a text editor. Just remove the informations you don't want to import. Then, reimport that file over all menus. It's easy.

r0lZ,

I like preview :p. It would be awesome if PgcEdit can integrate a Tiny Preview [a` la VobBlanker :)]. But knowing screen real estate is premium, I will be just as happy if you could add this feature: After I bring up the Preview screen, can PgcEdit keep it on and dynamically feed the screen with video from any PGC I clicked on. I could, basically, go up and down the PGC Selector pane and preview anything on-click instantly. It would be a quick way to locate logos, warnings, trailers, extras and apply "Kill Playback", ...

The problem, as I can see now, is the Preview goes away when the focus changed in the main screen; but presumably, when a PGC is selected PgcEdit could detect presence of the Preview, bring it back on top, and feed it the PGC video.

Cool will it be, not? :)

voo_doo99, we thought about doing that in the early days but it turned out that sending commands from tcl-tk to another app wasn't that easy (and getting info back, too!)... Integrating the preview would require wrapping it as a dll, which I think wouldn't be impossible, but that's quite a bit of work, and I'm not entirely sure you could really integrate the display that well....

jeanl,
I understand tcl-tk would not lend well to the integrated preview idea, but I thought the other option is very doable. Currently, the PGC Preview can be triggered by the Display toolbar button, or the shortcut [Ctrl-P]. Reassign this trigger to the PGC Click event does not seem hard. The good thing is the Preview screen goes to background and does not interfere with any other PgcEdit operation.

That's another problem. I can add easily an option to launch the preview automatically whenever a PGC is selected, but I will still have to launch it the current way. Still currently an external app is launched, I can't prevent Windows to open the new window on top. Even if I force the focus on the main PgcEdit window, the preview app will probably steal it, because it is launched in the background, and I cannot know when I need to issue the focus command.
Will try...

OK, I have added a checkbox near the PGC selector dropdown menu to enable the automatic preview. When this checkbox is ticked, the preview is launched automatically when you select a PGC (with cells) manually.
However, I can't find a solution to force the main window to keep the focus. But that's not the most important thing, is it?

You can download v0.6.4 beta 5 here (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/beta/PgcEdit_winexe_0.6.4beta5.zip).

Expertly done, I am estatic. :) Master builder rolZ, you are awesome. :thanks:

The most important thing is main PgcEdit operations was not impeded, which was expertly handled with the AutoPreview switch. In AutoPreview mode, the focus switched as expected; I could quickly preview and did all my "Kill Playback" in this mode [one task removed from IfoEdit]. :)

Oh, I see what you meant. If I had multiple apps open, PgcEdit main windows would go behind other app when it lost focus; BUT if I minimized all apps except PgcEdit then it worked great. Not a problem for me, I am happy camper. :D

[Got it done so fast too, I must've pushed the right button :p]

Is it possible to correct IFO which is corrresponding to change Number of Title Play Maps of VMG_PTT_SPRT of VIDEO_TS.IFO.
(and change Number of Number of Video Title Sets of VMG_VTS_ATRT, too, if possible.)

The reason is below.
I tried TitleWriter 2.5 to add menu to DVD-Video re-authored by DVDShrink. It has 3 titles(=VTS), each which has 2 chapters, 2 audio, and 2 subpictures, and it is small for test.
I used "Menu4Episodic" as MenuTemplate.
(I think 3 titles(=VTS) and template "Menu4Episodic" is a little iregullar and not match, so it needs to correction.)

The results involve several problems(*) , and almost can be resolved by correction using PgcEdit. But I couldn't correct by PgcEdit only one above-mentioned. This time it was resolved by IfoEdit.

This problem was when TraceMode of Pgc Edit, can't go forward.
Then shown in right-bottom of GUI,
-- pre 5 : (JumpTT) Jump to Title 3
####### Target not found!
I think the reason is refer to the recognization of Title No of VTS_03.
DVD PGCs Info is
************ VTST 1 , 1 TTN 1 (4:02) Title 1 ********
************ VTST 2 , 1 TTN 1 (4:54) Title 2 ****************
************ VTST 3 , 1 TTN 1 (4:40) Title 4 ************
By the way, there is no problem when playback with player(PowerDVD).

I tried to find the method of correction by PgcEdit, and thought "Remap Title Number" is near, but couldn't correct.

By the way, (*) is,
(1)correct stream(audio, subpicture) of VMGM. (It is corrected only by open and save with PgcEdit.)
(2)delete over-numbered chapters by EditChapter(PTT)table.
(3)In audio-subpicture Menu, hide buttons which is not used.
(4)In Episodic Menu and Chapter Menu, correct Adjacent button (problematic if it is disabled button), and correct Width and Height (problematic because it is 0 processed with TitleWriter.)
