PgcEdit 0.6.3.1

[Fallen]

Titlewriter 2.541Beta -- Removed TW dummy Title Play map entries. Remaps PGC/Menu commands to Title 1.

Although I really think you should support multiple title play maps to any offset in a single VTS - this one could come back to bite you.

I seem to remember spotting such in a couple of commercial interactive dvd's (Can't for my life remember the names though) and of course DVDR's use it all the time.

This is about as far as I can go for compliancy with PgcEdit

Really appreciated. Thanks!

A quick question for rOIZ I ripped a movie to the hardisk using
dvdshrink (movie only) which I then proceeded to create an iso image with pgsedit when it came to selecting the correct layer break none of the breaks were colored to select the optimal position they were all black and white I have noticed in some tutorials that green is the best would this create any problems when writing to a duallayer disc sorry but my first time using this sftware woulf appreciate any advice you can give me

[r0lZ]

If you can't see any coloured line, it's probably because DVDShrink has removed the LB flag when ripping. PgcEdit cannot find a specific cell that is better than the other ones. However, PgcEdit selects by default the best position for you. It tries to divide the DVD in 2 approximately equals parts. But if the selected line is not coloured, you may notice the little pause when switching layers.

No big deal anyway. You can select any cell you want.
Try to find a cell where the pause will be less noticeable (the previous cell should end with an almost still shot, and the sound or music should be quiet.)
You can also load the original IFOs (from the DVD drive) in PgcEdit to locate the original LB position, and use that position when generating the ISO.

A short question concerning the correct button-command.

I would like to link from a VTS menu Button to a title. Now know I, which within a VTS normally with the command "Jump to TTN x in this VTS" one works. If I use this, the branch destination is not marked as usually briefly however blue.

Completely differently if I use with "Jump to Title x". The goal is marked blue, as if everything is correct. As far as however admits to me is, "Jump to Title x" may be used nevertheless only within the VMGM or the FP.

What is now correct? About both?
:confused:
BTW: If both commands are possible, me would still interest whether of it is more compatible.

Thanks

[r0lZ]

That's right. JumpTT can be used only from FP-PGC or VTSM. You must use JumpVTS_TT. Of course, with this command, you can jump only to the same titleset.

I know this problem of the highlighting of JumpTT from an illegal domain. The title is highlighted, even if the command is illegal, because the target is found. Currently, PgcEdit do not check if the command is legal before highlighting the target. I'll try to modify that, but it's a big work, so, don't expect it soon...

I have verified the target highlighting of JumpVTS_TT from a menu button, and it works. Are you sure the TTN you want to access exists in the same titleset?

I'll try to modify that, but it's a big work, so, don't expect it soon...I can understand this.;)

@r0lZ

Is it possible to mark LinkSlns commands in the pre- or postcommand area as illegal

LinkNoLink
LinkTopC
LinkNextC
LinkPrevC
LinkTopPG
LinkPrevPG
LinkNextPG
LinkTopPGC
LinkNextPGC
LinkPrevPGC
LinkGoUpPGC
LinkTailPGC

By the spec these commands are only allowed in the button- and cell command area.

Debugging of commands would be easier if such commands are marked as illegal.

[r0lZ]

I would like to do it. But it's not as easy, since I have also to check the Set commands with embedded Links. And it's a lot of stuff.
But you're right, I'll move it up in my todo list...

BTW, are you sure that all these commands are forbidden in the post-commands area? IMHO, most of them are allowed, but I don't have the specs! :angry:

[bigotti5]

are you sure that all these commands are forbidden in the post-commands area?

Ralph LaBarge in DVD Authoring and Production

LinkSlns Jumps directly to a specific part of the current domain, LinkSlns commands can only be stored in the Button and Cell command areas. There are 13 different LinkSlns commands that can be used. These are as follows.

LinkNoLink Transfers the value stored in SPRM 8 into the current Highlight Button value, but does not transfer control to a different part of the current domain.
LinkTopC Jumps directly to the start of the current Cell. The current Highlight Button number may also be set at the same time..................


many players will accept these commands in pre- and/or postcommand area but e.g. Yamaha DVX-150 (Mad-Eddys player :) ) ignores such a command

[r0lZ]

But it is vey common to find, for example, a LinkTopPGC or LinkTopCell as a post-command. It's the way most animated menus are looping back when the cell is finished. Since it's so common, I doubt it's really forbidden.

[bigotti5]

try it in scenarist - these commands are greyed out in pre- and postcommand area

Link to Programm
Link to Cell
Link to PGC
(20_4, 20_5, 20_6, 20_7)
are allowed

but under
Link by Sub-Instructions (the 12 above, 20_1) only RSM is available

[r0lZ]

Well, I trust you. But then, it seems that even the commercial DVDs are often not authored correctly. Those DVD specs are so stupid!

Anyway, thanks for the advice!

Does anyone know how to correct this error? pgcedit will no longer startup on my computer. Instead, the console is displayed and reports:

Error sourcing /Tcl/work/PGCEDIT/PgcEdit.tcl: can't read "::progressbar_text": no such variable
(PgcEdit) 1 %

uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.

Try this...should help you

[PNerd]

thanks. Deleting the pgcedit.cfg file from "application data\pgcedit" fixed the problem.

[HKT3020_1]

It would be nice if during the creation of ISOs, PgcEdit would include the JACKET_P folder in the image. :rolleyes:

[r0lZ]

It is normally included. But I have never tested that. It doesn't work for you?

Normally, everything that is in the main DVD folder is included, except the backups created by reauthoring programs like VobBlanker, MenuShrink, and, of course, PgcEdit. The folders beginning with "Copy of " are excluded as well.

When DVD-ROM files are found in the root folder, a warning is issued, so that the user can abort the burn and remove the files manually. This warning is not issued when JACKET_P is found, since it's a DVD-Video folder.

[r0lZ]

New version of PgcEdit released.

As usual, I start a new thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=110310) dedicated to this version.
Please post everything related to v7 in this thread. Thanks!

[Rippraff]

Thanks a lot for the new version, r0lZ! :)
Maybe a moderator could close this one to prevent confusion?

Hi r0lZ

I'm GravuTrad, a free french translator of programs.

I would ask to you if i could translate PgcEdit and his plugins in french please, cause lots of french people ask me this.

I would be happy if you permit this. I can host it too without problem.

I hope you'll be ok.

GravuTrad

[r0lZ]

Thank you very much, GravuTrad!

No problem for PgcEdit! Maybe, when blutach will have completed his english documentation, it's better to translate it instead of the program itself? You can add the translation of the main dialogs, too, like Tobi did in his excellent german doc? Translating PgcEdit itself might be difficult, because of its organization, and the (more or less) frequent updates.

I don't know exactly which plugin you are refering to. Is it the PSL plugin? In this case, I'm not the right person. I have written only the plugins available on my homepage.

BTW, I live in Belgium, and my mother language is french. So, if you need some explanation, feel free to write (in french) at pgcedit at tiscali dot be. I could send you the latest beta, too.

Thanks again for your proposition. I hoped something like that for a long time!

[GravuTrad]

I'm ok for all.

For the plugins, i talked of course of which are present on your site.

It surely better to use sources no? (open source program?)

For the help, i will translate with too...

[GravuTrad]

after lots of vexations in my personal life, i'm back and i will can do the work.

I send you and email r0lZ.

I will work with the last version.

tell me if i have to do or wait for something...

Hi!
I have DVD with English (1) subs (0x20 - wide, 0x21 - letterbox), another English (2) subs (0x22, 0x23) and Spanish subs (0x24, 0x25).
I know that I can disable Spanish subs. But can I reorder English subs that my DVD player will use English (2) by default instead of English (1)?

[blutach]

Yes, see the guide by UncasMS on the PgcEdit site about moving streams around.

Regards

[Grossmeister]

blutach
Thanks! It was very helpful.

[r0lZ]

Please note that my e-mail address has changed. It is now "the name of the program followed by the well known [at] symbol followed by TELE2ALLIN in lower case followed by the dot and finally followed by the first two letters of Belgium in lower case". ;)

Sorry, I don't want to write it in the forum, or I will be spammed like crazy!

You can also have a look at the Contact section of my home page (http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/#contact), or write me a PM. Of course, the preferred method to contact me is to post in this thread.
