PgcEdit 0.6.1 released

Main changes from latest beta (PgcEdit 0.6.1 beta 12):
ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) support. Thanks Lightning UK!
New Remap Titlesets function, to rearrange the order of the titlesets (safely! :).)
New user's comments support, to document the PGCs. (See the Options menu, too.)
And some other minor changes and bug fixes.

Main changes from 0.6.0:
The main menus have been revamped. There are also some improvments in the GUI of many functions.
New functions to create a blank cell in any PGC, and a function to replace a Title domain by an imported one, keeping the menu intact.
Improvments in the Trace mode, with some new functions in the State menu, and new keyboard shortcuts.
The Renumber GOTOs feature has been improved to work also when copying/pasting commands with GOTOs.
Some bug fixes. And much more...

Also, there are 4 plugins for PgcEdit availables for download on my homepage (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/).
Note to DVDShrink users: I have removed the two DVDShrink specific functions from the main program. They are now availables in the DVDShrink plugin.

PgcEdit 0.6.1 version history:
A. = Added feature.
E. = Enhancement.
R. = Removed.
F. = Bug fix.
A. Burn: Added support for ImgBurn. The burn function now uses ImgBurn instead of DVD Decrypter to burn the ISO. Although it is recommended to use ImgBurn, it is still possible to use DVD Decrypter, for backward compatibility.
A. Burn: Added a "Launch ImgBurn" button in the burn dialog to easily examine your blank media before launching the burn operation.
A. The "Fix number of streams" macro is now launched automatically when a DVD is opened (but not when the DVD is reopened). If some discrepancies are found, the user is prompted to fix them. An option to disable this feature has been added in the Options menu.
A. PGC Editor: Added a function to create a blank cell in a PGC. Can be used also in a dummy PGC. You may use VobBlanker to replace the new cell. Useful if you want to add a new clip or a menu page in a domain.
A. New function "File -> Replace VTST Titles" to replace the current VTST domain by an imported one. Can be used to replace a VTST domain after a reencoding or a shrink of a title with DVDShrink in reauthor mode.
A. Trace Mode -> State menu: Added functions to snapshot the current trace position and state, to be able to return to a snapshot point at any time. Also, some snapshot points are automatically saved during the trace. This feature can be used as a limited undo of the last trace steps. Drawback: the 'PGC Played' flags and highlights are lost after a restore.
A. Trace Mode: A special snapshot point is recorded automatically when the user quits the trace mode, and restored when the trace mode is reenabled (and when the current DVD is reopened with File -> Reopen DVD). It can also be restored with State -> Return to -> Trace Mode Closed.
A. Trace mode: Added some keyboard shortcuts, available in trace mode only:
- Control-Right: -> Step
- Control-Up: ->> Next PB
- Control-Down: ->>> Run
- Control-Left: ->| Break
- Escape: ->| Break
A. Added some keyboard shortcuts in main panel:
- Control+Shift+B: Incremental backup,
- Control+Alt+B: Restore Backup
and one shortcut available only when the command pane is active:
- Control-Insert: Append to Scratchbook
A. Added "Display PGCs list as text" function in the Info menu.
A. Added a progress bar in the status bar.
A. Menu buttons viewer: It is now possible to right-click on the Image < and Image > buttons to display the prev/next background by larger steps.
A. New function "DVD -> Remap Titlesets" to rearrange the order of the Titlesets. This function renumbers the JumpSS-VTSM commands automatically.
A. New functions to add, modify, export and import user comments for the PGCs. The comments are displayed in the PGC selector pane, in the current PGC title and in all places where a PGC label is displayed.
A. Added an option to allow PgcEdit to automatically add PGC comments when creating new PGCs or for information purposes. Currently, the Calls Cross References and Import Startup/Intro/Closing Clip functions are able to create comments automatically.
A. Added an option to automatically load and save the PGC comments in the backup folder when a DVD is opened or saved.

E. The Utilities and Macros menus are now removed, and replaced by the DVD, Domain, PGC, Menu and Title menus.
E. The Options menu is now splitted in sub-menus Startup, Input/Output, User Interface and Command Editor.
E. Moved the Plugins menu before the Tools menu. (Was after the Tools menu.)
E. The Return key can now be used to accept all requesters. (Same action as clicking the OK button.)
E. Added an Help button in the Search All results, and in the Go to Calling Command windows.
E. Added several options in the PGC Editor's Celltimes.txt function.
E. It is now possible to delete a range of cells at once in the PGC Editor.
E. In the PGC Editor's subpic streams assignments frame, a message shows now which subpic streams are really necessary according to the current domain stream attributes. Also, in the assign streams GUI, the unused streams are now grayed out, although it is still possible to modify the assignment.
E. It is now impossible to configure the Domain Streams Attributes's video mode with an illegal combination of flags (for example 4:3 + LetterBox or Pan&Scan, or 16:9 without either Letterbox or Pan&Scan or both.)
E. The GUI of the Remap Title Numbers function has been enhanced.
E. Renumber GOTOs option: The GOTO commands duplicated or copied/pasted to the clipboard are now also automatically renumbered.
E. It is now possible to specify the GPRM to use for the Import First-Play Clip and Import Title's Intro Clip functions, and force the macro to continue even if there are no unused GPRMs remaining in the DVD.
E. Added an option in the Import Title's Intro Clip macro to display the intro clip only the first time the title is played.
E. Changed the default settings for the "Enable Navigation Buttons" macro.
E. Trace: Renamed the preview option "Start Preview automatically when playing a cell?" to "Open Preview automatically when playing a cell?".
E. Trace's snapshot menu: The PGC label and pre/post/cell line number are now displayed in the menu items of the Snapshot submenus, and a new "Clear all Snapshots" function has been added.
E. Info -> PGC: Added the Angle number in the cells list.
E. Info -> PGC param and Cells tables: Added the total playing time for each domain, and the total playing time for the whole DVD.
E. PUO editor: added a button to input the PUOs as a value. Can be used to paste the value in the PUO_plugin.
E. Better handling and error messages when an invalid Nav Pack is found when scanning for menu buttons or BOVs.
E. The error message displayed when trying to load an encrypted VOB from the DVD drive says now clearly that it's a CSS encryption problem.

R. The DVDShrink Remote Buttons and DVDShrink Streams Remapping macros are removed. The same functions are now availables in the DVDShrink Plugin (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/plugins/dvdshrink_plugin_v11.zip) , as well as two new functions to launch DVDShrink from within PgcEdit.
R. Burn: Removed the "Download Daemon Tools" button on systems running in Germany and Unided Kingdom, due to legal issues in these countries.

F. Burning double layer DVDs did not work if the "Split ISO image into 1 GB chunks" option was enabled.
F. The VTS_TMAPT table is now updated upon creation or deletion of a PGC in the Title domain.
F. The Title number displayed in the PGC selector was wrong when the TTNs were not stored in ascending order in the title domain.
F. A Set, SetCLnk, CSetLnk or CSetCLnk using a SPRM as the first operand of the IF condition was not flagged as invalid. However, it was not possible to enter such an illegal command in the command editor.
F. Command Editor: Fixed the error opening the Command Editor when the "Start in Trace Mode" option was on and a DVD was loaded via the command line.
F. Fixed a very rare bug in the handling of the Command Editor window size.
F. The PGC Editor window was too small when displayed on a 800x600 screen.
F. Menu viewer/editor: When a menu group has both the Letterbox AND Pan&Scan flags set, the menu was displayed in pan&scan mode. Now, PgcEdit checks the video attributes of the current domain to determine the display mode.
F. It was possible to crash the BOVs menu viewer/editor if the scan for BOVs of the current titleset was interrupted.
F. Trace mode: When the Next Chapter button was pressed when the last program was playing, sometimes the last program was played again, instead of the NextPGCN link or post command.
F. Trace mode: The Title PUOs (in the VMG_TT_SRPT table) were not displayed in the Watch PUOs window.
F. Trace mode: In "Next PB" mode, the playback stopped when entering the post commands of a dummy PGC. Now, the playback stops only if there is a pre/ post breakpoint on the dummy PGC.
F. On foreign window platforms, the config files were saved in the user's home (or in the "Application Data" folder if this folder was present.) Now, the config files are saved in the correct application data folder, even if his name is different.
F. Fixed some little bugs when a VTS has no VTS_TMAPTI table at all.
F. A bug prevented the Create New Blank Cell function to automatically save the DVD.
F. New version v1.11 of PsKill.exe by SysInternals.com (in the bin folder under Windows). The previous version was sometimes wrongly identified as a possible virus by some virus killers.
F. New 'Play All' Title bug: In trace mode, JumpVTS_TT to the new TTN was unable to find the target PGC.


PgcEdit 0.6.1 includes PgcEditPreview v2.1, by Jeanl:
Fixed the overlay buffer pointers that were not set to 0 when "no overlay" was selected.
Now allocating oversized blocks to avoid crashes that have been seen with (probably) faulty mpeg data. (See the Taelon posts on this page (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=92481&page=8&pp=40).)

I, for one, would like to have all your current plugins in one zipped file. This way I could update my PgcEdit's plugin folder more efficiently by uncompressing all to the folder. Whatever needs updating will be replaced.

for dummy menus, etcIt's useless to set PUOs for dummy PGCs. Since they are not played, you have no time to use your remote.
Anyway, you can already set all PUOs if you wish. Just set all checkboxes once. Then, copy the generated number, and paste it in the other PGCs.
Also, try the PUO plugin. There is a function to set or clear the PUOs in all PGCs of the current domain in one operation.

No so rOLZ. If in DVDLab I make a menu that is just a black background, I can set its duration to any seconds I want...so I plays like a movie...This is handy to transition between menus or for DVD players that have strange buffers (i.e. the last menu you are on stays on the screen a bit before you goto a movie)....so it does have a use....yes I can click all the boxes, but an "ALL" box would be useful....but it is up to you.

Does DVDLab not let you set the PUO's at the time of creation ?

Hum, right! And the same problem occur with the "All Versions" folder.
Tiscali has recently been sold to Scarlet. The server has changed. I will contact the hotline to see if this problem can be fixed. If not, I will add an HTML page with download links...

Note that you can still access the folders from the main homepage at VideoHelp, and from the unofficial mirror in Poland.

for each VTS or PGC which cells are not used during playback
if at all possible?

hi :)
i tested the remap vts / delete last, i actually got an error after the deleting, when pgcedit autoreloaded the dvd it asked me for the deleted vob (vts3) :/, so i had to open video_ts in ifoedit and make a getvtssector, after that when loading the "fixed" ifos pgcedit blocked at the loading of the last ifo (vts2), i fixed this by manually removing the vts3 and associated title in ifoedit (strangely they were still inside),
btw i've a question about LU menus, is it possible to change the language or something somewhere in pgcedit (i was not able to find it :)) ?
Nice job :),

You have to do it after using the function, and before reloading the DVD, or the references to the removed domain will still be present in the IFOs.
I have done that this way to let the user remove several titlesets in sequence. But maybe I have to add an automatic save, to avoid this problem.

btw i've a question about LU menus, is it possible to change the language or something somewhere in pgcedit (i was not able to find it :)) ?No, I see no reason to change the language code of a LU. If your original DVD has several LUs, the correct language codes must be already defined. If it has only one LU, the language code is useless because that LU will be used anyway.
Why do you want to change the language code? If you have a good reason, I may add a function or a plugin to do it.

r0lZ
6th October 2005, 12:30
Changed my mind. There is one reason to change the LU: when you have entered a wrong code in an authoring program, you may want to change it without having to recompile the DVD.
And it was so easy to do... So, here it is.

Download: lu_plugin_v10.zip (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/beta/lu_plugin_v10.zip)
As usual, you have to put it in the "plugins" folder. See my homepage for details.
This plugin requires PgcEdit v0.6.1 or more.

r0lZ
6th October 2005, 12:40
I have also created a new "Auto-Comment" plugin. It adds a <void> comment to all PGCs without pre/post/cell commands. Though this plugin is of little use, it may be useful in some cases. See here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=720443#post720443) for details.

Download: auto_comment_plugin_v10.zip (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/beta/auto_comment_plugin_v10.zip)

Consider these two plugins as beta versions. I will add links to them on my homepage later...

ahah i had no good reason ^^
i removed one of 2 LU so it was using the other as default as you said, just wanted this one to be "unspecified" or something, but correcting an authoring error is a good reason :p, i'll retest the remap / delete thing, thanks

CirTap
6th October 2005, 14:38
first things first: great update!
I'm glad radius asked for the LU switcher :D, so there's another nice Plug-In
There is one reason to change the LU: when you have entered a wrong code in an authoring program, you may want to change it without having to recompile the DVD.there's another: in DVD-lab for instance one cannot set the language code (or I wasn't able to figure it out), they all default to "en". That's probably true for many/all "consumer level" authoring tools.
I'm still puzzled on how to add a new LU at all; IfoEdit, Add PGC to VTSM_PGCI_UT did "something", but of course it didn't work :) Guess I need to do some more research on that subject.
It'd be great to simply author the full set of menus, clone/duplicate that LU, assign another lang code, and then replace what needs localization with VobBlanker or whatever (... just thinking)

Have fun,
CirTap

What about if it prints out the used cell for the Pgc in the vts that are used in an easier to read format without showing all the commands. Not necceseraly in the trace dumb log but taking information form there and creating a file as alist.
if it can be done. (for people who cannot easily read the trace dump output)

Excuse my possible ignorance dirio49, but to what purpose ?

A list of played cells would only relate to the specific command flow and menu selections made to that point, but not other cells possibly played via similar but slightly different route. Can get very complex to trace all possible routes.

To find cell that are 'fake'
this would be only done when you would use the trace function and all the times
or it could be as a plugin

DVDLab can set language code....but only after you compile your project....goto Tools-->IFO Editor - Audio

see

and scroll down

CirTap
6th October 2005, 23:26
@ron: yes, thanx, I know, but the feature you're refering to applies to audio tracks in "regular" DVD-lab (hence "IFO Editor - Audio"). DVD-lab PRO has *that* kind of (audio) language setting built-in w/o IFO hacking.
The LUs handled by r0lz' plug-in belong to "localized" DVD menus, DVD-lab does not handle :) -- yet.

Hi,
there's actually a small issue using the "input value" button in the "prohibited user operation menu", when you validate or cancel the "input value" the "prohibited user ..." menu doesn't stay on top so we can't close it and continue, it does the same if you are in the "prohibited user ..." menu and you leave / refocus the pgcedit window, maybe it's something with gtk ?
btw is it possible to get the windows maximized when setting it's set in the shortcut too ^^ ?

thanksWhat do you mean? You want a shortcut to maximize the main window? Unfortunately, it's not possible. The maximization of a window is M$ specific, and is therefore not supported by Tk. But there should be a Windows shortcut to do that on any active window.

yeah i actually run it thru a shortcut (u can set on the shortcut properties if you want to run the thing normal / minimized / maximized) but it's no big deal :)

In my DVD backup directory, I usually have sub-directories like BAKUP, STRIPPED, ... besides VIDEO_TS and of course PgcEditBackup. When creating ISO image, PgcEdit knew to ask if I wanted to include the other sub-dirs but would not go forward if I clicked No i.e did not allow me to create ISO image with just the VIDEO_TS, excluding the others sub-dirs though it knew not to ask about the PgcEditBackup sub-dir.

Can you add this exclude option for creating ISO image, save me from having to move other stuffs out each time. Thanks.

However, you can use a trick. PgcEdit automatically excludes some files (including the backups of PgcEdit, VobBlanker, MenuShrink...) It excludes also all files and folders beginning with "~" (because this tilde character was used by TitrleSetBlanker for his backup.)
So, if you name your folders with a leading ~ (for example ~STRIPPED), they will be automatically removed from the compilation.

r0lZ, thanks for the tip I can work with that. I have another question. When I created the ISO image for dual-layer DVD-9, PgcEdit issued a layer-break sector # to be used with ImageBurn. If I dont burn immediately can I find that sector # again by opening the ISO image with PgcEdit later?
:thanks:

r0lZ
9th October 2005, 18:27
No, the LB sector number is not in the ISO.
But you should be able to mount the image, load the DVD in PgcEdit, restart the burn process, and select the same cell. (That cell should be selected by default). At this point, you can read the LB number in the GUI.

So, if you name your folders with a leading ~ (for example ~STRIPPED), they will be automatically removed from the compilation.
Just to follow up, renaming the extra folders with a leading ~ still caused the message box to appear, I dont know if I clicked Yes the ~folders would get excluded in the Create ISO process?. But I found the easy workaround by just dragging the extra folders inside the PgcEdit_backup folder to hide them.

No, the LB sector number is not in the ISO.
But you should be able to mount the image, load the DVD in PgcEdit, restart the burn process, and select the same cell. (That cell should be selected by default). At this point, you can read the LB number in the GUI.
I noted that a log was displayed after the Create ISO process which also had the LB sector number included and seemed to use the same place as the create ISO when saved. Could you have the default log name set to be same as the ISO name with a suffix _log.txt to link them together for later burning reference?.

Also, is it true that if I use ImgBurn for the created ISO, the chosen LB would be detected automatically without referencing the saved LB sector number?

:thanks:

I will check the ~folder problem. Maybe it works only for files.

I don't know if it is possible to define the filename to be used by default by the text viewer easily. Will see...

Yes, as far as I know, ImgBurn should pick the right cell for you, since that cell has the seamless playback flag off, and is aligned with an ECC block (which are the main conditions checked by ImgBurn.)
But I am not sure ImgBurl will always pick the right cell. For example, if there are several cells suitables for the layer break, it may pick another one, or open his GUI to let you choose the cell to use. Honestly, I haven't checked this situation yet.

I have an ARccOS disk and tried to remove the blank cells at the start of the flick.

However, this seems inhibited in 0.6.1 (after pressing OK in the remove dialogue, the box closes but the cell table is not updated).

Anybody else having problems with removing cells, either on a single or range basis?

Regards

I have had this problem several times. I don't understand why. :confused: But if you save the DVD and quit PgcEdit, then open it again, it will probably work.

Similar problem adding cells if you say no to updating the VOB in the backup folder. It appends 10k to the VOB but does not update the cell table. Next time you do it, you get an error of course, since the VTS is too big :(

Might these be related problems?
