Scenarist error "No valid Subpicture exists for highlight "00:00:49:22" in Video T...

[rohangc]

Hi. I am a first time user of the Big 3. When I start DIF4U, I get the following error:

COMPILE ERROR
scenarist has failed due to a script error; further actions have been canceled.

Then all i can do is hit ok, and NM4U reads:

Compile not succesful-import manually and run .bat file later.

Something went wrong aborting.

After this NM4U closes and DIF4U proceeds to finish.

The Scenarist error log reads:

Info Validateing Track (VTS_1_001_t)
Error No valid Subpicture exists for highlight "00:00:49:22" in Video Track "VTS_1_001_t" Subpicture stream 1.
Error No valid Subpicture exists for highlight "00:00:49:22" in Video Track "VTS_1_001_t" Subpicture stream 2.
Info Validateing Track (VTS_1_004_001_t)

What do I do to fix this. Please help.

Sounds like BOV.

You check in the track editor the subpics and the highlight at the time "00:00:49:22".
The subpics must agree with the highlight (the same start/end time).

Hi. I want to rip everything on the DVD except the FBI logos. I think I will invoke DIF4U using the "Use VobID" option and see if it resolves this issue. Thanks.

Still doesn't work. Ripping by VobID doesn't help. How do I open the track editor? If I simply let DIF4U continue and finish the job, will the compilation have problems? It might simply be some menu item I may not really be interested in.

I am using DIF4U 1.4.0. I couldn't find the latest version anywhere and the official site is down. Please give me a download link to the latest version if you can. Thanks.

that error is during Numenu4u authoring the menu using scenarist.

Zeul may require some additional details to troubleshoot this, which i am sure he will chime in with when he is next online.

in the meantime you can manually import the .scp that numenu creates into scenarist, and in the 'Track Editor', check the subpicture stream for 'VTS_1_001_t' track and whether there is a subpic at "00:00:49:22" ... and that the highlight has the same start/end times as this subpic, as suggested by Tobii.

btw 1.4.0 is the latest public version of DIF4U. a new version will be released shortly when it has finished internal testing.

If possible you could use muxman instead of scenarist, which will solve much agony in respect to highlights :)

[rohangc]

OKay. I will try that. If it doesn't work, I will post here again. Thanks for everything.

@rohangc
That is a worry - it has been a long time since there were any subpic errors, must be something new that i need to find a workaround for. please send me the following:

entire frameserving folder
subtitle folder
ALL the original IFOs
all logs & scp file

Thanks

For anyone else who finds this through Google - 10 years later - this problem appears if the highlight stream ends before the subpictures do. If you've replaced a main menu video loop with one of a different duration, it can happen.

Go into the track editor for the track that has the problem and zoom in all the way. You'll likely see that the subpictures end before the highlight does. Make sure the subpicture duration (for both 16:9 and LBX) and the highlight duration are identical to the duration of the background video. Then it should mux.

This is a very well known "problem" is Scenarist.
