Audio Locked

[Fisticuffs]

r0lZ

Got this movie that is locked on to a audio, when I say locked on as in I hit the audio button on the remote and it still stay on that same audio.

Remote:
Audio 1=English
Audio 2=French


Your Program:
In the "Domain Streams Attributes":
English is Audio 0 and French is on Audio 1, so they are next to each other same thing for PGC Editor (double left click) both are next to each other and go in order.


This one seem to be really advanced. How do I find out what to change and fix this?

Remove the audio PUOs in the PGC (audio stream change 1048576) and do a Plugins --> PUOs --> Selectively clear VOB PUOs.

1) Every time I start I always do "Enable all operations" what does this do exactly? Isn't it suppose to clear out all PUOs and doesn't it do it to every PGC and command or does it only do that one PGC that is selected?

2) I found the PUO in the PGC Editor and change it to "Audio stream change (1048576)" before it was set to 0. I can't find the rest of what you are talking about, I looked all over, the only plugin I see is {Options>Install a plugin}

3) Is this the same way to enable all PUOs? there is some interactive DVDs (almost like a game) it have really short chapters like one or two and a lot of titles, and some part you can hit "skip back" on the remote and it would go back to the previous title (since its already at chapter 1) and there is some parts that it can't jump to the title before that with "skip back". How do I get it to jump title for the entire DVD with "skip back" and "skip forward" on the remote? (note: I don't want to do a "title jump" on the remote, only using the skip back and forward buttons on the remote)

[blutach]

See the help file about Enable All Operations - but yes, it removes all PUOs from the current PGC.

By changing the PUO to 1048576, you have unenabled the remote to switch audio streams. Change it back to 0.

Install the PUO plugin from the PgcEdit home page. See the help file for the PUO Plugin for a description of the various terms.

To disable all PUOs, use the PUO plugin, where there is a function to set PUOs for the whole domain (in your case, to 0).

You may achieve what you are looking for in your games DVDs with the DVD-->Enable Navigation Buttons function. Again, see the help file for a full explanation.

After I posted that I did some more test and found out that "Enable all operations" only apply to that PGC and not the whole thing, so I did it to that PGC, prob fixed. The word current is confusing, when you say current that mean its only for that PGC?


To disable all PUOs, use the PUO plugin, where there is a function to set PUOs for the whole domain (in your case, to 0).

When you say domain, that mean its for absolutely everything right? as in I only have to do it once and not have to apply it to every PGC like with "Enable all operations"


For the games DVDs, "Enable Remote Navigation Buttons" there is a "Apply to all PGCs of the current domain" there is 100+ domains, do I just do it once or do I have to select each one and apply it with that command? Would "Apply to all Titles of the DVD" get the job done?

again with the ^current^ "Apply to all PGCs of the current domain" = apply to all PGCs ONLY for that domain?


For the RSM command, what command do I use to set it up, the one before the RSM command?
exp: if ( gprm(4) & 4 ) then {RSM}
then the right command to set it up would be
Set gprm (4) |= (or) 4

correct?

[blutach]

When I say domain, I mean either all the menu PGCs for the VTS or all the titles for the VTS (or VMGM). And yes, you only need to do it once to cover all menus (or titles) in the VTS, not for every PGC.


For the enable nav buttons, I tend to do it for all titles of the DVD. This is my permanent setup:

9724


That resume command is a bit funny. It really means if gprm(4) is any number where bit 2 is set (that could be 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 etc). I much prefer setting up the resume flag with a definite number.

e.g. In the title pre-commands:
[71 00 00 04 00 23 00 00] 1 Set gprm(4) =(mov) 35 (or whatever number that isn't used elsewhere for gprm(4))

And in the post commands
[71 00 00 04 00 00 00 00] 2 Set gprm(4) =(mov) 0 (or any number which is not 35 and not tested elsewhere)

And for the resume command (on the Play Movie button):
[20 A1 00 04 00 23 00 10] 1 if ( gprm(4) == 35 ) then { RSM }
[30 03 00 00 00 01 00 00] 2 (JumpVTS_TT) Jump to TTN 1 in this VTS (or another TTN if TTN 1 is not the movie)

The word "domain" is a bit confusing.

The First-Play PGC is a domain.

All PGCs in the VMGM are in the VMGM domain.

All PGCs in a specific VTSM are in a domain (but VTSM 1 is a different domain than VTSM 2, etc...)

According to the DVD standard, a single Title is also a domain. So, Title 1 and Title 2 are different domains, even if they are in the same VTS. Usually, a Title is made of only one PGC, but non-sequential Titles can be made of several PGCs, sharing the same TTN number. (This is often the case for games or slide shows.) In that case, all PGCs of the same TTN are in the same Title domain.

Although that's not an official domain, I've added the "VTST" domain in PgcEdit. All Title PGCs of the same VTS are considered to be in the same VTST domain.

There is also theoretically an "Exit domain", but it has no real existence, as no PGC is associated with that domain. In PgcEdit, it is named "Exit state".

In Enable Remote Navigation Buttons, "current domain" refers to the current VTST domain. Therefore, if you have selected a Title PGC before calling that function and you select that option, it will be applied to all Titles in the current VTS. That option is useful, as it is usually not a good idea to enable all remote buttons in non-sequential titles, and especially to games.

Is there a way to get rid of all NOP at once? This would be good to include under "Remove Useless Stuff" as one of the option.

[blutach]

Please see the glossary in the help file (http://www.digital-digest.com/~blutach/PgcEdit_help/WEB/Glossary.htm) for an explanation of domain.

No - there's no way to get rid of NOPs all at once. The command is just a "spacer". It is harmless and saves you nothing in terms of disc size. Nevertheless, I concede it would sometimes be "neater" without them.

Regards

[r0lZ]

Furthermore, the NOPs are sometimes used as the targets for the GOTO commands. I can't remove them without verifying that first.

And, no, there is nothing larger than a domain, except "VTS" which incorporates the VTSM menu and title PGCs (the VTST) of the whole titleset. But that's not a domain.

[Fisticuffs]

Back to RSM, just to be extra sure.

The one I'm working on now look like this:
Set gprm(15) =(mov) 1



1)It is only one of the command to set it up is needed, either the pre-command or the post-command not both right?

2)I can use the same set up command for both pre and post command or does it have to be a diff command for pre and post?

[blutach]

Set it to 1 in the precommands of the title and set it to 0 in the post commands. Test for gprm(15)=1 on the play movie button.

Regards

[Fisticuffs]

ok how about the 1st question.

1)It is only one of the command to set it up is needed, either the pre-command or the post-command not both right?

[blutach]

No. Re-read post 12.

Precommands - set to 1
Postcommands - set to 0

Play movie button - links to PGC where the precommands are

1 if ( gprm(15) == 1 ) then { RSM }
2 (JumpVTS_TT) Jump to TTN 1 in this VTS (or another TTN if TTN 1 is not the movie)

Regards

[Fisticuffs]

No
You just avoided the question again. So both pre and post command is needed? or is only one of them is needed? and I'm not talking about the play button command (this command of course it's needed)

[blutach]

Mind your manners fisticuffs or get a strike. No-one here owes you anything, especially me.

It's obvious what I am saying. You need a precommand to set the gprm to 1 and a post command to set it to 0 (or something other than 1). If you are still in doubt, look on some commercial DVDs you have - the procedure is simple to follow.

Regards

[Fisticuffs]

Calm down, I appreciate you helping, all you had to say was both pre and post is needed to clear all of the confusion.

[blutach]

And all you had to do was be polite - you are still being impolite. I suggest you read rule 4 carefully.

Enough now.
