Hello !

I tried to follow the tutorial for ifoedit, in order to extract the celltimes from VTS_01_0/VTS_PGCITI/VTS_PGC_1
My celltimes give me this :
4732
23540
40508
50032
54512

But obviously, the DVD has much more chapters...

And looking at VTS_01_0/VTS_PGCITI
I see many PGCs :
VTS_PGC_1
VTS_PGC_2
VTS_PGC_3
VTS_PGC_4
VTS_PGC_5
VTS_PGC_6
VTS_PGC_7

each one having his own celltimes.

For instance VTS_PGC_2 has these celltimes
13268
21520
25016
33712
53478


How can I use them ? How to combine all these differents celltimes to make juste one file ?

I'm not certain if it applies to multi-pgc titles, but PgcEdit lets you select the applicable Title, then you can right click on it and select 'Edit pgc';on the edit screen, at the bottom, click on 'Celltimes.txt' to export the chapters list.

Yes, PgcEdit can do what you want, but you will have to do it in several steps.
You must know the order of the PGCs of the title. (Just look at the chapters numbers to verify if they are in the correct order.)
Then, use the "Celltimes.txt" button in the PGC Editor to extract the subtitles of the first part. The Offset option should be 0. When you click OK, you'll see a simple text editor with the frame numbers. Copy and paste them in Notepad. (Keep Notepad opened.)
Then select the next PGC and use "Celltimes.txt" again. Click the "<- Use Last Cell Time" button to insert the last cell time of the previous PGC in the Offset field, and tick the "Include offset as first cell time" option. Copy the output again, and paste it after the previous cell times in Notepad. Repeat for all remaining PGCs, in the correct order.
You should now have all cell times in Notepad. Save them as celltimes.txt.

You need these celltimes to do what?
You may get them as r0lz said, but these are useless.
There is a reason why your DVD is so authored, if I have to guess I'd say it's a multi-episode anime/series.
