BOY DON'T I WISH THIS WAS DOABLE... It's a bitch having to type this information into my DVD Changer for every disc...

well if it is possible , then ifoupdate must be the tool to make possible , it solves alot of problems , the author seems to know , more than few ways to get the results required upto date , i just hope it is soon , cos as you say it a real pain without the text info as part of the DVD.

I think everyone is going to wish someone came up with a solution in about 6 months when ALL DVD players display this information and we all have 500 movies on DVD+R without it...

Today it only seems to affect a few of us... But hind sight is going to be 20/20...

Hint Hint... HELP...

I've added dvd-text to already authored dvd's for a little while. I'd say I've done about 200 without problems.

You need to hexedit the video_ts.ifo and add the text sector. If the ifo is complex you have to move some sectors down. I'd say it takes 5 minutes once you get the hang of it.

Here is a quick guide:

May work for you :)

tryed this several times and it is a bit hit and miss , as you say it is a bit complex , ideal for inclusion though for ifoedit program i would have thought

I was thrilled to see your post as I have been looking for this info for a long time. I am having a problem trying to make a go of your advise.

1) - Your link to a sample file does not work. Where can I find this file?

2) - Point B.6. (Simple example)needs more clarification to be helpful. (Where did the number 3 come from? Was this a 2 +1 in the first non zero number above the text sector from an example you did not show us? And where did 000D7 come into play?)

3) - Point C.1. This lost me completely.
Calculate the sectors - You need 2 values, the old C_ADT and the new C_ADT spot. To get the hex values, multiply sector # by 2048 and convert it to hex using the windows calculator (scientific view). Here are some for ya (4=2000,5=2800,6=3000,7=3800,8=4000)
how does 5 = 2800? 5x2048= Dec 10240 or Hex A168.

I can see that you have this all worked out... I am very excited to learn this but need more help PLEASE.

I appreciate very much you filling in the gaps!

Hi New to this forum I've written a proggie to insert/add title segment. According to feedback it seems to work fine for adding titles in jukebox situations. I'm trying for multiline text/genre inclusion. Seems to work on sonys not on pioneer. Also help would be appreciated on 100 word pointer table (???Title pointers -- If so screwy numbers????) at offset hex 24 (text segment). My current method scrolls text on led contents of title entry only if there is one entry per title/volume (fails on multiple entries).

Studied many examples (commercial discs)- Only conclusion is that nobody actually knows whats going on in this area.

Heres link to proggie:

I've since written a guide on doing this with HEXEdit... I will look at your proggie... I am curious to see if it does everything I have learned from the hard way round... Hope so...

UPDATE: Looks good so far... Did a quick test. Seems to insert everything I need OK. Definately will save me a minute or two on each DVD. Thanks.
