Scenarist 2.7 compile error please help

[Ekin]

Hello everybody...I have an error while compile my Scenarist project to get video_ts folder to burn.. When I press the "start" button I got these errors in the "build" tap on the window on the bottom left hand side. Can someone help me solve this problem ?? I know it's my audio but how do I solve it...Well I 5 video clips and out of 5 clips 2 of the clips ac3 files are 2.0 Karaoke 192kps. And the other 3 video clips ac3 files are 2.0 192kps. So how do I solve this problem.?? I don't want to reencode my audio files b/c it will loose the quality...thankss...

Error Bsmod are different from vts_01_1 Movie1(vob0_5(0) and vts_01_1 Movie2 A_1(7).
Error The Audio Attribute(Language, coding mode and so on) in PGC<2-t-pgc>:Stream<0>:Title<Title_2> is different from The Reference PGC<PGC_1>

every pgc/track you create has to have the same lay-out

so if you have track a:
audio 1: 5.1 dd
audio 2: 5.1 dd
audio 3: 2.0 dd

all the other tracks have to be the same.

So what probably did was create tracks like this:
clip1:
audio 1:5.1dd
audio 2:5.1dd

clip 2:
audio 1: 5.1 dd
audio 2: 2.0 dd

Or something like this. This is not allowed. You would have to use dummy audio tracks and create it like this:

clip1
audio 1:5.1 dd
audio 2:5.1 dd
audio 3:2.0 dd dummy audio file

clip2:
audio 1:5.1 dd dummy audio track
audio 2:5.1 dd dummy audio track
audio 3:2.0 dd

etc

Good luck

Track 1:

you could put your 5 clips into different VTS if you didn't want to add dummy audio tracks.

influenza and bingohopper : thanks for the reply but i am not sure I understand what you're trying to explain to me...Ok with the example that you have me, you were explaining:

so if you have track a:
audio 1: 5.1 dd
audio 2: 5.1 dd this one have 3 audio
audio 3: 2.0 dd

clip1:
audio 1:5.1dd this one have 2 audio where's 2.0 dd ??
audio 2:5.1dd

clip 2:
audio 1: 5.1 dd this one have 2 audio, where's the other 5.1 dd??
audio 2: 2.0 dd

That's if I would use 3 audio. So if "clip 1 and 2" are missing audio then it wouldn't be complete right ? I don't really get what you're trying to explain to me. I don't know if it would be useful or not if originally started out with 3 audio and then later end up with 2 audio.

In my project I need to have 2 audio. I am doing a karaoke DVD so I need have to 2 audio that the user can switch audio when ever they want.

My project 1 has only one problem about having some songs that has 2.0 Karaoke 192kbs. And the rest of the song just have 2.0 192kbs.

Project 2 I still need 2 audio, but this time the audio is all mixed in bitrate and LFE. For example: clip1 2.0 224kbps, clip2 2.1 250kps, clip3 2.0 192kps ect.... So what do I do NOW ?????? I don't want to encode my audio !!!!!!


@ bingohopper or anybody: if your idea works for creating all 5 different VTS. Than can you explain this for me ?? Let say I want to use those five clips, but I want each clip to have it's own menu. So how do I connect the 5 buttons from each menu of each clip to the 5 clips. And how do I connect the "Next PGC Play" from PGC1 of VTS1 to PGC2 of VTS2? ect...so that it would play smoothly. And I guess this is the layout that I understand from your explaination:

VTS1------Language (for menu1)-----PGC1 (clip1)

VTS2-----Tittle2 (for menu2)-----PGC2 (clip2)

VTS3-----Tittle3 (for menu3)------PGC3 (clip3)

ect...

Remember that I need to connect all of the buttons in all the menu to all 3 clips. And I need to know how to connect the "Next PGC play" from clip1 to clip2 to clip3 ect...

Thank you so much guys for helping me out...really appreciated....

@ Ekin

What influenza wanted to explain is the following:

Within a VTS, each audio track NUMBER must not differ in coding mode (dd, dts, pcm), number of channels (2.0, 3.2 etc.) AND bitrate from pgc to pgc!

So if audio track 1 in pgc 1 is dd 5.1, track 1 in pgc 2 CANNOT be dd 2.0 or something else than dd 5.1!

There are many ways to solve the problem. The easiest way is, to put the pgcs, which differ in audio, in different VTS.

An other way would be to use dummy audiotracks. The dummy tracks need to have the same audio attributes as the original track they are used for. But the don't have to be of the same lenght. So it's enough for the dummy to last only 1 second, independent of the lenght of the video track (this saves space). The problem in this case is, that the user still could swith to the dummy tracks with the audio button on the remote control. So you'll have to block the manual audio change per UOP.

The last method would be to change the availability of the dummy audio tracks. This means, that you can tell Scenarist, not to show some tracks to the user, which are still present! The problem is, that this flags have to be sequential, which means for example, that if track 1 is present in pgc 1 it has also to be present in pgc 2.

I hope I could help you a bit. :)

@Crazyjoe......ohh thank you for explaining clearly for me..I kinda understand now. Ok so I guess I can't have 2 PGC that have different bitrate and channels. And I guess theres' nothing I can do about it.

But your second idea was to put the video clips with different audio bitreate and channels into different VTS. And yes it does work but then I have a menu and I want to link the buttons on the menu to those VTS that have different audio bitrate. For example: VTS 1 has one song the is dd 2.0 192kbs, And VTS 2 has two songs that has an audio of dd 2.1 256kbs. So how do I connect the "next" button from my menu 1 in VTS 1 to my menu 2 in VTS 2?????

No, you can't do anything about it. That are the DVD Specs. :)


So how do I connect the "next" button from my menu 1 in VTS 1 to my menu 2 in VTS 2?????

Do you really need to use Root menus in your case? Becaus a Root menu only resides in the language domains of each vts and is normally only used to jump to pgcs or programs within a title in that particular vts.

In your case a simple Title menu (resides in the language domain of the video manager) would do the same. From a menu in the video manager you can jump to each title of the disc independent of the vts it's in. But from the Title menu you can only jump to a title! Not to a special pgc (if there's more than one in the title) and not to a special chapter (if you splittet your pgc in chapters).

I don't know what you want to achieve, but i think a title menu would be enough for your navigation through the disc.

[Ekin]

@CrazyJoe: ohh ok so I guess I am stuck with just only the Tittle Menu. I guess I can design menu that can work around the restriction of not be able to linking between VTS. But then I ran into this problem. How do I connect the PGC video clip from VTS1 to the PGC in VTS2. So that my DVD would play continuously from PGC in VTS1 to PGC in VTS2. And so that when I press the previous and next button on my remote it would jump to the right one. ?????

[Crazyjoe]

That depends. Normally the jump from title to title per next and previous chapter jump works always (although Scenarist doesn't do that in simulation mode). But that jump is only performed when you use the next and previous button, not automaticly when playback of the pgc ends! If you want the jump to be always preformed you need a dummy pgc (i always use a black picture registered as a slide show in data editor; this takes much less space). Be sure to set the duration of the slide show to the smallest value possible (which is 13 frames). You'll also have to take care, that the still picture will be encoded in the right aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9, depending on the aspect ratios of your video). The encoding aspect ratio can be selected in the properties of the picture in data editor.

So when you've created your dummy pgc you'll have to put it as a second program to your pgcs (just drag to the pgc icon instead of normally to a title folder; be shure, that the dummy is the second program of your first pgc and the first program of the second pgc; the first for the forward jump, the latter for the backward jump).

Then put the dummy also in the video manager. After that just connect the cell comand of the dummy chapter from video 1 to the dummy pgc in the video manager and after that the pre-command of the dummy in video manager to the title of where video 2 is in.

For the backward jump you'll have to do the same the other way around, but you'll need a second dummy in the video manager, because the first is already linked to you second title.

I hope i explained it clearly enough. :) You see, jumps between vts are really complex. :rolleyes:

[Ekin]

CrazyJoe: Yeah you are right about jumping/linking VTS...damn you lost me....:confused: :( I can only followed you to the part when I have to create a dummy PGC and put in on my video PGC so that it could reg. as Still Image to create a second program. I did that part, and got the second program...but from there on...man I am lost....OK how about this I'll tell you what I need to do and you can explain to me again and maybe this time I'll understand it ok...sorry for the trouble but I really need to learn how to do this...Sorry to bother you...

Ok. I have 23 music clips and they are separated into three types of audio(dd 192, dd 224, dd 256) that I need to put them in 3 VTS right.? In order for me to compile them.

I will need a Language folder in the VMG, and in there I'll have a simple menu that would take me to those 3 VTS which contain the menu that would then link to the actual clip. So the is how I think I should set up:

VMG---Language (my Tittle Menu which link to VTS1, VTS2, VTS3)

VTS1---Tittle1 (have my menu for all of the following PGCs) PGC1,PGC2,PGC3, ect.. PGC10

VTS2---Tittle 2 (have my menu for all of the following PGCs) PGC11,PGC12,PGC13, ect.. PGC20

VTS3---Tittle3 (have my menu for all of the following PGCs) PGC21,PGC22,PGC23,

So can you explain how to link PGC 10 to PGC 11 so that playback is continuously and previous and next button on remote will work when I press it....thank you so much...really appreciated...

@ Ekin

No offence! I'm glad if i can be of any help. :)

I made an example project for you. I hope it's self explaining. I used place holders. I can mail it to you or send it per icq.

[Ekin]

@Crazyjoe: ohh that would be great...really aprreciated...Well you know Scenarist is not an easy program to learn....any help way that will help me to understand it more will be great..Sorry for not understanding all of the stuff you've said...but really appreciated that you're helping me..thanks..you can email me at

maimai1minh@aol.com that have more space... or

anhlunnhaque@yahoo.com
