Does anyone know how to (or know of a guide) place or insert vob ID's or PGC ID's while you're authoring? The reason I ask this is a lot of movies have VOB ID's inserted in the middle of the main movie file. But once you author it with maestro, for example, you lose all those VOB id's and cell id's. I'm wondering if there's anyway of keeping those ID points, (even if it means inserting it manually). I've been working mostly with maestro, but I don't think maestro has this capability. Does anyone know if scenarist has this function? Thank you for your input.

Changing VOB ID/Cell ID's has been an interest of mine for a while. You can do it manually using VOBedit, but there are hundreds of bytes to change for each VOB. I have started to write a tool in VB, but its not done, and its slow cause its not C++, wish I could get a VOB parser routine working...Anyway,I digress, you can automate the process using WINhex v10.75, you can make a script that finds the Packet Sequence Header, then jumps (I believe 21 bytes?) to insert a new VOB ID, then a couple more bytes to change the Cell ID. Have fun.
