hex value in d2v

[empty]

I wanted to know how to calculate the offset of a d2v-File by understanding the hex values in:
Location=0,46CF,0,1B7B2
after searching the forum I found:
"the file offset divided by 2048) & the file number (if using multiple files)" (answered by Nic)
Sorry, but I don't understand that hint.:( I've tested a lot of possibilities but unfortunately with no success.
For example what framenumber does mean 46CF? I know it's a hex value and tried it with the corresponding dec value but can't gain any valid value.:confused: Could anybody enlighten me?
THX in advance bb empty

0x46CF does not mean a frame number. It means that the frame starts at byte position 0x46CF (18127) * 0x800 (2048) = 0x2367800 (37124096) or about 37MB into the vob file. This is because when you cut out a portion of the movie, it would be very impractical to count the frames from the start of the vob. Instead by specifying a byte (or sector) offset, DVD2AVI/mpeg2dec knows exactly how far into the file it can skip without any further parsing of the file.

And at the top of the .d2v you'll find a list of the vobs that is used in the .d2v, and this list in a numbered list, starting with number zero for the first file, a quite common way of counting in computers. Not always easy to think in that way, but easy to program.

Unfortunately I'm not lucky about this fact, because my idea is now only trash.:( But that's not your fault and I feel happy about your help.;)
BTW: Your article about PAL DVDs concerning "il buono, il brutto, il cattivo":D is really great. THX for all this information.
