Importing script from RA to Scenarist Error:

[3coola]

Error The scene ( VTS_06_PGC_02, VTS06_vobid23_cellid01 ) timecode ( 00:00:00:29 ) is bigger than video duration.

I have checked the script and it's confusing!

Here is the particular rows for this PGC.

Item=Scene
{
Name=VTS06_vobid23_cellid01
Color Palette=DefaultPalette
Angle Type=Seamless
Scene Time=00:00:00:-29
Story Scenes=List
{
}
Angle Scenes=List
{
}
UOP=
{
and so on ...

This occures one more time in the script.
-29 in length can't be right?
VTS_06_PGC_02 is in fact 1 sec in length. Probably "still menu" or "still show" in Scenarist.

The time code from right to left represents hours : minutes : seconds : frames, so that 29 should actually represent frames so I'm asumming this is an NTSC title. Can you try manually editing the script to 00:00:01:00? Hmmm.... I feel like I'm missing something here :confused:

Hi,

I have examined the IFO file manually, and here is the rows for PGC_02 in VTS_06 :

PGC_2 (program chain): [Title(TTN): 2] [00:00:01.00 / 30 fps] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 22,23)
[Ch 01] [Pg 01] [Cell 01] [V/C Id: 22/ 1] : time: 00:00:00.15 / 30 fps [Pos: 00:00:00.15] [Frames: 15]
[Ch 02] [Pg 02] [Cell 02] [V/C Id: 23/ 1] Layer Br.: time: 00:00:00.15 / 30 fps [Pos: 00:00:01.00] [Frames: 30]

I suppose that I should change the time for video to 00:00:01.00,
and time for scenes in my scp script from RA, to 00:00:00.15

Could it be that RA can't handle the layer brake correctly?
The movie I'm backing up is US version of Star Trek Nemesis,
formatted to fit 4:3 screens.

I have had this problem too,in my case senarist crashes at the same point importing the same asset,i looked at the scp file and it looked fine to me,but then most of it i didn't fully understand.The cell id where the crash happens is at the end of the sequence (Item=Program) and the start of (Part of Title=Reference List)

I assumed this was a senarist only problem and in my case at least not an error in the reauthorist script

Below is a pre-search post i drafted including title,most of it just thinking aloud but hopefully helpful here.

"senerist crashes opening ReAuthorist.SCP
==============================

I have used the reauthorist method four times now on two movies,twice for each.The first time on each movie went without a hitch,the second time(for each) senarist always crashes when opening the ReAuthorist.scp.When the first crash happened i suspected it was because senarist seems to keep track of past senerios so if you redo a project senarist gets confused in some way,but now i'm not so sure.
If anyone has had this happen post it here .I'll start a new project and post the results.

I also found a bug in Doitfast4u 1.1.2beta and cce2.66.07 not being able to open ecl files for some reason so cce opens but can't open the ecl, the bug apears in docce4u yet when i go back to 1.1.1 everything works great."

@3coola:

This "Scene Time=00:00:00:-29" is a problem that I'm aware of and that I think I've fixed in my development version. It seems to happen on certain very short PGCs. Time will tell as to whether I've really got rid of the problem. Manually correcting this line to say "Scene Time=00:00:00:00" will get over it in the meantime.

@Kb_cruncher:

Could you tell me the exact error that you get in Scenarist, or is it just a plain and simple CRASH!? Do you have these negative scene times as well (it won't necessarily be -29 exactly)?

[3coola]

Hello aquabubble,

more errors on my project, after correcting the time to 00:00:00:00 for those who had 00:00:00:-29

After import I get completed button i Scenarist, but under "general" I have one error :
Error Scene duration shall be more than 0.4 second.
and when checking import log I have several errors saying:
Error Class(Sub-Picture Play) Tag(Duration, 7203) failed to paste and one more error:
Error Class(Display Stop) Tag(Start Time To Video, -255839543) failed to paste
and then some warnings:
Warning F:\dvd\st_nemesis_work\VTS07\VTS__07_P02.4~3_1.NOPULL.MPV is not supported file format. Imported as place holder
and when having several placeholders, the project won't work.
I know this is a lot of information, but perhaps I'm not the only one who have these errors/warnings in Scenarist.
Regards,
Ola

Senarist just plain crashes every time at the same position importing VTS_01_PGC_01_cell025 with "senarist has encountered a problem and needs to close".I will try the same project again aswell as a new one to see if it happens again but this isn't the only time senarist has crashed.

I don't have the negative times as the part of the script that senarist crashes on does not have any time reference at all as in my post.

I've got the same problem over here (Error The scene (VTS_2_PGC_2, VTS02_vobid7_cellid01) timecode (00:00:00:10) is bigger than video duration) everytime i have a dvd with a "biography-feature" (or something similar with some stills and navigation within an PGC). (In this case, vobid7 was the first one with the stills).

[aquabubble]

@FH2 - I'm afraid that RA is not compatible with the type of PGC you mention (still/slide shows). You will need to author these PGCs manually for now. Sorry! :)
