Hi....

Now this problem is quite funny, wondering how this can be.
when I simply remove all the varnings and I start the movie I just se a black screen but it is still playing, the seconds are still going, and after like 20 secs it stops.
This is where the 20th century Fox logo would display. But the funny thing is is that when I start to rewind then I will see the logo screen. And when it is done it jumps to the menu as normally.

So what makes the screen black when I remove the warnings, even when I chose the forst PGC to Title 2 (which the first logo is before the menu) But when I chose the Title 2 manually within the IFOedits player... then it showing

---tech---
the VIDEO_TS.VOB contains only warnings in different languages, there are 17 IDs. There are 9 Video Manager Menu in the ifo file.
the 2nd is used by 1,2 IDs
the 3rd is used by 3-16 IDs
and the 9yh is used by the 17th
the rest is blank

the First Play PGC is "Jump to VMG PGC: 2" (now is this meant to Menu 2?)

I must have an ID on the "Language Menu Unit - Menu 2:" where the IDs 1 and 2 are. If not then it will go playing the Title 2 black.

Any clues from the maestros in here?

First of all , what do you want to do?

save space and strip the warnings?
immediately jump to the Main menu?
or both?

If the second one, then edit your "First Play" in video-ts.ifo to jump to the titleset menu of the corresponding movie vts files. For example, vts-01 contains the movie, then edit "First Play" with only one precommand, and no other post or cell commands, to jumpss-vtsm 1,1,root.

also, "Get VTS sectors" may cure your playing problems.

well ok.... I can set the First Play to the menu direclty.... but what I wanted to really is to have the 20th Century Fox logo before the menu to start.... I am just very curious how,,,, I mean how can it play just black screen when I remove the warnings,,, but when I rewind first then I get a picture and it plays normally. First the logo then then menu....

oh well,,,, guess there is no need to bother with this.. but I did save one warning svreen... not really a warning,, just small texts and right after that the logo plays as it is suppose to.


to something completly different.....

I have made a successful copy of The Bourne Identity quite long time ago on a very good Verbatim DVD+R.... and when I watched it yesterday, after 45 minutes the player goes crazy,,, really putting an effort trying to read the disc, and the picture gets all messed up. the disc looks very clean and still something like this happens,, itīs just wrong :(
