how to author this?

[Lev]

hey guys,

i'm re-encoding and re-authoring this disc which has 2 pgcs in the first titleset and uses the same vobid twice..

here are 2 screenies of the pgc's:

http://www.patsboem.com/onzin/pgc2.jpg

as you can see vobid_11 is in both but there is also a new vobid (17) in the second pgc..

that vobid_17 is whats confusing me..

how do i author this disc?
or shouldn't i author pgc_2 and just use adjust cell mode in ifoupdate?

[killingspree]

i think you can simply do this with the 'Big 3'.

to be absolutely sure i'd have to take a look at the complete ifo file though...

oh and pls use a descriptive title for your post. e.g 'how do I reauthor a DVD with 2 PGCs which use the same vobid' :)

you mean uncheck pgc2 in doitfast4u, do everything like i normal do and use the adjust cell mode in ifoupdate?

You cannot do adjusted cell mode. Vobid17 is not used in PGC1.

i was afraid of that..
whats the sollution inf?

I'm afraid you'll have to rauthor it by vobid.

You can try to do it with the big three, but I don't know if it will work:

Do a normal pgc demux and uncheck pgc2. Encode and use ra as usual.

Also do a demux by vobid (or better demux the missing vobid17 with dvddecryptor).

After importing your RA script in scenarist you'll have pgc1 wich is ready and pgc2 wich contains a dummy.

Use the corresponding cell/chapter (that's vobid11 in the original) from the track that's created for pgc1. Drag this to pgc2. Also imort the demuxed vobid17 and create a track for that. Also drag this to pgc2.

Don't know if it will work, but I guess it will

[Zeul]

don't forget to include vob17 in your folder before running RA so that it gets included in the bitrate calculations.

[influenza]

VOBID17 is just 15 frames long, so I guess the bitrate calculation will not be off very much if you do not include it ;)

But it's a good tip if the vobid would have been longer :sly:
