phantom menace authoring

[barkilphedro]

Did any1 of you experienced such an error in scenarist:
==========
Error Scene<VTS__01_V006.I-BFF.16~9_1_2> and <VTS__01_V005.I-BFF.16~9_1_35> <VTS_1(VTS Title Domain)> would be connected Seamlessly but the following conditions are illegal:
Error
Logically Adjacent is No.(see DVD Book VI3-85)
=============
I'm trying to author The Phantom Menace (pal version) after having ripped it by vobid. The DVD structure has 2 angle. And the error occour when I try to drop the 2nd track with 2 angles on the scenario editor. The strange is that the 1st track with angles works well.
:confused:

Just a guess but I think ripping by VobID is probably the start of you trouble.

Just a guess but I think ripping by VobID is probably the start of you trouble. ??

I don't quite get this remark. Sometimes ripping bij vobid is the only way to go.

I've had this error message several times and as far as I remember it has someting to do with multiple pgcs in which you reuse video (seamless branching). I'm not sure sure, but it's either that you use a connection that is exactly the same or the other way around.

Example:

you have vobids 1,2,3 (angle 2),4 (layer break) and 5 (layer break)

pgc 1 has the following layout
1,2,3,4

pgc2
1,2,3,5

You get this message when you try to use vobid4 in both pgcs or if you use two different ones, not quite sure.

so try both:
pgc1
1,2,3,4
pgc2
1,2,3,4

or
pgc1
1,2,3,4
pgc2
1,2,3,5

It's probably very confusing ;). To be more helpful I probably need to know the ifostructure and the way you authored it.

First of all I wish to thank you, Influenza, for your fast reply and then I wish explain more myself about the trouble.

The DVD structure itself is quite simple (command to set general and system parameters apart).

PCG_1 has 7 VobId (1 to 7)chained in TT1
There are PGC_2 To PGC_10 TTN2 to 9 (in addition to PGC_1) in the same VTS_1 but we are not interested in as there are no problems to recreate the DVD structure for these, so let's concentrate to PGC_1.
I cant'put the structure here as I don't know how to copy it from IFOEDIT and paste it here. Sorry.
I will try to explain using my terrible English.

I think that the difference btw seamles and non seamless Angle is something like this:
- in not seamless angle the video track are the same( identical duration) but you can put in different audio tracks of the same duration too (this is the case of Phantom Menace where angle 1 is for english audio and track 2 for italian audio but the angles share the same video track).

- in seamless the video track are different (although identical duration is required too) but they share the same audio track (and we are not interested in for this case).

Now in Phantom Menace (italian pal version) the angles are in VobId 2/3 identical video track but different audio 0x80 for english and 0x81 for Italian; and in VobId 6/7 (same music, same video track but different audio 0x80 for english and 0x81 for Italian). The other VobId are not a broblem to put into the structure.

I've made the needed chapters using the new scene in scenarist in order to create the exact amount of cells and chapter as the orginal structure. I Put 2 angles (VOBID2 and VOBID3 made of the identical video and identical duration in non seamless angle with different audio and the same i did for VOBID6 and VOBID7)
I can almost recreate exactly the original structure of the DVD, dropping chapters into program or cell, even with angle 1 and 2 till VOBID 5.
The error I mentioned occour when I try to drop the 1st cell of VOBID6 into the last Chapter of VOBID5 to create a Cell to reproduce the original structure.
If you need some more information about structure and scenarist image of the scenario editor in scenarist I cand send them by e-mail as I don't know how to put images in here.
I know my english is horrible and I am not sure I've explained myself well. sorry for that.

Hi barkilphedro, also I am trying to reauthor Phantom Menace italian pal. You could give a glance to this guide http://dvdguides.trilight.net (scenarist multiangle guide).

Hope this help you!

PS Se sei italiano come credo, posso mandarti una mail per parlarti della mia esperienza in merito?

[barkilphedro]

Thank you orwell, I already knew the trilight guide because I've read them carefully although sometime I need to reread his guides or other guides over doom9.org.

I did Phantom Menace and it full works. Menus and other things are all ok.
The trouble was the first cell of VOBID 5 which I connected not seamless (because scenarist 2.7 did it by default) whit the last cell of VOBID4. It seems scenarist 3.0 can overcome the trouble.
Now I am reauthoring Clones Attack which has the identical same structure of Phantom Menace.


P.S. yes I am Italian and please do feel free to send me any e-mail you want about authoring DVDs
