VobBlanker 1.5.1.0 is out: A tool to blank, cut or replace titles and Menus

[jsoto]

Sorry CoNS, for any reason, I didn't see your post. Great to know we found it!
The conclusion is clear:
There is a bug (omission :) ) in VobBlanker. I've to modify the Cell type in the own cell (it is discontinous with the previous) and in following one when blanking/replacing cells (and also when cutting PGCs in the middle of a Cell, may be I'll solve some problems in this way)

@jsoto

Can this SCR issue be at all related to the issues I have been having when cutting PGCs?

BTW: How does this flag work. I see PGCs with different values here for each cell (soemtimes 8, others 2 and others 10) and no idea what they all do (although pgcedit has an explanation of the bit settings).

Can anybody explain?

I wonder if PgcEdit is able to handle so many PGCs, and how long it takes to load them. Someone has tried it?
This bunny (or is that 'cat' seeing as we are talking Garfield) tried it (R4 PAL). About an hour to load (P3-500 384MB). I also got 10 minute pauses at times while editing. The slow bit is saving DVD at the end. I've now been "Writing VTS 6 IFO" for about 12 hours with 97-99% CPU Load - No idea whether the finish is in sight.

Now torn between scrapping this editing (as I'm only skipping warnings etc) and just back it up without any editing (just small amount of shrinking).

......As I type this it just finished. So this goes down as the longest PGCEdit I've ever done - about 14 hours start to finish.

Hum! I'm not proud!
But take in mind that PgcEdit is written in an interpreted language, without pointers and the like. It's difficult to speed it up.
However, I wonder why it is so slow to save the DVD. Maybe I'll found a way to shorten the save duration...
Another thing I may try in the future is to buy Tcl/Tk Pro package. It's a little bit expensive, but it has a bytecode compiler, a profiler, and some other useful tools. I just need some more donations... :sly:

Wouldn't worry....there's not too many around with 30,000+ PGC's. Must have been a painful one for them to build in the first place.

Donation coming your way shortly...been meaning to for a while for the programs I've settled into using frequently.

A new way of stupid copy protection!
No, It isn't. It is a kind of game made with DVD...., very poor BTW. This is an old thread and the DVD is Gardfield.

Copy protection methods are always oriented to protect main movie, because there are many many people happy with movie-only backups, and the main movie is the content to be protected..
