1st June 2004, 11:34

well ifoupdate isn't really for using with dvdshrink as it should take care of it all, but no harm in trying.

my post on http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76713 tells u which options to use, but doesn't go through what each option means.

hope it does work with a simple step like this though ;)

edit: not sure what it would make of the newly authored menu's though, give it a try, u will have to copy all vob files from shrink into a folder of original ifo's (although VIDEO_TS.VOB might not like that).

hello jsoto,
i recently discovered vobblanker. looks like a really good and useful tool to me! :) (i didn't had the real need to use it yet, just played around a bit with it)
Maybe you have seen my post Exchanging Audio-Streams in VOBs (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75592). In brief: I would like to replace space consuming 5.1ch ac3/dts tracks during backup with lower-bitrate 2ch mp2 versions (converted via BeSweet). Useful for bonus tracks like 2nd language or so. But also music DVDs with large LPCM tracks!
After seeing vobblanker, i would say that this is exactly the right tool for this! :)
Is it possible to add a functionality to replace audio tracks and not only to strip them off? I don't know if there has to be taken care for things like audio-delay etc. but i'm sure you know what to do to make it work correctly.
To make it simple: Demultiplexing of audio tracks can be done manually/externally with existing software (although i'm not sure if selecting the right (wanted) audio-track is easy with other software). Also the conversion from ac3/dts to mp2 can be done manually/externally with BeSweet. So the core functionality to replace one audio track by another (Select file...) would suffice. (just like replacing a PGC).
Nonetheless it would be nice to have also the demultiplexing and calling BeSweet in vobblanker, so the user does not has to do this manually. But maybe that's outside the focus of vobblanker.
How do you think about it?

Thank you and
greetings,
Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

Yes, I've read yor post about 5.1 audio tracks. But VobBlanker has not (and is not going to have) the ability to author/mux needed to do the replacement. I suggest you to reauthor the title with other tool and then replace it with VobBlanker. I usually do it with DVD2SVCD (+mdvdauth), reencoding the video and also the audio.

Beware about audio strip and cut abilities of VobBlanker. They do not correct all the pointers in the VOBs, so a mock strip using IfoEdit is required. I've been a little bit busy at work and lately I did not find much free time to improve VobBlanker. I've a new version with some minor improvements, but there are some bugs still not fixed.

Can you explain why audio replacement won't be included in vobblanker? Is it technically difficult? Don't get me wrong, i just want to know if it's realistic to wait/ask for this (elsewhere).

Do i get this right? You mean:
- Extracting the main movie (or whatever contains the big audio track).
QUESTION: What's the bet way to do this? Using vobblanker -> 'strip' the wanted PGC, producing a new DVD folder/file structure (vobs + ifos) only with the main movie?
- Reencoding/transcoding this with DVD2SVCD/ReJig/DVD-RB (including audio conversion to mp2).
NOTICE: Actually i don't want to compress the video-part here, because at this point, i don't know what compression to choose!
- Then replacing the original main movie with the new encoded/transcoded version using vobblankers PGC 'replace'?

Could work. Thank you for the tip! But i have some concerns (although i don't want to criticize this solution):
- It's complicate & time consuming.
- There can happen a lot of errors.
- This is a very unintuitive way of doing backups

My goal is to have a one place solution where you can play around with all parameters (audio + video compression; selecting/deselecting
PGCs, subtitles, audio tracks) to see how they influence eachother (compression ratios) and to estimate what to do and what to leave. Imagine DVD-Shrink where you can also choose the audio-compression and immediately see the change in compression ratios for other parts of the DVD. (Example: Maybe the main video don't has to be compressed at all, because compressing audio to mp2 + leaving out some extras is enough to get it on DVD-5..) You can decide what bitrate to use for mp2 to get to the final size. You can decide what audio tracks to compress (main movie, or 3 extra clips), etc. pp. This is just not possible when you have to do everything manually + separated from eachother.
I just don't understand why no one else feels that this is something really needful!!! :confused: :confused:

Can you explain why audio replacement won't be included in vobblanker? Is it technically difficult? Yes, it's difficult. Simply it is out of my knowledge and possibilities. If I understood well how DVD-RB works, it could do the job, but not sure...

What you are asking for is a dvdshrink like GUI with the ability to show you the ratios changing more things that the ones allowed by dvdshrink. Yeah, it could be nice to have, but compression ratios are not a good indication of the quality to be achieved. Well, may be using transcoders they could be useful, but not if you are using an encoder. The parameter which gives you the quality indication of the encoded video is, in the case of CCE, the Q factor.

Let me elaborate a little bit on how I'm doing the backups (may be its useful for you):
1.- I decide the extras to keep and the ones to blank.
2.- I decide the resolution to apply in extras, (DVD, Half DVD or even VCD). Usually, extras have not a good quality, so using a full resolution is a waste of bit rate
3.- I encode the extras with DVD2SVCD, using OPV CCE, with a fixed and relatively high Q (usually 35)
4.- Using VobBlanker I replace the encoded extras and blank the undesired ones. In this step I also blank the main movie, so the resulting DVD has no main movie, but I know how much space should be used by the main movie to fill the DVD.
5.- Encode the main movie with DVD2SVCD+D2SRoBa using as "CD size" the available space, and selecting the audio tracks and bitrate I want. See the achieved Q. If too high, apply filters or delete some audio or even some extras...
6.- Replace the blanked main movie with the D2S encoded one.
7.- Final modifications with IFOEdit, AddChapter: Command tables of blanked PGCs, adding chapters...
8.- Verification with dvdshrink and powerDVD

I know my method has a lot of manual work, but I'm able to do what I want in every PGC and I enjoy doing the work...

Probably a dumb question, but can VobBlanker be used to blank the intro warnings and studio logos that clutter most DVDs? These look to be in the VIDEO_TS.VOB file, and I don't see anyway to preview or blank the titles.

I know this can be done with IFOEdit, but I am getting spoiled by DVD Shrink, TitlesetBlanker, and VobBlanker, and am looking for simpler ways to do things.

jsoto

21st June 2004, 00:13

@johnmeyer
No. Vobblanker does nothing with menus (and VIDEO_TS.VOB is a menu)

Deleting playback is very simple in IFOEdit, but the cell still will be there (as "unreferenced material"). Usually this is not a problem, because usually are of small size.

Maybe it's worth a try to ask jdobbs (Author of DVD-RB) or Derrow (IfoEdit) if they can help you and provide some info/code for the demuxing/remuxing?!! If you're willing to add this functionality to VobBlanker.
You know, i really think that VobbBlanker is the right place for this! For a complete solution, VobBlanker has already 90% of what's needed (the GUI, selecting PGCs / audio tracks, ...) the remaining 10% is just this audio demuxing/remuxing thing!

Silly noobie question...I actually did this very thing on my first "blank", but the warnings/logos were in a VTS, so your statement doesn't apply to me right?

Also, I just found the util and it is great! I saw mentions of some bugs, etc, but it seems that the basic "blank" functionality is pretty solid, not requiring the use of Ifoedit, etc, in most cases. Is that true?

sweetness

8th July 2004, 15:57

@motster
vobblanker can not blank any menu files like VIDEO_TS.VOB or VTS_0X_0.VOB (X being titleset) sometimes warnings/logos are located there. If you get something you want to blank that is in the VIDEO_TS.VOB just use TitleSet Blanker v0.9.5 with merge cell and programs checked. then use vobblanker to blank out other titles.

motster

8th July 2004, 16:42

@sweetness,

Ok, I guess they were in _1+ files, not in _0 :-) Is this functionality coming? (Sorry if i missed this answer in a post somewhere!) Seems also like DVDREmake Pro can do this already (but of course isn't free!)

burnout

9th July 2004, 11:45

blanking the _1+ files is the main feature of vobblanker. select your VTS and then the title you want to blank, if u want to blank a whole VTS then select all titles and blank them ;) (this helps keep the original structure of the DVD preserved)

9th July 2004, 18:41

Hi,

I have been trying to back up some dvds that are
episodes from a tv show. The way the dvd is set up,
the first PCG is all 4 episodes, then there are
4 additional PCG's that have the cells for the
individual episode.

The problem is that I want to remove the beginning
and end credits from each episode, but since vobblanker
marks PCG's 2 thru 5 as having reused cells, trying
to cut from them does nothing - the resulting output
is the same size as the original.

This means that I have to edit PCG 1 about 8 times.
Each time chopping out one of the credit segments.

Would it be possible selecting a reused cell for
cutting that vobblanker cut the 'original' cell?

sweetness

9th July 2004, 19:01

@hf look at my post http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73145&perpage=20&pagenumber=4 about half way down the page.(the one with colour)

note:reused cells are blanks cells they just refer to another cell. try demux with vobedit and look at the reused ones.

10th July 2004, 00:10

I hadn't noticed your previous message. I tried what you said, it would
work fine for the example you give where the reused cell is only a few
minutes long, but what I have are 4 one hour long episodes. What ends
up happening is that the 7GB original dvd size becomes 14GB! I didn't
have time to try it yet, but I guess I would then have to entirely blank
out the first PGC that has all 4 episodes and then renumber the vob ids
in the other PGCs to match the original numbers. I was worried though
that blanking out the first PGC would screw things up so the first PGC
is broken.

jsoto

12th July 2004, 17:32

This means that I have to edit PCG 1 about 8 times. I do not understand this. Selecting PGC 1, (the first occurrence of the cell) the blanking/cutting process should work.

jsoto

12th July 2004, 18:30

Yes, selecting PCG1 and selecting a part to cut does
work. Let me explain the dvd setup. The disk contains
4 1 hour long episodes. The content for each episode
is in 5 VobIDs. Episode 1 is 1-5, episode 2 is 6-10,
episode 3 is 11-15 episode 4 is 16-20.
There are 5 PCGs. The first PCG is the 'Play all' program
so PCG1 contains VobIDs 1-20. The next 4 PCG's are the
individual episodes so PCG 2 has vobids 1-5, PCG 3 has
vobids 6-10 etc.

Since PCG 2 - 5 are reused, you can't use vobblanker
to cut them. The preview window will come up and you
can select start and end points, but when you click ok
to dismiss the "cut" window, on the main screen shows
that the output size has not changed. If you go ahead
and process the dvd anyway the written out files are
the same size as the originals.

The way parts of the episodes are laid out is:
1) recap of previous episode,
2) a few minutes of episode,
3) beginning credits,
4) rest of episode,
5) ending credits,

So using the notation Ex.y where 'x' is the episode number
and 'y' is one of the above parts of the episode, PCG1 looks
like this:

E1.1 E1.2 E1.3 E1.4 E1.5 E2.1 E2.2 E2.3 E2.4 E2.5 E3.1 E3.2 E3.3 E3.4 E3.5 E4.1 E4.2 E4.3 E4.4 E4.5

So what I end up having to do is process the PCG multiple
times cutting some of the stuff out in each pass since the
program does not let you select multiple sections to cut
with in a single PCG.

Pass 1: cut E1.1 and E4.5
Pass 2: cut E1.3
Pass 3: cut E1.5 and E2.1
Pass 4: cut E2.3
Pass 5: cut E2.5 and E3.1
Pass 6: cut E3.3
Pass 7: cut E3.5 and E4.1
Pass 8: cut E4.3

very tiring!

sweetness

12th July 2004, 20:42

maybe they're not reused cells look at my post at the bottom (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73145&perpage=20&pagenumber=2)
PGC_2 has two cells but it reuses only one blank cell at the end which makes vobblanker mark the entry as reused.
can you post some of the ifo's or PM them to me.

Is the link to vobBlanker down?

jsoto

19th July 2004, 18:10

Just a little suggestion: please add a command line parsing that will make possible to associate VobBlanker with VOB, IFO or BUP files, and have the DVD already opened for you when starting it with the "Open with" Vindows feature. This will save some time.

How can I do this?. Currently (vers 1.3, unreleased), CLI support is included, but with an ini file (with saved settings) as input parameter.

And please add a checkbox to be able to disable the backup creation...
:confused: No backup is done by VobBlanker. It creates new files and keeps the originals untouched.

Is the link to vobBlanker down?
Both links work to me...

I still have a couple of weeks before holidays. So, please test it and if you find a serious bug, may be I have enough time to fix it.

This is the changelog (not many things, but I was a little busy...)
- Save/load projects last PGC bug
- CLI support
- Log window/file instead of message boxes during execution.
- Audio attr
- VID/CID in cells. Cell List dialog
- Ability to extract cells, even if they are interleaved
- Convert ILV cells in non-interleaved ones. Beware: VOBU pointers are
not modified inside the VOBs (Still needs a IFOEdit's mock strip)

jsoto

BTW, I've tested the de-interleave abilities with Alien3 and Alien Resurrection. DVD-RB was able to process the resulting DVDs. I also run DVD-RB with both PGCs not interleaved (Normal + especial edition, without blanking the last one). The resulting DVDs (also not interleaved) are played in some settops without any interruption but others show a very small discontinuity in the cell changes.

motster

21st July 2004, 15:10

When I hear about mock strip, etc, I get a little nervous. If I'm just going and blanking things in VTS sets, do I need to worry about any extra steps? Will there be any warning flags if a title is interleaved, angles, etc? (If not, can there be, for the anxious folks like me? :-))

jsoto

21st July 2004, 18:22

@motster
Actually, you only need additional steps (mock strip, etc) if you are doing special things like:
- Strip audio tracks
- Cut PGC's in the middle of a Cell
- And now, De-Interleaving cells

Seems it's time to code this ... I was lazy on this, because you can easily do it with IFOedit.

About warnings:
No, no warnings are issued to the user if you are managing a multiangle/interleaved DVD. But you can see it in the displayed info ( # Angles and ILV flags )

21st July 2004, 19:07

jsoto,

Sorry to add to your workload :-) I think warnings might be a good idea, if the operation is something that you know won't work but will appear to work regardless. People can always "uncheck" a warning box option if they don't want to see it anymore...

For those who go through a lot of discs, I imagine it can be easy to forget to look at at the angles, etc, and might turn out a bad disc if they were in a hurry.

jsoto

22nd July 2004, 00:19

@all
Beware: De-interleaving is done with "keep" option. No special option for this new feature.

I'm going to log some warnings related with Angles and ILV...

25th July 2004, 20:18

jsoto, when u have the cells window open and right click a cell it says extract cell but when u click it then it doesn't function

and also on the matrix (i think because of duplicate pgc's) it shows that the output will be bigger than the input when u change nothing, but the actual output is the same size.

also the remove IlVu options seems to work fine, but i don't know in what way it will change the playback :)

jsoto

26th July 2004, 11:21

.. and right click a cell it says extract cell but when u click it then it doesn't function I'll look into it. In any case the button works, doesn't it?

.. it shows that the output will be bigger than the input when u change nothing I knew this problem. It's due the ILV cells and how VobBlanker calculates (in a wrong way) the size. I know how to fix it.

.. the remove IlVu options seems to work fine, but i don't know in what way it will change the playback This is my concern. AFAIK, the first PGC will not have any playback problems, but the second one can have, due its de-interleaved cells will be physically located at the end of the first PGC. In fact, this can be a test about how good is your player, and if it has enough data in memory to allow the laser header to do the required movements.

jsoto

26th July 2004, 21:47

yeah, done some testing today (but i forgot the mock strip). i ran the matrix through vobblanker then straight into dvd-rb, the dvd plays fine with powerDVD but on my standalone the first pgc plays fine as u said, but on 1 of the other pgc's u can't rewind back over where an IlVu cell was previously. Gonna do some more testing over the next couple of days on it :cool:

oh yeah, and the button works fine, just thought i would point out the right click method doesn't :)

Hi!

I thought I could use this tool to replace a titleset with a small image saying that the title has been removed or is on the second disc. There is only one problem with that... How can I transform an image file to a vob that has a given number of cells (the same as the tittle to be replaced)? Can someone give me some simple directions or point to them?

Thanx

jsoto

30th July 2004, 08:53

@sapient
Assuming you have the image in bmp format (if not use a graphic tool to get it in this format), you can encode it in mpeg with avisynth)

LoadPlugin("Avisynth BMP Loader.dll")
Blackness(1)
AssumeFPS(25)
ConvertToYUY2
BicubicResize(720,576)
AvisynthBMP_Loader("D:\output_folder","my_image.bmp")
BicubicResize(720,576)

So, after that, you will have a mpv video stream. Now, use an authoring program (i.e. IFOEdit) to multiplex this video stream with an audio stream (you can get a ac3 silence generator from my homepage). At the end, you will have a VOB (and its IFOs, BTW). Now, you can strip (with IFOedit VOBextras button) the audio and you will get a VOB with only video.

Now, using VOBEdit, "join Clips" option you can build a VOB with several Cells, with the the same or different image in each cell, or you can use your newly authored VOB as "custom image" in AddChapter, which will insert this image as a chapter at the end of the selected PGC

Hope this helps.

jsoto

NOTE: IIRC, Avisynth BMP Loader.dll is a dll created by dvd2svcd, included in dvd2svcd package, but not available in avisynth homepage.

30th July 2004, 09:11

there's another solution (much simpler IMHO):
DVD-Shrink 3.2 has the ability to replace TitleSets with still images. just set the compression to 'no compression', choose your preferred image and process the DVD.

Btw. the resulting video containing the still image will have the same length as the original video from the TitleSet. That means i can have a significant size.

Greetings,
Malcolm

jsoto

30th July 2004, 17:48

I do not play too much with this new feature of dvdshrink, but seems to me the option of image still is not size optimized.
AFAIK, dvdshrink substitutes every VOBU by the image, so the still will be repeated too many times in the VOB.
VobBlanker will save more space, because it works in a Cell based way.

In any case, dvdshrink is a fantastic, great (I have no words to describe it...) tool. And now it has a very improved transcoding engine. What more can you ask for?

Thanx Jsoto for making this tool :D
Easy and simple software that gets the job done,
Most of the vob's in the Hellboy movie that needed to be skipped were done in a breeze. Only the video_vts.vob,needed to be done with IfoEdit.
Still wrestling with that file as it is still not blank, 1 other warning appeared when playing it in Nero Showtime (but it doesn't show up in DVD2AVI :confused:
Anyway, Jsoto, 1 question (for u or any-one else how knows): How come that the video_vts.vob, shows up blank (no enties in the bottom window)in Vobblanker, although it contains 4 VobID's?
Oke, the light went back on, it are just subtitles, so will strip those from it :cool:

if you use the right blank then DVDShrink uses around 30mb per 1GB replaced so the space isn't really that much that it wastes now :). It's when people start using fancy graphics that it wastes far too many precious MB's

as for the playback time, a few hacks sharp fix that if you know where to look ;) and hopefully DVDShrink or someone else will soon automate this

Blueboy

19th August 2004, 14:54

If the size is doubling, then you are probably cutting something
that has reused cells. VobBlanker will output the cells twice
making them no longer reused, but also making the file size much
bigger.

Hi all,

I've been working on VobBlanker and I've put a lot of effort in this version, mainly in bugfixing, but also in other areas, like pointer adjustmens (no more mock strip is needed).

As usual, any test report is welcome. I'm sure there still are some bugs inside.

Here is the changelog
Vers 1.4.0.1 (22-08-2004)

Added: Help file included. My English is not very good, but I hope it is enough to be understood.
Added: New option of processing a PGC using a Cell based selection. Each cell can be individually blanked, keep or replaced by a new one.
Added: Change post into precommands, following 2COOL's guide. Solid and Conditional Breaks in precommand area are converted into goto commands.
Added: Adjust navigational pointers and audio/video pointers inside VOBs. No more IFOEdit mock strip is needed (I hope)
Added: Warning in the case of Multiangle or ILV Cells when open VIDEO_TS.IFO. VTSs are now marked as SKIP
Added: Logs steps when processing IFOs
Added: Warning if cutting in a not closed GOP.
Added: Deactivating audio in IFO when stripping.
Changed: TMAPTI calculation loop has been improved (mainly in performance)
BugFix: CLI mode was always activating the creation of debug log files.
BugFix: A lot of bugs in Audio Attrib/Strip dlgs
-Size of audio tracks in Attrib dlg were wrong
-Size of audio tracks in the case of reused cells were wrong
-Active streams in each title
-Many more...
BugFix: Discontinuity in TMAPTI table was not correctly filled.
BugFix: Duration of last VOBU in a Cell was not added when calculating the Cell duration. This error was cummulated in PGC duration. In any case I believe it does not affect...
BugFix: Popup menu in Cells Dlg (extract cell) didn't work.
BugFix: Size calculations (and progress bar) now take into account menus processing setting
BugFix: Size calculations are now based on ADT table instead of PGC. This should fix the size estimation errors in the case of ILV cells.
BugFix: Preview/cut in an ILV cell.
BugFix: Cell elapsed time in VOBs correction when cuting titles (both cases)
BugFix: TMAPTI was not correctly filled when cutting titles.
BugFix: Cut titles feature had been completely broken in 1.3.0.3
BugFix: Crash when processing VIDEO_TS.IFO if VMGM_PGCI_UT=0 (like in simple & no-menu DVDs, i.e. created with dvdauthor or dvdshrink)

Thank you jsoto, then I have to use other tools to remove that. When do you plan adding capabilities of modifying menus as well?
I appreciated some very useful additions in the new version. This tool becoming better fast.

This tool seems to work pretty well. How ever you went about learning how to program, you did it the right way. The only feature I can think about wanting is if you could allow the editing of each cell by itself instead of modifying the entire pgc as a whole. Some dvds have openings and intros that I need to remove and sometimes a few seconds of them bleed onto other cells and it makes it hard to modify a whole pgc in one edit. Thanks for your hard work.

you can do that with vobblanker. just click the pgc# entry you want to edit and hit the prev/cut button. now select the first cell you want to blank with the GO TO CELL #(lets just say cell 1 for an example)and hit mark button in the inital mark section. now go to cell 2 and with the slider under that go to the sector(lba) where you want your cut to end and then hit the mark button in the end mark section. last thing is to select the cut movie in the action between marks section. then ok

if you what to cut the first part and last part then use the keep moive option, just mark the beginning and ends of the part you want to keep.
