Scenarist problem

[metatron81]

Hi Everybody!

I have some big problem. I try to reauthorist (with Scenarist) the Lilo and Stitch PAL version, and there is an extra, which is a simple game with many buttons. The buttons are not problems, I search these with vobedit, and recreate with the scenarist, but the cell commands/link commands have already brought headache to me. How can I find this commands?

And another problem: If I leave a vob file in the original form, and I create a new DVD with some new vob (reauthorist with scenarist) and some original vob (for example the Doitfast4u, less than 200MB vob file put on the VIDEO_TS directory, without work), then the power DVD (as a VIDEO-DVD in the hard disk) plays it perfectly, but the Domestic DVD player doesn't play that part of the DVD I copied without work. What is the reason?

you can leave the buttons as NOP in scenarist and just copy (meaning retype) the HEX commands back to your new VOB using vobedit or menuedit. dvd demystified (the book) tells all the commands. you may find them on their website. when i did that title i think i left the bov extra alone.. too much work for an extra, especially since the main movie is short, and animated and really didnt need alot of bitrate to look good

Cell commands are stored in the ifo, so you can easily find them there (in the command table of the pgc). Ifoupdate removes the cell commands (if your reauthored files don't have the commands). At least this is in standard mode, I believe that cell mode doesn't do that. But i usually create the cell commands in scenarist as well.

You are a King, Flu! It's almost perfect. Only Button colors differ from the original (and from the scenarist I setup).

[influenza]

Button colors can be hard to get precisely. You need good overlay/action colors and precise contrast settings.

Good luck!

[metatron81]

I got precisely! If I update "only cell mode", the colors(section/action) are not correct (everything else is perfect). But if I update "standard mode", the colors are correct (but everything else is bad).

[influenza]

first do an update in standard mode and after that do an update in cell only mode ;)

[influenza]

ehm I mean cell only mode first and after that standard mode with only the setting copy subpic tables. Dunno if this works, but it's worth a try

[metatron81]

Unfortunately It doesn't work, but thanks the help. Maybe I must configure every cell/pre/post command in the scenarist, and maybe update in cell mode. There is a cell command I can't find in the scenarist. In the Ifoedit:
"If GPreg<9> == Gpreg<0> then (CallSS VMGM) Call VMGM PGC: 2 [Resume Cell: 1]"
Do you know how it can be configured.

well as a suggestion, i would click on this link:DoItFast4U, DoCCE4U & ReAuthorist > Big 3 Tools: Guides and FAQs (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74867)
which will take you to a list of button over video guides. select the one written by influenza, and in there you will find the answers to your 'command' query (if you look for the section on creating commands for 'snatch' it details how to create a dummy VMG).

Use a "Jump to PGC in System Space" with "PGC in Video Manager" selected and "Compare" checked.

[influenza]

Yes, but you need a pgc in the VMG to do that ;) So creating a dummy wouldn't be a bad idea :D

[metatron81]

Hi Flu! I searched and found you suggested (CallSS VMGM + Dummy PGC), but I don't understand. Ok I need a Dummy PGC, but where do I put. For example: There is a VTS with 8 Title and 14 PGC (7 pieces in the TITLE 8). The Button command (in vobid 21/Title 8/PGC 2/Cell 1): (CallSS VMGM) Call VMG PGC: 3 [Resume Cell 1] I try to set this command (1.Jump to PGC in System Space. 2.Jump to PGC in Video Manger. 3.Cell for Resume (The First). 4.PGC in Video Manager, but there is nothing.), but I can't!
Could you write me precisely what I do?

You have to create a language domain in the vmg, so you can put there your dummy pgc(s). Create as many pgc as you have to but you may want to either set a puo prohibiting the user accessing the title menu (hence going somewhere she's not supposed to) or add a extra, settng it as title menu and add a pre-command jumping to your root menu.
