BatchUpdateIFO 0.9.0.3 beta

[XadoX]

i'm runnin the german Final. The System is complety new installed with a slipstream CD.

System Specs:

WindowsXP Pro
AMD 2500XP+
Nforce2 Mainboard + Nforce 4.27 Driver
512MB Kinston Value Ram
1 SATA Harddrive
2 IDE Drives (one as System Drive)


Another Point is that one week before i have installed the SP2 on the working mashine as Update, and after it BatchIFO works also fine for me, but with a complete fresh slipstream install nothing happens by clicking on it now
:confused:

[Trahald]

yeah.. i just ran sp2 as an update.

im attaching a file to test something.. i stripped something out of the initinstance that may be causeing it to fail to load. lemme know how this works for u

<attachment removed>

[XadoX]

still the same problem...

i also tried it on several fresh installed computers and always the same symptom.

Maybee there's missing some kind of dll?

[Trahald]

interesting.. possibly something we all are installing on older installations that batchupdate is using but not there on new installs. i'll look over the code and do some googleing.. if push comes to shove i'll setup a separate install to figure it out..

[Trahald]

here is another attachment to try. just see if it comes up.. you can immediately close it.

<edit> attachment not needed

[XadoX]

still won't start... sh...

[Trahald]

xadox.. heh.. thanx for testing. that last version i commented out pretty much everything before where the gui paints.. dunno whats doing it.. i'll look into it over the next few days

[D3s7]

I'd think it was one of the SP2 problems but i'm running int w/ no problems

xadox: is it really running (active process) and just not painting or not running at all?

what's the eventlogs show for application?

I'm thinking somehow SP2 is blocking it thinking it's an unsigned application or something....

[Trahald]

i did a clean sp2 install and it wont load up.. it doesnt even come up on the process list. bad thing is while doing the clean sp2 install i totally #!@*!& up my regular install.. so when i recover that (hopefully) i'll trouble shoot the issue

[XadoX]

oh thats bad. hope you can recover everything right :(

[Trahald]

Ok.. i was able to get my regular install going. im going to try to trouble shoot this in a VM so i dont have to reboot so much.. i'll keep posted on progress

[XadoX]

i'm glad to hear :D

[Trahald]

Ok.. d3s7 and I figured out the issue. the common dialog control i use for the directory (when you hit the browse button) isnt distributed with windows xp. On an old install something you would have installed would have tossed it in.. but on a fairly new install that may not be the case. so anyways.. you have to get COMDLG32.ocx (you can find it on the net or in one of your old running installs) and toss it in the \windows\system32 directory and register it
regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.ocx and that should do the trick.. since im serving this program off the forum im keeping the exe small so i probably wont do a formal installer until i host it, so i wont be including that file.

[XadoX]

Great Job!

Now everything works fine again :D

Big thx to Trahald & d3s7 :thanks:

If you don't wanna worry about the source you're getting this ActiveX control from and hunting for the right version, here's the signed CAB direct from Microsoft:

http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/comdlg32.cab

Unpack and right+click the included .INF, choose install and you're all set with the latest version of COMDLG32.OCX (6.1.97.82).

Took me a couple tries to get a working version cause v5 of this control is not compatible with batch+updateifo and v6 is a bit more elusive via Google for some reason.



Sorry, you still have toregsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.ocxbefore the control is registered properly; the INF doesn't do it for some reason.

[Trahald]

thank you spuniun! :goodpost:

[jarthel]

in IFOupdate, there's an setting called "Copy color table in each PGC".

Is this the same as "Copy color map" in batchifoupdate?

thanks :)

[influenza]

yep

Seems I run into a problem when using BatchIfoUpdate on the R1 Seinfeld DVD's. Just before you choose an episode to watch, it shows you certain warnings. If BacthIfoUpate is used, it crashes right after these warnings. If you were to go back and select the episode again, it will work, as these warnings only play the very first time. Upon using Ifoupdate 0.78 the problem does not arise. I am using v 0.9.0.4 of BatchIfoUpdate.


Just thought i'd bring this up.

hi [SLiM]D12 and welcome to the forum!

nice to see that you finally decided to join us here instead of hiding out in irc all the time :p

few questions:

when you say it 'crashes' are you referring to a software player or hardware player?

have you tested in ifoedit/play?

are these warnings part of the VMG/Title Set Menu or are they a seperate PGC in a VTS?

what options are you using in batchifoupdate/ifoupdate?

if you are using batchifoupdate 0.9.0.4, why did you post in the 0.9.0.3 thread? :sly: sorry mate .. couldnt resisit :D

anyways, nice to see you finally posting here

rock on

[[SLiM]D12]

Look, stop giving me a hard time, i'm a n00b to this.


i've used PowerDVD and Ifoedit, dont wanna burn to test it sorry.


The only settings i have disabled in both are "Copy Audio and Subtitle tables".

The warnings themselves are in the VIDEO_TS.VOB and i obviously dont wanna just delete that to ruin the structure of the DVD.


Lemme know what else you need :)

[SLiM]

[Trahald]

I'm going to get that dvd set and see if i can duplicate the problem. Thankfully its something i can test on a software player.

[Zeul]

[SLiM]D12.
Try running the trace utility of pgcedit, and do a comparison, between the ifopdated version & the batch version. This will produce a trace of the command structure. Have the UOPs been removed from the PGCs? you can check this easily in Ifoedit. They can make a huge difference. Also if you open up the Batch created ifo in ifoedit and save it, are any errors thrown by ifoedit?

[[SLiM]D12]

Ok to be honest, i grabbed that pgcedit and couldn't really figure out wtf i was doing, so i scrapped it.


UOP's removed on both versions and there were no errors in idoedit at all when getting VTS sectors or removing UOP's and saving.

[Trahald]

Thats why im getting it to see.. I'll probably have some questions for you if i cant duplicate the error (I dont want any open issues with batchupdate) . Thank you slimD12

[[SLiM]D12]

Of course, as jel has stated, i always tend to keep errors about any probgrams hosted here to myself without posting. That will change from now on. If you don't find me here, i'm always on irc as well.


Believe it or not I think Disc 1 was fine, but i know the rest didn't work, so you may wanna try disc 3 first or something

[Trahald]

I see the problem.. the ifo updating is fine, its the region free part that fails.. specifically the RCE removal. the code i use that backsteps to set the region to whatever you set didnt return the reader back to the right place. corrected in 0905. btw, ifoupdate didnt attempt to remove the rce at all.

[nukec]

why batch ifo update, wrotes authored movie in original map? after that we have authored 1GB vobs and original 1GB vobs in one directory =/

[Trahald]

huh?

batchupdate takes the new (authored) vobs from scenarist/muxman( '\muxman\video_ts' or '\0\video_ts' ) and moves them to the original directory '\video_ts ' ... there should only be menu files in the original directory (and very small *_1.vob files).. before update is run.. there shouldnt be any of original files over 1gb.

[manusse]

Question.

When run the following command [ "C:\Program Files\batchupdateifo\batchupdateifo.exe" -oZ:\IST\VTS_01_0.IFO -aZ:\IST\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO -u ]
I get the following error: "No items Selected in Batch! - aborting"
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/8476/bui4uu.th.png (http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bui4uu.png)
Do you now what I must do to have it work. (When I launch the GUI of BUI, I must click the vts_01_0.ifo on the bottom left for it to work).
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Manusse

[Trahald]

hi manusse

i did some testing and i couldnt replicate the issue. One thing i did notice is that your path for the authored file doesnt seem right. normally scenarist will default to Z:\ist\0\video_ts\vts_01_0.ifo.. and with muxman would be Z:\ist\muxman\video_ts\vts_01_0.ifo .. is it possible your Z:\IST\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO path you have listed is invalid?

[manusse]

Hi Trahald,

Actually, the demux and remux are being made using SubtitleCreator. (remux made by muxman).
So I think the paths are correct. What about the error message. What does it mean?

Manusse

[Trahald]

means... no items were checked in the batch list when 'update' was pressed (as in the picture you posted). that shoul only happen in gui mode. the command line doesnt actually do batch.. just single ifo at a time.
