DVD Reauthor

DVD Reauthor 1.0
(Creation of script for Sonic Scenarist)
www.dvd-logic.com (http://www.dvd-logic.com)

Many times DVD authors have a problem with the editing of existing DVDs, when the last edition was not recent. In this situation reauthoring is very difficalt and hard. You must use hundreds of utilities and tools for Video, Audio and other data extraction. Then you must import hundreds of data files into Scenarist, set relations, and compile.

Now there is one solution for these problems. All you need to do is set the input and output paths, and then you will have all needed data with a scenario file, which you may specify for Scenarist.

Using DVDReauthor is easy, but you will get powerful results and save much time and effort.

Program features of DVDReauthor:
Automatic processing of the DVD.
Menu and Titles processing.
Multiangle processing.
Video, Audio, Subpicture stream processing.
Commands parsing.
Creation of script for Sonic Scenarist.

It might be jut me, but I feel like I'm having a deja vu. Those decrypting screenshots look just like if I'm watching dvd decryptor.

[DVD Logic]

There are many equvalent GUIs in programs! You must have deja vu every time watching any Windows program ...
DVD Reauthor not have any common features with Decrypter!
Just download DVD Reauthor and see what it can do and you lake it!
:)

I will only test it and objectively review it if you can provide me with a fully functional, uncripled version.

Since there's no commercial advertising allowed on this forum I assume the downloadable version is as described above?

Hmm.. upon installing, it instantly tells me the trial period is over, that level 3 commands will not be parsed and only one vob file will be processed. "Yeah OK, whatever!" I thought as I clicked OK, whereupon the program just closed.

Definitely a quality product for the outrageous price of $100. NOT!

[influenza]

Well I got it installed and demuxing at least something. But scenarist won't compile the script. It gives so many errors I really didn't even bother sorting them all out.

This primary test doesn't really tempt me to spend 100$ on it...

[DVD Logic]

Demo version make only VIDEO_TS.VOB, VTS_01_0.VOB and VTS_01_1.VOB files. For rest files there are no Tracks and it is only empty scenes in Scenario Editor. You must delete all empty items in Scenario Editor!
:cool:

[influenza]

Well that's easier said than done, since the average menu makes up a pretty complex layout, so you would easily delete something you don't want.

But for me this subject is closed anyway unless I will be able to test a complete, non crippled product.

[Eyes`Only]

This will fade to nothing just like the others before who let greed overrun their common sense, created a crippled product and then didn't do the research to see what the rate for the product should be. It's fun to watch though :P

[DVD Logic]

Just create test project with one menu file and titles file and test demo version. Compare results with other programs. It works better than any kind of such tool. It is no need any additional software.

[influenza]

Since all other tools I know that can do this kind of thing (doitfast4u, scenaid, reauthorist, numenu4u, dvddecryptor)) are not crippled or restricted in any other way, any comparison would be in favor of those tools.

That's because there is no other such tool.... why would anyone want a tool that purely demuxes and creates a script... that's fairly pointless IMO

I'm not sure why anyone would want to spend $5.00 let alone $100 when they still will have nothing more then demuxed assets and a script.....

If you'd like this to go anywhere I'd remove teh VTS1 only limitation...

No one will want to purchase a product sight-unsean and NO one will want to demo a product that they are going to have more time fixing a script then they would using something else

Wow! The author should be honored to have so many of the Doom Team appear and throw a jab or two. Long live the Octagon ** :confused:

** UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship)

At this point in the DVD life cycle, there seems too many tools to do what is desired by 98% of the general rippers and authors. I glazed over about a year ago once the universe of tools coalesced into my current DVD toolkit.

Now leave the poor boy alone, maybe this is a school project. :devil:

*********************************
EDIT - To the author - My message to you is that there are already too many niche solutions already available that address nearly all but the most esoteric needs of the typical Doom member.

If you are doing this for fun, that's great; if you are expending time and energy toward potential financial gain, it seems clear to me you need to find some other niche that needs filling and where the demand for a tool is sufficient to warrant some kind of financial renumeration.

And to the mods - I certainly did not mean my post to be a dig towards you. I truely appreciate and value the time, energy, knowledge , and passion that you freely share with everyone here.

@windtrader: The only reason we got involved at all is because he posted this in a forum dedicated to cheap/free software, and I had to move it to a better spot. I guess I could've struck him for not getting to know the forum before posting, but that seemed too harsh. Then after glancing at the price, I just couldn't resist replying. I mean, you can hardly blame me :P

Kudos on the school project quip, btw. hehehe. Maybe it's an economics project of seeing just how much money ppl will spend on crippleware? Anyway, the lack of other replies shows how well this went over in the community.

I spend some time for testing DVD Reauthor and other tools.
And I find such results:

It is why DVD Reauthor is better any of the Script generation program.

1.All need tools in one.
2.Processing Menu and Titles.
3.Processing more accuracy and quickly than any of the rivals.
4.Working with sources from CD-ROM and HDD as well.
5.Parsing all pre, post and cell commands of any level of difficulty.
6.Doing all highlightings (buttons) in Menu and Titles.
7.Processing angles.
8.Convert PCM in to WAV.

It is only one problem: $100, but is it problem for DVD professional ?
Please, tell me now, what is school project ?

I see you have not read any of the forums and just want to advertize. Why don't you do some research on DVD Shrink and DVD Rebuilder. They are 2 of the finest tools out there and they are FREE. Do some comparison testing on those programs and supply some valid results. Why would I buy a half baked peice of software thats so crippled that you can't even do a decent evaluation on it.

[DVD Logic]

DVD Reauthor and DVD Shrink and DVD Rebuilder is another kind of DVD Software. DVD Reauthor is intended for decompiling DVD to script and data files (original project). Then you can import these data files and script in Scenarist and editing original project... For example, you can replace audio track or subpictures, or change menu... In this aspect it is best program.
In case of Demo version you can create self project to see difference between DVD Reauthor and another programs. But in any case DVD Reauthor is intended for using with Sonic Scenarist and for editing old project ONLY.

You lazy bunch of (*insert rude words here*) !

Could you have copied my interface any more closely?! Shame you suck at it and it's no way near as polished.

I don't even have to look at what the product can / can't do. To see it looking like my program is enough to tell me you're not worth me wasting my time on.

With any luck, you'll be off these forums within a few days.

[DVD Logic]

Wow! What is new and originaly in you program interface ? What elements is not standard ? What elements is not from WindowsXP ?
There are many programs with menu and log window!
There are many programs with such GUI!

Our program have not any similar internal functionality!

Same here.

[DVD Logic]

We are sorry if DVD Reauthor's interface looks like DVD Decrypter interface to his author.
We have used only standard components and icons of Windows!

We are going to change user interface in future to be different from DVD Decrypter.

ROFL - I just can't help myself.

Dude - YOU DO NOT GET IT! Go do something else. If in fact you did code this up, you have skills. Apply them on somewhere a problem needs a solution.

You make me look pathetic as this is how I get my daily chuckle. :confused:

[LIGHTNING UK!]

It's the layout of it that's identical.

If you honestly cant see that, you must be blind!

You've named the boxes 'Source' and 'Destination', put them in the same order, same position.

You'd got my little hdd icon to the left of the actual path text and the folder button to the right.

You've even used the non-standard 'hand' icon for when you hover over those buttons - which aren't actually buttons!

The Capacity and Free Space stuff is again identical.

The 'start' button is the same with the DVD on the left and the green arrow in the middle.

You've used the same progress (current - total) layout for when you're actually doing the processing.

You're using the same 'Found VOB File:' text in the log.

There are way too many similarities for it to just be co-incidence.
