View Full Version : Suggestion: Split the IFO/VOB Editors thread into more threads

Ok, this is my first post, so please bear with me and correct me, if I posted it in the wrong place etc. I've lurked around this great forum for a while as an anonymous user. However, now I'm ready to participate in the discussions and share my little experience etc.

The first many times I visited the forum and especially the IFO/VOB Editors thread, I didn't know much about the various programs, which one to use for a certain task etc. Despite the stickied posts in here, I found the structure of this thread very confusing.

It has been much easier to navigate in the thread in the DVD and miniDVD section, which is dedicated to the DVD-Rebuilder program, in order to obtain all the info I needed about that program (where to get the latest version, guides using the program, other users' experiences etc.).

May I humbly suggest that the IFO/VOB Editors thread is split into more separate threads under the DVD and miniDVD section? So that at least those great and popular programs developed by Doom9 users, like PgcEdit and VobBlanker, can have their own threads, where the associated info can be posted?

Also, as IfoEdit for quite some time has been THE program for DVD editing for many users, and as many posts in this section concern the IfoEdit program (Q&A, guides and questions by users etc.), it could make life easier if there was a thread for IfoEdit related stuff only...

I personally don't find it difficult to locate the stuff I'm looking for just by seeking IFO/VOB Editors.

I second that. There's not a whole lot of traffic in this forum, so I'm not sure there's a real need to spit it.
Plus that way, you get to read about topics you wouldn't necessarily be exposed to otherwise :).

I think the problem is that besides those few sticky posts in this thread, it's not alsways easy to find a post that was posted some time ago and haven't been replied to in a while. Then you'll have to cycle through the sub pages to find that post. Alternatively you'd have to know what to search for.

And new users like myself often don't even know that there has been a post like that earlier. So if you can't find what you're looking for in a search (perhaps because you - being a new user - use the wrong terminology in the search terms), you'd often either give it up or post a new thread regarding the topic.

It could make it so much easier if there was a thread for IfoEdit, a thread for PgcEdit and so on. Then new users like me would know exactly where to go look for the latest relase of PgcEdit, guides on how to use that beautiful proggy, Q&A, other users' discussions etc.
