join cells into one cell... possible????

[mchipk]

Hi,

Is it possible or is there a way to join two or more cells into one cell and not VOB?

[jeanl]

mchipk, what are you trying to do?
I don't know any prog that can do that (but I don't know much in terms of apps etc), but maybe you don't need to?

I'm using DVD Rebuilder V0.70 running QuEnc 0.59[BETA2](one pass) and Msharpen filter. I get a stutter/pause effect on the joint of each vob cell.

So, if I could join all cells together before processing with DVD Rebuilder, then maybe there wont be any stutter/pause.

well, the pause/studder might be caused by the cell flags in the DVD. Load it in PgcEdit, double click on the PGC that has problems and see if the cells are seamless playback or not?
Do you mean that the original does not have the pause/studder, but after processing it does? Maybe you should give us more detail on your processing flow, what do you do first, second etc...
Otherwise, I'm guessing demuxing and remuxing can probably do the trick but I'm not an expert on that (you have to preserve VOB/CELL numbers right?)...

They are probably all set with a Layer Break flag, instead of 8s or 10s, as appropriate.

In the PgcEdit editor, just untick layer break. Burn on an RW to test.

I'm not sure if it can helps..., anyway, to "join" cells I believe you have to remux. AFAIK, there is no other safe way:

- Demux (with pgcDemux, i.e)
- Mux again all the streams without a celltimes.txt. You will get a big uniq cell. Use Muxman, IFOEdit or Rejig. IMHO, Muxman is the more compliant, but it cannot mux more than three subs...
-Replace the PGC with VobBlanker. Note: Vobblanker will automatically add blank cells at thge end of the new PGC

The original is ferfect, seamless, no stutter/pause. Its only after the processing.

DVD Rebuilder and QuEnc are having an issue on this, and there is no fix to it yet.

I've tried demuxing and remuxing with VobEdit and IfoEdit. Not totally successful. It joins all cells into one cell within a VOB only, and not the whole movie as one VOB/cell. So I still get a stutter on the VOB joints.

I'll try with PgcEdit, PgcDemux and Muxman, and see what happen.

Thanks.
