Changing playing order. How ?

[rui.m.godinho]

I`ve been battling with this movie. It has this order:

logo > trailer1 > trailer 2 > trailer 3 > trailer 4 > main menu

my desired order is this:

logo > main menu

I could remove those trailers but I wont them to be playable when selected at main menu/extras.

I tried to use Jump2Pgc using this guide:

http://home.tiscali.be/debie.roland/pgcedit/third_party/2cool/jump2pgc/Jump2Pgc%20Guide.htm

But no matter what I do, or it takes me direct to main menu or it plays the logo, 1st trailer and than main menu.

1 - Where do I "Toggle PGC playback breakpoint", on "VMG , First-Play PGC", on the logo pgc "VTSM 3, LU 1 (en), 1 RootM" or "VTSM5, LU 1(en), 1 RootM" where it's 1st trailer

2 - I don`t know exactly if I should "Close & Break Trace" when I'm previewing the logo or the 1st trailer.

3 - Knowing that I want to play logo and main menu, after I "Close & Break Trace", I have to press "Clipboard" at PgcEdit and click at "Copy Changed Registers as commands". At Jump2PGC, knowing that the Unused GPRM are "1,7,9,10,11,12,13" I choose for example "1" and at 3rd Step (in Jump2Pgc) what should I choose ?

I want to thank in advance for any help.

This is a case where you probably have to do it manually. It's not that hard.

First, find a spare GPRM (let's use 1). Then trace things through. When you return from VTSM 3 (it will be to somewhere in VMGM), continue to trace things through and find where you jump to either VTSM 5 or to title 6 (trace thing using "step" or else they will fly past). In this PGC, immediately before the jump, add a precommand that says if GPRM(1) = 0 link to PGCN 1.
[20 A4 00 01 00 00 00 01] 1 if ( gprm(1) == 0 ) then { LinkPGCN PGC 1 } As the first precommand of VMGM 1 (title menu), set GPRM(1) = 1.

[20 A4 00 01 00 00 00 01][71 00 00 01 00 01 00 00] 1 Set gprm(1) =(mov) 1 Should work. If you get into trouble, post the original IFOs here (as a zip file) and we'll fix 'em up in a jiffy.

Remember also, that at any time, you can press Title Menu on your remote to bypass this stuff and get you there anyway :)

I've tested the pre command and it works, 1st the logo and it goes to the main menu. I inserted it at "VMGM ,LU 1(en), 3":

Before

After
http://img8.exs.cx/img8/2502/image22sz.jpg

But now when I try to choose the 1st trailer (title 6) at Trailers Menu it goes to "VMGM ,LU 1(en), 3" that tell it to go title menu and it doesn't play it.


Grateful for any help.

Looks like you need to insert the "if" precommand before you get to VMGM 3.

If you wish to email me with the IFOs, I would be pleased to help.

We really shouldn't be posting ifo files from commercial DVDs here in public. see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50765

What more can I say, so simple but so useful.

Thank you.

Glad to have helped, rui.m - always a pleasure.

For everyone else, this is what was done:

1. Original was FP PGC - VTSM 3, 1 (simply plays logo) - VMGM, 8 - Title 6 ... Main menu (which is VMGM , 1)

2. Fix was to make post commands in VTSM 3, 1 to go to VMGM, 1 instead of VMGM 8. This preserves the ability of Title 6 being played (if kill playback then this was not possible, of course).

3. Could not use Jump2PGC.exe as it only provides for going to titles and VTSMs, although I'm sure Jeanl's guide, used manualy, would have worked fine.
