Video Segment Editor

[FlashBlade]

Hello everybody,
In the last dvd I backuped, there were some "production stills" in the extras.
The problem is that dvd rebuilder (Pro) encoded the stills (I use CCE) (for every still there was a cell) so I lost the ability to use the buttons to go from a stills to another or to the main menu.
I am wondering if we could have in the future the ability to keep some of the original cells instead of to have them encoded.
I know there is rb-keeper (which I haven't tried) but I'm not sure if it works with the latest releases.
Hopefuly I'm clear enough...
Thanks.

These kind of pictures are usually in menues, and are not encoded by RB, but when they are in a normal title, make sure that you do not delete "unknown" subpictures.

[FlashBlade]

Well, in my case that was not in the VIDEO_TS.
For the subpictures, I don't see the relation with my problem...

[jdobbs]

It should be working now. The stills and the subpictures are all kept. In the Pro Edition they aren't reencoded at all. What exactly happened?

[jdobbs]

One question. Your title was "Segment Editor" -- I don't get the connection?

[FlashBlade]

Here is the vts overview from ifoedit.
PGC1 is a short interview and PGC1 & PGC2 are the stills. As you can see there is 1 still per cell. Maybe it's a specific case, but DVD-RB encoded every cell (more than 80).
I actually put "Video Segment Editor" as title because with the ability to keep the original cells from the vob (in choosing in the Video Segment Editor) it would be much convenient...
Anyway I managed to put back the orignal cells using vobedit and ifoedit.

[jptheripper]

would this be the perfect time to ask that a "keep as originial" option be added to the segment editor?

[jdobbs]

Good idea.

[jptheripper]

WOOT!!!

[FlashBlade]

That's just what I was asking...
Thanks.
