PgcEdit ver 8.0 (a DVD IFO editor) *** UPDATE *** 23 January

[jm1647]

r0lz - many for the update. Thanks again

[r0lZ]

Mill, I'm not sure PgcEdit is responsible for this fix. Maybe the FixVTS version distributed with PgcEdit is better. Thanks anyway for the feedback.

Thanks also for your donation, AlienX69, for the bunch of icons, jm1647, and for your lie, blutach!

Thanks for the update r0lZ it is a great tool

@r0lZ - what lie? Moi?

[r0lZ]

I would be lost without PgcEdit !!!!

Me too.

That's what I call a lie! You know very well the DVD structure, and I'm sure you are able to do what you want with any soft, including an hexadecimal editor!

Does PSL Plugin v2.14 (swedish) still work with PgcEdit 7.0 ?
A question for Cynthia i guess
(tack på förhand )

[blutach]

@r0lZ - merci for nice words

@bletch - yes, it will. It is just a translation of the texts and the workings are the same as v2.14

Has anybody experienced a new error with PgcEdit 7.0? I started using this new release when I started backing up my Sliders Season 3 set. In PgcEdit I always trace from DVD Insert through the end of the movie to kill unwanted video processes.

Always I get the following error when killing the DTS Deluxe splash and the CP Macrovision splash screens:

Error appending new tiny cell to VOB File:
The number of sectors in the VOB file(s) (10298) don't match the VTS_C_ADT table (9798 sectors)!
Cannot blank the cells of this PGC!

Now the play process is killed, just not blanked. Why is this error occuring since it didn't occur in the previous release? Attached are the IFO files and the comment file from one of the discs. If anyone can shed some light on the ramifications of the error, how to remedy it or supress it, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Regards,
Cam

This is not a PgcEdit error but an intentional error by Craprovi$ion!!!

They have cut off the VOB and a pointer does not match.

However, rest assured that PgcEdit has fixed the problem (you can see a tiny blank there now). Simply save the DVD and proceed. This error message has been rectified, IIRC, in the latest beta.

Thanks Blu!

I've saved my changes and traced back through and it looked good, and the burn is functional too. One would have thought Crapovi$ion would have been removed. Btw, What does IIRC stand for (noob mode off).

I'll give beta 4 a try. Again thanks!

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly.

I emailed r0lZ on this problem a week or so ago. It is just a deliberate bit of interference by MV. It is not the APS bit. Nothing to worry about.

PgcEdit v7.1 released!

PgcEdit v 7.1

• A. Burn DVD: New "Seamless Layer Break" option in the Layer Break selection dialogue, allowing to set the seamless flag of the LB cell. Theoreticaly, the Seamless flag must be clear, but it appear that it is possible to set it in most circumstances. However, this method can be incompatible with some old players, but is used on some commercial DVDs (among others, Sony Superbit DVDs.) A pink warning is displayed in the risky cases. Technical info: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...669#post819669
• A. Burn DVD: New option (under Linux and MacOSX only) in the layer break dialogue to modify the IFO files only, without creating the ISO image. This option can be used to burn the DVD files directly with growisofs.
• A. New function to recompute the VTS_TMAPTI table (Time Map) of the current Title PGC, or all time maps of the current title domain or of the DVD. This function is called automatically when a time map needs to be modified but can also be called on demand via the "DVD" and "Title" menus to fix bad time maps, or to build the time maps of non-sequential titles.
• E. Kill Playback: The first cell command that is normally executed is now included in the pre-commands to minimize the risk of navigation errors (but only if this command is useful and legal in the pre-commands.)
• E. PGC Editor's cell list: When a cell command is defined and the seamless joint flag of the next cell is set, the "Layer Break?" checkbox is now highlighted in pink, to warn the user that the cell command is executed only when this seamless flag is clear (ie, layer break checkbox ticked.)
• E. When a titleset is present on disc but not referenced at all in the IFOs, it is now possible to move it automatically to a special backup folder. Previously, the user has to do it manually.
• E. Improved the VOB desynchronized error check to identify the tiny black cell added by PgcEdit at the end of the VOB files but not referenced in the IFOs. (This situation can happen when the IFOs are not saved by the user after the creation of a new cell.) It is now possible to reuse this cell with the PGC Editor functions "Create new cell" and "Reassign VOB/ Cell ID" with the option to create a new blank VOB cell. Previously, a VOB Desynchronized error message was issued.
• E. Burn DVD: The Shutdown Computer option is not remembered any more from session to session. That was too dangreous.
• F. After an Import VTST Title, Import FP Clip or Import Title intro/closing clip, the number of BOVs were not initialized correctly, which caused some other functions (notably Clone PGC) to crash.
• F. Clone PGC function did not update the TTN internal variables correctly.
• F. Trace: A warning is now issued if a cell command exists, but the cell that follow the current cell has its Seamless flag set. The cell command cannot be executed in this case.
• F. Blank Out all Title PGCs: The cells table was wrong when this function was applied to a Title domain without VOB files present on HDD.
• F. Replace VTST Titles: The streams attributes of the current menu domain were copied from the imported IFO. Now, the table is left untouched.
• F. Remove cell in PGC Editor: When removing the last Program, the PG number was kept in the table, and forced to 0. Now, it is correctly removed.
• F. Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS: Some menu buttons or BOV commands were wrongly included in the output.
• F. Fixed a bug occurring in very rare circumstances: The number of BOVs of the PGC was sometimes wrong after a delete cell from the PGC Editor.
• F. Tools configuration didn't work if FixVTS was not used before calling it.
• F. When a titleset was removed or imported, the parental management table VMG_PTL_MAIT was not updated.
• F. Some minor GUI bugs fixed.
• F. The Download Daemon Tools link was dead. Changed to current one.
• W. Workaround for a little discrepancy in the faster mkisofs.exe program provided with PgcEdit. This exe doesn't set the error level like the original one, and therefore PgcEdit was unable to discover if it has failed.

DVDShrink plugin v 2.0

• A. New function to redo completely from scratch the authoring of a DVD created by DVDShring in reauthor mode.

LU (Language Unit) plugin v 1.1

• A. New function to clone the current LU, with a new language code. Useful to translate a still menu to another language.

Enjoy!
