MenuShrink ver 1.0 - utility for shrinking DVD motion menus to still frames

[Whitespliff]

Yep

[blutach]

I stand corrected, as usual.

Re chapter menus: My understanding was that David Lynch decreed world-wide, no chapters. Someone doctored the cells.

BTW: If you open your DVD with PgcEdit, you can select Preview/Preview full domain, which lets you look at the entire VTS as a whole (not cell-by-cell or PGC-by-PGC).
It's the fastest way I know to check whether there's something useful in a VTS (I always do that before blanking the entire domain).

@blutach: This dvd is from our local newspaper, they give away 'special' versions with their logo on it so it's possible they re-authored (remade) it & added a chaptermenu.

@jeanl: Tnx but I've been a beta tester for DvdRemake so I know the program very good so I usually Remake the entire dvd starting from scratch.
Call it a hobby

Never used PGCedit, I'll give it a try.

Whitespliff, if you're really in Belgium, it's your nationalistic duty to check out PgcEdit!

Hehe, I just saw it on their website, I'm on it right now

[blutach]

Where's dimad from?

Regards

[Whitespliff]

Don't really know but I think his native language is English so that leaves only a 'few' countries

[blutach]

Getting back to M Drive, was any of the material unreferenced?

Regards

[Whitespliff]

Nope, it was all video.

[jeanl]

Whitespliff it can be video and be unreferenced... blutach, what's the easiest way to find out if something is unreferenced (other than process with vobblanker and see what has disappeared!).

Do a ctrl-H in PgcEdit

Regards

[jeanl]

Wait, that's just a cross-reference check. YOu could have video cells in the VOB files that are not referenced in any PGC.
Ctrl-H wouldn't catch that, right?
Jeanl

[blutach]

No, but it's close enough, at least in the first instance. Put it this way, if it's pink after a ctrl-H, then it's definitely unreffed.

You may also have replaced a cell with a blank and assigned a new VCID. The old VCID would be unreffed too, even though it is in a multi-celled, referenced PGC.

DVD Shrink is actually quite good at catching unreffed mat, too and of course, IfoEdit will tell you what VCIDs are not used.

Yep, that's how I saw it.
