TitleWriter 4.72 - *** Update 31 July 2008, ***

[FallenAngel]

R0lZ,Tetsuro_ja
Just implemented the no dummy in TW --set Next and previous links to 1
And added a dummy root ttn to return to menu

1 Set gprm(1) =(mov) 12346
2 if ( gprm(0) != 123 ) then { Goto line 5 }
3 Set gprm(0) =(mov) TitleNumber to goto -1
4 (CallSS) Call the VMGM Title menu, resume cell 1
5 Set gprm(0) =(mov) 123
********** post commands:
1 Set gprm(0) =(mov) Titlenumber
2 Set gprm(4) =(mov) 0
3 Set gprm(7) =(mov) 0
4 (CallSS) Call the VMGM Title menu, resume cell 1

didn't even have to use an extra gprm since 0 is reset in all cases

Showtime is just plain weird -- crashs (never at the same points)
Kmplayer -- seems to execute properly
WMP -- weirdly enough skips back 2 titles (and I checked my code/DVD Commands thouroughly when I saw that happen -- it not in the pgc's) and now won't go to the next title on Next button pressed (during last chapter)
Pgcedit traced -- normal
And amazingly Windows Media Player played it perfectly

Dilemma -- Do I run with this? -- It is childishly simple -- everythings in the pre post commands

My main hardware also plays it correctly

Castros
-- Its not just the commands that are bad.
I may do this far in the future but its way way down my priority list -- That mess should really be fixed by winavi (Especially since its paid software)
and IMO it should never have been released.

[r0lZ]

Software players are often not compliant. IMO, you can ignore them. (BTW, I use the IfoEdit's preview to check. It is really good, although there are some little bugs.)
Anyway, it is probably safest to add an option to turn off the new method.

This method seems to be very good for me.
It may be unavoidable that this method does not work with some software players. Especially, ShowTime seems to be unable to implement Next PGCN link.
If only this method works perflectly with hardware players, I think it is good.

Yes -- I think I'll run with it -- KISSY KISSY
And IfoEdit / Windows Media Player are happy for testing

At least Vobblanker is happy now

Unfortunately -- A bad thing happened in 1 module -- 11500 lines of code -- all spaces got replaced with commas.
MS C++6.0 glitch And it wouldn't let me UNDO
And my last backup was 15 days ago (Me Very Very Bad)
Got 99.?% of it fixed -- Unending testing -- still finding the little buggers tucked here and there -- at least it runs again

This seems to work fine with Windows Media Player and IfoEdits Player (with the Remote option enabled (Default --Enabled)

And VobBlanker is Happy

Note: the remote button option is only allowed on movies without menus

At the moment -- the back chapter (title 1 chapter 1) is wired to itself -- got a feeling it would be better to goto Movies menu
Or I can kick it to last title
Opinions?

If you see any commas where they shouldn't be pls note location and string --respond (See my last post) -- I believe I've got all the critical ones

Jinjin_jp -- this will solve the incompatability between TW and PgcEdit (Pgc Edits Remote macro isn't designed to work with TW's menu structure)

Tetsuro_ja
Hit a small snag -- Couldn't recompress Japanese folder (could Decompress) -- (Zip kicked an Illegal characters in filename error) -- so I just pasted as is
(it will need to be unzipped seperately)

[jinjin_jp]

Thanks for Uploaded 7_4. I tried it.

Next/Previous buttons seems to work well.

But
1)It is always AllPlay, it can't replay one selested movie.

2)When pressed TitleMenu button, all end(dissappear).
__(When pressed (Root)Menu button, it returns to MovieMenu.)

Above is confirmed by PowerDVD.

MediaPlayerClassic seems to have some problems.
1)When pressed Prev.button, it returns to the title which is previous 2. (for example 4 to 2)
2)When directly select the title, it replays the previous title. (fore example 3 when select 4) Although prohibited by PUOs.
3)When pressed Prev.button, it jumps to first of current title. It's not always happen. It seems to be related with the number of chapter, no problem when it has 4 chapter, but problem when 2 chapters.
These seem to be releted with the bug of MPC which r0lZ posted in #370.

Jinjin_jp -- this will solve the incompatability between TW and PgcEdit (Pgc Edits Remote macro isn't designed to work with TW's menu structure)

Thanks for considering for my post.
As I posted in #334, PgcEdit's "Enable Navigation buttons" can work with TW's menu structure and do the same thing which I've been doing by "DVDS* Remote Buttons" (it just sets both Prev/Next PGCN link =1)", if not required more.
It has no problem about Prev/Next buttons in MediaPlayerClassic like above.

Current Uploaded 7_4 is improved to be possible to return to previous(not current)title by Prev.buttun and VobBlanker's message. Thanks.

Regards.

Thanks for TestBed7_4.

Although I tried it, what I say has nothing since jinjin_jp has already said.
I can reproduce the MPC issue which jinjin_jp said.

Hit a small snag -- Couldn't recompress Japanese folder (could Decompress) -- (Zip kicked an Illegal characters in filename error) -- so I just pasted as is
(it will need to be unzipped seperately)

OK.
When Japanese characters are used as filename, trouble often happens.
It may be better to use English strings (before translation) as filename like the old TestBed.

Regards

[jinjin_jp]

I can't resolve, but found some reason which is seems to be.

1)It is always AllPlay, it can't replay one selested movie.

----------------------------------------------------------
VTST # , 1 TTN 1
********** pre commands:
1 Set gprm(1) =(mov) 12346
----------------------------------------------------------
It seems to make mis-recognize as AllPlay anytime.
If delete this command, it seems to work well.

2)When pressed TitleMenu button, all end(dissappear).

----------------------------------------------------------
VTST # , 1 TTN 1
********** pre commands:
5 Set gprm(0) =(mov) 123
----------------------------------------------------------
This value of gprm(0) causes that there is no titles should be jumped in VMGM.
----------------------------------------------------------
VMGM , LU 1 (en) , 4 (dummy) - Chapters: n/a, Programs: 0, Cells: 0
********** pre commands:
1 if ( gprm(1) >= 12345 ) then { Goto line 3 }
2 (JumpSS) Jump to VMGM PGC 1
3 if ( gprm(1) == 12346 ) then { Set gprm(1) =(mov) 0 }
4 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 0
5 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 1 }
6 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 1
7 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 2 }
8 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 2
9 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 3 }
10 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 3
11 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 4 }
12 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 4
13 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 5 }
14 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 5
15 if ( gprm(2) == gprm(0) ) then { (JumpTT) Jump to Title 6 }
********** post commands:
1 Exit
----------------------------------------------------------
If add to first of TitleMenu "1 if ( gprm(0) == 123 ) then { Set gprm(0) =(mov) 1 } ", it seems to work well.

JinJin_jp --Nothing is "Confirmed" by PowerDvd -- its junk always has been.

MPC also has bugs I don't think it even recognizes PUOs.
(at a guess when in chapter 1 and Prior chapter is pressed -- They have done a return to prior title, last chapter --irrespective of the pgc commands and current position -- then TW's commands are executed skipping play back yet another title

In other words they added a gimmick --But its not DVD command navigation

Windows Media player works fine and IfoEdits dvd play -- And PgcEdits trace.

This is hardware oriented -- The cheaper players don't seem to mimic hardware very well

Current Uploaded 7_4 is improved to be possible to return to previous(not current)title by Prev.buttun and VobBlanker's message. Thanks

Which is exactly what should be happening --

when the button Prior Chapter is pressed -- it returns to start of prior title
(I'll probably try changing this to prior title last "viable" chapter -- thats going to be tricky)
when next Chapter button is pressed -- Start of next title as normal

And vobblanker isn't bitching

During Play all you can't go backwards

There is no continously looping of a single title option.

[jinjin_jp]

JinJin_jp --Nothing is "Confirmed" by PowerDvd

I confirmed about below by PowerDVD.

1)It is always AllPlay, it can't replay one selested movie.
2)When pressed TitleMenu button, all end(dissappear).

There is a difference 12345 triggers Playall Including "menued" titles in sequence (No backwards seek) (ignores menus)
12346 -- Includes backwards seek, Will stop sequential play when title with a menu is encountered and includes prior title support

(this is important when dealing with multi ttn titles or original menus)

When you delete the 12346 you disable prior title seek entirely --

This value of gprm(0) causes that there is no titles should be jumped in VMGM.

Oops absolutely right --I either have to use another gprm or use your "fix"

[FallenAngel]

Uploaded 7_4_2

Jinjin_jp -- Now optional Target -- Remote Prior Chapter button
return to start of title
goto to prior movie (default)

Used your fix on VMGM -- g0 123 --
I want to keep the number of gprms used to the minimum (original menu's)

Bye -- Food, Beer, fireworks time

[dirio49]

For me TW 7_4_2 keeps on crashing on the dvd that i have 67 some thing titles.
it creates the menus and then when it tries to save it, it crashes.
this is a compulation that has no chapter/audio menu
with/without the naviagation buttons enabled.

it also crashes when i have 3 titles, and i disable the naviagation buttons enabled, but not when it is enabled ( ofcouse the compulation has not chapter/audio menus)


So to be clear all the menus are finished. and and the status bard it says opening Vts_01_0.ifo and it just crashed there.

and what jinjin_jp, saying i saw it too. i tried it with one movie compolation and button number one is just a nop and very tiny. and you can only click play all and not select the movie button itself

[jinjin_jp]

Thanks for Uploaded 7_4_2. I tried it by PowerDVD.

Next/Previous buttons seems to work well.
(Jumping prev or current title by Prev.button works well.)

But
1)It is always AllPlay, it can't replay one selested movie.
2)When pressed TitleMenu button, it jumps to first of title 1 not to MovieMenu.

It was fixd by deleteng PreCommand "1 Set gprm(1) =(mov) 12346" of each VTST. But this method seems to have another proplem from your explanation.

By the way about setting,
"On Moviies witout Menus ... To Next and Prior Movies" had better to be wrote "... Currrent ..." accordinfg to its function ?
"To Prior Movie" seems to be done by Next setting ?

When you delete the 12346 you disable prior title seek entirely --

I've tried multi ttn, but I couldn't because error happened.

About not multi ttn and without VTSM (I didn't confirm other casas),
I can't understand that gprm(1)=12346 is need.
I suppose AllPlay is recognized by gprm(1)=12345, and Prev.button is recognized by gprm(0)=123. 123 is used in precommand of TTN and used for decision which title to jump, if 123 jump to previous (or current) if 123, jump to next ifo not 123.
Isn't it wrong?
