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

[FallenAngel]

Well --aside from completely losing the "essence" and the "meaning" of the command you actually pressed on the remote

You are pressing the Remote Next/Prior chapter button -- Not the menu button
Currently --
When Next CH is pressed you goto the true Next chapter in the Compiliation. (Note -- not the Movie but the compiliation -- which is exactly what the button means -- hmmm)

(Last chapter >> prior title, last chapter hasn't been implemented yet)

This is correct according to the meaning of the button you are pressing

It is not correct in your proposal

So essentially what you want is variable targets on both the Remote Next/Last Buttons (Remote Buttons enabled)

forced means gprm 1 =12346,12345

Next targets:

1. Just exit the title setting gprm as normal
2. Next Title 1st Chapter (forced)(the actual meaning of the command)(current)

Last Targets

1. Prior title First ch (forced)
2. Prior title last ch (forced) (not implemented yet)
3. prior title VMGM menu setting the gprm 0 to title-2 (Play all comes into it)

So to simplify forced = gprm(1)=12345 (or greater depending on the target selection)

All right let me tinker

Its probably what you want -- It doesn't sing correctly but okay

It will also properly highlight the target movie on the VMGM main menu

It will auto jump to target during play all -- otherwise back to VMGM menu

[tetsuro_ja]

I tried TestBed7_6.

Although "Set gprm(0) +=(add) x" is used in Line 2 of pre-commands of each VTST, sprm8 overflows at TitleM PGC when gprm(1) < 12345.

When TitleMenu button is pressed while playing, sprm8 overflows at TitleM PGC.

When RootMenu button is pressed while playing TitleNumber N, TitleNumber N+1 is highlighted at TitleMenu. I think it is strange (it is not trouble).

Thanks for TestBed7_6.
It is what I want almost (except for below).

I want
___replay Title n => TitleMenu button =>MovieMenu
Now
___replay Title n => TitleMenu button =>replay Title 1(1st chapter))

How about modify like below.
It returns to MovieMenu when pressed TitleMenu button in AllPlay.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VMGM , LU 1 (en) , 1 (0:01) 7b. TitleM - Chapters: n/a, Programs: 1, Cells: 1
********** pre commands:
1 Set gprm(7) =(mov) 0
2 if ( gprm(0) == 123 ) then { Set gprm(1) =(mov) 0 } =>add
3 if ( gprm(0) == 0 ) then { Set gprm(1) =(mov) 0 }
4 Set gprm(2) =(mov) 12345
5 if ( gprm(1) >= gprm(2) ) then { (JumpSS) Jump to VMGM PGC 4 }
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It avoids to jump to VMGM PGC 4 when pressed TitleMenu button in AllPlay.

And it changes another.
Before modify
___(replay Title 1(1st ch) => Prev button =>replay Title 1(1st chapter))
After modify
___(replay Title 1(1st ch) => Prev button =>MovieMenu
I like both.

Regards.

My solution except trouble on TitleMenu button pressed

VTSM (dummy) RootM
********** pre commands:
1 Set gprm(0) =(mov) TitleNumber -1 <= change
2 Set gprm(1) =(mov) 0
3 (JumpSS) Jump to VMGM Title menu

VTST Title
********** pre commands:
1 if ( gprm(0) != 123 ) then { Goto line 6 }
2 if ( gprm(1) >= 12345 ) then { Goto line 4 } <= add
3 (CallSS) Call the VTSM Root menu of the current VTS, resume cell 1 <= add
4 Set gprm(0) +=(add) TitleNumber -1
5 (CallSS) Call the VMGM Title menu, resume cell 1
6 Set gprm(0) =(mov) 123
********** post commands:
1 Set gprm(0) =(mov) TitleNumber
2 (CallSS) Call the VMGM Title menu, resume cell 1

yes -- I was aware of sprm(8) -- one thing at a time

You are both going in radically different directions

Let me make a few statements

1. When Remote Prior ch (first ch)-- control will be sent to prior title (last chapter --not yet implemented)(either highlighted(menu) or actual)
   
2. When Remote Next ch(last chapter) >> control will be sent to next title (either highlighted(menu) or actual)

these statements encompass chapter navigation -- they are both sensible and expected behavior to the average user WYSIWYG

Jinjin_jp there is no staying in the current title -- not an option (and silly)

What you are asking for is a completely different option -- Repeat Play --Somewhat sings as the Remote Return button

and I have no idea how to implement that without creating a dummy pgc in the title to turn it on

Tetsuro_ja

When RootMenu button is pressed while playing TitleNumber N, TitleNumber N+1 is highlighted at TitleMenu. I think it is strange (it is not trouble).

Hmm -- yes the highlight probably should stay on the title called from -- let me think about it. your solution would probably work -- but seems statement heavy. It seems like it can probably be set up simpler via the 123 bit

Please note the software you are using for playback -- I'm mainly down to 2WMP(doesn't highlight the buttons but shows current location) ,and KMPlayer (KMPlayer seems best -- but sparse on current location info)

your solution would probably work -- but seems statement heavy.

I think that there must be solution better than my solution.

Please note the software you are using for playback.

I mainly use PgcEdit trace mode to confirm DVD compilations.
Then, I use ShowTime, WinDVD5 and MPC.

Windows Media Player uses DirectShow filters having the highest merit values selectively. Therefore, WMP depends on other installed software. The filters currently used in WMP can be displayed by GraphEdit.

Just created 67 movies both ways -- Nary a problem

FA, I figured out why it crashes. it crashed because if you use TW remove menus.
TW does not remove the dummy Vts ttns, that it created. If i delete them then all is good
the dummys are created bt TW
Edit:
This only happens if you have unchecked the make chapter/audio menu and you have enable remote buttons.
and when you do remove menu the dummy are still there.

VMG , First-Play PGC

Dirio_49 Noted -- but in the latest testbeds I'm not creating dummys anymore

Also remove menus isn't (Currently) as good as UNDO --You should always use Undo (If You can)

My WPC is funky -- skips backwards 2 titles On TW compiliations.
I think its a trick they are playing (much like the Remote button macro) and then of course Tw's macro is executing
Can't find a setting to turn the Bloody tricks off.

Showtime is hopeless -- Crashes, loops (And I could swear it sometimes plays Backwards for a few frames)

KMPlayer would become my main if it would simply tell me whats playing on the GUI instead of Say The KMP initials

[dirio49]

this is a compolation with only 3 movie.
if i start to play form movie 3 and press Prev Chapter, TW takes me back to the menu( no problem there) but the highlight is wrong as you can see in the trace and in the message box.

Dialog type: warning

Fixed Sprm(8) I hope (at least trace shows none)
Fixed Root menu Call -- highlight

It actually looks right here

[r0lZ]

Windows Media Player uses DirectShow filters having the highest merit values selectively. Therefore, WMP depends on other installed software. The filters currently used in WMP can be displayed by GraphEdit.

... using "Connect to Remote Graph".

I have verified which DirectShow filter is used for the DVD navigation by MPC on my system, and it is simply called "DVD Navigator".
The file is C:\WINDOWS\system32\Qdvd.dll (version 6.5.2600.2180, copyrighted by M$, and probably installed with Windows media Player 9. I haven't installed WMP 10 yet.)
Unfortunately, it is not possible to display the filters used by WMP with GraphEdit, so I cannot confirm that it uses the same filter.

i Still get the same thing.
the hightlight it is always at button 1. in stead of it begin the movie that is supposed to be next( or how it is when you do have menus)
this only happens when you don't have chapter/audio menu

Talking about Title menu

 -- pre 7 : (SetHL_BTN) Set Highlighted Button =(mov) gprm(0)
    -> sprm(8:Highlighted button number) = 62464 (0xF400)
