PgcEdit 8.4: éditeur de commandes de DVD - GPL (UPDATE 26 June)

[r0lZ]

PgcEdit 0.5.5

PgcEdit 0.5.5 released

Grâce à jeanl, PgcEdit est maintenant capable d'utiliser PgcEditPreview.exe sous Linux, via wine.

Aussi, il est possible que le preview tourne sous Mac OSX, via darwine. Cependant, ça n'a pas encore été testé. J'aimerais savoir si ça tourne...

Bien sur, wine (ou "wine hq") et darwine sont gratuits.

• PREVIEW (and menu backgrounds) available for Linux, and probably also for Mac OSX. You must install wine (for Linux) or darwine (for Mac OSX) to be able to use it.
• Added the Preview -> Use Preview option, to allow Linux or Mac users to turn the preview off, in case of problems with wine or darwine. Although not verry useful, this option is available also under Windows.
• Fixed a bug in v0.5.4, which caused the display of 16:9 letterboxed menus in the menu viewer to fail.
• When saving menu buttons, if you answered NO at the "Backup VOB?" request, PgcEdit offered to backup the VOB again and again. Fixed.

PgcEdit 0.5.6

PgcEdit 0.5.6

A. = Nouveauté
F. = Bug corrigé

• A. New semi-automatic macro "Jump to PGC upon DVD insert". It's a modified version of jeanl's "Jumping straight to the movie (or the menu) with PgcEdit" and 2COOL's "Jump2Pgc" guides.
• A. Added "Swap or Copy Menu PGC" utility, to swap or copy the PGC parameters (cell table, color table, streams, VM commands, ...) from another PGC of the same menu domain with/to the current PGC. Useful to cleanup the menus.
• A. Added the command "Delete All Commands in PGC" in the PGC Selector popup menu.
• A. Added the utility "Delete All Commands in Domain", also available in the PGC Selector popup menu.
• A. Added the function "Delete All Commands in DVD", available only by right-clicking on an empty line in the PGC Selector.
• A. Added the utility "Blank out all Title PGCs in DVD", that calls the "Blank Out All PGCs in Domain" utility in sequence for all title domains.
• A. Added an option to change the default colors of the GUI, requested by a Linux user.
• A. Option "Skip Preview of short cells (< 1sec., without still time)?" in the preview configuration of the trace mode.
• A. PGC Editor: Added an edit popup menu on the audio and subpic streams title label to copy and paste all audio or subpic streams assignments.
• A. Added a button "All" in the search GUI, to display all occurences in a window. You may click on the buttons to jump to any occurence.
• A. Added some icons for Linux users (included in the Zip archive), thanks to M7S.
• F. PgcEdit_Preview 1.8 by jeanl. See history at the bottom of this file.
• F. Fixed a little bug in Kill Playback macro that caused the display of an erroneous warning when killing the playback of a menu PGC with some cell commands (LinkTailPGC...)

• F. Fixed a little problem when using an Alt-F# system key under windows: The tool associated with the F# key was launched instead.
• F. Fixed a bug in the error message routine when a DVD cannot be opened successfully.
• F. Fixed a rare bug in trace mode.

PgcEdit_Preview 1.8 par jeanl:

• Fixed a bug in original DVD2AVI code that caused the CELLID to be incorrectly read from the VOB file in some rare instances.
• Enabled the original code to avoid an extremely rare problem where DVD2AVI finds a SEQUENCE_HEADER_CODE in the first navpack.

Merci à jeanl, 2COOL, blutach et Tobi pour leur beta testing difficile macro 'Jump to PGC', et spécialement à jeanl et à 2COOL pour leurs guides.

Jetez un oeil à la homepage de PgcEdit. Il y a aussi un nouveag guide, et des updates.

PgcEdit 0.5.7

PgcEdit 0.5.7.

• A. PgcEditor: Added an Angle column ("A.") in the cell list. The angle value is computed from the Type Flags. "-" means all angles, "?" means error.
• A. Added a function to remove the current LU from the IFO. The VOB cells are left unreferenced. You may strip them with VobBlanker easily.
• A. Added a button "CellTimes.txt" in the Pgc Editor to generate the list of cell times needed to remux a clip with chapters. You may add an offset to the cell times if you want.
• A. Added an option to hide the [hex codes] in the main commands listbox.
• A. Added an option to go automatically to Trace mode whan a DVD is opened.
• A. Shift-clicking on a PGC in the PGC Selector now toggles the breakpoints on that PGC (without selecting it).
• A. Added a "Documentation" item in the help menu. It tries to open these files: "<PgcEdit install dir>/doc/PgcEdit_manual.chm" (under Windows only) then, if the file is not found, "<install dir>/doc/PgcEdit_manual.htm", then "<install dir>/doc/PgcEdit_manual.txt", and finally, it opens the online HTML version stored at VideoHelp.
  The old, obsolete single text file has been removed from the distribution.
• A. Added an option to tell PgcEdit which web browser you want to use. Now, the homepages, online docs and DVD-Replica online help are available also for Linux and Mac users.
• E. The shortcuts of the context menus of the PGC selector are now displayed in the menu.

• E. The "DVD modified, are you sure?" warning now allow to save the DVD.
• E. New Preview 1.9 by jeanl. In info mode, the buttons outlines are displayed. Also, mfc42.dll is now linked in the executable, and is therefore not needed anymore under Linux.
• F. Bug in the Search function in All mode: the line numbers were wrong.
• F. Menu Editor: The Align button functions where not working as expected when the current button position was previously edited manually. Fixed.
• F. Workaround for a Tk bug under X11 (Mac and Linux): a wrong height is calculated by Tk for windows with menus. Therefore, the OK/Cancel buttons were hidden in the menu editor.

• F. Trace: LinkTopCell in a menu button linked to the previous cell. Fixed.
• F. Fixed a rare bug when reading the menu buttons informations.
• F. Fixed some english grammar/vocabulary errors.

PgcEdit 0.6.0

PgcEdit 0.6.0.

• A. Burn DVD / Create ISO support for Double Layer DVD+R and DL DVD-R:
  - The method allow the user to select the layer break in a wide range of cells (actually twice as wide as the 'standard' method)!
  - Added a GUI to specify the Layer Break cell.
  - Added menu "Options -> Burn / Create ISO setup" menu to call the Burn Setup dialog directly from the main window.
  - The Burn Setup window has been modified to include, among other things, the capacity of a single layer DVD and of a double layer DVD.
  - New starter app for MacOSX (v0.5a), by Pucklock, including mkisofs 2.01 (needed for the Create ISO function.) Thanks to Pucklock! Note that this new starter app starts the X11 version automatically instead of the Aqua version.
• R. Removed the original link to DVD Decrypter's homepage in the Burn Setup dialog because this page is discontinued, and may be monitored by "a major DVD company". Replaced by a direct download link at VideoHelp.
• A. Utilities -> Remap Title Numbers function to renumber the Titles. The references to the Title numbers in the VMG are automatically updated.
• A. Utilities -> Delete last VTS in DVD function. Use this function only when the last titleset is not referenced!
• A. Info -> Find Jumps To Nowhere function showing commands and PrevPGCN, NextPGCN or GoUpPGCN links jumping to non existing PGCs or Titles.
• A. Calls Cross References: Added listing of jumps to nowhere references.
• A. Added an option to display the PGC labels as text in the context menu of an empty line of the PGC selector.
• A. Added shortcut Control+P to launch the PGC Preview.

• E. Menu Editor: Changed the menu labels Buttons -> Align vertically and Align horizontally to Align on same column and Align on same row.
• E. Now, there is no need to select your Web Browser the first time an HTML page is opened under Mac OSX: the 'open' command is used instead.
• E. Under Linux and Mac OSX, the config files are now saved in "~/.PgcEdit/".
  Under all platforms, the leading dot has been removed from the filenames.
• F. Burn DVD: The calculation of the size of DVD-ROM files crashed when an empty DVD-ROM directory was present in the compilation.
• F. Fixed some bugs in the Find All function: the line number (when the target was a pre, post or cell command) and the cell number (when the target was a button or BOV) were off by 1, and the button group was not always correctly displayed. The GUI has been changed also to avoid the Tcl/Tk limitaiton of the number of occurences that can be displayed in a canvas.
• F. Jump to PGC Upon DVD Insert macro: when several LUs were present and the user selected the option to process all LUs, there was a bug in the reconstruction of the commands of the modified PGCs in LU 2 and following.
• F. PGC Editor: The color table was not saved after an Import Colors from an IFO file.
• F. An error occured when trying to hi-lite the target of a Jump command when the target VTS was not present.

PgcEdit 0.6.1

PgcEdit 0.6.1

• A. = Added feature.
• E. = Enhancement.
• R. = Removed.
• F. = Bug fix.

• A. Burn: Added support for ImgBurn. The burn function now uses ImgBurn instead of DVD Decrypter to burn the ISO. Although it is recommended to use ImgBurn, it is still possible to use DVD Decrypter, for backward compatibility.
• A. Burn: Added a "Launch ImgBurn" button in the burn dialog to easily examine your blank media before launching the burn operation.
• A. The "Fix number of streams" macro is now launched automatically when a DVD is opened (but not when the DVD is reopened). If some discrepancies are found, the user is prompted to fix them. An option to disable this feature has been added in the Options menu.
• A. PGC Editor: Added a function to create a blank cell in a PGC. Can be used also in a dummy PGC. You may use VobBlanker to replace the new cell. Useful if you want to add a new clip or a menu page in a domain.

• A. Trace Mode -> State menu: Added functions to snapshot the current trace position and state, to be able to return to a snapshot point at any time. Also, some snapshot points are automatically saved during the trace. This feature can be used as a limited undo of the last trace steps. Drawback: the 'PGC Played' flags and highlights are lost after a restore.
• A. Trace Mode: A special snapshot point is recorded automatically when the user quits the trace mode, and restored when the trace mode is reenabled (and when the current DVD is reopened with File -> Reopen DVD). It can also be restored with State -> Return to -> Trace Mode Closed.
• A. Trace mode: Added some keyboard shortcuts, available in trace mode only:
  - Control-Right: -> Step
  - Control-Up: ->> Next PB
  - Control-Down: ->>> Run
  - Control-Left: ->| Break
  - Escape: ->| Break
• A. Added some keyboard shortcuts in main panel:
  - Control+Shift+B: Incremental backup,

• A. New functions to add, modify, export and import user comments for the PGCs. The comments are displayed in the PGC selector pane, in the current PGC title and in all places where a PGC label is displayed.
• A. Added an option to allow PgcEdit to automatically add PGC comments when creating new PGCs or for information purposes. Currently, the Calls Cross References and Import Startup/Intro/Closing Clip functions are able to create comments automatically.
• A. Added an option to automatically load and save the PGC comments in the backup folder when a DVD is opened or saved.
  
• E. The Utilities and Macros menus are now removed, and replaced by the DVD, Domain, PGC, Menu and Title menus.
• E. The Options menu is now splitted in sub-menus Startup, Input/Output, User Interface and Command Editor.
• E. Moved the Plugins menu before the Tools menu. (Was after the Tools menu.)
• E. The Return key can now be used to accept all requesters. (Same action as clicking the OK button.)
• E. Added an Help button in the Search All results, and in the Go to Calling Command windows.
• E. Added several options in the PGC Editor's Celltimes.txt function.
• E. It is now possible to delete a range of cells at once in the PGC Editor.
• E. In the PGC Editor's subpic streams assignments frame, a message shows now which subpic streams are really necessary according to the current domain stream attributes. Also, in the assign streams GUI, the unused streams are now grayed out, although it is still possible to modify the assignment.
• E. It is now impossible to configure the Domain Streams Attributes's video mode with an illegal combination of flags (for example 4:3 + LetterBox or Pan&Scan, or 16:9 without either Letterbox or Pan&Scan or both.)
• E. The GUI of the Remap Title Numbers function has been enhanced.
• E. Renumber GOTOs option: The GOTO commands duplicated or copied/pasted to the clipboard are now also automatically renumbered.
• E. It is now possible to specify the GPRM to use for the Import First-Play Clip and Import Title's Intro Clip functions, and force the macro to continue even if there are no unused GPRMs remaining in the DVD.
• E. Added an option in the Import Title's Intro Clip macro to display the intro clip only the first time the title is played.
• E. Changed the default settings for the "Enable Navigation Buttons" macro.
• E. Trace: Renamed the preview option "Start Preview automatically when playing a cell?" to "Open Preview automatically when playing a cell?".
• E. Trace's snapshot menu: The PGC label and pre/post/cell line number are now displayed in the menu items of the Snapshot submenus, and a new "Clear all Snapshots" function has been added.
• E. Info -> PGC: Added the Angle number in the cells list.
• E. Info -> PGC param and Cells tables: Added the total playing time for each domain, and the total playing time for the whole DVD.
• E. PUO editor: added a button to input the PUOs as a value. Can be used to paste the value in the PUO_plugin.
• E. Better handling and error messages when an invalid Nav Pack is found when scanning for menu buttons or BOVs.
• E. The error message displayed when trying to load an encrypted VOB from the DVD drive says now clearly that it's a CSS encryption problem.
  
• R. The DVDShrink Remote Buttons and DVDShrink Streams Remapping macros are removed. The same functions are now availables in the DVDShrink Plugin , as well as two new functions to launch DVDShrink from within PgcEdit.
• R. Burn: Removed the "Download Daemon Tools" button on systems running in Germany and Unided Kingdom, due to legal issues in these countries.
  
• F. Burning double layer DVDs did not work if the "Split ISO image into 1 GB chunks" option was enabled.
• F. The VTS_TMAPT table is now updated upon creation or deletion of a PGC in the Title domain.
• F. The Title number displayed in the PGC selector was wrong when the TTNs were not stored in ascending order in the title domain.
• F. A Set, SetCLnk, CSetLnk or CSetCLnk using a SPRM as the first operand of the IF condition was not flagged as invalid. However, it was not possible to enter such an illegal command in the command editor.
• F. Command Editor: Fixed the error opening the Command Editor when the "Start in Trace Mode" option was on and a DVD was loaded via the command line.
• F. Fixed a very rare bug in the handling of the Command Editor window size.
• F. The PGC Editor window was too small when displayed on a 800x600 screen.
• F. Menu viewer/editor: When a menu group has both the Letterbox AND Pan&Scan flags set, the menu was displayed in pan&scan mode. Now, PgcEdit checks the video attributes of the current domain to determine the display mode.
• F. It was possible to crash the BOVs menu viewer/editor if the scan for BOVs of the current titleset was interrupted.
• F. Trace mode: When the Next Chapter button was pressed when the last program was playing, sometimes the last program was played again, instead of the NextPGCN link or post command.
• F. Trace mode: The Title PUOs (in the VMG_TT_SRPT table) were not displayed in the Watch PUOs window.
• F. Trace mode: In "Next PB" mode, the playback stopped when entering the post commands of a dummy PGC. Now, the playback stops only if there is a pre/ post breakpoint on the dummy PGC.
• F. On foreign window platforms, the config files were saved in the user's home (or in the "Application Data" folder if this folder was present.) Now, the config files are saved in the correct application data folder, even if his name is different.
• F. Fixed some little bugs when a VTS has no VTS_TMAPTI table at all.
• F. A bug prevented the Create New Blank Cell function to automatically save the DVD.
• F. New version v1.11 of PsKill.exe by SysInternals.com (in the bin folder under Windows). The previous version was sometimes wrongly identified as a possible virus by some virus killers.
• F. New 'Play All' Title bug: In trace mode, JumpVTS_TT to the new TTN was unable to find the target PGC.

PgcEditPreview v2.1, par Jeanl:

• Fixed the overlay buffer pointers that were not set to 0 when "no overlay" was selected.
• Now allocating oversized blocks to avoid crashes that have been seen with (probably) faulty mpeg data. (See the Taelon posts on this page.)

[r0lZ]

PgcEdit 0.6.2

PgcEdit v0.6.2 (December 2, 2005)

• E. PGC Editor's cells flags: The Access Restricted and the VOBU Still flags are now availables in the Cells Type Flags editor, rather than directly in the cells list. Previously, only the VOBU Still was available. The Type Flags button contains now two values, one for each byte. Also, some of the flags labels have been changed to reflect more closely the official terminology.
• E. PGC Editor: Added tooltips on the cell command number fields to display the current cell command. The cell commands numbers higher than the number of cell commands currently defined are now highlighted in pink. Similarily, the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN link values are highlighted in pink if the target PGC doesn't exist.
• E. Enable All Operations now prompts the user if he wants to remove also the Access Restricted flags on the cells of the current PGC, when this flag is set on some cells. Warning: the Access Restricted flag is especially used by the Sony ARccOS protection. In this case, it should not be removed.
• E. Changed the listbox/entry default color to use the Windows default. Added Option -> User Interface -> White Listbox Background also under Windows and Mac OSX.
• E. Burn DVD: a new selector button has been added to select the DL media type from the main dialog. The Sectors in L0 value in the Burn Setup window is now ignored when burning a DL+R.
• E. Since ImgBurn is now stable and doesn't require the layer break sector number in his settings anymore, the dialog asking if the user wants to copy the layer break value in the clipboard has been removed when ImgBurn is used, and when a DL DVD-R is used.
• E. Burn DVD: when the log is displayed, the Save button uses now by default the same filename as the ISO, but with a _log.txt extension.
• A. A new menu "Options -> Install -> Install a plugin" has been added to help the novice user to install a PgcEdit plugin.
• E/F. The standalone version of PgcEdit now uses freeWrap version 6.1. This solves the problem of the mouse double-clicks being passed through the file open/save or folder selection dialogs to the underlying window.
• F. The Kill PGC playback function now appends a LinkPGCN command at the end of the pre-commands when the NextPGC link is non-zero and doesn't point to itself. Without this command, the PGC was sometimes played.
• F. Fixed the bug in Remove Cells function of the PGC Editor that caused the function to silently fail in some occasions.
• F. The Prohibited User Operations window was sometimes pushed below the main window when the Input Value button was used.
• F. Import Title Closing Clip crashed if the current PGC was a PGC without a Title number.
• F. Fixed a problem on some Windows systems where the web browser executable was wrongly considered as not executable by TCL/TK.
• F. Burn DVD: Workaround for a problem with mkisofs on some systems: Mkisofs reports sometimes an "Invalid node - -m" error when the backup folders are not deleted. Now, when this error occur, a dialog pops-up, asking if you want to delete the backups, continue w/o deleting the backups, or cancel.

DVD Shrink plugin v1.3

• Added function to clear the Analysis cache of DVDShrink, to force it to recompute the analysis of the already processed DVDs, or to preserve disc space.

[r0lZ]

PgcEdit 0.6.3

PgcEdit v0.6.3 release history:

• A. It is now possible to bypass a menu with buttons with Kill Playback. The user is prompted to select the button to simulate.
• A. Pgc EDitor -> Create new blank cell: New interface. It is now possible to insert the cell at the beginning of the PGC.
• E. Pgc Editor -> Create New Blank Cell: The GUI has been revamped completely. It is now possible to use an existing and referenced Cell from the original VOB file, or, as before, to create a new blank cell. The button to call this function has been renamed from "Create a new blank cell" to "Create a new cell".
• A. Pgc EDitor -> Create new blank cell and Reassign VOB/Cell ID: Option added to reuse the last tiny blank cell at the end of the VOB file (available only when that cell has been created previously by PgcEdit.)
• E. Pgc Editor -> Create new blank cell and Reassign VOB/Cell ID: There is now a Preview button in the GUI to show the selected replace cell.
• E. Jump to PGC upon DVD insert: When the target PGC is in a menu domain, the last title played before the target PGC is now always called (but not played) just before the target menu PGC so that a valid resume point exists when the menu is reached for the first time. This method should fix the (rare) problem caused by the usage of a RSM command in the menu to call the main title. Previously, the title PGC was called before the menu only when it was in the same titleset than the target menu.
• E. When importing titles in a DVD with parental managment, the user is now prompted to remove the parental managment of the original DVD, and when importing a menu, it is prompted to clear the parental managment IDs of the menu PGCs, if there are IDs in the menu.
• E. Burn DVD: Interface revamped, and new option to close automatically PgcEdit after a successful ISO creation.
• E. Burn DVD: The new ImgBurn 1.1 command lines options /CLOSESUCCESS and /WAITFORMEDIA are now used instead of /CLOSE (though /CLOSE is still used if the ISO image is burnt with DVD Decrypter.) Please note that you need ImgBurn 1.1.0.0 or the "Close ImgBurn" option will not work!
• F Burn DVD: The layer break sector passed to ImgBurn or DVDD was wrong when burning a DL DVD-R. (No problem with DL DVD+R.)
• F. Burn DVD: Changed the way the backup files are excluded from the compilation. In v0.6.2, the old method caused harmless errors when the DVD files were moved in the new VIDEO_TS directory.
• F? Burn DVD: Changed again the syntax to exclude the backup files from the compilation to avoid the mkisofs "-m" bug.
• F Burn DVD: A batch file is now always used under Windows to call mkisofs, and the mkisofs command line is split in environment variables to avoid the line too long M$-DOS bug under Win9X.
• F? Burn DVD: Redirecting stderr to stdout doesn't work under Win9X! Workaround: the output of mkisofs is not well checked under Win9X. For this reason, the user should take care of the error messages in the log!
  See the warning under Win9X when the Burn Setup dialog is opened.
• F. Burn DVD: Wrong error message when moving the backup folders in VIDEO_TS.
• F. Burn DVD: Under Windows, it is now impossible to type foreign characters in the output ISO field, because those characters are not correctly translated by MKISOFS, and therefore the file cannot be opened by ImgBurn.
• F. Kill PGC Playback: The Set, SetCLnk, CSetCLnk or CSetLNK command with a Link to a cell, program or chapter were not trapped. Now, a dialog pops up to warn the user.
• F. PGC Editor: Fixed a bug in the Cell preview: A wrong cell was shown after a Vob/Cell ID remapping.
• F. PGC Editor: Toggling the Layer Break checkbox did not change the seamless joint flag value. This bug has been introduced in v0.6.2.
• F. Command Editor - CallSS command: The option to resume at the point where the title was interupted (resume cell 0) has been removed, since this option seems illegal in all cases.
• F. Remap Titlesets: The modified JumpSS-VTSM commands in the menu buttons of the VMGM were not saved during the operation.
• W. Workaround for the pskill.exe problem with McAfee antivirus. It is now encrypted in the standalone executable, so that McAfee doesn't complain. McAfee may still complain when the real file is scanned in the bin folder.

DVDShrink plugin v1.4 released!

• DVDShrink Remote Buttons: Added the options to use the Prev Chapter button and/or the Return button to go back to the beginning of the previous title

[r0lZ]

PgcEdit 0.6.3.1

v 0.6.3.1

• F. Burn DVD: If the user cancels the layer break selection dialog, the dialog is closed, but the OK and Cancel button of the main burn dialog are still disabled. There is no way to close this dialog, and the user must kill PgcEdit.
  This problem has been introduced in v0.6.3, and is now fixed.

Merci à Tobi pour le bug repport!

[r0lZ]

PgcEdit v7.0 released!

PgcEdit v7.0 released!

Comme il m'a été demandé par plusieurs utilisateurs (merci, mecs!) j'ai finalement retiré cet inutile "0." devant le numéro de version. L'énorme pas entre la dernière version officielle (0.6.3.1) et cette v7.0 ne veut malheureusement pas dire qu'il s'agit d'une mise à jour particulièrement importante, ni que tous les bugs sont corrigés.

Release notes:

• A. Added a preview checkbox in the upper left corner of the main window. When ticked, selecting a PGC manually starts the preview automatically.
• A. Menu Editor: New function "Edit -> Copy button position only" to copy the current button position. Paste it with "Paste Current Button".
• A. Menu Editor: New functions "Button -> Increase / Decrease Button Number" to move the current button in the list of buttons.
• A. New function Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS to find out the global references to the current VTS. (This function doesn't show the references from the current VTS to itself.) Useful to verify if the last VTS is still referenced and to reroute the references before removing it.
• A. Preview: In trace mode, it is now possible to blank the current cell from the preview window. In addition, when all cells of the current PGC are blanked, the user is prompted to kill the playback of the PGC.
• A. Kill Playback: When killing the playback of a Title PGC, the user has now the option to blank all cells of the PGC, to easily strip the original cells later with FixVTS or VobBlanker. This function is similar to the option to remove the cells of a menu PGC and convert it to a dummy.
• A. Added the menu Options -> Functions -> Kill PGC Playback -> Always remove or blank the PGC cells, to eliminate the dialog asking if the cells must be removed (for a Menu PGC) or blanked (for a Title PGC.)
• A. PGC Editor: Added a function to delete all multi-angles cells, keeping only one angle. The Angle flags and First ILVU end value on the remaining cells are removed as well. It is then possible to strip the unused ILV cells from the VOB files with VobBlanker. It is necessary to remove all angles from the DVD or the domain that will be processed with VobBlanker, and to enable the "Fix Always VOB SYNCI/SRI Pointers in Titles" option!
  The same function can be used to remove the ILV flags and First ILVU End value in interleaved (mono-angle) PGCs.
• A. PGC Editor -> Remove Cells: Added an option to keep the program numbers in sync with the original cells. However, when this option is enabled, it is possible that several PGs are pointing to the same cell. A warning is issued in this case, since this situation might be illegal.
• A. Added the menu Tools -> FixVTS, to launch FixVTS with the first VOB of the current domain already loaded. Useful to strip the blanked cells from the VOBs after a cells blanking from the preview.
• A. Domain Streams Attributes: It is now possible to remove the audio and subpic streams selectively in this dialog. The streams assignments in the PGCs of the current domain are also deleted automatically. The subsequent streams are automatically shifted if necessary. The SetSTN commands are NOT modified! (Note that this dialogue is now read-only when it is called from the PGC Editor.)
• A. Changed the maximum number of chanels to 8 in the Audio parameters of the Domain Streams Attributes dialog, to take the new formats into account.
• E. Calls Cross Reference and Go To Calling Command: A Root menu (that is normally callable with the remote) is now considered as unreferenced if all titles of the same VTS are unreferenced, or if all titles have the PUO to prohibit calling this menu. For the Subpic, Audio, Angle and PTT menus, all non-dummy PGCs of the same titleset are checked, including the menus. For the Title Menu, all non-dummy PGCs of the whole DVD are checked.
• E. Burn DVD: Support for the new /TESTMODE option of ImgBurn 1.2.0.0 (for DVD-R only!)
• E. Burn DVD: Added a button in the burn setup dialog to use the faster version of mkisofs.exe, now provided with PgcEdit (under Windows only.)
• E. Burn DVD: Added a check to ensure that mkisofs.exe is properly configured in the Burn Setup dialog. Some guys used ImgTool.exe instead!
• E. Burn DVD: Added an option to save automatically the Graph Data file for DVDInfoPro. The file is saved with the same name as the source ISO file, but with the .IBG extension. Requires ImgBurn 1.3 or more.
• E. Burn DVD: Added new burn speeds in the speed selector dropdown menu.
• E. Burn DL DVD: When a suitable cell cannot be found for the layer break, PgcEdit displays now in which cell the layer break should be. You can therefore easily use VobBlanker to split that cell.
• E. Remap Title Numbers: Now, this function searches for SPRM(4:Title Number in Volume) in the VM commands of the DVD. If SPRM 4 is used, a warning is displayed, as it is dangerous to remap the title numbers in this case.
• E. Menu Viewer/Edit Command button: In expert mode, the "Modify the command for the 2 (or 3) groups?" prompt is not displayed anymore, except when the original commands are not identical in all groups.
• E. Read DVD: Added a check for illegal entries in VMG_TT_SRPT table (Title assigned to a non existing PGC or 2 Titles assigned to the same PGC.) If the bad Title is the last one in the table, it is optionally removed, but the user must still fix the VM commands, if needed.
• E. When loading a new DVD, the Fix number of streams in VMGM/VTSI_MAT tables function do not prompt the user any more to fix the Menu domains with one subpic stream defined but never used by the menu PGCs, because it's legal and frequent on commercial DVDs, and this warning confused some users. However, this check is still made when the Fix number of streams is called from the "DVD" menu, and when opening the Domain Streams Attributes GUI.
• E. When loading the DVD, the End Byte pointers of the tables are now verified whenever possible to avoid stupid crashes with badly authored DVDs.
• E. PGC Editor: When editing a menu PGC, only one audio and one subpic stream is now displayed, since more streams in the menu domain is illegal.
• F. PGC Editor - Create New Cell: Disabling the option to create the backup of the VOB file did not work.
• F. The "New 'Play All' PGC" function was broken. Also, there is now a check to warn the user if the number of programs in the new PGC is greater than 127 or the number of chapters greater than 99.
• F. The target of some Jump_VTS_TT and Jump_VTS_PTT was not found by the find target routine. This caused some bugs in the Go to calling command, Calls cross references, Find jumps to nowhere, Jump to target and Highlight target functions.
• F. Trace: When the Title Menu button is pressed during playback of a VTSM menu PGC, the Title menu is now called. Previously, a Resume to Title was made. The correct behaviour in this case is uncertain, because the specs are not clear on this subject, but this behaviour seems logical and many players (though not all!) are doing this. A resume is still issued when the Title menu is pressed during playback of a VMGM menu PGC.
• F. Trace: Small bug fixed: when a cell command was reached, it was necessary to execute it twice, and the command was logged twice as well. However, the cell command was simulated only once.
• F. Small bug in the Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert function, introduced in 0.6.3 fixed: the resume cell of the CallSS command inserted in the beginning of the pre-commands of the resume title was wrong.
• F. Fixed a bug in the Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS function. The Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links of the current VTS were wrongly displayed.
• F. Burn DL DVD: When burning a DL DVD saved by DVD Remake v3.4 (without first resaving it with PgcEdit), the computation of the layer break position was wrong. To fix this problem, the DVD (including single-layer DVDs) are saved automatically when the burn function is started.
• W. Added several workarounds for a (possible) bug in TitleWriter: TitleWriter assigns several Title numbers to the same PGC. Now, PgcEdit should support this strange (if not illegal) way to use the VMG_TT_SRPT table.
• W. Under Windows XP, the Windows command TSKill.exe is now used instead of PSKill.exe (which caused false positive warnings of some picky anti-virus programs). However, PSKill is still used when TSKill is not found. (The kill executable is used only by the Burn DVD function to abort the creation of the ISO image when the user clicks on the Cancel button.)

Insertion de sous-titres

Bonjour à toutes et tous.

Il y a-t-il une version française (ou au moins une fichier d'aide) ?.

Voici ce que je cherche à faire :
J'ai un projet créé par Néro Vision Express, qui contient un certain nombre de films accessibles via un menu.
D'un autre côté, j'ai des fichiers de sous-titres, un par film, que je souhaite insérer dans chacun des films.

Je souhaite bien entendu conserver la structure des fichiers VTS_xx_x.ifo, qui est liée à celle du menu video_ts.xxx. Ils devront cependant être adaptés à l'insertion des sous-titres.

PGCEdit permet-il de faire cela (je n'ai pas réussi avec IfoEdit, mais peut-être m'y suis-je mal pris) ?.

Merci par avance de votre aide

Bonne journée

Non, il; n'y a pas de fichier d'aide en français pour PgcEdit, à part un très vieux fichier texte, que tu trouveras sur ma homepage. Il est dépassé, mais explique les bases.

Pour tes sous-titres, tu dois demuxer les fichiers VOB des titres (mais pas des menus) avec PgcDemux. N'oublies pas de sauver le fichier CellsTimes.txt.

Ensuite, il faut les remuxer, de préférence avec Muxman, dans le même ordre, en y ajoutant le fichier s-t supplémentaire, et il faut charger le fichier Cellstimes.txt pour conserver les chapitres.

Ensuite, utilise PgcEdit pour réimporter les titres modifiés dans le DVD original. Utilise la fonction File -> Replace VTST Titles. Quand PgcEdit te demanders ai tu veux conserver les tables originales, il vaut mieux, dans ce cas-ci, répondre non, sinon tes nouveaux sous-titres ne seront pas définis dans les IFOs.

Vérifies que les chapitres sont corrects, et que tes sous-titres sont accessibles avant de graver!

Attention qu'avec cette méthode, il faut absolument traiter tous les titres d'un même titleset en même temps. Par conséquent, si tu as plusieurs titres qui se suivent dans les mêmes fichiers VOBs, il faut t'arranger pour que tous les sous-titres soient aussi dans le même fichier, en respectant les timings.

Bonne chance!

Bonjour

A priori, PGCEdit est vraiment le logiciel qu'il me fallait. Il a l'air extrêmement puissant, et effectivement beaucoup plus convivial que IFoEdit.

Concernant mon projet, comme j'avais les VOB originaux, donc avec les sous-titres que Néro Vision avait enlevés, je n'ai pas eu à faire la manip démux+remux.
Le seul petit soucis qu'il me reste c'est que
- les sous-titres apparaissent en noir, alors que sur les vob originaux qui ont été rappatriés, ils sont en blanc,
- je n'ai pas de son, alors que le flux est bien détecté (dans le lecteur DVD de IfoEdit, il y a bien English qui apparait dans "flux audio").
Lorsque j'ouvre les fichiers vob avec Néro Show Time par exemple, les sous-titres apparaissent bien en blanc, et avec le son.

Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée de ce qui se passe, et surtout comment retrouver mes sous-titres blanc, et ma bande son.

Merci beaucoup par avance et bonne journée.

(re) bonjour

Je ne sais pas si cela peut aider à répondre aux questions ci-dessus :
Lorsque j'ai à nouveau ouvert le DVD avec PGCEdit, j'ai eu la boite de dialogue suivante :

Verify number of streams (in whole DVD)
Warning : there are 22discrepancies in some VMGM/VTSI_MAT tables.
Do you want to run the "Fix number of streams" macro to fix them ?

J'ai cliqué sur OUI, et obtenu la boite suivante :

There are 1 subpic streams defined for the title domain in the VTSI_MAT of VTST1.
0 subpic streams are really used by the PGCs
Fix the number of subpic streams in VTSI_MAT to 0 ?

J'ai cliqué sur NON pour les 22 VTS, et la boite suivante s'est ouverte :

Find BOVs (Buttons Over Video in title domain)
Les fichiers ont été scannés, avec comme message pour tous "Found 0 buttons".

Je ne sais pas si cela peut avoir un rapport avec les difficultés rencontrées.

Encore merci de votre aide

[boursicot]

Ca y est, j'ai récupéré le son, en intervenant manuellement avec IfoEdit dans chaque VTS, table VTS_PGCITI et VTS_PGC_1, ligne audio stream 1 status, soit 22 fichiers modifiés.
Existerait-il un moyen plus rapide grâce à PGCEdit ?
ou aurais-je commis une erreur pour que cette ligne "audio stream 1 status"
n'ai pas été modifiée ?.
