PGC PREVIEW AND CUT WINDOWS

 

DOMAIN: TITLES (PREVIEW & CUT) AND MENUS (PREVIEW ONLY)

 

PGC peview and/or cut operations open one new window:

 

These windows can be opened using the popup menu (mouse right click). in the PGC area of the main window or menu window using the Prev/cut button. From Cells dlg window the cells can also be previewed or cut individually (even in MENUS domain).

 

Cuts are GOP based, and are not completely clean (the audio is cut in a brute way). VobBlanker detects if the initial selected GOP is a non-closed one and automatically changes it to broken to allow the settop to play it w/o problems. Also, VobBlanker warns the user if, as consequence of the cut, some subs are going to be orphan. In this case the best option is to select other GOP.
