PgcEdit: Version history A. = Added feature R. = Removed E. = Enhancement F. = Fixed bug W. = Workaround H. = Housekeeping modifications 9.3 (March 22, 2010) - Main window and commands list: A. The Dead commands that cannot be executed due to unconditional jumps or gotos are now highlighted in purple in the commands pane (if the Highlight Gotos and Errors option is enabled.) E. A GOTO was not renumbered when its target was deleted. Now, it is renumbered so that it points to the first command following the group of deleted commands. F. Backward GOTO targets were often wrong after a copy/paste operation, and when GOTO commands were appended to a scratchbook section. E. Right-clicking on the Copy button in the main window does a Copy As Text. - Search box and its result window: E. Added a new Tab in the Search results window, to see only the commands. Useful for example to check which value a GPRM can have. You can double-click on a line of the Summary tab of the Search window to search for that particular command, and return to the previous search with the new Previous button. It is also possible to save the summary and to copy it to the clipboard. Thanks to M_Knox! E. The "Most Recently Used" contextual menu of the Search box included dupes when a leading or trailing space was included or when there were upper / lower case differences. Now, the "almost dupes" are automatically removed. - PGC Editor: E. Improved the tooltip of the NextPGCN pink link in menus. F. PUOs Editor: It was not possible to input a value for the PUOs editor when it was launched from the PGC editor. A. PGC Editor -> Subpicture Colour Lookup Table -> Import: Added the VobSub index files (*.idx) to the supported CLUT formats. (Note that the conversion from YCrCb to RGB is not always accurate.) F. Pgc Editor -> Cell Type Flags editor: Now, the user cannot set the Angle and Interleaved Allocation flags in a menu. A. PgcEditor -> Create New Cell: New option to copy all cells of a VOB in one operation. F. When the first 16:9 cell was created in a menu domain, the letterboxed or pan&scan flag was not automatically set in the domain stream attributes. Now, the letterboxed flag is forced by default. - Menu Editor: E. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT! It is now possible to edit all button positions for all groups at the same time: * The position values are now automatically computed for the groups that are not currently displayed. * The pseudo-group "All" is now a checkbox. When it is ticked, the user can edit all groups at the same time, including the positions of the buttons. * The group radiobuttons are now used only to select the group to display in the viewer, or the group to edit when the All checkbox is not ticked. * The new All checkbutton is highlighted in RED when there are parameter differences in the groups of the CURRENT button. It is still pink when there are differences in the other buttons. The tooltip of the All button now contains the list of the group differences for all buttons. * The button position sliders are now highlighted in yellow when there is a notable position difference in the different groups, as it might be better to edit the button positions in each group separately. * New dialogue when the user quits the editor with OK and there are button parameter differences in the groups (except for the positions). E. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT when creating a new cell with buttons, so that the highlight of the new button is now visible by default. The new cells can now easily be used as a basis for simple still menus, with the help of VobBlanker and DVDSubEdit: * When the FIRST button is created in a cell of a 16:9 domain and the user selects the option to create 2 (or 3) groups, and there is no subpic decoding stream defined in the PGC, PgcEdit now creates a stream with 2 subpics: subpic 0 for the wide display mode, and subpic 1 for the letterbox AND pan&scan modes. It is therefore possible now to edit the button highlights of 2 groups independently with DVDSubEdit. (Note that 3 groups are still not, and will probably never be supported.) * When a new button is created, colour scheme 1 is now assigned by default to the button, instead of colour scheme 0 (usually transparent). * When a new dummy PGC is created, PgcEdit now uses its own CLUT instead of the Muxman default CLUT. As a consequence, when the first button is created and the original colour scheme is still undefined, the default colour schemes created will be different to those created by previous versions of PgcEdit. Colour scheme 1 (the default) is special, as none of the 4 colours are fully transparent, to ensure that the highlight of the buttons created by PgcEdit will be visible anyway. * When the first button of a cell is created and the current colour scheme has not yet been defined and is still full transparent, a default colour scheme with reasonable values is created automatically. * **** DON'T FORGET TO VERIFY THE NEW BUTTONS WITH A GOOD PLAYER! **** A. New functions in the Edit menu "Clear all adjacent button links", "Automatically link buttons (numerically)" and "Automatically link buttons (by position)" to let PgcEdit clear or set the adjacent button links automatically. The Automatically Link functions fail in some cases, notably when there are auto-activating buttons, therefore a verification function "Verify Buttons Accessibility" has been added to check if all non-hidden buttons can be accessed with the remote from all non-auto activating buttons. This function is automatically called at the end of the Automatically Link Buttons processes and when the user OK the editor. N. New "Paste and Increment" functions in the Edit menu to paste a command and automatically increment some of its parameters. A simplified version "Paste and Increment JumpVTS_PTT" is designed to fill the commands of the chapter menu buttons. See the help in the Edit menu of the editor. F. When importing or copying a whole menu, the number of numerically selectable buttons was sometimes wrong. F. The number of buttons was not updated in the list of cells of the menu viewer when the editor was closed. - Menu Viewer and Editor: E. It is now possible to select the adjacent buttons of the auto-activating buttons with Control+Cursors. (A real player does not allow this with its remote.) E. It is now possible to select the previous or next button with the keyboard shortcuts Control+P and Control+N. Tooltips added. - File menu: F. Open DVD: Fixed some bugs when fake PGCs and LUs are automatically removed F. File -> Recent DVDs: some DVDs were shown twice in the list. E. Find BOVs: Improved the method to find all BOVs when the option to Scan Only One VOBU Every N VOBUs is high and the cell is relatively small. F. Find BOVs: After having scanned a short cell, the scan of the remaining cells was very slow. F. New DVD: the commands added immediately after New DVD to the FP-PGC were lost, and the Jump To Title 1 command was not highlighted. A. New function File->Menu Buttons & BOVs->"Export and convert PAL <-> NTSC" to convert the position of the buttons from PAL to NTSC or vice versa during the export operation. The file can be imported in a converted DVD. - Edit menu: A. New Edit function "Dupe and Increment" to duplicate several commands at once and automatically adjust their parameters. Useful to create long lists of similar commands. See the help in the Edit menu. Clicking on the Duplicate button (in the bottom of the main window) with the right mouse button calls the new Dupe and Increment function. - Trace mode: E. The State -> Mark Played PGCs as '' option has been replaced by "Mark Called/Played PGCs in Comments". Now, a PGC is marked as Called and highlighted in light yellow when it has been accessed, and as Played and highlighted in light green when a video cell has been played. It is therefore easier to locate PGCs with never played video content. F. All Player Audio Capabilities flags were inverted in the Virtual Player Configuration and in SPRM(15). **** PLEASE VERIFY YOUR VIRTUAL PLAYER CONFIGURATION! **** F. A NextPGCN link not pointing to itself in a menu is now considered as invalid by the trace. F. Trace menu -> State -> Clear All Played/Called Comments and Highlights replaced the other comments with "-". Thanks wencaS! F. The Control+Down key (shortcut to start the trace) was active even when the trace mode was off. F. It is now impossible to jump to the post or cell commands of a cell without buttons but with an infinite still time. The user must now press a button on the remote to continue to trace. F. The trace was blocked when a Title PGC with BOVs and with the Button Select Or Activate PUO set was encountered. F. Fixed the hexadecimal string appearing in the Watch window. F. When the menu viewer was closed by an external function and not manually by the user, an error happened when the trace mode was closed. - DVD menu: E. Remove Useless Stuff has been greatly improved, and includes several new functions. The order of the operations has also been modified. * E. Clear Useless Set GPRM Commands now also converts the JumpSS_VMGM_PGC commands in the VMGM to simple LinkPGCN commands. * A. Added PGC and DVD -> Delete All Dead Commands to remove the commands that cannot be executed due to unconditional jumps or gotos. Use Info -> Find Dead Commands to examine the dead commands in the DVD. * A. New function "Delete All Dead Menubuttons" to remove the buttons that cannot or cannot easily enough be activated by the user due to PUO or too short playback time. * A. Added PGC and DVD -> Delete All NOPs to remove all useless NOPs (and move the goto targets to NOPs to the next non-NOP line.) - Domain menu: F. Delete Last PGC In Domain, when used on a PGC of a not-one_sequential Title often produced an error. - PGC menu: E. Kill PGC Playback, on PGCs with menu buttons or BOVs: PgcEdit tries now to pre-select the best button (in the best cell) to propose a reasonable default button to the user. E. When using Kill PGC Playback on a menu without VOB files, PgcEdit doesn't ask each time if the VOB file should be removed. Now, it checks if there are still references to the VOB in the IFO, and displays the dialogue only when that's the case. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: A new dialogue is shown when the target PGC is a menu so that the user can now select the longest Title for the resume point instead of the default resume Title. See point 12 of the guide here: http://www.digital-digest.com/~blutach/Jump2PGC/Jump2PGC_guide.html - Menu menu: F. After having replaced a menu domain with New Menu, it was impossible to create a new cell in the new menu. F. Change LU Language Code: It was impossible to define an "undefined" code. F. Menu -> New Menu bug: the menu was not usable after having cancelled the function. It was necessary to reload the DVD to access the menu. - Title menu: F. Fixed partially a problem with Import Title's Intro Clip, occurring when the title is visited (but not played) before the main menu. - Info menu: E. When applied to a Title, Root, Audio, Subpic, Angle or Chapter menu PGC, Go To Calling Command now also shows the Title PGCs from which the user can call the entry menu PGC with the corresponding button of the remote. E. Go To Calling Command has now an additional pink button to warn the user when there are jumps to nowhere in the DVD. The user can click the button to launch the Find Jumps To Nowhere GUI immediately. E. Go To Calling Commands (and similar functions): When the user clicks on a reference in the list, the focus is now automatically set to the command. F. Go To Calling Command crashed if the user clicked Refresh after having deleted the target PGC. Now, the GUI is simply closed. F. Go To Calling Command bug: the "Return To Target" button did not work properly after having used the "Refresh" button. Thanks to M_Knox! - Bookmarks menu: N. New Bookmarks menu. You can now assign a bookmark to any PGC, and quickly jump to that PGC. Thanks to M_KNOX for the idea and demo plugin. Note: the bookmarks are automatically saved and loaded with the DVD, and you can also export and import them. - Tools menu: E. There is now a new Contextual Help plugin, maintained by M_Knox. It uses the F1 key, so the F1 key has been removed from the Tools menu. There is a dialogue when you start PgcEdit v9.3 for the first time, to explain that you may need to reorganize the Tools menu. - Scratchbook menu: F. After having loaded a Scratchbook file in the scratchbook, the sub-menu of Append To Scratchbook (with the scratchbook sections) was not updated. - Options menu: A. Added the Options -> Input/Output -> Set Default Provider ID submenu, to force a specific Provider ID by default. F. Fixed a bug when the Highlight Gotos and Errors option was OFF. - General: F. Compiled with a new version of FreeWrap 6.42.4, with several fixes by M_Knox. This version should fix the problems with foreign characters in the file and path names, and a bug under some Linux flavours. Unfortunately, FreeWrap 6.42 uses new Windows functions, and therefore **** PGCEDIT DOESN'T RUN UNDER WIN 95/98/ME ANY MORE! **** F. Fixed most problems with foreign characters in the file or path names. E. The message boxes now have a scrollbar when the text is too long to fit. F. Fixed a bunch of typos and non-European spellings. Thanks to all betas! E. The tiny cells created by PgcEdit have now a blank subpic pack. As a consequence, the size of the VOB cell is now 20KB instead of 10KB. F. Yes/No/Cancel dialogues: the height of some dialogues was wrong, and a bug occurred when the option "use_internal_dialog" was manually set to "false" in PgcEdit.cfg. The icons have also been improved by M_Knox. E. Added "No to all" and/or "Yes to all" in some dialogues that can be shown many times in some circumstances. E. The torn off menus are now always on top of their parent windows, and they do not have a button in the Windows task bar any more. E. Improved the method to detect if the cells of a menu PGC can be played. E. Some cosmetic improvements (About menu, new bold or underlined text and clickable URLs in dialogues, ...) Thanks to M_Knox! F. Workaround for a system bug when renaming the backups folders. - Linux specific: F. Menu Editor, under Linux: Fixed the error (without consequence) happening when the user ticks or unticks the "All" checkbox. F. Three bugs under Linux in the new function that displays the text in the standard Yes/No/Cancel dialogues and in the text viewer. Thanks M_Knox! *. Unfortunately, due to an incompatibility in Wine with the new kernels, the preview doesn't work correctly any more under most Linux distributions. Let me know if you can find a workaround! 9.2 (February 16, 2009) E. Thanks to M_Knox, there are now nice looking new icons in the standard "yes/no/cancel", "please wait" and "donation reminder" dialogs. E. Delete Uncalled PGCs did not delete some PGCs considered as unsafe due to multiple sets of buttons/BOVs, even if all PGCs containing the multiple sets of buttons/BOVs were uncalled. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs deleted the uncalled PGCs that were NOT safe to delete due to multiple sets of buttons/BOVs when ALL uncalled PGCs were unsafe! E. When Go To Calling Command finds no jump to the current PGC, the PGC is now automatically marked as . F. Go To Calling Command: Bugs when the function was launched several times without closing the result window fixed by M_Knox. Thanks! E. Delete PGC and Kill Playback (with option to remove the cells) in menu: When all remaining PGCs in the menu are dummies, PgcEdit offers now to delete the menu VOB file and remove the VOB tables from the IFO. E. Delete Uncalled PGCs improved for speed. E. Info -> GPRM has now an option to search for the commands containing a GPRM in "All", "Read" or "Write" modes, so you can now, for example, find if a GPRM is used in read mode only, but never initialised by a Set command. E. Info -> Multiple Sets Of Buttons/BOVs: added a summary with the list of all PGCs containing multiple sets of buttons/BOVs. E. Info -> Multiple Sets Of Buttons/BOVs: When the option "Command Editor -> Allow PgcEdit to add automatic comments in the PGC labels" is ON, the comment "" is now added to all PGCs containing multiple button sets. F. Fixed some typos, and renamed "Exit Domain" to "Exit State". F. After having loaded a Scratchbook file in the scratchbook, the sub-menu of Append To Scratchbook (with the scratchbook sections) was not updated. F. Trace mode: When playing a multi-angle cell, PgcEdit was unable to identify the correct angle cell to play (except for angle 1), and issued a warning. F. Trace mode: The Menu Viewer was not closed when the user selected the GoUp button to resume to the Title domain (when the GoUpPGCN link = 0xFFFF). F. Trace mode: The Control+Arrow shortcut keys used to control the trace interfered with the Arrow keys shortcuts in the main window. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: The explanation on how to use the function was not displayed any more in v9.1 when it was launched from the FP-PGC. F. PGC Editor: PgcEdit highlights now in red illegal values of the Prev and Next PGCN links in the Menu domains. F. PGC Editor: It was possible to use the PTT Editor on a not-one_sequential Title if the current PGC was a dummy (or a cell has just been created.) F. Load DVD: PgcEdit deleted all LUs or all PGCs in a menu domain when a LU or PGC was a clone of another one because its offset pointer was pointing to the other LU or PGC. Now, it deletes automatically the cloned LUs, and prompts the user to keep or remove the cloned PGCs. F. Several small GUI bugs fixed by M_KNOX. 9.1 (January 3, 2009) F. DVD -> Clear Useless Set GPRM Commands and Info -> Find Useless Set GPRM Commands were sometimes erroneously considering a GPRM as useless. Clear Useless Set GPRM Commands and DVD -> Remove Useless Stuff were therefore dangerous to use, as they sometimes cleared a useful command. F. DVD -> Delete Last VTS produced an error when a PGC of the last VTS was selected when calling this function. The VTS was not properly deleted from disc. F. Preview -> Automatically Start Preview Playback produced an error. The menu worked as expected though, and the bug had no consequence. F. With the option "Allow tearoff menus" disabled, some entries in the main PgcEdit menu were not enabled when a DVD was loaded. F. Fixed the incorrect View -> Toolbar checkmark. E. Title -> Title Play Map Table: The headers of the columns no longer scroll when using the scroll bar. F. A JumpSS from a VTSM to a menu in another VTS was not flagged as illegal. F. PUO Editor: PgcEdit was frozen after having pasted a value in the Input Value dialog. F. Trace: The trace was stopped and impossible to continue when the preview was enabled and the VOB files were missing. F. Domain Stream Attributes: The new Film/Camera flag was not disabled in read-only mode. F. Since the sources of PgcEdit are no longer publicly available, I've removed all references to the GPL license from the program. F. Fixed several small bugs. 9.0 (December 23, 2008) GENERAL F. Fixed a bug that caused a crash on some PCs running Win XP or Vista when a system sound was played with a standard Yes/No/Cancel dialog. F. Since this bug might still be present on some systems, it is now possible to replace the system sounds with the standard bell or to use no sounds at all, with the Options -> User Interface -> Play Sounds submenu. F. PgcEdit hangs when a standard info/question/warning/error dialog is shown and several default sound files are missing in the Windows media folder. F. Tk bug fixed (not by me!) The clipboard is no longer emptied when PgcEdit is closed. E. It is now possible to show again the dialogs that have been hidden during the current session by ticking Options > User Interface > Display Hidden Dialog Boxes During Current Session. Previously, only the dialog that were permanently hidden via a "Hide this dialog" checkbox were restored. Note: The hidden dialogs during current session are restored automatically also when a new DVD is loaded (but not when the same DVD is reloaded.) F. Dialogs larger than the screen when they contain a very long error message. OPEN DVD E. When the DVD is currently loading or saving, the operation is shown in the title bar. It should not be possible any more to load or save the DVD or to quit PgcEdit while the current operation is still in progress. E. Open DVD: The frame rate of the FP-PGC is now checked and fixed if needed. E. Added a warning in the log when PgcEdit detects gaps in the VOB/Cell IDs numbering sequences of the VOB files when parsing them for menu buttons. E. When loading the DVD, PgcEdit can now create the first chapter in titles without any chapter at all. (Fix for a DVDRemake bug) F. The number of titles was not initialised correctly when a DVD with only a VIDEO_TS.IFO file created by File -> New DVD was read. E. Several enhancements to load somewhat damaged or butchered DVDs anyway. SCAN FOR BUTTONS/BOVS E. The buttons and BOVs are now saved in "menubuttons_new.but" each time the DVD is saved. Currently, the buttons and BOVs should be scanned only once. E. Scan Menu Buttons and BOVs: Now, PgcEdit tries to load the buttons from its menubuttons.but file (in the backup folder) whenever possible, to speed the loading process up. The BOVs are saved in that file only when a new backup is created. It is therefore recommended to enable the "Create Backup when a DVD is opened for the first time" input/output option. The BOV finder will be opened only when PgcEdit cannot retrieve all BOVs from the backup, for example when the last modification date of a VOB file has changed. It is still possible to force the scanning of the VOB files with the new "File -> Find Menu Buttons" and the old "File -> Find BOVs" functions. E. Added the "Assume No BOVs" option in the BOV finder to assume that all selected titlesets (that have not yet been scanned for BOVs) have no BOVs. It replaces the option to scan for BOVs automatically at startup. E. The BOV finder is now closed automatically when the scanning ends, except when it is launched from the File menu or when the user aborts the scan. F. The color table is not saved any more in the button files. (The color table is loaded from the VOB anyway when it is edited.) F. Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect parsing of menu buttons or BOVs when the number of buttons is > 0 but the number of groups is 0 in the nav pack. When this bad authoring is encountered, a warning is written in the log, and PgcEdit assumes that there are no buttons. F. Bug in the scanning for BOVs of DVDs burned in DVD+VR format. PREVIEW A. Thanks to Jeanl, the preview has now some audio support, including under Linux and Wine. Currently, it can play only the AC3 and LPCM streams. To enable the audio, tick Preview -> Playback Mode -> Real Time With Audio. In trace mode, the selected stream is the stream that you should hear with a real player. In the other modes, the default stream depends on the option selected in the Preview -> Default Audio Stream menu. PgcEdit tries to select the first AC3 or LPCM stream matching the audio language code and extension configured in the Trace menu > Setup > Virtual Player Setup, or it selects the first available AC3 or LPCM stream. A. The preview window has also a dropdown box to select the audio stream on the fly. In Trace mode, when the user changes the audio stream via the dropdown menu of the preview, SPRM(1) is updated accordingly. The dropdown menu is disabled when the Audio Stream Change PUO is set. In trace mode, the dropdown menu acts therefore now exactly like the audio selection menu of a real player. E. The preview can now be automatically paused between the cells. Therefore, the preview of a PGC now takes into account the cell still times and seamless flags. (The pause is limited to a maximum of 4 seconds.) E. In Burn DVD, the "Preview Cell" button has been replaced by "Preview LB" to mimic almost exactly what happens when the playback reaches the layer break position: the last seconds of the previous cells are shown, then a 2 secs pause, and finally the Layer Break cell, with audio whenever possible. E. The preview can now play only the VOBUs pertaining to a specific angle, but Preview Full Domain VOBs still shows all interleaved cells as before. When previewing a multi-angle PGC, the user must select which angle they want to see (or all interleaved angles like before) in a new dialog. In trace or single cell modes, the correct angle is selected automatically. Preview bug: Currently, the correct angle is lost when using the seekbar or the <<, < or >> buttons. The > and Cell-/+ buttons work as expected. F. With Automatic Preview ticked, the preview was opened when the user clicked with the middle or right button or double-clicked on the PGC Selector. F. The Preview is now closed when PgcEdit saves the DVD to avoid the "file in use/permission denied" bug. MAIN WINDOW E. It is no longer possible to launch an action when another action is still currently running (except when trace mode is running.) This should fix the problems of several actions being run at the same time, that caused some crashes due to incompatibilities. E. When copying and pasting commands from a menu domain to a title domain, the JumpSS commands are now converted automatically to CallSS, and vice-versa. When converting to CallSS, the resume cell parameter is always set to 1. A JumpSS to a VTSM menu is converted to CallSS only if its VTS parameter matches the VTS where it is pasted. A CallSS to the current VTSM menu can't be converted because the target VTS parameter of the JumpSS is undefined. F. Paste Replace: when there are many commands to paste and the total number of commands exceeds 128, PgcEdit aborts the paste operation, but it removed the original highlighted commands and turned off the Auto-Renumber option. E. Improvements in the Search box's right click menu. Added the Most Recently Used sub-menu, and the First Selected Command entry. F. Search window: Clicking on a command that was in a VTS, LU, PGC or Cell that has been removed since the search generated some end-of-table errors. E. Some cosmetics changes, including better messages in the status bar when backing up a menu VOB file, and some GUI improvements under Linux. E. When an error message is displayed in the status bar, it is now highlighted briefly in red. (Remember that you can see it in the log too.) E. When the user tries to use a function that requires a DVD to be loaded and a DVD has not yet been loaded, a message is displayed in the status bar. F. Problem with hotkeys not working any more should be fixed. TRACE E. The utilisation of the preview has been modified in trace mode: now, the cells of a PGC are played without closing the preview and it is possible to use the virtual player buttons in the main PgcEdit window to control the trace when the preview is running, just like with a real player. A. Trace mode: The current Title, PTT, Audio, Subpic and Angle display in the player panel are now real menus, to simulate the menus of a real player. It is therefore now possible to change the current Title, PTT or streams on the fly unless a PUO prohibits the use of the menu. The PTT menu is especially handy for skipping the preview of the majority of cells in a long Title. A. Trace mode: Added the option State -> "Mark played PGCs as ''" and "Clear all '' comments and highlights". The comments are permanent, and saved from session to session. Therefore, it is now possible to explore the DVD completely, and to find the PGCs that are called by some commands but never accessed in practice. E. Added a message when enabling the "Automatically start preview playback" option to explain how to close the preview window automatically after a user selectable delay in trace mode. F. Trace: The values assigned to the GPRM by a Set command after an underflow or overflow with the -, + and * operators, and after a division by 0 with / or % were wrong. A warning is now also added to the log in such cases. F. Trace mode: The Next and Prev chapter buttons did not work correctly when used in a menu domain. F. Trace mode: LinkPrevPG in the first PG of a PGC and LinkNextPG in the last PG caused an error. Now, LinkPrevPG reacts as LinkPrevPGC and LinkNextPG as LinkTailPGC, as they should. F. The PUO #17 "Button Select Or Activate" was ignored. Now, the user cannot select any button when that PUO is set. F. Trace mode: The trace breakpoints were not updated when the DVD structure was manipulated via Remap PGCs, Remap Titlesets, Delete Last PGC, Delete Last VTS, Remove Menu, Remove LU and Swap LUs. F. Trace mode: Fixed a bug occurring when the user does a resume by clicking on the Root or Title menu button of the player panel when the menu viewer was opened. F. Trace mode: When using "->> Next PB", the trace did not break after a RSM. F. When the default highlighted BOV (set in SPRM 8 or forced in the nav pack) was out of range, the trace stopped when playing the cell. Now, a warning is issued, the first BOV is highlighted, and the trace continues. F. Trace mode: When the first menu encountered during the trace is too short for the user to select a button, PgcEdit doesn't show the menu viewer, but previously the trace stopped and it was impossible to continue the trace. F. The focus was lost after opening the trace mode when the watch window was enabled. FUNCTIONS A. File -> Backups: The small ( <= 1MB) menu VOB files with buttons are now automatically copied as well in the backup folder when a backup is created. A. Added File -> Backups -> Add Menu Background Images To Backup, to add a PPM image of all cells with buttons or BOVs in the current backup folder. This way, it is possible to load the backup in PgcEdit, and see the menu backgrounds in the Menu Editor. A. Added File -> Backups -> Create ZIP Backup to create a ZIP file with the IFOs, menubuttons, small VOBs and user comments in the parent of VIDEO_TS. There is an option to add the menu backgrounds of all cells with buttons or BOVs as PPM images in the ZIP backup. The zip file can be burned with the DVD as an additional security. This function is available only in the standalone versions of PgcEdit. F. File -> Create backup: When a file cannot be copied to the backup folder, PgcEdit no longer tries to copy any more files, and aborts immediately. E. PgcEdit now scans the VOBs for BOVs after Import and Replace VTST Titles. F. Replace VTST Titles: the stream assignments are no longer copied from the original PGC. They are now always kept as they are in the imported IFO. F. Replace VTST Titles: the number of chapters was sometimes incorrectly updated in the VMG_TT_SRPT table when more than one title was imported. A. New Edit function "Dupe and Increment" to duplicate several commands at once and automatiucally adjust their parameters. Useful to create long lists of similar commands. A. Added DVD -> Clear Useless Set GPRM commands to convert the Set GPRM commands that set GPRMs that are never read to NOP or plain Link commands, and convert all SetGPRMMD in register mode commands to normal Set commands. A. Added DVD > Remove Useless Stuff to call Delete Unreferenced Cell Commands, Delete Uncalled TitleSets, Clear Useless Set GPRM Commands, Clear Jumps to Void PGCs and Delete Uncalled PGCs in one shot. A. Added DVD and PGC -> Delete Unreferenced Cell Commands to remove the cell commands not referenced in the cell table and reorder them. F. DVD -> Delete Uncalled PGCs deleted the uncalled PGCs and chapters of not-one_sequential PGCs, causing shifts in the chapters numbers. Now, if a chapter of a not-one_seq title is called, the whole title is kept. F. Domain -> Delete Last PGC of Domain: Added "Yes to this session" button to the confirmation and to the "Delete it in all LUs?" dialogues. E. Added the Camera/Film model in Domain Stream Attributes and Info > Streams. F. Domain Stream Attributes cosmetic bug: the 16:9 radiobutton was not ticked. E. PGC -> Kill PGC Playback now removes also the GoUpPGCN link. E. PGC -> Kill PGC Playback: When a menu PGC is converted to dummy, the post commands are copied in the pre-command area. They are now also removed from the post-commands area, as they are useless and confusing. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: It was not possible to reach a PGC of a not- one_sequential Title if the target PGC was not the entry PGC of the Title. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: It was not possible to reach a dummy PGC. F. Clone PGC: The Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links pointing to themselves were not updated in the new PGC. F. Bug in Menu > Select a Non-hidden Button/BOV by Default, when the PGC has several cells with buttons. F. Menu -> New Menu: The number of buttons of the menu was not initialised. E. Integrated the functions of the LU plugin in PgcEdit itself, in the Menu menu. The plugin is now useless and no longer supported. E. Copy LU Commands to Other LUs (previously in the LU plugin) has been improved to copy also the cell command numbers, the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links, the PUOs, the CLUT, the menu button commands, adjacent links, color scheme numbers and auto activate flags of the buttons, as well as the global menu options (number of numerically selectable buttons, default forced highlighted and activated button and delay.) Some of the parameters are copied only if the user accepts a dialog. As a consequence, the new function is now called Copy LU Commands And Params to Other LUs. E. Integrated the function of the Time Map plugin in PgcEdit itself, in the Title menu. The plugin is now useless and no longer supported. Also, DVD -> Rebuild All Time Maps of DVD has been moved in the Title menu. F. Rebuild Time Map: After a Discrepancy in VOBU End Presentation Time error, the VOB file was not closed if the user aborted the scan. E. It is now possible to hide the "Rebuild Time Map" dialog and answer Yes or No automatically during the current PgcEdit session. F. Title -> PTT (Chapter) Editor: When creating a new chapter, the new chapter number was wrong. A. Added Info -> Multiple sets of buttons/BOVs, to display the list of cells and PGCs containing multiple sets of buttons or BOVs. This info is also displayed automatically after a successful BOV scan when the DVD is loaded, if multiple sets of buttons or BOVs have been detected. E. Info -> Menu Button/BOVs commands: The number of buttons sets is now also displayed when there are several sets, and the number of numerically selectable buttons is also always displayed. E. Info -> PGC and Info -> DVD Commands: The Multiple Button Sets information has been added. (Info -> DVD Commands lists only the first sets.) F. The DVD is no longer considered as modified after Info -> Find Uncalled PGCs. A. Added Info -> Find Unreferrenced Cell Commands. A. Added Info -> Find Useless Set GPRM commands to display a list of the GPRMs that are set but never read, and to search for the Set, SetGPRMMD, CSetCLnk and CSetLnk commands that initialise them. E. Info -> GPRMs: The GPRM Info window doesn't searches the commands in the unreferenced VOB cells any more. A. Added Info -> SPRMs, similar to Info -> GPRMs, to see the SPRMs usage count and search for any SPRM easily. In addition, the Trace's SPRM break option can also be toggled by clicking on the first button. This dialog can also be opened from the command editor by right-clicking on any SPRM button. A. Added the hotkey Control+Shift+I to call Info -> GPRMs. E. Tools configuration: The argument "%l" is now substituted by the DVD label without any translation, and limited to 63 characters (UDF compatible.) "%l" can be used to pass the DVD label to ImgBurn. "%L" has been added and replaces the old option "%l". "%L" is substituted by the ISO9660 compatible label (max 32 alphanumeric upper case characters) E. When launching a tool with the "Save DVD before launching tool" option enabled and when the DVD was read from a read-only media, PgcEdit doesn't try to save the DVD any more. E. Tools -> FixVTS now verifies if the files to process are writable before launching FixVTS, as it crashes if it's not the case. (However, for a Title domain, only the first VOB is checked, and the BUPs are never checked.) F. It was not possible to launch FixVTS from PgcEdit on the VMGM. E. Added "Options -> Input/Output -> Select Explorer" to select an alternative file browser if you wish. (Under Windows only.) CMD EDITOR A. Added orange and yellow highlights in the cell command area and a warning in the status bar to show the unreferenced cell commands and cell command number errors. E. Since conditional NOP commands are not supported by some players, this is now considered as illegal and has been removed from the command editor. PGC EDITOR E. Pgc Editor, Cells list: The seamless checkbox is now highlighted in yellow when it is clear but the previous cell is contiguous. E. PGC Editor: Added "Paste in All PGCs" option in the popup menu of the Audio and Subpic VOB's Decoding Streams to modify all PGCs of the current domain in one shot. F. PGC Editor: The manual modifications in the cell table were lost after using Remove Cells, Create New Cell or Del Angles. E. Now, when a new cell is created, the menu buttons information is updated so that the modified VOB will not be scanned for buttons/BOVs the next time and the correct number of buttons is displayed in the PGC selector pane. F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: Cloning a cell by reusing an existing V/CID did not work in a dummy PGC. F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: PgcEdit tries now to set the Seamless Joint and the STC Discontinuity flags correctly, according to the previous cell. F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: When an existing cell is cloned, the cell still time and cell command number are not cloned any more. F. PGC Editor: After having used the PTT Editor to remove some chapters, the number of the new chapter created by Create New Cell was wrong. F. PGC Editor: The DVD was marked as modified after using Remove Cells or Del Angles, even if the changes were aborted. F. PGC Editor: End of Table bug when reassigning a V/CID after having removed some programs by deleting cells. E. Since FixVTS has some bugs and cannot be used successfully to remove the unreferenced angle cells after having used PgcEdit's Del Angle function, the messages associated with this function have been modified. VobBlanker works fine to remove all angles but one, and DVD Shrink can be used to compress the unreferenced interleaved cells with its "Still Image" method. MENU EDITOR AND VIEWER E. When the user tries to edit the BOVs of a title domain that has not been scanned for BOVs yet, the error dialog now offers to scan for BOVs now. F. Menu viewer and editor: It is no longer possible to use the arrow keys to move out of an Auto-Action button. F. Menu editor: Bug when selecting group 2 of a cell initially without button: Cell 1 was selected instead of the current cell. F. Menu editor: After creating a new cell in a menu initially without a non- dummy cell and without a VOB, it was impossible to use the menu editor during the same PgcEdit session. F. If a VTST has no subpic, but the user forces scanning for BOVs, when the the DVD was reloaded, that VTST was not read automatically from the .but file, and it was considered as still not scanned, preventing use of the menu editor. E. Added a warning when the user edits or pastes a menu button or BOV command without Jump, Call, Link, RSM or Exit in an animated cell with a single set of buttons. The command is also highlighted in yellow. E. Menu Editor: Removed the entry Hide Button -> Replace Command With NOP, as it doesn't work well in many cases. E. Removed the limitation of the number of numerically selectable buttons to 9 buttons, as some players can handle any button number. NEW SCRATCHBOOK FUNCTIONS A. Added a new "Scratchbook" menu. It is now possible to define as many scratchbook sections, and group the commands in those sections. It is also possible to append the currently selected commands directly to any section of the scratchbook, or to a new section. See the Help menu entry for more information. A. Added the possibility to load a scratchbook from the command line. You cannot load a scratchbook and a DVD from the command line at the same time. Type "PgcEdit /?" or "PgcEdit -h" to display the command line syntax. A. Under windows, the standalone PgcEdit executable has a new entry in the Options -> Install menu to associate the scratchbook files with PgcEdit. LINUX SPECIFIC F. The pwd problem under Linux when PgcEdit is started from a script is hopefully fixed. E. Thanks to the latest Wine, the DirectDraw overlays are now available for the preview under Linux. They are still off by default. TODO: Linux: There are still some important bugs or problems in Wine under some distributions (notably Ubuntu) preventing the preview running when it is launched from PgcEdit. I'm still investigating... 8.6 (January 12, 2008) A. DVD -> Clear Jumps to Void PGCs, to replace the pre/post/cell commands jumping to void PGCs by NOPs and to clear the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links to void PGCs. Handy to improve the efficiency of Delete Uncalled PGCs and to remove automatically all references to a PGC if you make it void before. E. PGC Editor -> Del Angles: Since it is possible to keep several angles with FixVTS or VobBlanker, it is now possible to leave several angles in place. Previously, it was necessary to delete all angles but one. E. PgcEditor -> Import CLUT: It is now possible to import the colors defined in Scenarist .SST files. The colors that are not defined are not modified. E. When deleting a PGC of a non-sequential Title and that deleted PGC is not a dummy and has chapters, the deleted chapters were always remapped to some remaining programs. Now, the chapters are completely deleted when they are the last chapters of the title. They are still remapped when they are necessary to fill gaps in the chapter table. E. Delete uncalled PGCs: Now, when a Title PGC cannot be deleted because the menu of the same VTS is still referenced, the commands of the orphan Title are changed to a CallSS to the FP-PGC. This way, useless commands pointing to nowhere are removed. E. Find Jumps to Void PGCs: Added a warning with the void entry menu PGCs that can be called with the remote. E. Info -> GPRMs: Added a "Refresh" button to recompute the usage counts. E. Suppressed the warning displayed when a DVD is read about wrong time map tables then the VTS_PTT_SRPT table doesn't exist at all. E. Added the following hot keys: - DVD -> Clear Jump to Void PGCs: Ctrl+Shift+J - DVD -> Delete Uncalled PGCs: Ctrl+Shift+U - Info -> Find Jumps to Nowhere: Ctrl+Shift+N E. Improved some error messages. E. When a DVD is loaded, PgcEdit checks now if the TTN number assigned to a title PGC is not 0, and if it is 0, it offers to assign the TTN 1 instead. E. When a DVD is loaded, PgcEdit checks now if all VOB files are referenced by the IFOs, and offer to remove the unreferenced VOB files. This solve also the issue of unnecessary VOBs left after a Restore Backup operation. F. The number of PTTs was not updated in VMG_TT_SRPT after the use of Title -> PTT (Chapter) Editor. F. PGC Editor: the number of PGs was sometimes wrongly incremented by 1. F. PGC Editor and Replace VTST Titles: When the number of programs of a PGC was modified in the PGC Editor and then, in the same PgcEdit session, that VTS was replaced by another one using the option to keep the data of the original PGC, the number of programs was wrong, and that caused the PGC Editor to crash. F. Trace: Bug when a button or BOV command did not include a jump elsewhere. F. Fixed a bug occurring when the PGC comments or GPRM labels have been modified, the DVD Text General Name contains a character illegal in a file name such as ":" and the option to automatically save the user comments in the backup folder was not enabled. F. Fixed a possible bug under Vista when Roxio and Macrovision Software Manager has been installed. The path to the Application Data folder was wrong. F. Fixed a possible bug with the length of the VTSI_MAT table when its end-byte pointer is (intentonally?) wrong. (Thanks Michael!) F. DVD-Text General Name: When creating a new VMG_TXTDT_MG table, an useless pointer was initialised. It is now set to 0. E. The standalone executable is now wrapped with freeWrap v6.3. PgcEdit should now start without problem under Ubuntu v7.10 Gusty. E. Added the possibility to specify the character encoding needed by some foreign systems with accented characters by defining the system environment variable PGCEDIT_ENCODING, or with the command line option /E=encoding or -e=encoding. Specify /? or -h to see a list of the available encodings. The default encoding is cp1252. 8.5 (September 24, 2007) A. "Info -> Jumps from current VTS to VMG" and "Jumps from all VTSs to VMG". A. Preview option "Real Time Playback". Enabling this option can be useful to slow the playback down on fast machines. E. Kill PGC Playback: Improved detection of the potentially dangerous cell commands. As a consequence, some warnings are not displayed any more in some circumstances, and it is more often possible to remove the PGC cells. E. Import Menu: When importing a VMGM menu to a VTSM menu, PgcEdit converts now the Title Menu type to Root Menu, and vice-versa. A warning is issued when a Subpic, Audio, Angle or Chapter menu is imported in the VMGM. E. The DVD is now saved automatically after Import VTST Titles, Replace VTST Titles, Delete Last Titleset, Import Menu and Remove Menu, to keep the IFO and the VOBs synchronised on disc. An incremental backup is also made automatically after Import VTST Titles and Delete Last Titleset. E. Menu Editor: Advanced options modified slightly to be able to specify the currently selected button as the button to be activated automatically. E. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: When the first cell is created in a menu domain, the user is now prompted for its aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9.) E. Modified PGC Editor -> Del Angles to be able to clear the "First ILVU End" values from cells when the angle flags and the interleaved allocation flag have been cleared manually. This makes possible to remove manually only some angle or interleaved cells in a PGC, and keep the other ones. F. PGC Editor: The coloured warnings and tooltips of the seamless joint flags were sometimes wrong in multi-angle PGCs. E. Command Editor and command disassembler: LinkNoLink requires a non-zero highlighted button. The editor doesn't allow entering a LinkNoLink command without a button any more, and the disassembly of the LinkNoLink commands generates now an error when the button is not defined. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs and Delete Uncalled VTSs: Fixed an important bug occurring when those functions were called after having used trace mode. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: The Chapter tables were not assigned to the right titles when a title has been deleted before another one in the same VTS. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: Fixed an error occurring when Delete Uncalled PGCs is invoked several times in the same PgcEdit session and needs to detete some PGCs in the same VTST domain each time. F. Trace mode: When playing a PGC in random or shuffle playback mode, the cells of the PGC were selected randomly instead of the programs. F. Trace mode: When a NextPGCN link was executed after playback of a PGC without post-command, the trace stopped with a Target Not Found error. F. Trace mode and highlighting of commands target: A LinkPGCN command in a title domain and jumping to another TTN was not considered as illegal. F. Trace mode, under Linux: The preview options "Close and Break Trace" and "Blank This Cell" were not working. PgcEdit_preview.exe v 2.6 has been modified to support those options under Linux. F. VOBU plugin: Fixed a bug in PgcEdit (introduced in v8.3) that prevented the selection of the start and end LBAs with the preview. F. Option "User Interface -> Play sounds with yes/no/cancel dialog boxes ?". It might be necessary to disable this option if PgcEdit hangs when displaying its dialogs on computers with dual core CPUs. F. Some little problems in Import and Export all Menu Buttons and BOVs when a titleset is deleted have been fixed. The useless information about the deleted VTS was still saved and loaded. F. Create ISO, under Linux: The file save dialog to select the output ISO filename was not working correctly. F. Set Menu Type: When using Set Menu Type to modify the position of a menu (such as the Root Menu) the Entry PGC flag was left on the original PGC. 8.4 (June 26, 2007) E. Important change in Tools menu configuration: %v is now substitued by the file name of the first VOB of the current domain (VIDEO_TS.VOB for VMGM or FP-PGC, VTS_##_0.VOB for VTSM if the file exists, and VTS_##_1.VOB for VTST.) Previously, %v was always substitued by the first VOB of the Title domain of the current VTS (VTS_##_1.VOB.) The new syntax is needed to launch DVDSubEdit from any domain, with the CLI argument: -F "%p\%v" E. The menubuttons.but file is now created in the backup folder only when some buttons or BOVs have been found in the DVD. F. Importand bug introduced in v8.3 fixed in the Command Editor: When editing en existing Set command, the link sub-command was sometimes forced to another link. For example Set ...; LinkPGCN 1 was forced to Set ...; RSM. F. A LinkNextPGC, LinkPrevPGC or LinkGoUpPGC command with its target PGCN being 0 was not considered as a jump to nowhere, and caused an error when using Find Jumps to Nowhere, Find Jumps to Void PGCs or Delete Uncalled. E. PgcEdit.exe for Windows is now wrapped with a patched freeWrap.exe so that its friendly name is "PgcEdit - IFO Editor" instead of "Tk DLL" and the version number of the executable is right. 8.3 (June 18, 2007) A. PGC Editor -> CellTimes.txt has now a new option to generate the timecodes in the format needed by CCE (HH:MM:SS:FF instead of HH:MM:SS.FF). A. Added two items in the Help menu to open online web pages on the Regular Expressions syntax. E. Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default: Better warning or info messages when some cells cannot be processed or do not need to be processed. F. When trace mode was used before Delete Uncalled PGCs or Delete Uncalled VTSs, the Trace failed with an error message when the DVD was reloaded. F. Trace: a LinkPTT command caused sometimes the trace to stop working. F. Remap Title Numbers and Remap VTSs (and all functions using internally those functions, like Delete Uncalled PGCs or VTSs) failed when a VMGM cell with a button command that jumps to a target that must be remapped was reused. The remapping was applied twice, and the target was wrong. F. Replace VTST Titles: The VMG_TT_SRPT table (global Title Play Map table) was not updated when the titles were replaced, except when there were more replacing Titles than in the original DVD. However, opening the PGC Editor for a replaced Title had the effect to force the update of the table. F. Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default: The Links to the first cell, PG or PTT with HL_BTN parameter were sometimes converted to GOTOs, instead of kept with a new HL_BTN number. F. Command Editor: When a Set command was selected, its optional Link command was LinkNoLink by default, even when this link command is illegal in the current domain or pre/post/cell area. Now, the first legal link command is selected by default. F. Command Editor: It was possible to enter 0 as the TTN parameter of the JumpSS-VTSM command, and the illegal command was not highlighted in pink. F. Commands listbox: Any valid Set command with a legal RSM sub-command was highlighted in red in the pre/post commands areas. F. When some IFO/BUP/VOB file names are not in upper case on a FAT32 disc, they were not renamed to upper case due to an incredible Windoze bug! F. The PGC comments of the PGCs deleted by functions like Delete Last PGC or Remove Menu were not cleared, and were reused if a new PGC was created at the same location. F. The temporary files needed by PgcEdit are now created with an unique filename to ensure that no conflict exists with another instance of PgcEdit, and are usually automatically deleted after use. F. Under Linux, Options -> Input/Output -> Select Web Borwser did not work because it expected a filename with the .EXE extension. Sorry Linux fans! 8.2.1 (May 26, 2007) F. Trace mode was broken when called from the Trace menu. 8.2 (May 26, 2007) A. Added "Menu -> Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default", a function to modify automatically the pre-commands of the current PGC with hidden menu buttons or BOVs to pre-select automatically a non-hidden button instead of the default hidden button. (In the menu editor, the adjacent button links of the hidden buttons have been improved also to be able to select a non- hidden button more easily with the cursor buttons of the remote.) E. If an IFO file cannot be opened or has not the right identifier, PgcEdit tries now to open the BUP file instead. E. When PgcEdit cannot load any menu button or BOV because the VOB files are missing or corrupt, and when a "menubuttons.but" file exists in the backup folder, in the VIDEO_TS or in the main DVD folder, PgcEdit offers now to load it automatically. E. When PgcEdit needs to write to a read-only file, it tries now (silently) to set the write permission to the file before writing. E. Menu viewer: Added < and > buttons next to the cells selector to easily select the previous or next cell without having to open the dropdown menu. (Those buttons are not available when the Preview -> Small Size option is ticked, and when there is only one cell in the PGC.) F. Kill PGC Playback: When the PGC has buttons or cell commands and GOTOs in the post commands area, the GOTOs were not renumbered correctly. F. Kill PGC Playback: When the cells with buttons were not removed because there are links in the pre-commands jumping inside the PGC, and when the PGC has been blanked, the button command was not executed. The button command is now added at the beginning of the post-commands area. F. Blank Out All Menu PGCs, with option to remove the VOB file: Now, if some cells cannot be removed due to links to cells inside the PGC, the cells are not removed, and the user can choose to blank them instead. F. Blank Out All PGCs (under Mac OSX): The command failed because the preview is not available under Mac. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: When a PGC with chapters was removed in the middle of a non-sequential title, the subsequent chapter numbers were wrong in the GUI. However, the chapter table saved on disc was correct. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs was unable to delete the last PGC of the unreferenced titlesets when the option "Allow PgcEdit to add automatic comments in the PGC labels" was not ticked. F. All remapping functions (and functions using them such as Delete Uncalled PGCs): The trace mode is now closed automatically before applying the changes, as continuing to trace the modified DVD can cause bugs. F. Most of the search for uncalled PGCs, jumps to nowhere and void PGCs functions were broken in v8.1 when there is a Next/Prev/GoUp PGCN link pointing to a non-existent PGC. F. Trace: When the trace mode was opened automatically at startup and a jump to an non-existent PGC was executed, the trace mode crashed. F. Trace: The menu viewer was not closed when the trace was reset by clicking on the Eject icon, and it was impossible to close it manually. F. The output of "Info -> Menu Buttons/BOVs Commands" was incomplete if there is a menu domain without cells in the DVD. F. Fixed a little bug in automatic blanking of cells, when the cell cannot be added to the VOB file by PgcEdit: the error message was not displayed. F. Fixed some problems when computing the true end address of the tables. F. Fixed a little bug in autoupdate code. The final version was considered lower than a beta! 8.1 (April 20, 2007) A. File -> Menu Buttons & BOVs -> Import/Export All Menu Buttons and BOVs. Can be used to save and restore all menu button and BOVs definitions of the current DVD. A "menubuttons.but" file is also automatically created in the backup folder each time a new backup is created. The BOVs are NOT saved if the VOB files are not automatically scanned at load time. This file is NOT restored automatically when the backup is restored. It is possible to load the buttons file even if the VOB files are not present in the DVD folder. Note: If you change the file type in the Import buttons dialog, you can also import a buttoninfo.txt file created by a well known program. However, as some important info is missing in this file, so DO NOT SAVE the buttons! A. Added Help -> Check For New Version and Options -> Startup -> Check For New Version At Startup? to automatically check if a new PgcEdit version is available and to download it automatically (and, under Windows only, to install it automatically.) A. Added DVD -> Delete Uncalled TitleSets. This function is a lot faster than Delete Uncalled PGCs, but less efficient. Use it before Delete Uncalled PGCs when there are many uncalled Titlesets in the DVD. A. Added Title -> PTT (Chapter) Editor, a new editor suitable to edit the chapters of not-one_sequential Titles (with chapters in several PGCs belonging to the same TTN.) The old editor is still available via the PGC editor, but cannot be used on not-one_sequential Titles any more. A. Added Info -> Jumps from VMG to all VTSs. Basically, this new function is identical to Jumps from VMG to current VTS, but is handy to find all jumps to all VTSs, and to locate the VTS that are called only once. A. Added Info -> Find jumps to void PGCs. A PGC is considered void when it has no commands (or only NOPs), no buttons, and no NextPGC link (or when it is out of range.) When a void PGC is played, the navigation stops. A. Added a check when loading the DVD to be sure that at least one Title is defined per TTN, and to create a new Title in VMG_TT_SRPT if necessary. E. When a DVD is opened, PgcEdit now checks if the IFO, BUP and VOB filenames are in upper case, and offers to rename them if necessary. E. The menu of the command editor is now context dependent. The illegal commands for the current domain and current pre/post/cell/button/BOV area are now greyed out. The last menu contains now only the valid jump commands for the current context, and has been renamed to "Jump to...". E. The illegal commands for the current domain and pre/post/cell/button/BOV area are now highlighted in pink in the main listbox and in the menu button viewer and editor. (The jumps to a non-existing PGC and the invalid GOTOs are now highlighted in orange instead of pink.) E. In the PGC Editor, the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links are now also highlighted in pink when they point to another TTN. E. Replaced the default system Yes/No/OK/Cancel dialogs by custom dialogs. This is needed primarily as a workaround for a display problem under Vista, but the new method has several advantages. The user can now hide selectively some dialogs. As a consequence, the Expert Mode option has been removed, and is now replaced by two new options in Options -> User Interface: Display Hidden Dialog Boxes During Current Session? and Restore All Hidden Dialog Boxes. "Open yes/no/cancel dialog boxes under the mouse pointer?" allows you to open those new dialogs with the default button under the mouse pointer. The content of the dialog can be copied to the clipboard via a right-click context menu. E. Save IFOs as: Now, the user can chose to compute the VTS sector pointers using the VOB files from the source folder rather than producing wrong pointers because there are no VOBs in the target folder. E. PsKill.exe is no longer necessary for Win9X users to abort the creation of the ISO image during the burn process. PsKill has now been replaced by the kill command of the TclX package. The (erroneous) warning about "potentially unwanted program" displayed by some picky antivirus should not occur any more. E. Added shortcut key CTRL-Q on Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS. F. Kill PGC Playback: Some cell or button commands copied in pre-commands area were illegal in that area. They are now replaced by a legal suite of several commands. F. Some uncalled PGCs were not found by Find Uncalled PGCs and not deleted by Delete Uncalled PGCs. F. Clone PGC: When cloning a Title PGC and NOT creating a new Title number, the TTN number of the new PGC was increased, and the one_sequential flag was not set in VMG_TT_SRPT. F. Fixed some rounding errors in Rebuild Time Map on long NTSC Titles. Too many entries were created in the table. F. Fixed a little problem in Rebuild Time Map. The time map was not rebuild for PGCs shorter than 1 second. Now, the time map is rebuilt anyway, but is empty if the PGC is really shorter than 1 second. F. Rebuild Time Maps: Added a check for discrepancies in the SCR time stamps (sometimes caused by VobBlanker when a single cell is replaced by several cells with different VOB IDs.) F. Trace: The Break command in post-commands area was not handled correctly. F. Little bug fixed in Trace mode: SPRM(4:Title in volume) was not modified when a not-one_sequential Title was entered via a non-entry PGC. F. Little PGC comments bug fixed: The quotes of the PGC comment were not removed when a comment was erased from the PGC Editor window. 8.0 (January 23, 2007) E. Cell Table: The misleading "Layer Break ?" flag has been replaced by the more standard "Seamless Joint" flag. It's now a direct shortcut to the Seamless Joint flag in the cell type editor. Its value is the inverse of the old flag. Therefore, now, the new Seamless flag should theoretically be CLEAR at the LB position and always clear on the first cell of the PGC. A. New function Domain -> Remap PGCs in domain, to reorder the PGCs of the current domain. The VM commands and the Next/Prev/GoUpPGCN links are automatically renumbered to preserve the navigation. You can preview the PGCs from within the GUI. Removed Menu -> Swap or Copy Menu PGC, since this function is now useless. A. New function Title -> Re-order TTNs in domain, to renumber the TTNs of the current domain in increasing order. The VM commands are renumbered to preserve the navigation. This function might be needed to be able to delete the last PGC with Domain -> Delete last PGC in domain. A. New function DVD -> Delete uncalled PGCs, to delete automatically (almost) all useless PGCs in the DVD. The navigation is preserved. Note: Since this function is potentially dangerous, use it with care! A. Added the User's PGC Comment field in the PGC editor, to easily type it. A. Pgc Editor -> Remove Cells: New "Shorten the chapter table if needed" option, to silently remove the chapters at the end of the chapter table when they are not assigned to an existing program any more after the operation. Use this option with care! A. PgcEditor -> CellTimes.txt: It is now also possible to save the celltimes file in Womble MPEG Video Wizard .MLS format. A .MBS file can also be generated when necessary (when there are several VOB files in the domain.) A. Removed Info -> Find Unused GPRMs and added Info -> GPRMs to open the new GPRM Labels Editor and to list the usage count of all GPRMs. The labels are displayed in the VM commands and the Command Editor exactly like for the SPRMs. The GPRM fields in the Command Editor are now replaced by a dropdown menu button. Right-clicking on a GPRM menu button calls also the GPRM Labels Editor. In Trace mode, added also Watch -> GPRM Labels. Clicking on a GPRM label in the Watch window calls also the Labels Editor. The GPRM labels are saved in the backup folder, with the User Comments, when the DVD is saved. The menus File -> "Import/Export/Clear user's PGC comments" has been moved to the "Comments and Labels" sub-menu. A. Added File -> Recent DVDs submenu, with up to 25 entries. The invalid paths are removed from the list each time PgcEdit is started. A. Added View -> Show Log and View -> Clear Log. Currently, only the Load DVD operation is logged, to help discover the origin of a problem when loading a DVD. All status bar messages are also logged. Clear Log clears the internal log buffer, but doesn't modify the contents of the Log viewer window. Opening or reopening a DVD clears also the log. Note: Double-clicking on the status bar opens also the log window. A. Added the keyboard shortcut Control+A to call Domain Streams Attributes. A. Trace: Added Log -> Log Filter -> PUOs Details to log each PUO separately. E. Trace Watch Window: it is now possible to close any sub-window from the watch window, and to toggle the SPRM labels and the (new) GPRM labels. New Watch -> All menu to enable all sub-windows and labels at once. E. DVD -> Remap Titlesets and Title -> Remap Title Numbers: Added a preview, available also in the new Domain -> Remap PGCs in domain function. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert has been enhanced so that the target title and the resume target are no more blocked when they are entered directly from the exit domain with the player function to call a Title by its number. E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: Also, the original VM commands are completely removed from the First-Play PGC whenever possible, to leave a chance to delete the skipped PGCs with the new Delete Uncalled PGCs function. E. Kill PGC Playback on a menu with buttons (or BOVs) but with a non-infinite still time: added a "No Button!" button to kill playback without selecting a menu button to be simulated, to continue the navigation normally at the end of the playback. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION ON A LOOPING MENU, or you will probably create an endless loop! E: Kill PGC Playback improved to avoid infinite loop in some circumstances. E. Menu button viewer: When the user clicks on the big button to edit the command and the commands are identical in all groups (or there is only one group), the user is not prompted any more to modify the command in all groups. It is still possible to edit the commands independently when the original commands are different in each group, or with the menu editor. E. Improved warning messages when there are several set of buttons in a menu. E. The File menu, too big, has been reorganised with new sub-menus. A. Added File -> Backups -> Undo last Incremental Backup to automatically return one step back in the backups. In some cases, you MUST use this function instead of restoring the files manually, or your DVD might be totally messed up. This function checks also for FixVTS and VobBlanker backups, and offer to restore them manually. Shortcut: Control+Alt+N The shortcut for New Incremental Backup has been modified: Control+N E. Restore Backup (and Restore Last Incremental Backup): The VOB files in the backup folder can now be copied or moved back automatically. E. Tools -> FixVTS: the FixVTSBackup folder is now renamed automatically when FixVTS is launched from the Tools menu, so that the new Undo Incremental Backup function works as expected when FixVTS has been used several times. E. Save DVD: When there are modified buttons or BOVs, the confirmation dialog is no longer displayed. The buttons or BOVs are saved anyway. E. Title Play Map table: The user can now modify the Not-One_Sequential_Title flags. Added also a button to compute automatically those flags, based on the characteristics of the titles (random, shuffle, more than one PGC...) E. Not-one_sequential_title flag in VMG_TT_SRPT: Added checks in several functions to be sure that this flag does not need to be modified. Now, the not-one_sequential flag is modified automatically (or in some cases after a confirmation of the user) to match the Title characteristics. The affected functions are Edit PGC, Rebuild Time Map, Delete last PGC in Domain, etc... Thanks to Jsoto for the idea! E. After deleting or blanking a PGC, the streams attributes of the domain are now checked, and the user is prompted to fix them if some streams are no longer needed. E. Added Copy/Paste buttons in Domain Stream Attributes -> Audio type dialog. E. Added error messages in the status bar when the user types illegal characters in an ISO639 Language Code field. E. When the option to start PgcEdit in trace mode was on, the plugins were initialised only after the trace mode was closed by the user. Now, the plugins are loaded and initialised before the trace mode is started. E. Improved method to load severely damaged IFO files. (Silent Hill zone 2) E. Find BOVs has now a new option to do a deep scan (every 1 VOBU) when at least one BOV has been found during the first pass and the number of VOBUs to skip is greater than 1. When this option is on, it is now almost impossible to miss a BOV, even if the number of VOBUs to skip is high. E. Info -> Menu Button Commands: Added the BOVs as well in the output. VOB cells without buttons or BOVs are not listed any more. E. Info -> PGC (in title domain), and PCG Params and Cell Tables: Added the number of BOVs per cell in the output. E. Miscellaneous little GUI enhancements. For example, it is now possible to switch the focus back and forth between the PGC selector pane and the cmd editor pane with the cursor left and right keys. E. Uses Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 and freeWrap 6.2 for the wrapped version. F. Open DVD: Crash occurring when a VTS without VTS_C_ADT table was read. F. The Title number of a multi-pgc Title was not assigned to the right PGC when the entry PGC is not the first PGC of the TTN. (Very rare situation.) F. The target PGC of the SetNVTMR command was ignored by the function to find the target of a command. F. Fixed some video standard and frame rate mismatches when creating a new VMGM or VTSM menu or the FP-PGC. F. Set DVD-Text General Name: Bug when there are more than 30 characters in the label and the VMG_TXTDT_MG table was not defined in the original DVD. This bug caused ImgBurn to ignore the label. F. Trace: The PUOs Watch window was not refreshed after a Restore State. F. Jump to Calling Command and Find Jumps to Nowhere GUI: The Refresh button did not work. 7.4 (September 17, 2006) A. New function Info -> Find Never-Called PGCs, to mark the PGCs and VTSs that are never called explicitly (without having to clear the VM commands and Prev/Next/GoUp PGCNs). A. New function Trace menu -> State -> Restart Playback from Exit Domain, to begin the playback at Title 1 instead of at the First-Play PGC. A. New Option -> Functions -> DVD-TEXT General Name to set the max length of the Volume General Name string, since the number of characters that can be displayed on screen is player dependent. A. Added "%t" and "%l" substitutions in the command line string of the Tools Setup dialog to be able to pass the DVD-Text General Name (%t) and the default DVD label of the burn function (%l) as arguments. Calling ImgBurn with the volume label already in place is now possible with the arguments: /MODE ISOBUILD /BUILDMODE DEVICE /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF" /SRC "%d" /VOLUMELABEL "%l" /NOIMAGEDETAILS /ERASE /VERIFY /IBG "C:\%l.ibg" E. When a PGC or a cell is never called directly by a VM command or by a Prev Next or GoUpPGCN link, it was previously considered as unreferenced, even if it was referenced in some IFO tables. Now, in this situation, the word "unreferenced" has been replaced by "never-called" to avoid the confusion with true unreferenced cells (which are never referenced in the IFOs.) E. Rebuild Time Map functions: the cell times and the PGC playback time are now updated also in the VTS_PGCITI table. Therefore, after using this function, the times shown in the PGC Editor should be accurate. E. Create New Cell and Reassign VOB/Cell ID: New option to rebuild the time map tables. It is now possible to skip the Time Map creation. Useful to speed up things when using those function several times. E. The error message "Can't create backup" is not displayed any more when the DVD is loaded from the DVD drive, and is therefore read-only. E. Improved Read DVD functions, to cope with some severe authoring errors. E. Added a note in the Check DVD-R Size dialog to warn the user that this function ignores the DVD-ROM files in the computation of the DVD size. E. The position and size of the PGC Editor window is nor remembered from session to session, and the window is not resized any more when the cells list is refreshed. F. Trace mode: SPRM 20 (Player region code) was wrongly initialised with the region code value of VMGM_MAT instead of a bitwise XOR of this value. F. Trace mode: In case of arithmetic overflow in Set operations, the result was rounded to 0 or 0xFFFF. Now, the right value, not rounded, is used. F. PGC Editor -> remap VOB/Cell ID did not work on a menu PGC if the VOB file was not successfully scanned for menu buttons when the DVD was opened, for example because the menu VOB file was not present or was CSS encrypted. Similarly, Remove Cell did not update the PGC playback time. F. When a menu PGC was killed and the video removed, the audio and subpic attributes were not cleared in the PGC. F. Kill playback: a warning was sometimes issued when it was not needed. F. Little bug fixed when PgcEdit was called with an invalid path as CLI arg. 7.3 (June 26, 2006) F. During the trace, when a menu was displayed, hitting the Prev, Next or GoUp button on the virtual remote had no effect. F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell -> Create New Blank VOB Cell did not create a new cell if a tiny black cell previously created by PgcEdit was already present at the end of the VOB file. Instead, the tiny cell was reused. F. When using Create New Cell -> Use existing VOB/Cell ID, the cell ID number was always 1. F. When using Create New Cell on a non-sequential Title PGC (with several PGCs in the same TTN) and the option to create a new chapter, the new chapter number was wrong. F. When using New Dummy PGC on a Title PGC, the modified Title was not marked as non-sequential in the VMG_TT_SRPT table. F. When using Delete Last PGC in the Title domain to delete the penultimate PGC of a non-sequential Title (played sequentially), the Title was not marked as sequential in VMG_TT_SRPT. Its time map is now also recomputed when the DVD is saved. 7.2 (June 15, 2006) E. When the VMGM_VOBU_ADMAP table is present but has 0 entries, the table is now completely removed when the DVD is loaded. Previously, only the empty VMGM_C_ADT, VTSM_C_ADT and VTSM_VOBU_ADMAP tables were removed. F. Burn DL DVD: When the new advanced option "Modify IFOs only" is ticked and PgcEdit cannot find a suitable cell for the layer break, the GUI was not updated correctly, and it was impossible to close the Burn window. F. The highlight target feature and the Find Jumps to Nowhere function were unable to mark a JumpTT to an nonexistent title as invalid. F. It was possible to save the DVD or quit PgcEdit when a save operation was already in progress. Now, only File -> Kill can be used during the save. F. PGC Editor: Remap Vob/Cell ID when using the Create New Cell option was broken in v7.1. F. The dynamic version of the PgcEdit_preview executable was distributed with v7.x. To work correctly under Linux, the static version is needed. 7.1.2 (June 2, 2006) F. The Kill Playback function was broken. F. Burn DVD: The Creation of the ISO was broken on some systems. 7.1 (June 2, 2006) A. Burn DVD: New "Seamless Layer Break" option in the Layer Break selection dialogue, allowing to set the seamless flag of the LB cell. Theoretically, the Seamless flag must be clear, but it appear that it is possible to set it in most circumstances. However, this method can be incompatible with some old players, but is used on some commercial DVDs (among others, Sony Superbit DVDs.) A pink warning is displayed in the risky cases. Technical info: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=819669#post819669 A. Burn DVD: New option (under Linux and MacOSX only) in the layer break dialogue to modify the IFO files only, without creating the ISO image. This option can be used to burn the DVD files directly with growisofs. A. New function to recompute the VTS_TMAPTI table (Time Map) of the current Title PGC, or all time maps of the current title domain or of the DVD. This function is called automatically when a time map needs to be modified but can also be called on demand via the "DVD" and "Title" menus to fix bad time maps, or to build the time maps of non-sequential titles. E. Kill Playback: The first cell command that is normally executed is now included in the pre-commands to minimize the risk of navigation errors (but only if this command is useful and legal in the pre-commands.) E. PGC Editor's cell list: When a cell command is defined and the seamless joint flag of the next cell is set, the "Layer Break?" checkbox is now highlighted in pink, to warn the user that the cell command is executed only when this seamless flag is clear (ie, layer break checkbox ticked.) E. When a titleset is present on disc but not referenced at all in the IFOs, it is now possible to move it automatically to a special backup folder. Previously, the user had to do it manually. E. Improved the VOB desynchronised error check to identify the tiny black cell added by PgcEdit at the end of the VOB files but not referenced in the IFOs. (This situation can happen when the IFOs are not saved by the user after the creation of a new cell.) It is now possible to reuse this cell with the PGC Editor functions "Create new cell" and "Reassign VOB/ Cell ID" with the option to create a new blank VOB cell. Previously, a VOB Desynchronised error message was issued. E. Burn DVD: The Shutdown Computer option is not remembered any more from session to session. That was too dangreous. F. After an Import VTST Title, Import FP Clip or Import Title intro/closing clip, the number of BOVs were not initialised correctly, which caused some other functions (notably Clone PGC) to crash. F. Clone PGC function did not update the TTN internal variables correctly. F. Trace: A warning is now issued if a cell command exists, but the cell that follow the current cell has its Seamless flag set. The cell command cannot be executed in this case. F. Blank Out all Title PGCs: The cells table was wrong when this function was applied to a Title domain without VOB files present on HDD. F. Replace VTST Titles: The streams attributes of the current menu domain were copied from the imported IFO. Now, the table is left untouched. F. Remove cell in PGC Editor: When removing the last Program, the PG number was kept in the table, and forced to 0. Now, it is correctly removed. F. Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS: Some menu buttons or BOV commands were wrongly included in the output. F. Fixed a bug occurring in very rare circumstances: The number of BOVs of the PGC was sometimes wrong after a delete cell from the PGC Editor. F. Tools configuration didn't work if FixVTS was not used before calling it. F. When a titleset was removed or imported, the parental management table VMG_PTL_MAIT was not updated. F. Some minor GUI bugs fixed. F. The Download Daemon Tools link was dead. Changed to current one. W. Workaround for a little bug in the faster mkisofs.exe program provided with PgcEdit. This exe doesn't set the error level like the original one, and therefore PgcEdit was unable to discover if it has failed. 7.0 (April 22, 2006) - Version number bumped up to 7.0. I'm tired of this leading "0."! 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 called and to reroute the jumps 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 never-called if all titles of the same VTS are never-called, 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 any more, 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.) 0.6.3.1 (January 29, 2006) 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. 0.6.3 (January 28, 2006) 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 management, the user is now prompted to remove the parental management of the original DVD, and when importing a menu, it is prompted to clear the parental management 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. 0.6.2 (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 any more, 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. 0.6.1 (October 4, 2005) 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. New function "File -> Replace VTST Titles" to replace the current VTST domain by an imported one. Can be used to replace a VTST domain after a reencoding or a shrink of a title with DVDShrink in reauthor mode. 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, - Control-Alt-B: Restore Backup and one shortcut available only when the command pane is active: - Control-Insert: Append to Scratchbook A. Added "Display PGCs list as text" function in the Info menu. A. Added a progress bar in the status bar. A. Menu buttons viewer: It is now possible to right-click on the Image < and Image > buttons to display the prev/next background by larger steps. A. New function "DVD -> Remap Titlesets" to rearrange the order of the Titlesets. This function renumbers the JumpSS-VTSM commands automatically. 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 greyed 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. Renumber GOTOs option: The GOTO commands duplicated or copied/pasted to the clipboard are now also automatically renumbered. E. The GUI of the Remap Title Numbers function has been enhanced. 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. New 'Play All' Title bug: In trace mode, JumpVTS_TT to the new TTN was unable to find the target PGC. F. A bug prevented 'Create New Blank Cell' 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. PgcEditPreview v2.1 by Jeanl (Fixes 2 bugs. See history below.) 0.6.0 (July 7, 2005) 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 never called from the VMG! 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. A. Added the first step to implement plugins for PgcEdit in the future. A. Added an option to change the default listbox background color to white when running PgcEdit under X11. (Linux, and MacOSX with Tk-X11 only) E. After 'Clone PGC' or 'New Play All Title', the number of buttons of the new PGC is now displayed in the PGC Selector. 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 occurrences 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 highlight the target of a Jump command when the target VTS was not present. F. It was sometimes impossible to close the "Go to calling command" window. F. PgcEditPreview Version 2.0, by jeanl. Fixes 3 bugs. See history below. 0.5.7 (June 4, 2005) 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: "/doc/PgcEdit_manual.chm" (under Windows only) then, if the file is not found, "/doc/PgcEdit_manual.htm", then "/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. Added tooltips on the edit buttons with the keyboard shortcuts. E. Added tooltips in PGC Editor's color table to show the color number. E. Added some tooltips on the labels of the cell list in the PGC Editor. E. Added the Control-Delete shortcut to call the Blank Out All PGCs utility. 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 any more 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. Some display problems fixed under Mac (X11 and Aqua versions.) F. Error when blanking a titleset when the preview window is open fixed. F. "Save IFOs as" saved the modified VOBs also (in the original folder). F. When the option "Store backup folder in parent of VIDEO_TS folder" is ON, the backup folder is saved now in the parent only if the DVD files are in a VIDEO_TS subdirectory. F. Trace: LinkTopCell in a menu button linked to the previous cell. Fixed. F. Fixed a rare bug when reading the menu buttons information. F. Fixed some english grammar/vocabulary errors. 0.5.6.1 (May 12, 2005) F. mfc42.dll was missing from the Linux binary distribution. Fixed. (Nothing changed for Windows users) 0.5.6 (May 11, 2005) 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 occurrences in a window. You may click on the buttons to jump to any occurrence. 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. A wrong path was used to store the configuration files on some Win XP foreign systems. Fixed. 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. 0.5.5 (April 22, 2005) A. 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. A. 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 very useful, this option is available also under Windows. F. Fixed a bug in v0.5.4, which caused the display of 16:9 letterboxed menus in the menu viewer to fail. F. When saving menu buttons, if you answered NO at the "Backup VOB?" request, PgcEdit offered to backup the VOB again and again. Fixed. 0.5.4 (April 21, 2005) E. New PgcEdit_preview v1.7: with option to turn off the usage of DirectDraw overlays to show the preview, and an option to save the menu backgrounds as PPM instead of BMP (internal use only!) E. Added "Preview -> Disable DirectDraw Overlays" (Windows only) option. On some systems, it may be faster to turn off the DirectDraw overlay display. E. Shift-clicking on the "BMP" button in the preview window allow to save an image in PPM format. F. Import First-Play/Intro/Closing Clip macros were broken in 0.5.3. Fixed. 0.5.3 (April 20, 2005) A. Added an option in Info -> Calls Cross References do delete the commands in the never-called PGCs, and to clear the Prev/Next/GoUpPGC links. May be used to find more never-called PGCs in subsequent calls to the Calls Cross References function. Also, another option allow to convert never- called menu PGCs to dummies, to easily blank them with VobBlanker. A. Added "Delete All Commands" in the Edit (and popup) menu. F. Important bug in v0.5.2 fixed: new buttons created in a cell originally without buttons/BOVs were saved only in the first nav pack of the cell. F. PgcEdit was unable to parse the VTSM_C_ADT table if the table was present, but with no entries defined in the table. Fixed now. F. Fixed a bug in the parsing of the VTS_C_ADT table, occuring in rare circumstances: a wrong Nav Pack number was read, causing the search for menu buttons or BOVs to fail. F. Inport First-Play/Intro/Closing Clip: The cell commands numbers of the imported title are now forced to 0 in the cell playback table. F. Added a little delay when the Open DVD/Save DVD file requester is closed, to avoid a little Tk bug. 0.5.2 (April 16, 2005) A. Added a Configuration option in the virtual player setup to load the PGN (Program number) instead of the PTTN (Chapter number) in SPRM 7. Many software and hardware players are not standard compliant on this point. A. Added Export and Import options to save and load the color lookup table of the current PGC in the PGC Editor. File format: raw YCrCb color table (64 bytes, with leading 0 before each color) or RGB colors in ASCII format. The import function can also import the colors from a Muxman project, or from a VTS IFO file (the colormap of the first PGC is used). A. Added an option to display the popup menus when the right mouse button is released instead of pushed. This option is not recommended, though. A. Added an option to store the PgcEdit_backup in the root folder of the DVD instead of in the VIDEO_TS folder. Useful to launch programs that doesn't work if there are illegal files in VIDEO_TS (like WinDVD). A. Added File->Incremental Backup. Renames the current PgcEdit_backup folder (adds the modification time and date), and creates a new PgcEdit_backup. A. A warning is issued when entering the menu buttons viewer if several sets of menu buttons are found in a cell. Currently, PgcEdit handles only the first set. A new option to optionally scan for multiple sets of BOVs has also been added in the 'Scan for BOVs' dialog, and the scanning for sets of buttons is optimized for speed. E. Multiple errors messages when parsing the VOBs for menu buttons are now suppressed. Take care: one error message means that the whole VOB is not correctly parsed! E. When saving buttons or BOVs, the original highlight status is left unchanged so that the animated highlights (for example, in Spiderman) will now still be animated. E. File->Delete Backup(s) is able to delete the backups created by PgcEdit, VobBlanker, MenuShrink and Windows (Copy of ...), including incremental backups. TitleSetBlanker backups are not supported any more. E. Burn DVD: Excludes the backups PgcEdit_backup*, VobBlanker_backup*, MenuShrinkBackup* and "Copy of *" from the compilation. E. Better error trapping for file I/O errors (copy, delete, rename, makedir). Now, a dialog pops up, allowing to retry the operation. E. Thanks to the demo version of the Tcl DevKit, the code is now a little bit optimized, and a couple of potential bugs have been fixed. F. The last VTS's title domain BOVs were never saved. Fixed. F. "Can't read "::buttons::butsinfo(*,hlendtime)": no such element in array" (and selendtime) errors when a new button was created are now fixed. F. The total number of menu buttons or BOVs displayed in the PGC selector label was not updated after a Remove Cell. Fixed. F. Trace: When in a button command, LinkNextCell linked to the current cell, and LinkPrevCell linked to the current cell -2. Fixed. F. Fixed a little bug in the "Options/Install/Associate PgcEdit with IFO (or BUP) Files", when the association was already present, but was blank. F. Problem deleting the DLLs in the bin directory when uninstalling PgcEdit is now partially fixed. You will need to delete them manually. 0.5.1 (March 28, 2005) A. Menu Buttons/BOVs Editor. E. When a DVD is opened, the Trace mode is now automatically resetted (same as pressing the Insert DVD button in the trace window). However, the breakpoints are not lost (except the PGC breakpoints when opening a new DVD from another folder). F. Wrong display aspect ratio was used in the menu buttons viewer for group types sharing modes "normal" + "letterbox". F. Fixed wrong highlighted target/jump to target in menu domains: the target was always in LU 1. F. Moved the stream's VOB IDs from the Domain Streams Attributes to the PGC Streams assignments GUI, where they should be. The streans IDs are now hopefully corrects. F. Linux standalone executables 0.5.0beta1 to 0.5.1beta1 were broken. The sources were OK. V 0.5.1beta2 is the first working 0.5 standalone exe. F. Fixed a bug in 'Delete last PGC in domain' in title domain. The new total number of TTNs was wrong when a PGC sharing the same TTN number with another one was deleted. F. Small bug fixed that prevented to "Delete Last PGC in Domain" if the PGC was created with "New Dummy PGC" during the same PgcEdit session. F. Fixed a little bug in Utilities -> Enable Navigation Buttons. When the First Play-PGC was selected, applying the function to the current domain (which doesn't make sense) caused an error. 0.5.0 (March 4, 2005) A. BOV (Buttons Over Video in Title domains) support: - Replaced the executable button_dump.exe by a Tcl/Tk function, able to parse the menu buttons in menu domains. The menu buttons informations are therefore available also for Macintosh pre-OSX platforms. - Added "File->Find BOVs" and "Options->Automatically Launch BOV finder when a DVD is opened?" to find the BOVs at startup. - "Utilities -> Show Menu Buttons or BOVs" works now also for Title PGCs. - Added "Show BOVs" popup menu in the PGC selector on title PGCs. R. Removed the "Options/Show libdvdread warnings when parsing menu buttons?". A. "Fix number of streams in VMGM/VTSI_MAT tables" macro to change the number of streams in the VMGM_MAT and VTSM_MAT tables according to the number of streams enabled in the PGCs. A. Domain Streams Attributes check now if the current number of streams match the number of streams enabled in the PGCs. A. Domain Streams Attributes allow now to edit the audio stream types and parameters. (Still no support to edit the karaoke parameters.) A. Open DVD: If there are empty VOB files, an option to delete them is now presented to the user when the DVD is loaded. A. Added a Burn DVD/Create ISO toolbar icon. (Windows only) A. Added some missing credits and thanks in the About dialog. E. Kill Playback macro: New algorithm to determine if it is safe to use the macro. It is safe to kill playback if there are no menu buttons, and if there are no cell commands jumping outside of the current PGC. E. Blank Out PGCs in Domain: The "Kill Playback only when it's safe" option now uses the new Kill Playback macro. E. Cell type flag SCR Discontinuity (System Clock Reference) renamed to STC Discontinuity (System Time Clock). (Recommandation of Mpucoder) E. Burn DVD: The MenuShrinkBackup is now removed automatically from the DVD. E. Added the audio and subpic stream IDs in Domain Streams Attributes GUI and in Info -> Streams. F. PgcEdit_Preview.exe v1.6 by Jeanl. Fixes an aspect ratio bug with VCD and SVCD resolutions, and another one with garbage addeded in the bottom of the image when the vertical resolutions was not a multiple of 32. F. When a cell is reassigned or blanked, the Seamless Joint flag is now cleared. F. Trace mode: The target of LinkPTT commands was wrong (was pre-commands of the PGC instead of target chapter.) F. Trace mode: A NOP command in a menu button or BOV is now ignored. F. Highlight Target/Jump to Target did not work in some cases with CallSS. F. Menu buttons viewer bug: After selecting another frame with the < and > buttons, the background image was not displayed for VMGM menus. F. Fixed a bug with the Video Attributes display. The resolution, bitrates and 'top & bottom cropped' flags were wrong. The saved attributes were OK, though. F. Fixed a bug when writing a PTT_SRPTI table containing PTTs assigned to program 0. Yes, I've seen a DVD with such bizarre things! F. Fixed a bug occurnig after a Delete Program. The program map table was not padded to an even number of bytes. F. Misc. little bug fixes. 0.4.9.1 (January 30, 2005) F. Fixed a bug in the new "DVDShrink Streams Remapping" macro. 0.4.9 (January 30, 2005) A. Added the "DVDShrink Streams Remapping" macro to check if the DVDShrink option "Logical remapping of enabled streams" may be safely used in full disc mode with the current DVD. E. Added a button "ISO639 language codes" in the Trace's Virtual Player Setup GUI to show the valid language codes. E. The PGC breakpoints are now cleared when a new DVD is loaded, but still not when the same DVD is reloaded (including after a restore backup). E. Burn DVD: Added an option to mount the ISO image using Daemon-Tools. E. Burn DVD: Added a confirmation dialog if the ISO image already exists. E. Burn DVD: The VobBlanker_backup folder is now automatically excluded of the ISO image, like the PgcEdit_backup folder. E. Burn DVD: Miscellaneous enhancements and little bug fixes. F. Burn DVD Bug fixed: The abort button did not kill the mkisofs process in the standalone exe. F. Burn DVD: Free disk space was wrong on Win 9X and on foreign Win 2K/NT/XP. Note: The free disk space is not tested any more on Win 95/98/ME/SE! F. Shortcut to select all the Trace output changed to Control-Shift-A to avoid a bug with Control-a. 0.4.8 (January 17, 2005) A. Option "When saving, leave at least 32K of space between IFO and BUP?" to help protect your DVD against defects and scratches. Use with caution! A. Added File -> Burn DVD / Create ISO to create an ISO image with mkisofs and optionally burn it with DVD Decrypter. This method supports the 32K space option above. For Windows only. E. When loading the DVD, a warning is issued if there are empty (0 byte) menu VOBs. Also, the stream attributes of the VOBs are resetted to 0 when the menu VOB is removed by the 'Blank Out All Menu PGCs' function. E. Trace mode: Removed "WARNING: Trying to play cell 1 of a dummy PGC!" dialog when a dummy PGC is played. However, this message is still present if the cell to play is not cell 1. F. Fixed a rare bug occuring in Trace mode when the First-Play PGC was played (ie. when the current position was on the "*** post-command" label) 0.4.7 (January 8, 2005) A. New "Delete Last PGC in Domain" utility to remove the last PGC of the LUs in the current menu domain, or the last PGC of the current title domain. In title domain, the last PGC must be the last TTN of the titleset and the last Title in the DVD. E. Added a check for incorrect number of VOB IDs in the VTS_C_ADT table as a workaround for a DVDShrink bug in reauthor mode (number of VOB IDs saved in the table is always 1). F. As a SPRM cannot be used as the first operand of the IF comparison, the SPRM option has been removed from the GUI of the command ediror. Also, a command with a "if ( sprm(x) ... )" will now generate an ILLEGAL SPRM warning. F. Show Menu Buttons did not work when there were no buttons in the first cell of the PGC. F. PgcEdit Preview v 1.5. 0.4.6 (January 3, 2005) A. Info -> Go To Calling Command function. (May be very slow!) E. Menu Buttons Viewer now displays the video in the correct aspect ratio, and selects the buttons group matching the player setup in Trace mode. E. Miscellaneous enhancements and little bug fixes in Menu Buttons viewer and Trace mode. F. PGC Editor: The total number of buttons displayed in the PGC selector was wrong after the user accepted the modifs in the PGC Editor. F. New 'Play All' Title: Fixed the Next, Prev and GoUp PGCN of the new PGC. 0.4.5 (December 19, 2004) A. Added 'Remove Cell' button in the PGC editor. A. Added "Clone PGC" function (works in Title and Menu domains) E. PgcEditPreview version 1.4, by Jeanl. E. Menu buttons viewer: It is now possible to hide the buttons by clicking on the background image. (Windows only) E. Dummy PGCs in the title domain are now labelled with "(dummy)" instead of "(0:00)". E. "New Dummy PGC" in title domain now create the dummy 'attached' to the current Title (ie, it inherit the current Title and TTN numbers.) E. The Layer Break checkbox is now disabled in the Cells List of the PGC Editor when the Seamless flag must be kept OFF. Therefore, the checkbox is checked and enabled only for real layer breaks. E. Renamed some labels of the Type Flags in the Cells list of the PGC Editor. F. The Remapping VOB/Cell ID function in the Cells List now clears the Seamless Playback flags of the remapped cell and the following one. F. The TTN numbers are now retrieved from the VTS_PGCITI table, instead of VTS_PTT_SRPT. This is more reliable. F. Bug in "New 'Play All' PGC" function with wrong Category Mask and Parental ID Mask in the VTS_PGCITI table fixed. F. Bug in VTS_PTT_SRPTI table when saving a DVD with illegal dummy titles. F. Bug when launching both Preview and Menu buttons viewer at the same time fixed by Jeanl. 0.4.4 (December 8, 2004) A. PgcEditPreview version 1.3 (See bottom of this text for Preview history.) A. Added Preview full Domain VOB(s) utility. (Windows only) A. Menu buttons viewer: arrows to select the image to show in the background. A. Trace: Added a checkbutton to enable or disable the automatic preview. A. Trace: Added highlights of the played PGCs (and a menu to clear them in Trace/State, and a popup menu when clicking on a blank line in the PGC Selector). A. Info/Calls Cross References highlights the never-called PGCs in pink. A. Preview: The Info window of DVD2AVI strikes again. (Modified by Jeanl, now includes the number of buttons.) E. Clicking or right-clicking on the current PGC line in the PGC selector do not change the current selected command in the main listbox any more. Handy to use the PGC Selector popup menu, and continue the trace. E. Kill Playback and Blank Out functions now reset the PGC Still Time to 0. E. Commands Editor: CallSS command has now the Resume Cell 1 by default. E. Trace watch Input: Reset button replaced by the usage count of the current GPRM or SPRM. E. Trace: it is now possible to break the Run mode from within the Preview window. Thanks to Jeanl. E. Added a Preview menu, and moved the preview actions and options menu items there. E. dvd2bmp.exe is now integrated in PgcEditPreview.exe, and is not included in the Windows distribution any more. E. Menu buttons viewer: Middle-clicking or Control-Left-clicking on a menu button when not in Trace mode will now jump to the target of the button. F. Bug fixed in PTT_SRPTI table when the chapters are not in ascending order. F. Trace: Bugs with Title without TTN assignments fixed. F. Trace: RSM was jumping to the first cell instead of the last visited cell. F. Fixed bugs when parsing the VOBs to find menu buttons when the VOB IDs were not sorted in ascending order, or when some VOB IDs were missing. F.

PGC Editor: added the ability to edit the PG Playback Mode (sequential, random or shuffle mode.) E. It is now possible to paste commands in full text format (copied with 'Copy as Text') directly in the main listbox. Note that the *** labels are not pasted: you may therefore paste the pre, post and cell commands in one operation, but all commands will be pasted in the same section. E. New option "Include [hex codes] in Info / commands dumps ?". E. Help -> ISO639 Language Codes now lists also the decimal and hex values. F.

New PGC: When creating a new PGC in the Title domain, the VTS_PGCI table is now correctly updated. F. Target highlighting and "Jump To Target", when used in a multi-PGC title, were unable to find the target of JumpVTS_PTT and LinkPTT if the chapter was in another PGC belonging to the same Title. F. Error launching PgcEdit when the TEMP directory is not writable trapped. F. Error in the Uninstall procedure fixed. Note: most of the bug fixed in this release were discovered by 2COOL.

Version 2.8 - Added playback of audio. Only AC3 and LPCM streams are supported. - Added a key (PlayAudioStreamID) in the .ini file, to specify which stream to play. 0 for no audio playback, 128 for the first AC3 stream etc. - Added option to introduce a pause in the playback between two cells, to help visualize the layer-break. - Added support for ILVU (interleaved units, used in angles), which makes it possible to follow a given angle, as a normal player would. - In the DVDPreview code: added support for audio, ILVUs, and still-frames. Added code to reduce the frame rate for slower machines, when playing with audio. Fixed a few minor bugs, and probably introduced a few new ones! - Changed the time-stamp display from hundredths of seconds to frames. Version 2.7 - Added key in the ini file (RealTimePlayback) to tell the preview to display videos at the normal video rate. - Fixed a bug in the display of the hours in the time-stamp of the info window. Version 2.6 - Added a CLI option to pass the ReturnFilePath in the INI file. This is necessary to support the options Close and Break Trace and Blank this Cell under Linux. Version 2.5 - Made a small change to make the preview behave better in VISTA. Version 2.4 - Added display of absolute LBA in system bar. The last absolute lba is written in the return file. Version 2.3 - Incorporates many changes in the DVDPreview class (but this should have no bearing on pgceditpreview). - Added argument option (in the argument ini file) to prevent pgceditpreview from quitting too quickly. - Added argument option to set the blank checkbox by default. Version 2.2 - Added support for a blank checkbox, for PgcEdit. A "preview_return.tcl" file is created %TEMP% with return data for PgcEdit. Currently set preview_break and set preview_blanking. - Close and break trace no longer causes pgceditpreview to exit with a code 1. Rather, the return file is used to tell pgcedit that that button was clicked. - pgceditpreview returns with a non-zero code if something went wrong while opening the files. Version 2.1 - 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 http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=92481&page=8&pp=40) Version 2.0 - Fixed a bug that occasionally caused the buttons from the next VOBU to be displayed instead of the ones in the current VOBU. - Fixed a bug introduced in the previous version that caused the overlay mixer to never be used. - Fixed an old DVD2AVI bug that occurred when attempting to go to the first LBA of a VOB in the middle of a large title (for example the first LBA of VTS_01_3.VOB). - Added the current VOB number to the LBA display in the info panel. Version 1.9 - Displays the menu buttons outlines in info mode. - MFC42.DLL is now dynamically linked with the executable. Version 1.8 - 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. Version 1.7 - Added flag to control overlay mode. - Changed bitmap saving mode to never make any direct-draw call. - Added code to save bitmap as PPM file, instead of BMP, if needed. - Option to save the image in PPM format from the GUI, by shift-clicking the BMP button. Version 1.6 - The "small" button now always yields a smaller view (wasn't always the case). - Fixed Display Aspect Ratio (DAR) problem. The DAR was simply not correct in all cases, and the x/y scaling factors were not calculated from the video coding size. This has been fixed. - Fixed bitmap saving bug that caused the bitmap to be invalid in some cases (width was not a multiple of 4). - Fixed display problem for videos with a vertical size of 240 (generally vertical sizes not multiple of 32). Version 1.5 - Fixed a rare problem where preview was displaying black frames instead of the video. Version 1.4 - Improved error reporting in bitmap saving mode. - Fixed a bug that prevented preview from loading some VOB files in bitmap saving mode. - The elapsed time was wrong in some cases (STC discontinuity), I'm setting it to 0 if the audio pack has no PTS. - Fixed a bug that caused an image to be displayed in the improved bitmap- saving version of preview. - Rolled in most changes made by jsoto for vobblanker. Version 1.3.1: - Fixed bug in DVD2AVI that caused the VOB/CELL ID of the next Nav Pack to be displayed in some cases. Version 1.3: - Added command line arguments to check VOB/CELL ID and Number of buttons when used to dump bmp file. - PgcEditPreview can be used instead of dvd2bmp, given the right number of arguments. - Added code to read the number of buttons in the vob file, displayed in the INFO panel. - Preview now returns the focus to PgcEdit (most of the time!). - The UI is no longer disabled during playback. - Fixed bitmap header problem. Version 1.2: - Fixed remaining fast-exit crash problem. - Fixed problem related to loading invalid VOB files. - Added code so standalone version resizes according to DAR in video. - Added old DVD2AVI info dialog. Position is saved in preference. - Added Close & Break Trace button. - Close & Break Trace buttons are now hidden in standalone. One of them is red. Version 1.1: - Packaged DVD2AVI code to be used in another application. - Added x-axis and y-axis video scaling, in both overlay and RGB mode. - Added .ini file parsing for control from PgcEdit. - Added .ini file code for preference settings. - Added code to kill other instances of preview. - Added AutoLocate code to find last frame in a given cell. - Added support for "discontinuous" PGCs. - Added code to disable UI for single-frame cells. - Added code for Pausing, and Quitting. - Added code to halt playback at a specific sector. - Fixed problem with overlapping cells. - Added tooltips, error messages in debug mode. - Fixed fast-exit crash problem.
