(fixed 2.6.6)Lost links in German DVD"Haus der 1000 Lei

[manyone]

The english title is "House of the 1000 corpses" The Problem is, that when i open the DVD for import i lost many links. the DVD is authored like the sample below. VTS with two PGC and one title. The Title had PGC1 as chapter one and PGC2 as chapter two. But in the first pgc which is started by 'jump title' has no link to PGC2 and so when i view this export the first PGC plays and then the DVD stop playing. the source is OK and shrinked, it is also fine. when i import/export the shrinked material the same Problem comes up as with the original. So it must depend on the structure from the DVD and the DRM import module. I noticed this some times before but but it doesn't bother me so much but now its on every Program Chain. Hope you can help *M* Hmm, took a look with pgcedit, it seems that there is no link in the first pgc and its only linked by the title chapter settings, but why powerDVD is playing the original but not the DRM export.

i mean i have a 'Program Chain' with 2 PGC the title says chap1 is pgc1 and chap2 is pgc2 pgc1 is the video without pre,post or cell commands and pgc2 has the link back to the previous menu. so when i play the original dvd all works fine but when i export the dvd and try to play this, the navigation stop between the two pgc. (how can i post pictures ?) *M*[/img]

Most probably you have Prev/Next PGC set. Take a look at "Extra" tab. What version of the DvdReMake are you using?

my experiences with dvds having titles with chapters in different pgcs is: if you hide one of them, the dvd stops there (anti-remake?) as I can see you are experienced in commands, so it's no difficult to "change" the structure, that is, adding new vts with old pgc 1 and 2 joined, then add chapters 1 and 2 on that long pgc, and place commands where necessary.

not sure if this will help at all, but i ran into a similar odd issue with the US region 1 dvd version. It was ripped with some version of decrypter, but after going into dvd shrink ( i deleted nothing) the main live action menu did not play like the original did, it jumnped straight to the film instead. Using the menu button did not work either, i had to hit the title button for the main menu (minus the live action intro) to load up. I could never figure it out. Its as if it somehow changed navigation structure when it was ripped and then shrunk. So it may not be from drm but from something very oddly done with that disc

Method mentioned by WKH is the preferred way. You'll end up with one PGC and 2 programs, with chapter defined on each program. Or in your scenario, you can add a postcommand in PGC 1 to link to PGC 2. If you're going to press Prev or Next chapter, it won't work until you define the Prev/Next PGC set in the Extra tab, as Dimad mentions. You can modify this in PgcEdit/PGC Editor/Previous and Next PGCN link fields.

i'm usind DRM pro 2.6.5 to toaddub: thanks for info about imageshack to WKH: i think it's easier to place a 'link pgc2' in the post commands than your way the prob is that i have to change about 20 or more PGC for this one and bad feelings for any other DVD i want to reauthor in the future until i know how about this prob comes up. and now an other information for you: i have nothing changed. only import and export the DVD. Original is OK, export not. some screenshots: hopefully *M*

Hello manyone, PGC 2 has no video (0.01MB) Are your screenshots showing the original disc or a re-import of an exported disc?

[manyone]

That is the original import. No Video is ok because it holds only the backjump address. The Question is, why does it work with the original but not with the export *M*

[rubicat]

I don't have an answer as to why the export doesn't work if you didn't change anything, but you could just add Call VMG PGC 7 to the post commands of PGC 1 (or copy and paste from PGC 2).
