PgcEdit v0.6.3 release history:

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

DVDShrink plugin v1.4 released!

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

0.6.3.1 (January 29, 2005)

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.

Thanks to Tobi for the bug repport!

PgcEdit v7.0 released! As requested by many users (thanks, guys!) I have finally removed the useless leading "0." in the version number. The enormous gap between the latest official version 0.6.3.1 and this v7.0 doesn't mean that it's a particularly major upgrade, or that all bug are fixed. Release notes:

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

Have fun!

Nice update r0lZ Posted it on the main page too Smile

PgcEdit v 7.1

A. Burn DVD: New "Seamless Layer Break" option in the Layer Break selection dialogue, allowing to set the seamless flag of the LB cell. Theoreticaly, 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 has to do it manually.
E. Improved the VOB desynchronized 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 Desynchronized 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 initialized 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 discrepancy 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.

DVDShrink plugin v 2.0

A. New function to redo completely from scratch the authoring of a DVD created by DVDShring in reauthor mode.

LU (Language Unit) plugin v 1.1

A. New function to clone the current LU, with a new language code. Useful to translate a still menu to another language.

Enjoy!

Sorry, the Kill Playback function is broken in v7.1! Please download v7.1.1, which fixes this bug.

r0lZ · Junior Member Joined: 13 Jun 2004 Posts: 62 Location: be

PgcEdit v7.1.2 released! Sorry again, there were 2 important bugs in v7.1. Kill Playback and the Burn function were broken. Also, this version was incorrectly named v7.0.1. If you have already downloaded v7.1 (7.0.1) or 7.1.1 (7.0.1.1), please download v7.1.2, which should be the final 7.1.X release. Sorry for the trouble!

PgcEdit v7.2

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 inexistant 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.

New plugin:

Time Maps plugin v1.0, a function to verify the VTS_TMAPTI tables of all Titles of the DVD, with an option to rebuild the missing or wrong tables automatically when the DVD is saved.

PgcEdit v 7.3 released

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 blcak 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.

PgcEdit v7.4 released:

A. New function Info -> Find Never-Called PGCs, to mark the PGCs and VTSs that are never called explicitely (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 truely 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.
F. Trace mode: SPRM 20 (Player region code) was wrongly initialized 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.

DVDShrink plugin updated to v2.1:

F. Bug in DVDShrink Remote Buttons's Always allow the 'Title Menu' button to skip to the next title? function fixed. The Title button was ineffective in some cases.

New VOBU plugin:

With this plugin, you can change the entry VOBU sector and the last VOBU sectors of any PGC. Handy to skip intros, logos or credits embedded in the main movie. Please note that this method is not standard compliant, and may fail with some players!

Enjoy!

Thats a nice update r0lZ

r0lZ · Junior Member Joined: 13 Jun 2004 Posts: 62 Location: be

PgcEdit v 8.0

A. = Added feature
E. = Enhanced feature
F. = Bug Fixed

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 reorganized 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 initialized only after the trace mode was closed by the user. Now, the plugins are loaded and initialized 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 greather 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.

Plugins

Update: Prohibited User Operations plugin v 1.4
- v 1.3: It is now possible to selectively keep some PUOs when removing them from the VOB files.
- v 1.4: Bugfix: A wrong error message was displayed in some rare cases, when the end of a VOB file is padded with null packs.
Update: Time Maps plugin v 1.1
- Bugfix: The Verify Time Maps function crashed if it was called with no DVD loaded in PgcEdit.
Update: VOBU plugin v 1.1
- Added the option to modify also the VTS_C_ADT table.
- Added a way to select the sector number from the preview. (Requires PgcEdit v 7.5 and PgcEdit_Preview v 2.4)
- Added the "Reset to full range" button to quickly restore the original cell boundaries.
New: Womble plugin v 1.0
- Plugin to create .MBS and .MSL files for Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD.
  The .MBS files are necessary to open a VTST made of several VOB files in Womble.
  The .MSL files are the Womble chapters/bookmarks lists (similar to celltimes.txt, but more complex.)
  This plugin is useful only for the users of MPEG Video Wizard DVD.
New: XiRON plugin v 1.0
- Plugin to fix and modify DVDs created by a XiRON DVD recorder.
  I wrote this plugin for me, to fix the numerous authoring errors of my cheap and very bad XiRON RW3HDD 80GB recorder.
  I will probably NOT continue to develop it, and I provide no support for this plugin. Use it at your own risk!
  This plugin is useless if you are not un unlucky owner of a XiRON recorder.
