Still menu problem

[RB]

Edited by DimadSoft: This was split from: http://cdr-zone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=890 ---------------------------------------------- IFOs are on the way to you. The DVD files reallocation problem is NOT present in 2.2.3, but persists in 2.3.0 and 2.3.1. Also, the still menu problem is present with all three versions I tested (2.2.3, 2.3.0, 2.3.1). The source was processed by DVD-RB and works without any problems, I didn't blank anything, just some PGC command editing in VTS 7, 8 and 9. The menu(s) in question is in VTS_01_0.VOB which I again didn't touch, DVD-RB doesn't touch menus too, as you know. Still a binary compare shows a huge amount of differences between the original and exported menu VOB.

Just to explain to others:

@RB Thanks for files. It is a problem with the sources. Just take a look at VIDEO_TS.VOB (same thing is with VTS_01_0.VOB but it is bigger and harder to show). Open it in VobEdit and go to LBA 71: Take a look at the last packet in the block. Block size is fixed: 2048 bytes. so the last packet should end at the end of the block. But the info in the block about packet is wrong. This just messes everything up for DvdReMake.

Hi Dimad, are you sure about this? the size of the padding stream length does not include the bytes that contain the information regarding the padding (6 bytes), neither are the bytes for the video info (20 bytes) the pack header info is 20 bytes (everything up to and including length in video stream) the padding info is 6 bytes long (everything up to and including length in padding stream) add the length of the video stream (everything from Pes header data content flags up to Padding Stream start code) add the length of the padding (everything from Padding Stream start code up to and including length in padding stream) add these four values together and you should get 2048 I can see by the value on the left the video stream length is 01d6 which is 470 so adding them together you get 2048 (20+6+470+1552) the others are all 07ec (2028) as there is only the nav pack info which is 20 bytes and no padding stream info I may be wrong in my explanation of how to work it out correctly but it works in any VOB I check so I hope you follow anyway Can I help in any way with this issue at all by looking at the files or something? I can't follow the thread that well as I'm quite tired now so I don't understand the issue if there is one now seeing as it says the Nero part is fixed in the thread title or is this the menu issue p.s. I get 2025 if I add it using the way you showed in any VOB I check

Indeed. You are right about bytes counting MackemX. We will have to look into this issue again. What a pity it was so convenient to say that it is a problem with files

[MackemX]

I'm sure you will sort it

@Dimad Byte count or Not! I spent about 8.5 hours with 2.3.3 last night/morning going over still menu discs/motion menu disks/previously authored disks and newly authored disks. They All burned Flawlessly!!! This problem we're discussing here is not a ReMake problem! It could only be a problem either in the master image (maybe pre-edited disk) or it could be a problem with RB (OR) a problem in RH's procedure. End of Story. Thanks for the superb troubleshooting! 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 showed visible evidence of how complex this little proggy is. I sure am glad you know how it works ! N.

@NowWhereWasI Thanks a lot for testing. Yes, last problem reported about menus playback was for really old version (like for 1.something). @RB The differences in files you've sent are due to some unused cells in original disk which DvdReMake removes automaticaly. May be there is something else, but it is hard to find. What is the location of the problematic menu (PGC #, cell #)?

I'm a little confused now You said that something is wrong with the original VOBs but MackemX seemed to prove that everything is OK and you agreed. Now is DVDReMake treating these original VOBs I sent you correctly or not? I processed this DVD again with 2.3.4 and the problem is still there... but I must admit only in WinDVD. IFOEdit player and my standalone don't exhibit this (black screen with only button highlights visible). Still, as it doesn't happen with the original disc, maybe some further investigation is worth thinking about Also, I processed two other DVDs that had the same type of menu (motion video followed by a still menu) and all was fine, even in WinDVD.
