(resolved) "Cut TO Here" ok BUT Cut FROM Here is N

[casperse]

Hi Guys I have a menu where the chapter selection is live video (Background) And all Buttons are the same And I would like to cut it to a single frame for each chapter. And that works! BUT I can´t do a "cut from Here" only "Cut to here"! "Cut TO Here" ok BUT "Cut FROM Here" is Grayed Out? This means that I have to select the first frame and use "Cut to here". It would be better to select the frame/picture I want? Any input on why "Cut From Here is" grayed out? I am using 2.6.4 Thanks! any input is welcome

it's due to the location of the data for the menu such as subpicture etc maybe you could use the replace menu still method

THANKS MackemX But I dont understand ? Is that because the menu is some how linked to the first frame? Because I did cut it all away and only keept the first frame and that worked. just wanted to chooce one special frame. Not sure I have the expertise yet to Implement the Still Method? I have haed alot of trouble with this DVD every time I blanked something in the menu the DVD stopped working or the menu would not loop itself. Finally I did a edit in the "First Play" and set it to "Jump VMG PGC 1" and now it works. But im learning by trial and error so if you have god links to FAQ etc about menu structure etc then let me know Thanks again for your fast reply!

all the menu data (subtitle sectors) will probably be in the first few sectors. If you try to crop the 'header' then you will end up cropping the subtitle sectors . The subtitle sector contains the subpicture which is your highlights, so yes basically the menu is connected to the first few frames the replace menu with still is just a method that can be used. Once you get the idea it's rather simple to do. The hardest part is understanding what you are doing I haven't tried this method but it may work or a variation. Export the menu buttons and still BMP from DRM. You need the menu cell by itself also so you can extract the subtitle file and any audio's. Create an .m2v from the exported BMP. Get hold of muxman and then you should be able to remux it all back together. Replace the menu block and import the buttons.

Hi MackemX your the man! Ok I will try to replace menu in the future. One more questing, is it correct to do a edit in the "First Play" and set it to "Jump VMG PGC 1" or could this mess it up? It works sometime but I am not exactly sure what it is I am doing...Skipping to the VMP PGC1 seems to skip all the Intro and warnings Trailers etc. and when it works it plays fine on my standalone player. But I have tried to change the First play on the movie "Walking Tall" and that doesn't work! No matter what I put in there it always goes to a "select language start menu" and I only wanted to keep the English version...I have seen allot of post about this but not a Guide explaining this. And normally I just deletes the buttons with the other languages and only keep the Eng. one but its not a pretty remake would like to do it the proper way. Cheers Casperse

there may be another selction language menu chek point in the commands after you press play on the menu. This will send the player back to the language selection screen even after you bypassed it initially there is a guide HERE

Hi casperse,

[casperse]

Thanks for the input on this ! that is god to know! Right now I have a DVD where it isnt enough to blank the titles. Its a language menu and I have read the guide here: http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/guide_ht_bypass_menu.php But this menu is different and all the same on each button "Link PGC60" on the next block it would say "LinkTailPGC" on all the Buttons So then I looked for the PGC60 cell : So what do I have to do in order to start with the English menu? If I follow the Guide I posted the link to above I would 1) Hide the block with the select langauge menu 2) Ad Command (NOP) 3) And do a system Set Instructions & Set highlighted button = Value X*1024 & Mark the "X"LinkNoLink" # ..... But what value? I have done a trial & error on different combinations but it dosent seem to work? PS: I dont know how I managed before getting DVDRemake !

I think in this case it would be easier to just change line 2 of PGC 60's post commands to R[0] = 1 (or whatever button number corresponds to the language that you want, 1=English, 2=German, etc.).

[casperse]

Hmmm like this: ***This dosent Work!*** Could yo tell me what I have to do if I want the other "Guide" to work? I would like to learn how this works

[MackemX]

try R[0]=1024. It looks like it's dividing it by 1024 in line 3 after you have set it to 1 in line 2 therefore it's 1/1024 which isn't an answer whereas 1024/1024 is 1. You could just get rid of the /1024 command also I would just blitz all the commands and try 1 R[3]=0 (probably to say menu selection has been done) 2 R[0]=1 (you may not even need to set this, but best you do) 3 Link PGC84 (english Menu?) done, all the rest is crap to just check the current highlighted button and jump to the correct menu

[rubicat]

Ooops my bad...as MackemX said it should be 1024, not 1.

[casperse]

Aha I first tried to change it to 1024 that didnt work? Then I deleted everything and typed the values: But some how it keept playing the intro and the language... Then I looked again and found this cell containing the menu: I then also deleted them and added the lines: But it keeps playing the intro: More Info PGC9 - Pre Command: PGC1 Root Menu Precommands: and afterwards still plays the language menu! HELP! Should I just "Blitz" that dam Language menu? EDITED: No Blitzing the menu dosent help

Wow 245 menu PGCs in VTS 1! I hate when discs are authored with this level of complexity...If it were me I'd start from scratch and reauthor the whole damn thing.

[casperse]

Sorry I am a Beginner so I dont think that would be a god idea. I just need to find the right line to audit... I hope. The DVD is "Walking Tall" region 2 PAL and its pretty messy a menu of 1,4G in 5 different language menus !! so if I can remove the 4 other start menus I dont even have to encode my backup of the movie!
