2 Version Movies - Some questions

[Groover]

Greetings,

So, okay... I have a two version movie (SE and TR). I want it so that when the DVD starts it goes to the (root) menu giving you the option to select SE or TR (Defaults to TR). Okay...this was really easy to implement in DRP. I don't really know a lot about the DVD structure (Stuff), but managed to figure it out.

I have several of these types of movies. (Now...I can only assume these are what is called a seamless branching movie?? -is that right) I have tested with two only and both gave the following error on loading.

Read VMG
Read VTS1
Recovering C_ADT & VOBU_ADMAP tables. (818:VobData.cpp)
Read VTS2
Read VTS3
Read VTS4
Read VTS5

I can only assume this is the multi-angle thingee with the demo version?? (Edit - it still does it with the full version )

Right...the main questions.

1 - When I select a version from the root menu and start it playing, it starts as it should (great). But if I stop the movie before it finishes then hit the play button again it defaults back to the root menu. Usually, hitting the play button causes it to start playing from where you stopped - and this is what I want. (I really hope this can be achieved watching either version).

2 - After my hacking session on this test title, there are still a lot of "pre-commands" on each title and 1 "post -command" What do these mean? (Can someone post a link to where I can learn what these are?)

eg -PreC - if(R[4] == 1) goto line 9 (the goto part is fairly obvious). A PostC - R[7]=0?

(I thought this was perhaps the place to tell the setup what to do when the play button is pressed after stop?) Edit - I found some info talking about these commands without really explaining what they are. How do I understand them?

THX very much in advance.

Don't worry about the recovering message. Usually there's a mismatch of info in the IFO and VOB so DVDRMP is trying to recover the info. You can use FixVTS to resolve this problem before importing, or just let DVDRMP fix it when exporting.

A good place to know what these commands do is use the debug player in Step mode. There you can see how the registers and system registers are affected and how the navigation flows. You may want to reorganize these panes so that you can see them all at once. Another good place to study DVD structure is http://www.dvd-replica.com/DVD/index.php
