  home - news

PgcEdit is a DVD IFO editor designed to allow the modification of the navigation commands and parameters of an already authored DVD structure. It is designed to supplement IfoEdit.

PgcEdit is free and open source (GPL license).

Change log: PGC Edit 0.3.6 (October 4, 2004) :

• Added the "PGCs params and Cell table" menu to dump all PGCs.
• Added the "Remove Parental Managment" utility.
• Thanks to jsoto, The VOB/Cell ID remapper (in the PGC Editor window, VOB/Cell ID buttons) has now the ability to append a new blank cell to the VOB. Handy to blank out a specific cell. Currently for Windows only.
• Changed the "Info/PGC commands" to "Info/PGC". Now, dump also the PGC parameters and the Cell Table.
• "Find Unused GPRMs" now search also for GPRMs in the menu button cmds.
• In the disassembly of integer values, the ASCII equivalent of the value is now displayed only if it is a valid language code. (No more "..")
• The first column of the Cell Table in the PGC Editor is now the Number of Buttons for a Menu PGC (and still the Chapter Number for a Title).
• New popup menu on the Search fields of the main window and the text viewer, to clear, copy and paste in the search field.
• The Copy and Cut buttons in the main window are now placing the command in the clipboard without the "{" and "}" characters if only one command is copied/cutted. Handy to paste the hex codes in the search field.
• Command Editor: When pasting in the hexadecimal field, the command is now automatically validated, and transferred in the GUI.
• The number of buttons shown in the PGC labels is now "?b." if the VOB file is missing or not readable. Was "0b." before.
• Now, the "Cell Type Flags" editor doesn't allow to select an Angle Type if the Angle Block flag is not checked.
• "Kill PGC Playback" changes now also all Link to Cell, PG or PTT pre commands to GOTOs (only if the Highlight Button parameter is not used.)
• Documentation updated (and english doc corrected.)
• "Kill PGC Playback" will now remove the post commands after a Kill if the total number of commands exceeds the fatal limit of 128.
• "Import First-Play Clip" and "Import Title's Intro Clip" bugs fixed.

Mac OSX users should refer to the homepage for installation instructions (Thanks to Damien).

Installation of PgcEdit:

PgcEdit is written in Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk is an interpreted scripting language. It is therefore necessary in theory to have a Tcl/Tk interpreter to use PgcEdit. Windows does not have such an interpreter. PgcEdit.exe is an executable containing the Tcl/Tk interpreter and its libraries, as well as scripts constituting the Tcl/Tk application. It is not an installer.

Installation of PgcEdit.exe: (under Windows):

To install PgcEdit, simply copy PgcEdit.exe in a folder of your choice, such as "C:\Program Files\PgcEdit\", or in the same folder as IfoEdit.exe, with which it cohabits very well. Then, launch PgcEdit.exe and see the Options/Install menu: it allow to automatically create the shortcuts and the files associations.

Installation of the sources (under Linux, Mac or Windows):

If you wish to use PgcEdit under Linux or Mac, or if you wish to install a Tcl/Tk interpreter under Windows, you will have to make sure that you have Tcl/Tk version 8.4 (or more). You must then install the sources of the script. The Options/Install menu will not be present, and you will have to make the installation manually. Note that PgcEdit was only coarsely tested under Linux, and not at all under Mac. It should however run without problems. The sources of PgcEdit are contained in PgcEdit.exe (in the folder PGCEDIT), and can be extracted with an unzip program, such as WinZip. You may also download the source files alone.
