About PgcEdit:

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).

Changelog, v 0.3:

Added:

Added : the "Blank out all PGCs in Domain" utility: replace the VTST, VMGM or VTSM VOBs by a black frame and inhibit the playback, or by a still frame, an animated clip (aka 'feature disabled' clip), or a menu (allow to use BOV (Button Over Video) to continue).
Added : the "Enable Navigation Buttons" utility to be able to use the Prev Chapter, Next Chapter and Return (GoUp) buttons of the remote anywhere.
Added : same options in the "DVDShrink Title Button" macro and renamed it to "DVDShrink Remote Buttons" to reflect the changes.
Added : Added the 'Enable All Operations' macro: Clear all PUOs and enable the 'Prev Chapter', 'Next Chapter' and 'Return' buttons for the current PGC.
Added : Added the 'Swap menu LUs' utility: allow to change the default (first) LU.
Added : Added the 'Copy LU cmds to other LUs' utility: allow to edit the commands in one LU, ant then copy them to all other LUs.
Added : Added the "New DVD" utility: create an empty VMG (VIDEO_TS.IFO) that may be used as a basis to import external titlesets and menus.
Added : Added the "Save current scratchbook as default" option. Using Undo in scratchbook reloads the default scratchbook commands.
Enhanced : The Set + Link commands were missing from 'Edit/Jump to Target' function and from target highlighting. Added.
Enhanced : "Kill PGC Playback": Added option to clear the Program and Cell tables. (Only for Menu PGCs.)
Enhanced : The VTS parameter of the JumpSS-VTSM command is now allowed to be 0.
Enhanced : The config files are now stored in "/Application Data/PgcEdit/", under Windows (but still in "/" under Linux and Mac).
Fixed : Bug when doing a 'Paste Replace' with a 'pre', 'post' or 'cell' label in the current selection fixed.
Fixed: The link description was wrong for CSetCLnk and CSetLnk commands. Fixed.

Documentation:

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.
