PgcEdit v 7.3 released

[*] F. During the trace, when a menu was displayed, hitting the Prev, Next or GoUp button on the virtual remote had no effect.
[*] F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell -> Create New Blank VOB Cell did not create a new cell if a tiny blcak cell previously created by PgcEdit was already present at the end of the VOB file. Instead, the tiny cell was reused.
[*] F. When using Create New Cell -> Use existing VOB/Cell ID, the cell ID number was always 1.
[*] F. When using Create New Cell on a non-sequential Title PGC (with several PGCs in the same TTN) and the option to create a new chapter, the new chapter number was wrong.
[*] F. When using New Dummy PGC on a Title PGC, the modified Title was not marked as non-sequential in the VMG_TT_SRPT table.
[*] F. When using Delete Last PGC in the Title domain to delete the penultimate PGC of a non-sequential Title (played sequentially), the Title was not marked as sequential in VMG_TT_SRPT. Its time map is now also recomputed when the DVD is saved.

PgcEdit v7.4 released:
[*] A. New function Info -> Find Never-Called PGCs, to mark the PGCs and VTSs that are never called explicitely (without having to clear the VM commands and Prev/Next/GoUp PGCNs).
[*] A. New function Trace menu -> State -> Restart Playback from Exit Domain, to begin the playback at Title 1 instead of at the First-Play PGC.
[*] A. New Option -> Functions -> DVD-TEXT General Name to set the max length of the Volume General Name string, since the number of characters that can be displayed on screen is player dependent.
[*] A. Added "%t" and "%l" substitutions in the command line string of the Tools Setup dialog to be able to pass the DVD-Text General Name (%t) and the default DVD label of the burn function (%l) as arguments. Calling ImgBurn with the volume label already in place is now possible with the arguments: /MODE ISOBUILD /BUILDMODE DEVICE /FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF" /SRC "%d" /VOLUMELABEL "%l" /NOIMAGEDETAILS /ERASE /VERIFY /IBG "C:\%l.ibg"
[*] E. When a PGC or a cell is never called directly by a VM command or by a Prev Next or GoUpPGCN link, it was previously considered as unreferenced, even if it was referenced in some IFO tables. Now, in this situation, the word "unreferenced" has been replaced by "never-called" to avoid the confusion with truely unreferenced cells (which are never referenced in the IFOs.)
[*] E. Rebuild Time Map functions: the cell times and the PGC playback time are now updated also in the VTS_PGCITI table. Therefore, after using this function, the times shown in the PGC Editor should be accurate.
[*] E. Create New Cell and Reassign VOB/Cell ID: New option to rebuild the time map tables. It is now possible to skip the Time Map creation. Useful to speed up things when using those function several times.
[*] E. The error message "Can't create backup" is not displayed any more when the DVD is loaded from the DVD drive, and is therefore read-only.
[*] E. Improved Read DVD functions, to cope with some severe authoring errors.
[*] E. Added a note in the Check DVD-R Size dialog to warn the user that this function ignores the DVD-ROM files in the computation of the DVD size.
[*] F. Trace mode: SPRM 20 (Player region code) was wrongly initialized with the region code value of VMGM_MAT instead of a bitwise XOR of this value.
[*] F. Trace mode: In case of arithmetic overflow in Set operations, the result was rounded to 0 or 0xFFFF. Now, the right value, not rounded, is used.
[*] F. PGC Editor -> remap VOB/Cell ID did not work on a menu PGC if the VOB file was not successfully scanned for menu buttons when the DVD was opened, for example because the menu VOB file was not present or was CSS encrypted. Similarly, Remove Cell did not update the PGC playback time.
[*] F. When a menu PGC was killed and the video removed, the audio and subpic attributes were not cleared in the PGC.
[*] F. Kill playback: a warning was sometimes issued when it was not needed.
[*] F. Little bug fixed when PgcEdit was called with an invalid path as CLI arg.


DVDShrink plugin updated to v2.1:
[*]F. Bug in DVDShrink Remote Buttons's Always allow the 'Title Menu' button to skip to the next title? function fixed. The Title button was ineffective in some cases.


New VOBU plugin:
[*]With this plugin, you can change the entry VOBU sector and the last VOBU sectors of any PGC.
Handy to skip intros, logos or credits embedded in the main movie.
Please note that this method is not standard compliant, and may fail with some players!


Enjoy!

PgcEdit v 8.0 released

A. = Added feature
E. = Enhanced feature
F. = Bug Fixed

[*] E. Cell Table: The misleading "Layer Break ?" flag has been replaced by the more standard "Seamless Joint" flag. It's now a direct shortcut to the Seamless Joint flag in the cell type editor. Its value is the inverse of the old flag. Therefore, now, the new Seamless flag should theoretically be CLEAR at the LB position and always clear on the first cell of the PGC.
[*] A. New function Domain -> Remap PGCs in domain, to reorder the PGCs of the current domain. The VM commands and the Next/Prev/GoUpPGCN links are automatically renumbered to preserve the navigation.
You can preview the PGCs from within the GUI.
Removed Menu -> Swap or Copy Menu PGC, since this function is now useless.
[*] A. New function Title -> Re-order TTNs in domain, to renumber the TTNs of the current domain in increasing order. The VM commands are renumbered to preserve the navigation. This function might be needed to be able to delete the last PGC with Domain -> Delete last PGC in domain.
[*] A. New function DVD -> Delete uncalled PGCs, to delete automatically (almost) all useless PGCs in the DVD. The navigation is preserved.
Note: Since this function is potentially dangerous, use it with care!
[*] A. Added the User's PGC Comment field in the PGC editor, to easily type it.
[*] A. Pgc Editor -> Remove Cells: New "Shorten the chapter table if needed" option, to silently remove the chapters at the end of the chapter table when they are not assigned to an existing program any more after the operation. Use this option with care!
[*] A. PgcEditor -> CellTimes.txt: It is now also possible to save the celltimes file in Womble MPEG Video Wizard .MLS format. A .MBS file can also be generated when necessary (when there are several VOB files in the domain.)
[*] A. Removed Info -> Find Unused GPRMs and added Info -> GPRMs to open the new GPRM Labels Editor and to list the usage count of all GPRMs.
The labels are displayed in the VM commands and the Command Editor exactly like for the SPRMs. The GPRM fields in the Command Editor are now replaced by a dropdown menu button. Right-clicking on a GPRM menu button calls also the GPRM Labels Editor. In Trace mode, added also Watch -> GPRM Labels.
Clicking on a GPRM label in the Watch window calls also the Labels Editor.
The GPRM labels are saved in the backup folder, with the User Comments, when the DVD is saved. The menus File -> "Import/Export/Clear user's PGC comments" has been moved to the "Comments and Labels" sub-menu.
[*] A. Added File -> Recent DVDs submenu, with up to 25 entries. The invalid paths are removed from the list each time PgcEdit is started.
[*] A. Added View -> Show Log and View -> Clear Log. Currently, only the Load DVD operation is logged, to help discover the origin of a problem when loading a DVD. All status bar messages are also logged.
Clear Log clears the internal log buffer, but doesn't modify the contents of the Log viewer window. Opening or reopening a DVD clears also the log.
Note: Double-clicking on the status bar opens also the log window.
[*] A. Added the keyboard shortcut Control+A to call Domain Streams Attributes.
[*] A. Trace: Added Log -> Log Filter -> PUOs Details to log each PUO separately.
[*] E. Trace Watch Window: it is now possible to close any sub-window from the watch window, and to toggle the SPRM labels and the (new) GPRM labels.
New Watch -> All menu to enable all sub-windows and labels at once.
[*] E. DVD -> Remap Titlesets and Title -> Remap Title Numbers: Added a preview, available also in the new Domain -> Remap PGCs in domain function.
[*] E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert has been enhanced so that the target title and the resume target are no more blocked when they are entered directly from the exit domain with the player function to call a Title by its number.
[*] E. Jump To PGC Upon DVD Insert: Also, the original VM commands are completely removed from the First-Play PGC whenever possible, to leave a chance to delete the skipped PGCs with the new Delete Uncalled PGCs function.
[*] E. Kill PGC Playback on a menu with buttons (or BOVs) but with a non-infinite still time: added a "No Button!" button to kill playback without selecting a menu button to be simulated, to continue the navigation normally at the end of the playback. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION ON A LOOPING MENU, or you will probably create an endless loop!
[*] E: Kill PGC Playback improved to avoid infinite loop in some circumstances.
[*] E. Menu button viewer: When the user clicks on the big button to edit the command and the commands are identical in all groups (or there is only one group), the user is not prompted any more to modify the command in all groups. It is still possible to edit the commands independently when the original commands are different in each group, or with the menu editor.
[*] E. Improved warning messages when there are several set of buttons in a menu.
[*] E. The File menu, too big, has been reorganized with new sub-menus.
[*] A. Added File -> Backups -> Undo last Incremental Backup to automatically return one step back in the backups. In some cases, you MUST use this function instead of restoring the files manually, or your DVD might be totally messed up. This function checks also for FixVTS and VobBlanker backups, and offer to restore them manually. Shortcut: Control+Alt+N
The shortcut for New Incremental Backup has been modified: Control+N
[*] E. Restore Backup (and Restore Last Incremental Backup): The VOB files in the backup folder can now be copied or moved back automatically.
[*] E. Tools -> FixVTS: the FixVTSBackup folder is now renamed automatically when FixVTS is launched from the Tools menu, so that the new Undo Incremental Backup function works as expected when FixVTS has been used several times.
[*] E. Save DVD: When there are modified buttons or BOVs, the confirmation dialog is no longer displayed. The buttons or BOVs are saved anyway.
[*] E. Title Play Map table: The user can now modify the Not-One_Sequential_Title flags. Added also a button to compute automatically those flags, based on the characteristics of the titles (random, shuffle, more than one PGC...)
[*] E. Not-one_sequential_title flag in VMG_TT_SRPT: Added checks in several functions to be sure that this flag does not need to be modified. Now, the not-one_sequential flag is modified automatically (or in some cases after a confirmation of the user) to match the Title characteristics.
The affected functions are Edit PGC, Rebuild Time Map, Delete last PGC in Domain, etc... Thanks to Jsoto for the idea!
[*] E. After deleting or blanking a PGC, the streams attributes of the domain are now checked, and the user is prompted to fix them if some streams are no longer needed.
[*] E. Added Copy/Paste buttons in Domain Stream Attributes -> Audio type dialog.
[*] E. Added error messages in the status bar when the user types illegal characters in an ISO639 Language Code field.
[*] E. When the option to start PgcEdit in trace mode was on, the plugins were initialized only after the trace mode was closed by the user. Now, the plugins are loaded and initialized before the trace mode is started.
[*] E. Improved method to load severely damaged IFO files. (Silent Hill zone 2)
[*] E. Find BOVs has now a new option to do a deep scan (every 1 VOBU) when at least one BOV has been found during the first pass and the number of VOBUs to skip is greather than 1. When this option is on, it is now almost impossible to miss a BOV, even if the number of VOBUs to skip is high.
[*] E. Info -> Menu Button Commands: Added the BOVs as well in the output.
VOB cells without buttons or BOVs are not listed any more.
[*] E. Info -> PGC (in title domain), and PCG Params and Cell Tables: Added the number of BOVs per cell in the output.
[*] E. Miscellaneous little GUI enhancements. For example, it is now possible to switch the focus back and forth between the PGC selector pane and the cmd editor pane with the cursor left and right keys.
[*] E. Uses Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 and freeWrap 6.2 for the wrapped version.
[*] F. Open DVD: Crash occurring when a VTS without VTS_C_ADT table was read.
[*] F. The Title number of a multi-pgc Title was not assigned to the right PGC when the entry PGC is not the first PGC of the TTN. (Very rare situation.)
[*] F. The target PGC of the SetNVTMR command was ignored by the function to find the target of a command.
[*] F. Fixed some video standard and frame rate mismatches when creating a new VMGM or VTSM menu or the FP-PGC.
[*] F. Set DVD-Text General Name: Bug when there are more than 30 characters in the label and the VMG_TXTDT_MG table was not defined in the original DVD. This bug caused ImgBurn to ignore the label.
[*] F. Trace: The PUOs Watch window was not refreshed after a Restore State.
[*] F. Jump to Calling Command and Find Jumps to Nowhere GUI: The Refresh button did not work.


Plugins

[*] Update: Prohibited User Operations plugin v 1.4[list]
[*] v 1.3: It is now possible to selectively keep some PUOs when removing them from the VOB files.
[*] v 1.4: Bugfix: A wrong error message was displayed in some rare cases, when the end of a VOB file is padded with null packs.[/list]

[*] Update: Time Maps plugin v 1.1[list]
[*] Bugfix: The Verify Time Maps function crashed if it was called with no DVD loaded in PgcEdit.[/list]

[*] Update: VOBU plugin v 1.1[list]
[*] Added the option to modify also the VTS_C_ADT table.
[*] Added a way to select the sector number from the preview. (Requires PgcEdit v 7.5 and PgcEdit_Preview v 2.4)
[*] Added the "Reset to full range" button to quickly restore the original cell boundaries.[/list]

[*] New: Womble plugin v 1.0[list]
[*] Plugin to create .MBS and .MSL files for Womble MPEG Video Wizard DVD.
The .MBS files are necessary to open a VTST made of several VOB files in Womble.
The .MSL files are the Womble chapters/bookmarks lists (similar to celltimes.txt, but more complex.)
This plugin is useful only for the users of MPEG Video Wizard DVD.[/list]

[*] New: XiRON plugin v 1.0[list]
[*] Plugin to fix and modify DVDs created by a XiRON DVD recorder.
I wrote this plugin for me, to fix the numerous authoring errors of my cheap and very bad XiRON RW3HDD 80GB recorder.
I will probably NOT continue to develop it, and I provide no support for this plugin. Use it at your own risk!
This plugin is useless if you are not un unlucky owner of a XiRON recorder.

PgcEdit v8.1 released!

A. = Added feature
R. = Removed
E. = Enhancement
F. = Fixed bug
W. = Workaround
[*] A. File -> Menu Buttons & BOVs -> Import/Export All Menu Buttons and BOVs. Can be used to save and restore all menu button and BOVs definitions of the current DVD.
A "menubuttons.but" file is also automatically created in the backup folder each time a new backup is created. The BOVs are NOT saved if the VOB files are not automatically scanned at load time. This file is NOT restored automatically when the backup is restored.
It is possible to load the buttons file even if the VOB files are not present in the DVD folder.
Note: If you change the file type in the Import buttons dialog, you can also import a buttoninfo.txt file created by a well known program. However, as some important info is missing in this file, so DO NOT SAVE the buttons!
[*] A. Added "Help -> Check For New Version" and "Options -> Startup -> Check For New Version At Startup?" to automatically check if a new PgcEdit version is available and to download it automatically (and, under Windows only, to install it automatically.)
[*] A. Added "DVD -> Delete Uncalled TitleSets". This function is a lot faster than Delete Uncalled PGCs, but less efficient. Use it before Delete Uncalled PGCs when there are many uncalled Titlesets in the DVD.
[*] A. Added "Title -> PTT (Chapter) Editor", a new editor suitable to edit the chapters of not-one_sequential Titles (with chapters in several PGCs belonging to the same TTN.) The old editor is still available via the PGC editor, but cannot be used on not-one_sequential Titles any more.
[*] A. Added "Info -> Jumps from VMG to all VTSs". Basically, this new function is identical to Jumps from VMG to current VTS, but is handy to find all jumps to all VTSs, and to locate the VTS that are called only once.
[*] A. Added "Info -> Find jumps to void PGCs". A PGC is considered void when it has no commands (or only NOPs), no buttons, and no NextPGC link (or when it is out of range.) When a void PGC is played, the navigation stops.
[*] A. Added a check when loading the DVD to be sure that at least one Title is defined per TTN, and to create a new Title in VMG_TT_SRPT if necessary.
[*] E. When a DVD is opened, PgcEdit now checks if the IFO, BUP and VOB filenames are in upper case, and offers to rename them if necessary.
[*] E. The menu of the command editor is now context dependent. The illegal commands for the current domain and current pre/post/cell/button/BOV area are now greyed out. The last menu contains now only the valid jump commands for the current context, and has been renamed to "Jump to...".
[*] E. The illegal commands for the current domain and pre/post/cell/button/BOV area are now highlighted in pink in the main listbox and in the menu button viewer and editor. (The jumps to a non-existing PGC and the invalid GOTOs are now highlighted in orange instead of pink.)
[*] E. In the PGC Editor, the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links are now also highlighted in pink when they point to another TTN.
[*] E. Replaced the default system Yes/No/OK/Cancel dialogs by custom dialogs.
This is needed primarily as a workaround for a display problem under Vista, but the new method has several advantages. The user can now hide selectively some dialogs. As a consequence, the Expert Mode option has been removed, and is now replaced by two new options in Options -> User
Interface: Display Hidden Dialog Boxes During Current Session? and Restore All Hidden Dialog Boxes.
"Open yes/no/cancel dialog boxes under the mouse pointer?" allows you to open those new dialogs with the default button under the mouse pointer.
The content of the dialog can be copied to the clipboard via a right-click context menu.
[*] E. Save IFOs as: Now, the user can chose to compute the VTS sector pointers using the VOB files from the source folder rather than producing wrong pointers because there are no VOBs in the target folder.
[*] E. PsKill.exe is no longer necessary for Win9X users to abort the creation of the ISO image during the burn process. PsKill has now been replaced by the kill command of the TclX package. The (erroneous) warning about "potentially unwanted program" displayed by some picky antivirus should not occur any more.
[*] E. Added shortcut key CTRL-Q on Info -> Jumps from VMG to Current VTS.
[*] F. Kill PGC Playback: Some cell or button commands copied in pre-commands area were illegal in that area. They are now replaced by a legal suite of several commands.
[*] F. Some uncalled PGCs were not found by Find Uncalled PGCs and not deleted by Delete Uncalled PGCs.
[*] F. Clone PGC: When cloning a Title PGC and NOT creating a new Title number, the TTN number of the new PGC was increased, and the one_sequential flag was not set in VMG_TT_SRPT.
[*] F. Fixed some rounding errors in Rebuild Time Map on long NTSC Titles. Too many entries were created in the table.
[*] F. Fixed a little problem in Rebuild Time Map. The time map was not rebuild for PGCs shorter than 1 second. Now, the time map is rebuilt anyway, but is empty if the PGC is really shorter than 1 second.
[*] F. Rebuild Time Maps: Added a check for discrepancies in the SCR time stamps (sometimes caused by VobBlanker when a single cell is replaced by several cells with different VOB IDs.)
[*] F. Trace: The Break command in post-commands area was not handled correctly.
[*] F. Little bug fixed in Trace mode: SPRM(4:Title in volume) was not modified when a not-one_sequential Title was entered via a non-entry PGC.
[*] F. Little PGC comments bug fixed: The quotes of the PGC comment were not removed when a comment was erased from the PGC Editor window.
[*] F. PgcEdit Preview v2.5 (by Jeanl) included: Made a small change to make the preview behave better in VISTA.

New plugin:

[*] Play All plugin v1.0. It has 4 functions: "Create a new 'Play All' PGC from VOBs", "Create a new PGC with only unreferenced VOB cells", "Find unreferenced VOB cells in current domain" and "Find unreferenced VOB cells in whole DVD".
It is mainly intended to retrieve "unreferenced cells" (cells that are present in the VOB files but not used in the IFOs), to be able to include them again in any PGC.
Take care! The cell type flags of the generated Play All PGC might be wrong, as PgcEdit tries only to guess them, without analysing the VOB files completely.
Requires PgcEdit 8.1.

Updated plugins:

[*] DVDShrink plugin v2.2.
- DVDShrink is now launched in the background when the "Launch DVDShrink" menus are used. The exit status of DVDShrink is no more checked.
- Adapted to the new message dialogs of PgcEdit 8.1. Requires PgcEdit 8.1+!

[*] Time Map plugin v1.3.
- Fixed a little bug when the PGC duration is EXACTLY one second. Now, in this case, an empty time map is not considered any more as an error.
- The source DVD path was missing in the log of the Verify Time Maps function.

PgcEdit v 8.2 released.

Although there is a new function and several enhancements, it's especially an important bugfix release (notably for the Kill Playback function.) Get it!

A. = Added feature
E. = Enhancement
F. = Fixed bug

[*] A. Added "Menu -> Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default", a function to modify automatically the pre-commands of the current PGC with hidden menu buttons or BOVs to pre-select automatically a non-hidden button instead of the default hidden button. (In the menu editor, the adjacent button links of the hidden buttons have been improved also to be able to select a non- hidden button more easily with the cursor buttons of the remote.)
[*] E. If an IFO file cannot be opened or has not the right identifier, PgcEdit tries now to open the BUP file instead.
[*] E. When PgcEdit cannot load any menu button or BOV because the VOB files are missing or corrupt, and when a "menubuttons.but" file exists in the backup folder, in the VIDEO_TS or in the main DVD folder, PgcEdit offers now to load it automatically.
[*] E. When PgcEdit needs to write to a read-only file, it tries now (silently) to set the write permission to the file before writing.
[*] E. Menu viewer: Added < and > buttons next to the cells selector to easily select the previous or next cell without having to open the dropdown menu. (Those buttons are not available when the Preview -> Small Size option is ticked, and when there is only one cell in the PGC.)
[*] F. Kill PGC Playback: When the PGC has buttons or cell commands and GOTOs in the post commands area, the GOTOs were not renumbered correctly.
[*] F. Kill PGC Playback: When the cells with buttons were not removed because there are links in the pre-commands jumping inside the PGC, and when the PGC has been blanked, the button command was not executed. The button command is now added at the beginning of the post-commands area.
[*] F. Blank Out All Menu PGCs, with option to remove the VOB file: Now, if some cells cannot be removed due to links to cells inside the PGC, the cells are not removed, and the user can choose to blank them instead.
[*] F. Blank Out All PGCs (under Mac OSX): The command failed because the preview is not available under Mac.
[*] F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: When a PGC with chapters was removed in the middle of a non-sequential title, the subsequent chapter numbers were wrong in the GUI. However, the chapter table saved on disc was correct.
[*] F. Delete Uncalled PGCs was unable to delete the last PGC of the unreferenced titlesets when the option "Allow PgcEdit to add automatic comments in the PGC labels" was not ticked.
[*] F. All remapping functions (and functions using them such as Delete Uncalled PGCs): The trace mode is now closed automatically before applying the changes, as continuing to trace the modified DVD can cause bugs.
[*] F. Most of the search for uncalled PGCs, jumps to nowhere and void PGCs functions were broken in v8.1 when there is a Next/Prev/GoUp PGCN link pointing to a non-existent PGC.
[*] F. Trace: When the trace mode was opened automatically at startup and a jump to an non-existent PGC was executed, the trace mode crashed.
[*] F. Trace: The menu viewer was not closed when the trace was reset by clicking on the Eject icon, and it was impossible to close it manually.
[*] F. The output of "Info -> Menu Buttons/BOVs Commands" was incomplete if there is a menu domain without cells in the DVD.
[*] F. Fixed a little bug in automatic blanking of cells, when the cell cannot be added to the VOB file by PgcEdit: the error message was not displayed.
[*] F. Fixed some problems when computing the true end address of the tables.
[*] F. Fixed a little bug in autoupdate code. The final version was considered lower than a beta!


Updated plugins:

DVDShrink plugin v 2.3
[*] E. Removed the Cancel option in the dialog of Check Streams Remapping safety, as it was confusing and useless.

Play All PGC plugin v 1.2
[*] F. Calling Find unreferenced VOB cells in current domain with the FP-PGC selected produced an error.
[*] F. The last scanned VOB file was not closed after the process. It was necessary to close PgcEdit to release the lock.

Womble plugin v 1.1
[*] F. Fixed a bug in the generation of the default file name.

XiRON plugin v 1.1
[*] F. The PGC and GPRM user comments (if any) were not saved when the DVD was saved during Fix VMGM VOB IDs.

PgcEdit v8.2.1 released!

Sorry, Trace mode is broken in v8.2 when it is activated via the Trace menu. (The shortcut key Control-T and the toolbar icon worked as expected.)

Please download v8.2.1, that fixes this problem.

A. = Added feature
E. = Enhancement
F. = Fixed bug

PgcEdit v8.3 (June 18, 2007)
[*] A. PGC Editor -> CellTimes.txt has now a new option to generate the timecodes in the format needed by CCE (HH:MM:SS:FF instead of HH:MM:SS.FF).
[*] A. Added two items in the Help menu to open online web pages on the Regular Expressions syntax.
[*] E. Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default: Better warning or info messages when some cells cannot be processed or do not need to be processed.
[*] F. When trace mode was used before Delete Uncalled PGCs or Delete Uncalled VTSs, the Trace failed with an error message when the DVD was reloaded.
[*] F. Trace: a LinkPTT command caused sometimes the trace to stop working.
[*] F. Remap Title Numbers and Remap VTSs (and all functions using internally those functions, like Delete Uncalled PGCs or VTSs) failed when a VMGM cell with a button command that jumps to a target that must be remapped was reused. The remapping was applied twice, and the target was wrong.
[*] F. Replace VTST Titles: The VMG_TT_SRPT table (global Title Play Map table) was not updated when the titles were replaced, except when there were more replacing Titles than in the original DVD. However, opening the PGC Editor for a replaced Title had the effect to force the update of the table.
[*] F. Select a non-hidden button/BOV by default: The Links to the first cell, PG or PTT with HL_BTN parameter were sometimes converted to GOTOs, instead of kept with a new HL_BTN number.
[*] F. Command Editor: When a Set command was selected, its optional Link command was LinkNoLink by default, even when this link command is illegal in the current domain or pre/post/cell area. Now, the first legal link command is selected by default.
[*] F. Command Editor: It was possible to enter 0 as the TTN parameter of the JumpSS-VTSM command, and the illegal command was not highlighted in pink.
[*] F. Commands listbox: Any valid Set command with a legal RSM sub-command was highlighted in red in the pre/post commands areas.
[*] F. When some IFO/BUP/VOB file names are not in upper case on a FAT32 disc, they were not renamed to upper case due to an incredible Windoze bug!
[*] F. The PGC comments of the PGCs deleted by functions like Delete Last PGC or Remove Menu were not cleared, and were reused if a new PGC was created at the same location.
[*] F. The temporary files needed by PgcEdit are now created with an unique filename to ensure that no conflict exists with another instance of PgcEdit, and are usually automatically deleted after use.
[*] F. Under Linux, Options -> Input/Output -> Select Web Borwser did not work because it expected a filename with the .EXE extension. Sorry Linux fans!


Search and Replace plugin v2.0 (June 15, 2007)
[*] Changes to the original Search and Replace function:
[ *] It is now possible to specify #N fields in the replace string to copy the Nth. byte from the source string at that position. See help for details.
[ *] It is also possible to replace a specific byte by the result of a math expression enclosed in parenthesis and containing #N fields.
[ *] Added Presets menu to open or save the current Search and Replace strings.
[ *] Added the "Convert SetGPRMMD to Set" hardcoded preset as an useful example of %N substitutions and of the usage of the math expressions.
[ *] The last search and replace strings used are saved as a default preset, and loaded automatically the first time the GUI is opened.
[ *] It is now possible to work in PgcEdit when the Search and Replace window is opened. Handy to copy/paste commands.
[ *] The contents of the edit boxes are now selected automatically when they receive the focus.
[ *] The OK button has been replaced by a Replace button. Now, the Replace window is not closed any more when the "Replace" button is pressed.
[ *] Added a status bar in the window to display the number of replacements.
[*] Added the new function "Auto Increment" to increment some parameters of a list of several commands automatically. Very handy to create, for example, a list of commands to jump to a specific chapter, based on the content of a GPRM.

XiRON plugin 1.2 (June 6, 2007)
[*] The temporary INI file needed to launch VobBlanker is now created with an unique filename to ensure that no conflict exists with another instance of PgcEdit, and is automatically deleted after use.

PgcEdit v8.4 released!

E. = Enhancement
F. = Fixed bug

PgcEdit 8.4 (June 26, 2007)

[*] E. Important change in Tools menu configuration: %v is now substitued by the file name of the first VOB of the current domain (VIDEO_TS.VOB for VMGM or FP-PGC, VTS_##_0.VOB for VTSM if the file exists, and VTS_##_1.VOB for VTST.) Previously, %v was always substitued by the first VOB of the Title domain of the current VTS (VTS_##_1.VOB.) The new syntax is needed to launch DVDSubEdit from any domain, with the CLI argument: -F "%p\%v"
[*] E. The menubuttons.but file is now created in the backup folder only when some buttons or BOVs have been found in the DVD.
[*] F. Importand bug introduced in v8.3 fixed in the Command Editor: When editing en existing Set command, the link sub-command was sometimes forced to another link. For example Set ...; LinkPGCN 1 was forced to Set ...; RSM.
[*] F. A LinkNextPGC, LinkPrevPGC or LinkGoUpPGC command with its target PGCN being 0 was not considered as a jump to nowhere, and caused an error when using Find Jumps to Nowhere, Find Jumps to Void PGCs or Delete Uncalled PGCs or Titlesets.
[*] E. PgcEdit.exe for Windows is now wrapped with a patched freeWrap.exe so that its friendly name is "PgcEdit - IFO Editor" instead of "Tk DLL" and the version number of the executable is right.


DVDShrink plugin v 2.4 (June 25, 2007)

[*] Added the function "Fix compilation with 50 or more Titles" to fix the wrong FP-PGC commands produced by Shrink when there are 50 or more Titles in a compilation made in re-author mode. As a bonus, the Title menu button can be used to skip to the next Title.
[*] Fixed a bug in "DVDShrink Remote Buttons" when there are more than 63 Titles in the compilation and the GoUp button returns to the previous Title.


Search and Replace plugin v2.1 (June 20, 2007)

[*] When a command is copied from the menu viewer or editor and pasted as the replace string in the Search and Replace GUI, it is enclosed in braces. It was impossible to delete the closing brace before the opening brace.

PgcEdit v 8.5 released! (September 24, 2007)

[*] A. Added "Info -> Jumps from current VTS to VMG" and "Jumps from all VTSs to VMG".
[*] A. Preview option "Real Time Playback". Enabling this option can be useful to slow the playback down on fast machines.
[*] E. Kill PGC Playback: Improved detection of the potentially dangerous cell commands. As a consequence, some warnings are not displayed any more in some circumstances, and it is more often possible to remove the PGC cells.
[*] E. Import Menu: When importing a VMGM menu to a VTSM menu, PgcEdit converts now the Title Menu type to Root Menu, and vice-versa. A warning is issued when a Subpic, Audio, Angle or Chapter menu is imported in the VMGM.
[*] E. The DVD is now saved automatically after Import VTST Titles, Replace VTST Titles, Delete Last Titleset, Import Menu and Remove Menu, to keep the IFO and the VOBs synchronized on disc. An incremental backup is also made automatically after Import VTST Titles and Delete Last Titleset.
[*] E. Menu Editor: Advanced options modified slightly to be able to specify the currently selected button as the button to be activated automatically.
[*] E. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: When the first cell is created in a menu domain, the user is now prompted for its aspect ratio (4:3 or 16:9.)
[*] E. Modified PGC Editor -> Del Angles to be able to clear the "First ILVU End" values from cells when the angle flags and the interleaved allocation flag have been cleared manually. This makes possible to remove manually only some angle or interleaved cells in a PGC, and keep the other ones.
[*] F. PGC Editor: The coloured warnings and tooltips of the seamless joint flags were sometimes wrong in multi-angle PGCs.
[*] E. Command Editor and command disassembler: LinkNoLink requires a non-zero highlighted button. The editor doesn't allow entering a LinkNoLink command without a button any more, and the disassembly of the LinkNoLink commands generates now an <ILLEGAL BUTTON 0> error when the button is not defined.
[*] F. Delete Uncalled PGCs and Delete Uncalled VTSs: Fixed an important bug occurring when those functions were called after having used trace mode.
[*] F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: The Chapter tables were not assigned to the right titles when a title has been deleted before another one in the same VTS.
[*] F. Delete Uncalled PGCs: Fixed an error occurring when Delete Uncalled PGCs is invoked several times in the same PgcEdit session and needs to detete some PGCs in the same VTST domain each time.
[*] F. Trace mode: When playing a PGC in random or shuffle playback mode, the cells of the PGC were selected randomly instead of the programs.
[*] F. Trace mode: When a NextPGCN link was executed after playback of a PGC without post-command, the trace stopped with a Target Not Found error.
[*] F. Trace mode and highlighting of commands target: A LinkPGCN command in a title domain and jumping to another TTN was not considered as illegal.
[*] F. Trace mode, under Linux: The preview options "Close and Break Trace" and "Blank This Cell" were not working. PgcEdit_preview.exe v 2.6 has been modified to support those options under Linux.
[*] F. VOBU plugin: Fixed a bug in PgcEdit (introduced in v8.3) that prevented the selection of the start and end LBAs with the preview.
[*] F. Option "User Interface -> Play sounds with yes/no/cancel dialog boxes ?". It might be necessary to disable this option if PgcEdit hangs when displaying its dialogs on computers with dual core CPUs.
[*] F. Some little problems in Import and Export all Menu Buttons and BOVs when a titleset is deleted have been fixed. The useless information about the deleted VTS was still saved and loaded.
[*] F. Create ISO, under Linux: The file save dialog to select the output ISO filename was not working correctly.
[*] F. Set Menu Type: When using Set Menu Type to modify the position of a menu (such as the Root Menu) the Entry PGC flag was left on the original PGC.


DVDShrink plugin v 2.5 (August 2, 2007)

[*] Added "Enhance and fix authoring", a new method to assign navigation functions to the remote buttons (including arrow buttons.)
[*] Added "Make DVD completely region free", as DVDShrink still prohibits the regions 7 (reserved) and 8 (special intl. venues).
[*] Corrected some typos.


PgcEditPreview v 2.7, by jeanl (Included in PgcEdit v8.5)

[*] v2.7: Added key in the ini file (RealTimePlayback) to tell the preview to display videos at the normal video rate.
[*] v2.7: Fixed a bug in the display of the hours in the time-stamp of the info window.
[*] v2.6: Added a CLI option to pass the ReturnFilePath in the INI file. This is necessary to support the options Close and Break Trace and Blank this Cell under Linux.

PgcEdit v 8.6 (January 12, 2008)
[*] A. DVD -> Clear Jumps to Void PGCs, to replace the pre/post/cell commands jumping to void PGCs by NOPs and to clear the Prev/Next/GoUpPGCN links to void PGCs. Handy to improve the efficiency of Delete Uncalled PGCs and to remove automatically all references to a PGC if you make it void before.
[*] E. PGC Editor -> Del Angles: Since it is possible to keep several angles with FixVTS or VobBlanker, it is now possible to leave several angles in place. Previously, it was necessary to delete all angles but one.
[*] E. PgcEditor -> Import CLUT: It is now possible to import the colors defined in Scenarist .SST files. The colors that are not defined are not modified.
[*] E. When deleting a PGC of a non-sequential Title and that deleted PGC is not a dummy and has chapters, the deleted chapters were always remapped to some remaining programs. Now, the chapters are completely deleted when they are the last chapters of the title. They are still remapped when they are necessary to fill gaps in the chapter table.
[*] E. Delete uncalled PGCs: Now, when a Title PGC cannot be deleted because the menu of the same VTS is still referenced, the commands of the orphan Title are changed to a CallSS to the FP-PGC. This way, useless commands pointing to nowhere are removed.
[*] E. Find Jumps to Void PGCs: Added a warning with the void entry menu PGCs that can be called with the remote.
[*] E. Info -> GPRMs: Added a "Refresh" button to recompute the usage counts.
[*] E. Suppressed the warning displayed when a DVD is read about wrong time map tables then the VTS_PTT_SRPT table doesn't exist at all.
[*] E. Added the following hot keys:
- DVD -> Clear Jump to Void PGCs: Ctrl+Shift+J
- DVD -> Delete Uncalled PGCs: Ctrl+Shift+U
- Info -> Find Jumps to Nowhere: Ctrl+Shift+N
[*] E. Improved some error messages.
[*] E. When a DVD is loaded, PgcEdit checks now if the TTN number assigned to a title PGC is not 0, and if it is 0, it offers to assign the TTN 1 instead.
[*] E. When a DVD is loaded, PgcEdit checks now if all VOB files are referenced by the IFOs, and offer to remove the unreferenced VOB files. This solve also the issue of unnecessary VOBs left after a Restore Backup operation.
[*] F. The number of PTTs was not updated in VMG_TT_SRPT after the use of Title -> PTT (Chapter) Editor.
[*] F. PGC Editor: the number of PGs was sometimes wrongly incremented by 1.
[*] F. PGC Editor and Replace VTST Titles: When the number of programs of a PGC was modified in the PGC Editor and then, in the same PgcEdit session, that VTS was replaced by another one using the option to keep the data of the original PGC, the number of programs was wrong, and that caused the PGC Editor to crash.
[*] F. Trace: Bug when a button or BOV command did not include a jump elsewhere.
[*] F. Fixed a bug occurring when the PGC comments or GPRM labels have been modified, the DVD Text General Name contains a character illegal in a file name such as ":" and the option to automatically save the user comments in the backup folder was not enabled.
[*] F. Fixed a possible bug under Vista when Roxio and Macrovision Software Manager has been installed. The path to the Application Data folder was wrong.
[*] F. Fixed a possible bug with the length of the VTSI_MAT table when its end-byte pointer is (intentonally?) wrong. (Thanks Michael!)
[*] F. DVD-Text General Name: When creating a new VMG_TXTDT_MG table, an useless pointer was initialized. It is now set to 0.
[*] E. The standalone executable is now wrapped with freeWrap v6.3. PgcEdit should now start without problem under Ubuntu v7.10 Gusty.
[*] E. Added the possibility to specify the character encoding needed by some foreign systems with accented characters by defining the system environment variable PGCEDIT_ENCODING, or with the command line option /E=encoding or -e=encoding. Specify /? or -h to see a list of the available encodings. The default encoding is cp1252.


DVD Shrink plugin v 2.6 (October 3, 2007)
[*] Enhance and fix authoring uses now the original SetSTN commands defined by the user with the DVD Shrink option "Set Default Streams..."

Play All plugin v 1.3 (January 1, 2008)
[*] Bug fix: Error when creating a play all PGC from the VMGM domain.
[*] Bug fix: The check for the minimal version of PgcEdit was wrong, and the plugin was unable to work when the DVDShrink plugin was not installed.

Search and Replace plugin v 2.6 (December 31, 2007)
[*] Added the options to limit the action of the Search and Replace to a VTS range, to the menus or title domains, and to the pre, post, cell or button areas only.
[*] Bug: some commands were not replaced due to upper/lower case problems.
[*] Several bugs introduced in beta releases 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5 have been fixed too.
