9.4 (December 22, 2024)
The final 9.4 release is finally available! Enjoy!
Unless important bugs are discovered, this is probably the last version.
PgcEdit is now freeware again (but donations are still much appreciated!)
As a consequence, the nag screen and protection have been removed.
Check out also the new PGC2MKV plugin.
A. New Verifier, to search the whole DVD or the current domain or PGC for
authoring errors. (Requires to register to enable its full power.)
A. Added Edit -> Split Conditional Cmd to split a single conditional command
(except GOTO) to a conditional GOTO, the original command without the
condition, and a NOP. Useful to insert new conditional commands.
Shortcut: Control-Shift-S, or right-click on the "Move Down" button.
A. New function Title -> Remove Duplicate Title Numbers, to remove all title
numbers assigned to the same TTN but one. (Previously, this had to be done
manually by editing the Title Play Map Title and by re-launching PgcEdit
for each dupe.)
A. PGC Editor/Celltimes.txt: Added an option to output the chapters as Simple
MKV Chapters format.
E. Major change in terminology: "Track" is now used instead of "stream" when
the virtual audio or subpic track number (as defined in Domain Tracks
Attributes) is referenced. "Stream" is still used to reference the real
audio or subpic streams in the VOB file. This is to avoid the confusions
introduced in the DVD-Video specs, and to be compatible with mpucoder and
muxman's terminology.
E. Improved the speed of some functions, and particularly of the GUI refresh.
E. Improved detection of authoring errors. The PGC editor should not crash
any more when an IFO table is missing or too short.
E. Now, when no Title is associated with a TTN, PgcEdit offers to create it
when the DVD is loaded.
E. Verify All Time Maps Coherence now verifies also if there are not too many
entries in the time map (max 2048).
E. PGC Editor: The PgcEdit's Colour Map file in text format has been slightly
modified to be compatible with the BDSup2Sub INI format. The Import and
Export dialogues supports now the INI file extension.
E. Added an option to include all menu VOBs in the ZIP backups, regardless of
their size. (Title VOBs with BOVs are still skipped.)
E. Some changes to implement the Colourblind plugin.
E. Some DVDs with many problems were very slow to load due to the number of
messages in the log. Thanks to M_Knox, they load now much more faster!
E. Highlight and Remove Dead Commands improved. It should now detect most
dead commands that were not detected previously due to backward GOTOs.
E. Fix Number of Tracks in VMGM/VTSI_MAT Tables disables also automatically
the audio and subtitle tracks in the dummy menu PGCs.
F. Error when deleting a stream in Domain Stream Attributes.
F. When quitting the Menu editor, some hidden buttons were sometimes included
in the warning about buttons unacessible with the remote.
F. Target of CallSS/JumpSS_VMGM_PGC to a PGC greater than 255 was wrong. See
See: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1540964
F. Remove Dead Buttons and BOVs was assuming wrongly that buttons in cell 2
where dead if the duration of the first cell was < 1 second.
See: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1543688
F. SPRM 8 was not updated if a button was forced in a menu cell too short for
the user to select a button.
See: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163739
F. The dead commands were not highlighted after having used Decr/Incr GOTOs.
F. Vista/Win7: Bug when running PgcEdit for the first time in a protected
folder.
F. System sound files were not played under Windows when a dialog was opened.
(Currently, they are not played under Linux.)
F. Tcl/Tk bug: the popup menus were often opened at the top of the screen
under Windows Vista and 7.
F. Under Vista & Win7, the main window was often not deiconified after having
launched a tool from the Tools menu with the option to iconify PgcEdit.
F. Big bug when deleting the last PGC of a menu with several LUs containing
different numbers of PGCs, and the user answered Yes to the question "Do
you want to delete the last PGC in all LUs?"
F. Several functions needing to retrieve the content of the clipboard crashed
when the clipboard was empty or did not contain text data.
F. When a DVD is loaded and a VTS has no Title in the VMG_TT_SRPT title, a
new Title is created automatically, but the number of PTTs was always 1.
F. Impossible to close the windows when Find Jumps to Nowhere was called from
Go To Calling Commands.
F. Find Jumps to Void PGCs and Go To Calling Commands bug when the First-Play
PGC is void.
F. Removed the CBR/VBR information in Domain Track Attributes. See
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=160711
F. Target of JumpSS to Title Menu not found when the command was in a VTSM LU
greater than the number of LUs of the VMGM.
F. Bug in new function "Remove Duplicate Title Numbers" when there are titles
assigned to non-existing PGCs.
F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: crashed when a new menu VOB file must be
created and the user cancels the operation.
F. PGC Editor -> Create New Cell: The number of buttons of the PGC containing
the new cell was not displayed in the PGC selector when a new menu VOB
file has been created.
F. Trace mode: The default target menu LU for a CallSS is now the "undefined"
LU, or the first LU if there is no undefined LU.
F. Added a check when loading a plugin to ensure that it has no syntax error.
If it fails, it is simply ignored, and an error message is shown.
F. Several minor bugs fixed.
F. Fixed wrong special Windows directory names when using PgcEdit on foreign
PCs using a different system codepage than cp1252. Removed the useless
codepage CLI argument.
F. Set UL language code used a wrong null code for "undefined".
F. Crash when loading a DVD with a NL character in the DVD-TEXT General Name.
F. Includes some workarounds for random crashes and slowdowns under Win 11.
H. Some modifications for compatibility with some new plugins.
