Added: I'm done audio alarm using two wav files: DoneOK.wav and DoneKO.wav.
Improvement: Detection of ILV-ed Cells in KEEP mode with automatic activation of Fix VOB internal pointers phase. Very useful when stripping angles.
Improvement: Detection of angles reading the PGCs in the IFO, instead of trust VIDEO_TS.IFO Titles table. Number of angles modified to one in all PGCs of a processed VTSs.
Changed: Blank auto now keeps the PGCs with duration longer than 85% of the longest one. Useful for episodic DVDs
Changed: Using last version of DVDPreview
Changed: Disabled loading a PGC in Tiny in the case of multiple selection
Changed: Statically linked mfc42. Seems wine did not work with shared dll

Improvement: Playing a PGC in the preview automatically changes the Cell at the end of the current one
Improvement: Some improvements opening the preview window to show the previous (if any) selected frame
Improvement: Motion2still: Some improvements, mainly in motion2still w/o audio (I hope I didn't break anything). Now the output is much more similar (probably identical in motion2still w/o audio) to menushrink one.
Improvement: Motion2still: Changed Highlight status to 1 in nav still. Thie value should be there, but in some rare cases could not be set in the original.
Changed: Registry keys and project keys re-organized in sections in a more clear way. VobBlanker automatically deletes the old keys, but a manual deletion of all registry keys is recommended. Can be easily done with the reg files included in exe zip.
Changed: Default values changed to yes in "blank cells w/o buttons" in motion2still and "Clear audio/subs status when blanking" in menus domain.
BugFix: Playback tables cell flags and still times are now modified depending on how the cell has been processed, instead of how the PGC has been processed.This should be the same for non reused cells, but in the case of reused cells the previous method did not work at all.
BugFix: Video Attributes (resolution) were not correctly mapped.
BugFix: Replacing reused cells failed
BugFix: Some minor problems in menu final size estimations
BugFix: Subs SYNCI pointers: In the case of two subs in the VOBU, was pointing to the second one instead to the first one.

BugFix: Motion2Still: Fixed the case when the subs appear two VOBUs before the buttons (Star Wars I japanese version).
BugFix: Two bugs in Motion2Still in titles domain.
BugFix: Extract cell button was disabled if more than one cell were selected. Also, as an improvement, added an abort button...
BugFix: Disappearing buttons issue: Not found the root cause, but coded a walkaround (little dirty, BTW).

BugFix:VTS substreams list was wrong in the case of more than 8 subs
BugFix:The warning if a cut was going to create orphan subs was not always issued.
BugFix:SMART GAPS were not created in case of a 18KB IFO
Vers 2.1.2.0b8 (-11-2006)
Added: One Sequence Title PGC checking
Added: SMART GAP: If configured, VobBlanker guarantees the gap creating (if needed) creates an empty menu of a calculated size that guarantees a different ECC block and 1/2 turn physical separation. The menu is made by one unreferenced blank cell and padding packs. This allows the user to burn with Nero using the smart gap trick
Added: Default folders configuration (output, input and auto-save)
Changed: VobBlanker automatically saves the log and project files if auto-save folder is configured.
Improvement: VobBlanker is now faster when input and output folders are in the same hard drive. (i.e checking "Use Input folder"). The improvement depends on the HDD and how it is configured. The diifference could be minimum or more than two time faster depending on the HDD
Improvement: TMAPTI is always created from scratch. Entries are created to all PGCs even the Non one-sequence-title-PGC ones, Only the ones shorter than one sec (usually dummies) will be empty.
Improvement: The messages detecting pointers mistmatch now show the detailed list of cells
Improvement: TMAPTI entries accuracy improvement.
BugFix: TMAPTI end byte was not always the last byte of last entry
BugFix:Deleting ADT & ADMAP menus tables in menus (when deleting all the cells) IFO was not compressed, and ADT & ADMAP title tables were not moved to previous sectors

Added: Multiple Cut. Cutting at cell level is now supported, so up to one cut per cell can be done per process session.
Added: Cut cells capability in MENU domain.
Added: Added some shortcuts in Main dialog Menu
- Menu Still all PGCs with audio
- Menu Still all PGCs w/o audio
- Menu Delete all no buttons PGCs
Added: Re-run is now allowed without reload the project if "Use input folder" was not checked
Added: Error checking in writting process (if disk full, i.e.). Also added a check on the available/required disk space before start processing.
Added: I'm done audio alarm using two wav files: DoneOK.wav and DoneKO.wav.
Improvement: Detection of ILV-ed Cells in KEEP mode with automatic activation of Fix VOB internal pointers phase. Very useful when stripping angles.
Improvement: Detection of angles reading the PGCs in the IFO, instead of trust VIDEO_TS.IFO Titles table. Number of angles modified to one in all PGCs of a processed VTSs.
Changed: Blank auto now keeps the PGCs with duration longer than 85% of the longest one. Useful for episodic DVDs
Changed: Using last version of DVDPreview
Changed: Disabled loading a PGC in Tiny in the case of multiple selection
Changed: Statically linked mfc42. Seems wine did not work with shared dll
Changed: Default of Autostart Tiny changed to False.
BugFix: TMAPTI Overwrites next sector in some cases of wrong input IFOs
BugFix: Loading "Process Titles" setting from project file was broken in 2.1.0.
BugFix: Setting to default values in main dialog were the old ones (not updated)
BugFix: Combinations of Reusing Language Units and deleting/blanking the reused LUs did not work well
BugFix: Copying Audio Attributes when replacing did not work in some cases
BugFix: Abort button in cells dialog did not move when resizing
BugFix: All PGCs were always shown as non-ILVed.
BugFix: Decoding the subs (to get their duration) failed in some cases, and an additional bug decoding wrong sub commands caused VobBlanker to hang in an infinite loop
BugFix: Audio and subs attributes were not updated in VMG_VTS_ATRT of VIDEO_TS.IFO when copying the attributes from a replacing PGC. Now, VobBlanker always copies all the attributes (audio/video/subs) from the processed VTSs in menus and titles domain to this table of VMGR.
BugFix: Copying audio/subs attributes when replacing a PGC did not copy all of the attributes
Changelog v2.1.0.0:
Added: Title PGCs and Menu Tiny preview in main dialog. Note: New settings to configure tiny preview including one to disable it have been added (Disable Tiny can be useful in slow PCs).
Added: Ability to fix SRI and SYNCI pointers in Menu domains.
Added: Split-Cell ability in Titles domain. Splits a Cell and can add a new Program and a Chapter. Multiple splits (in different cells) are allowed ion the same process session
Added: VID/CID renumbering ability. Selected as default instead of filling the VID/CID sequence with blank cells.
Added: Motion2still accepts external I-Frames, from a VOB or bmp. bmps are converted using MuxMan.
Added: Drag and Drop in preview pane (used in motion2still)
Added: Tools menu to select external tools and Temporal folder
Added: html links in Main Menu to homepage and guides
Added: Registry key with the Version
Added: Detection of ini/end cell pointers out of range.
Added: VOB files FullScan: used to get the right cell ini/end pointers
Added: Detection of cells in PGCs not listed in C_ADT tables
Added: Detection of pointer mismatches between C_ADT and PGC tables.
Added: Detection of possible orphan subs in cell split and title cut.
Added: Check if any offset is out of IFO range (C_ADT, M_C_ADT, C_ADMAP...). If yes, issue a warning and change it to zero.
Added: CLI options to run minimized (-min) and to run a fullscan (-scan). If scan is selected in CLI the related errors loading IFOs are skipped.
Added: Menu option "Save project" added ("Save project as" was already there).

Improvement: Playing a PGC in the preview automatically changes the Cell at the end of the current one
Improvement: Some improvements opening the preview window to show the previous (if any) selected frame
Improvement: Motion2still: Some improvements, mainly in motion2still w/o audio (I hope I didn't break anything). Now the output is much more similar (probably identical in motion2still w/o audio) to menushrink one.
Improvement: Motion2still: Changed Highlight status to 1 in nav still. Thie value should be there, but in some rare cases could not be set in the original.
Changed: Registry keys and project keys re-organized in sections in a more clear way. VobBlanker automatically deletes the old keys, but a manual deletion of all registry keys is recommended. Can be easily done with the reg files included in exe zip.
Changed: Default values changed to yes in "blank cells w/o buttons" in motion2still and "Clear audio/subs status when blanking" in menus domain.
BugFix: Playback tables cell flags and still times are now modified depending on how the cell has been processed, instead of how the PGC has been processed.This should be the same for non reused cells, but in the case of reused cells the previous method did not work at all.
BugFix: Video Attributes (resolution) were not correctly mapped.
BugFix: Replacing reused cells failed
BugFix: Some minor problems in menu final size estimations
BugFix: Subs SYNCI pointers: In the case of two subs in the VOBU, was pointing to the second one instead to the first one.

BugFix: Motion2Still: Fixed the case when the subs appear two VOBUs before the buttons (Star Wars I japanese version).
BugFix: Two bugs in Motion2Still in titles domain.
BugFix: Extract cell button was disabled if more than one cell were selected. Also, as an improvement, added an abort button...
BugFix: Disappearing buttons issue: Not found the root cause, but coded a walkaround (little dirty, BTW).

Improvement: Multiline tooltips
Improvement: Main window coordinates automatically saved/loaded
Changed: New exe, smaller, linked with MFC42 as shared dll. This seems to fix the missing buttons problem in some computers. As a drawback, Linux users (using wine) will need to put the library mfc42.dll in the same folder than VobBlanker.
