ADude Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Hi ! I have a fully authored DVD, with a very nice chapter menu that I would like to keep. But, the chapter points were done wrong, and do not end up at the right points. I know that I could simply take the main video and re-author it from scratch with a new menu and chapter points, but I would like to keep the nice chapter menu and only change the points in the video where the chapters go. Is there any way to do this? Thanks ! (Actually, I have a couple of DVDs with this problem, from downloading DVDs made by fans from unreleased materials.)
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Not with this program. Try PgcEdit. http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/
dbminter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Without creating new video streams with new chapter points in them, which would mean creating or recreating the menus to accomodate them, I don't know of another way to do it. It might be possible to use IFOEdit to go in and change the Chapter markers, but, I'm not very familiar with IFOEdit. I would think the Chapter information has to be somewhere in the IFO's, because they control how the player deals with the combined audio/video stream, since it's a single unit.
dbminter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 One of these days, I need to give PGCEdit a throw around and see what it's all about.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 dvdremake might be able to do it. I'm pretty sure it can split cells so maybe it can also split chapters.
dbminter Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I thought of DVDReMake, too. But, I thought its splitting ability wasn't very precise, though. That it was more of a guess based on where you placed the cursor. I also though you could do a split but you'd have to remember that the number of chapters would "double" while the number of Chapters on the menu would remain static. Something the user would have to remember/know ahead of time/keep in mind/figure out.
ADude Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I looked at PgcEdit and it can edit the Chapter list and the Menus. However, I still have to actually change the CELL-IDs in the VOB files themselves, because someone along the way reset them all to be "1". If I use VOBedit, I have to scroll down through dozens of pages to find each Navigation point to edit the CELL-ID. Is there any program that can just bring up the CELL-IDs so they can be edited ?? Thanks ! Edited April 9, 2006 by ADude
ADude Posted April 10, 2006 Author Posted April 10, 2006 What about VobBlanker? That's an interesting piece of software, but it seems to get all its information from IFO's rather than the VOB's themselves. I did a web search and this question has been asked about half a dozen times in the past in various DVD/Video Forums and there is never a reply.
