TitleWriter 4.72 - *** Update 31 July 2008, ***

[tetsuro_ja]

The highlight seems to be wrong.

I think so.

Line 4 of pre-commands in (dummy) ChapterMenu

4  Set gprm(6) =(mov) ??

should be changed to

4  Set gprm(6) %=(mod) ??

[dirio49]

I think
commnad 4 should be

  4  if ( gprm(6) > N ) then { Set gprm(6) %=(mod) N }

If Set gprm(6) %=(mod) 6 is set all the time, than if you a have a chapter less than N, the button chosen with ever be button 1 or 6.
and you only need mod, when you have a chapter larger that N.

Peace
Edit:
LOL the result is the same a having just Set gprm(6) %=(mod) N. ( I am not a math genius i guess )

Yes I changed makedvd.bat
I fixed crash associated with buried spaces in path -- But forgot that change

[FallenAngel]

Uploaded 6_5_2

Seems to work better -- Added the MakeDVD.bat this time

[jinjin_jp]

Uploaded 6_5_2 doesn't have error no longer.

Regards.

Dirio_49, Tetsuro_ja
This time I'm just just the secretary. I'm letting you guys run with this.
Hint -- It can be simplified

Tetsuro_ja were those ifos (Muxman) pre TW (those are the ones I need to look at)

[dirio49]

@FA,

Thanks.
I am fine either way as long as it works.

BTW now the original menu seems plain, because if you got the chapter menu it just takes you to the first one. .

Again thanks.

Edit :
I went and modified the original Menu.

BTW if you want to change how you create your Chapter menu, and use cells instead of PGCs. Here is the new code (the number are changed because I used it for my original menu )

   1  Set gprm(3) =(mov) sprm(7:Chapter number (or PGN)) 
   5  if ( gprm(3) == 0 ) then { Set gprm(3) =(mov) 1 } 
   6  Set gprm(4) =(mov) gprm(3) 
   7  if ( gprm(4) > N ) then { Set gprm(4) %=(mod) N } 
   8  if ( gprm(4) == 0 ) then { Set gprm(4) =(mov) N} 
   9  Set gprm(4) *=(mul) 1024 
  10  (SetHL_BTN) Set Highlighted Button =(mov) gprm(4) 
  11  Set gprm(3) +=(add) N-1
  12  Set gprm(3) /=(div) N
  13  if ( gprm(3) == 1 ) then { LinkCN Cell 1 } 
  14  if ( gprm(3) == 2 ) then { LinkCN Cell 2 } 
  15  if ( gprm(3) == 3 ) then { LinkCN Cell 3 } 
  16  if ( gprm(3) == 4 ) then { LinkCN Cell 4 } 
  17  if ( gprm(3) == 5 ) then { LinkCN Cell 5 } 
  18  if ( gprm(3) == 6 ) then { LinkCN Cell 6 } 
  19  if ( gprm(3) == 7 ) then { LinkCN Cell 7 }

Dirio --

I'm already using gprm4 as the resume switch.

I'll stick to ptt's -- thats what they are there for

Heres the code I tinkered up

1 Set gprm(5) =(mov) sprm(7:Chapter number (or PGN))
2 if ( gprm(5) == 0 ) then { Set gprm(5) =(mov) 1 }
3 Set gprm(5) +=(add) N-1
4 Set gprm(6) =(mov) gprm(5)
5 Set gprm(5) /=(div) N
6 Set gprm(6) %=(mod) N
7 Set gprm(6) +=(add) 1
8 Set gprm(6) *=(mul) 1024
9 if ( gprm(5) == 1 ) then { LinkPGCN PGC 2 }
10 if ( gprm(5) == 2 ) then { LinkPGCN PGC 3 }

[dirio49]

No problem.
i the Gprn numbers where what i used for my movie(original).

in there just in chase you change how you create your menu.

[FallenAngel]

Just uploaded 6_6

But heres a wrinkle -- It seems kmplayer and mplayer are not resetting gprm7
on VMGM (or new VTS) Showtime does and so does Pgcedit

Everything works fine if its reset BUT
ambiguous if the next movie selected has less chapters then the last Movie chapter viewed
I'm guessing nothing will be highlighted -- Hmm Can't see a way around it
I'm fairly sure all hardware players reset it

[blutach]

What is gprm(7) used for in TW? Why would a player reset a gprm?

If you are talking about SPRM 7, it is reset on first entry to a new title (or a jump to PTT).

Regards

[tetsuro_ja]

Thanks for TestBed6_6.
I will try TestBed6_6 from now.

I also found an issue in processing about sprm(7).
How is the following method ?

After line 1 "Set gprm(5) =(mov) sprm(7:Chapter number (or PGN))",
add one line "if ( gprm(5) > TC ) then { Set gprm(5) =(mov) 1 }".
(TC is the total number of chapters in each title)

This method is not yet perfect.

How about the next solution.

1  Set gprm(5) =(mov) sprm(4:Title number in volume) 
2  if ( gprm(5) == TN ) then { Goto line 5 }   // TN is actual title number
3  Set gprm(5) =(mov) 1 
4  Goto line 7 
5  Set gprm(5) =(mov) sprm(7:Chapter number (or PGN)) 
6  if ( gprm(5) == 0 ) then { Set gprm(5) =(mov) 1 } 
7  Set gprm(5) +=(add) N-1   // N is the number of chapters per page
8  Set gprm(6) =(mov) gprm(5) 
9  Set gprm(5) /=(div) N
10 Set gprm(6) %=(mod) N 
11 Set gprm(6) +=(add) 1 
12 Set gprm(6) *=(mul) 1024 
13 if ( gprm(5) == 1 ) then { LinkPGCN PGC 2 } 
14 if ( gprm(5) == 2 ) then { LinkPGCN PGC 3 }

[FallenAngel]

Yes Blutach I meant sprm7
and thats what I thought also --- But i'm seeing that jumping from vts movie root to movie selector to another Vts root to scenes would not reset sprm7 --no title played
Tetsuro_ja
yes I thought of that -- No far from perfect
hmm how about setting gprm 6 to say 54321 on movie link back to vmgm and ttn post command
then the test would be
if (g6==54321) g5=1; else g5=s7; -- (DVDAUTHOR coding)

Yes I think that does it since the Movies button is the only way back --
Damn --I should have seen that hours ago
It starts scenes clean in all cases

Tetsuro_ja Just saw your edit -- the big question is is sprm4 being reset in the above situation --from what I'm seeing in some software/hardware players the answer is sometimes--- Still no ttn content entered
I'll run with the above trick

[FallenAngel]

Damn -- only works the first time you enter scenes -- same problem if you exit scenes to main then back to scenes.
I'll test the sprm4 and see if its more reliable -- if not I think I'll have to think about removing the whole Highlight last chapter trick --its just to shaky

edit
Sprm4 seems better kmplayer and mplayer seem to like it. and 2 hardware players
though I seem to remember using this trick before when testing for resume status and powerDvd choking

edit And two other hardware players crashed and burned

Can't see a way around it without the ability to reset those sprms -- Unless someone can come up with a viable way I'll have to remove it

[dirio49]

Dirty solution but it works, you just skip
2 Set gprm(5) =(mov) sprm(7:Chapter number (or PGN))
since you reset Gprm 4,if you click menu Because if Gprm 4 is zero, then you never played that movie
also we have to reset Gprm 5, probably in the place same we reset Gprm 4
