The PgcEdit Guide associated with this discussion thread is currently being updated and a link for the updated version will be added here in due course.
 
The current DVD and previous downloads work fine but there are a few technical errors that I prefer to correct.
 
There are also a few of illegal commands that I used, not realising that I could be shot for such an indiscretion.
 
The revised guide should be available by the end of April.
 
There is a new version of PgcEdit, out today, and the changes will be reflected in the updated guide.
 
The new version makes it impossible for us to use illegal commands and will be a great help for those of us with limited knowledge of DVD standards.
 
Your views on the posted guide and sample DVD files, are most welcome.
 
Geoff

I've already had a peek at it in the DVD player at home (the kids just brought it in and I had to look at it right away )  How did you do those cubes? Is that with Hollywood FX?

I also took a very quick peek at the guide.  I had to leave for a meeting right now I but I had to have a look and then post a great big thank-you to you for all you have done!

It looks like you have put it together in a way that even I can understand it.

Thanks Geoff!

I used Air Mail.  I was amazed that it only cost £1.66, about $3.  It should have arrived Wednesday, so it did rather well.

Yes it was Hollywood FX.  There are two rotating, and orbiting, in the Austrian Intro clip.

I have not yet had time to post an explanation due to all the problems that I had with the download anomaly, that turned out not to be a file problem at all.

I intend to state that I shall be pleased to respond to any queries concerning content if anyone is interested.

Geoff
 
PS the PAL DVDs will be dispatched shortly.

More than enough to do what I need. 		Hi Geoff,

I'm at work at the moment, but I downloaded and unzipped the file without any problems. DL time about 28 mins.

I'll take a look at the contents at home tonight.

I thought that it was my DSL setup that had given me the problem.  But proof was what I needed before including the PAL and Public versions.

I will try and get them set up today.

This is one very impressive piece of work that you have produced.

Thank you very much for the time and effort that you have invested in this project.

Thanks for your very kind comments.

I downloaded the PDF guide and had a look at that as well.

Presumably that was just the three page guide to the basics of what can be seen and done with the working DVD.

The main 110 page document is included on the DVD in PDF and Word format.

There is a lot more that could be included in respect of the video content, but I decided to leave that for this discussion area, if there turns out to be any interest. 

'Discussion' area, that sound stuffy.  Fun and interest is hopefully what it is about.

You don't realise of course that here in the U/K a closet is somewhere you bung old things that you may one day need, but otherwise just leave and forget.  

Only joking of course, I realise that in America meanings are frequently different.  But it did make me smile.

The DVD arrived today - thanks very much.

At first glance, I am stunned at the amount of work you have put into producing this project, and I look forward to spending some time (probably a lot of time) following it through and learning how to use PgcEdit properly.

Don't expect to see much of me on the forum for the next few weeks - I will be far too busy studying the guide. Altogether, it looks like a monumental achievement for you.

Thanks for your posts.  I hope that you enjoy using the guide.

I shall may have limited time and access to a computer from 10th to 19th April.  Therefore there is a small risk that I may be delayed in my input during that period.

Status: online 		Feedback update.

The DVD instructions may not be clear enough in regard to which files are to be used initially with the guide.
The DVD is a working sample.  That is; by placing it in a stand alone DVD Player the DVD functions as it is intended to do upon completion of all the guide modifications.

To use the guide it is necessary to access the DVD as if it were a data DVD.

The files are all in sub folders in a main folder called 'PgcEdit Guide Sample', that should be copied to the Hard Drive.

The original Video_ts folder is to be found in the sub folder 0_Original.
DO NOT use the Video_ts folder in the DVD Root Menu, seen at the bottom of the image, as that is the Video_ts folder the DVD uses to playback the working sample.
Those files contain the completed version.

Before starting the guide the Video_ts folder in the 0_Original folder should be copied to the 1_Working Sample folder.

PgcEdit is then opened and the Video_ts folder in that 1_Working Sample is opened.

The 2_Main Menu to 5_Coding folders are initially empty and are there to hold completed modified Video_ts folders as one proceeds through the guide.  That way any mistakes don't mess up all the modifications to date.

The guide explains this as one proceeds, but there is a possibility that the first stage was not all that clear.



I have over simplified the description to hopefully avoid any ambiguity.

The Download versions are the same except for the need to copy an additional file and burn a DVD RW to view the contents.

The latest PgcEdit has now been created, this Latest Version 8.1 can be downloaded using this link.

The new version makes it impossible to use illegal commands.

Many of my guide images are not quite accurate anymore and I am updating my guide accordingly along with a few corrections to errors that I made.

I would suggest using the new version in tandem with my guide.
