Support forum for DG Tools

Thank you for your test results, gonca. If a player can open an MPLS and play it, then DGDemuxGUI will be able to use it for preview. I don't know if Vdub2 can open and play an MPLS, but I doubt it. Why don't you try it?

VDub2 cannot play mpls directly

Wow, Rocky. Thanks so much for making my dream a reality. Kisses.

Load a disc into DGDemuxGUI
Select playlist
Select preview
If config points to a media player all is good,
but if no media player is there then preview button stays highlighted for a while and then returns to normal.
Also, finished.wav and MVCCombine were not included

I'm not too concerned, but you're right, we need a check for that.

Fixed, thank you. LICENSE file too.

Oh my! Dreams are consuming me and filling my head with silly ideas. Like this one: highlighting an M2TS file in the M2TS list, right clicking, and selecting Preview. Now we can see the pieces of the playlist and so so easy to see how things are put together.

Music is my heart and my soul, but I am a dreamer!

Ah, Britney. Ethereal genius.

Here is a test version with M2TS preview. It works like this: If no M2TS file is highlighted in the M2TS list, then the preview button previews the selected MPLS. If a file is highlighted in the M2TS list, then the preview button previews that M2TS file. Here is a little bonus: If you double-click an M2TS name it will select that name including the leading + (if any). But the + will be stripped off. So you can just double-click a name and hit preview, without worrying about the leading +.

It's pretty slick, don't you think, Brit?

Slicker than owl poop, as we say down South. Rocky, you are a sweetie pie, and a fast coder. Thanks so much!

Do you plan to support DVD structure too?

I have a DVD with multiple episodes, made of a multiple VOBs but seen as a long video:

CHAPTER00=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER00NAME=First episode
CHAPTER01=00:04:53.280
CHAPTER01NAME=
CHAPTER02=00:30:26.760
CHAPTER02NAME=
CHAPTER03=00:33:50.600
CHAPTER03NAME=
CHAPTER04=00:45:02.440
CHAPTER04NAME=
CHAPTER05=00:47:59.240
CHAPTER05NAME=
CHAPTER06=00:55:30.600
CHAPTER06NAME=Second episode
CHAPTER07=00:57:47.880
CHAPTER07NAME=

CHAPTER12=01:29:50.320
CHAPTER12NAME=
CHAPTER13=01:36:22.920

CHAPTER14NAME=Third episode
CHAPTER15=01:54:19.760
CHAPTER15NAME=

CHAPTER16NAME=
CHAPTER17=02:23:46.720
CHAPTER17NAME=
CHAPTER18=02:35:20.920
CHAPTER18NAME=

How can I split it according to episode subdivision?

Sorry, there are no plans to support DVD.

Handbrake? PGCDemux?

Oy, got a scare today. Fired up my DGDemux project and Visual Studio failed to load it, saying it is "incompatible". Tried right click and 'Reload project". Now it said application not found. Crikey. Google revealed like 50 different possible causes. Gonna be a shitty Saturday, but got lucky. Was looking at the installed extensions and saw one called "Get Xamarin" (not the actual Xamarin just some shill extension). Looked up Xamarin and it is something useless for me. So I deleted the extension and restarted VS. The project loaded. So MS sneaked this little thing into the install. I never asked for it. And it broke everything! All's well that ends well, I suppose.

Apparently, Xamarin sucks anyway:

I rescued all the DG products because I got lucky. Let that sink in, guys.

And that is why I don't allow Windows to update automatically, breaks too many things on occasion

One can pause Win 10 updates for only 7 days. So not quite the same.

Actually, one can stop them for as long as desired, which I do.
Tired of chasing down which fix/update broke something on my system

Crikey indeed.

I wonder ... class action available for micro$oft to pay for your time in finding and fixing it ?

Just disable Windows Update service (wuauserv).

Just found that MakeMKV has a manual mode, handy indeed.

Ha ha! Our esteemed admin's previous career has been discovered:

Wow, admin. You can really dance! Kisses, Brit.

Oh, such a whirlwind. First Boltzmann told me it's all about distributions and then Newton told me it's all about initial conditions. Who to believe?

Anyway, I re-based my speedup code on slipstream 43, which seems pretty stable. I still reduce demux time for the video from 3:26 to 0:58 for a representative disk. I would like to put the code back under an INI option so that it doesn't diverge from the main line again. Is that all right, Rocky?

Distributions and initial conditions are the same thing. There is no abstract distribution divorced from a specific sampling of reality, and such a sampling can itself be taken as a set of initial conditions given at a specific time.

Go ahead and integrate your stuff (use Commit on the VisualSVN pulldown). When you have everything supported, we can publish the INI setting so that our great users can test it out. 3:26 -> 0:58 sounds great. Git 'er done!

What Bullwinkle said.

Let me guess:

Speedup=0/1
