Freeware PgcEdit v0.6.0 released with a huge changelog

PgcEdit, a very powerful IFO and Menu editor for already authored DVD's, has been updated to version 0.6.0. This new version has a massive changelog, reason why a part of it will be listed above. According to the author, PgcEdit is the first program able to burn a Double Layer DVD-Video on DL DVD+R or DL DVD-R, with an interactive interface (including a preview), to select the position of the layer break. This new feature seems very neat, and might be interesting to see how it works!

I'd just like to remind you that this great application is free and open source (GPL licenses), so feel free to do your own hacks!

PgcEdit v0.6.0 changelog:

 

  • Burn DVD / Create ISO support for Double Layer DVD+R and DL DVD-R:
    - The method allow the user to select the layer break in a wide range of cells (actually twice as wide as the 'standard' method)!
    - Added a GUI to specify the Layer Break cell.
    - Added menu "Options -> Burn / Create ISO setup" menu to call the Burn Setup dialog directly from the main window.
    - The Burn Setup window has been modified to include, among other things, the capacity of a single layer DVD and of a double layer DVD.
    - New starter app for MacOSX (v0.5a), by Pucklock, including mkisofs 2.01 (needed for the Create ISO function.) Thanks to Pucklock! Note that this new starter app starts the X11 version automatically instead of the Aqua version.
  • Removed the original link to DVD Decrypter's homepage in the Burn Setup dialog because this page is discontinued, and may be monitored by "a major DVD company". Replaced by a direct download link at VideoHelp.
  • Utilities -> Remap Title Numbers function to renumber the Titles. The references to the Title numbers in the VMG are automatically updated.
  • Utilities -> Delete last VTS in DVD function. Use this function only when the last titleset is not referenced!
  • Info -> Find Jumps To Nowhere function showing commands and PrevPGCN, NextPGCN or GoUpPGCN links jumping to non existing PGCs or Titles.
  • Calls Cross References: Added listing of jumps to nowhere references.
  • Added an option to display the PGC labels as text in the context menu of an empty line of the PGC selector.
  • Added shortcut Control+P to launch the PGC Preview.
  • Added the first step to implement plugins for PgcEdit in the future.
  • Added an option to change the default listbox background color to white when running PgcEdit under X11. (Linux, and MacOSX with Tk-X11 only)

This new version seems very promising and it's completely free of charge! Go grab a copy at PgcEdit website and start testing it!. The application is not very easy to use as it requires a good knowledge about the DVD structure. If you're looking for help and/or would like to share your opinion with other CD Freaks users, please do it in our Video Edit Software forum.
