Redirect language DVD buttons to 1 language

[Jorchking]

I just added an Spanish audio to a DVD successfully. My main problem is when you play the DVD it gives you a choice of 2 languages: English and French.
I want to make those 2 buttons redirect to the Spanish custom audio with PGCEdit, but I don't understand very well how to do it.
(I think this is the correct VMGM)

VMGM , LU 1 (--) , 2 (0:00) 2b. - Chapters: n/a, Programs: 1, Cells: 1

10 Set gprm(6) =(mov) 1
11 LinkPGCN PGC 3
********** cell commands:

The English audio is 0, Spanish 1 and French 2. I swap between Spanish and French to make the French button play the Spanish audio. But I prefer both redirecting to the Spanish audio from that initial audio selection.

Also, how to skip that screen with PGCEDit? Would be OK making Spanish default and after inserting the DVD just going to the menu directly w/o going to that language selection screen. That could be more easy, but anyway would be to good know both ways.

P.S.: I've attached the IFO backup if the provided VMGM is not the correct.

The audio (and subtitle) is set by SetSTN. It can't be used in VMGM but is restricted to the VTS domain.

You could set it in the pre-command to the movie(s) like this:

and select the audio track:

doing that will ignore the language selection in the language screen when playing the DVD?

It can. If you add the command to change the language to Spanish as a pre-command for VTS 3, then it will override any menu selection you made previously for that video.

[Skiller]

Building up on this idea, you can make the menu buttons write a value to a suitable GPRM and then read out this GPRM in the pre-commands of the movie to play the correct language via some simple code logic.


For example.


[English button activated]

Set gprm(x) = (mov) 1234
etc...


[French button activated]

Set gprm(x) = (mov) 5678
etc...


[Pre-commands of the PGC]

(SetSTN) Set Audio Stream = 1 #default to Spanish
If ( gprm(x) != 1234 ) then { Goto line x } #execute the next line only if English was selected
(SetSTN) Set Audio Stream = 0 #Switch to English

[Donnje]

I want to replace the default audio, is that correct?
In streams attributes I have



Audio 0 = en
Audio 1 = fr
Audio 2 = in comment

default part in audio 0 = en
I would like to change it to Audio 1 = fr

I go to "15 (SetSTN) Set Audio stream 0"



and change to channel 1



Thanks

How do you check if it works?
Do not rely on VLC-Player, it does whatever it wants with DVDs.

in fact now it works so I think the procedure is correct, what do you recommend as an alternative to vlc?

[Skiller]

I was suspecting this might be the issue because the code is correct and does what you want.

PowerDVD is the only software player that behaves correct in regards to obeying almost all of the commands possible on DVD. Only downside is it's not free. MPC (Media Player Classic) is not as good but a million times better than VLC for DVD.
But sometimes it's also a good idea to burn to a rewriteable media and test on an actual hardware player. At least once, when you think you are done.

I don't know what's happening, now with VLC it starts in IT while with POWERDVD in English... creating the iso and mounting it same problem

[Skiller]

There is no need to create an ISO.
Since you want audio stream 1 (French) to be the default at all times, you can just add a new command line of (SetSTN) Set Audio stream = 1 as the very first line in the pre-commands section of all four titles (yes, it needs to be done for each). Change all the other original SetSTN commands into NOPs.

I entered for all the titles, but I didn't understand how and if I have to add a new line, this is the situation
sorry for my bad English

Click on the first line (1), then click on "Add before".
There is now a new line at the top that says NOP.
Click on "Edit Cmd" and then Alphabetically -> SetSTN.
First line must say (SetSTN) Set Audio stream = 1

Click on all original SetSTN lines (except the ones for the subtitles) and turn them into NOPs by clicking on "Edit Cmd". Alphabetically -> NOP.

Repeat for all four titles.



Hope this helps.

it works,great
I left the line of sub 6 and 8 as you told me, do you think it's right?

[Skiller]

I left the line of sub 6 and 8 as you told me, do you think it's right?

No, that's not right and not what I said. You should only turn the two audio related SetSTN commands (original lines 13 and 15) into NOPs, not the entire pre and post-commands section.
This will break a couple of things for sure.

Technically, just adding the new SetSTN command at the top should be enough to do the trick but turning the original (audio) SetSTN commands into NOPs is just for safety.
