Macrovision RipGuard Issues

Hi All,

I have recently been made aware of a potential issue with AE and the latest version of RipGuard and I was hoping for some help.

I supplied a project for replication that was flagged for CSS and Macrovision Type 2 - RipGuard to be added at the factory.

The replicator contacted me saying there was a problem and that RipGuard could not be applied.

Making the remote "Next" or "Skip" work in a project

Hi guys

I have a release I'm working on where after the legalese and logos there're 3 different trailers that couldn't be skipped.
I ok'd all the UOPs on each one, and I can jump from anyone of them to the Menu, but I cannot make the Next or Skip button work.

Different UOPs on same VTS chapters possible?

Hi

I have a VTS with two videos that needs some surgery: first video, first chapter, is the usual FBI-like legalese logo. Second video, second chapter, is the Antipiracy videoclip. The client wants all UOPs forbidden (except stop) on the first chapter, and some UOPs permitted on the second (like Skip, Stop, and some others)

Replace VTS causes crashes

Hi,

I'm having a problem with continual crashes of DVDAE. What I want to do is replace one VTS with another one in which I have removed a logo. The thing is though, that whenever I select the command "Replace VTS" the software crashes. I have tried with different VIDEO_TS folders as well as on my MacBook.

I'll paste my latest crash report below.

Modifying a all-in-one VTS DVD

Hi guys

I've got an old DVD to modify, which has just one VTS with everything in it, in 12 different PGCs.
PGC 2 is the one I need to replace with the new logo and warnings. So far I've compiled the new VTS to my client's liking,
and I've imported into the project, so that now it's a 2-VTSs project.

Errors from big Studio masters

Hi guys,

I've received a bunch of Universal Pictures DVD+R DL's authored by them. All I need to do is to apply CSS flags and supply DDP files to a local replicator.
But when I create DDP files in DVDAE 3.0.5.d2 I see all kind of strange messages in a log.
There are particularly worrying messages:
NavPack with inconsistent button group navigation corrected.

Reuse of DLT

I thought a thread on this came in one day but can't seem to find it out.

Button Group Display Type

I was wondering about the options available for this feature. Using DVDSP, I'm used to see the first three (Normal, Letterbox, Wide) and since it automatically creates the different groups for different display, I never had to play with this feature.
