(done 3.4) Debugger/Interpreter/Simulator

I personally would find very useful to be able to simulate an edited DVD, at least navigation through menus. If you could add something like a debugger to trace pre/post/cell commands, with a watchlist to audit values of the variables, you would be opening this software to people with programming skills but with no idea of DVD structure. Thanks anyway for the great job, Khonshu.

Hi and welcome to the forums Smile

I think it's on the to do list but not in the very near futire but it would be useful to some some use Mark's Tray DVD player to watch the values but you cannot pause it and it's not 100% correct but it's the next best thing

The most recent PGCEdit has a very nice trace function (interactive debugger). Its quite sophisicated. Its better than Marks tray DVD player in that you don't have to play throught the entire video sections. Break points, step mode and so on. PGCEdit has come a long way quickly. I think its trace (interactive debugger) is perhaps its best and most useful feature. PGCEdit also has menu (command) edit capabilites and is becoming quite the Swiss Army knife of DVD editing.. Dimad you need to look at its trace when you get some free time. Wink

Certainly, I think that at the very least we need a simulated player to test our DVD structure edits. It would go something like, we have an icon and/or menu option "Simulate Player". A dialog box then opens up allowing us set the player (Region settings, default language etc.) and it runs through the IFO structure as if we were running a Player like PowerDVD. If I can run through the navigation menus and see where the first play takes me depending on player settings, I could save a considerable amount of time. At the moment, I have to export the DVD and then run through PowerDVD to see that I'm getting the result that I'm trying to achieve. If it's not right, I have to make changes in DvdRemake and export again. I don't have the fastest computer at the moment so the export wastes a lot of time.
