I was replying to a thread in the DVDSP discussion group:

Someone was having issues using SPRM 7 within a story. After doing some tests, it turns out that DVDSP references the original PTT in a story. In other words, if some were to use PTT 2,5,9 in a story, SPRM 7 will report 2,5, and 9 as it passes each PTT in that story.
Is this a DVD spec thing or a DVDSP thing. I thought if you created a story it would be like creating another TT in AE then stuffing it will available cells? I did a test in AE and it didn't do this. SPRM 7 reported PTT 1, 2, 3 in order. What gives?
EDIT: The DVDSP simulator is reporting 2,5,9 in the story while the SAME Disc in Tracer reports 1,2,3 for SPRM 7
Just curious-

Bug In DVDSP's Simulator
I figured the same - Thanks Guys!
It turns out DVDSP's Simulator seems to reports the cell ID from he original track for SPRM 7. This is for a story only - SPRM 7 works fine from the original TT. Kinda of a big bug if you ask me
Eric
Good point
Bigotti is right - since stories have their own title number and are one_sequential, they must have chapters numbered 1,2,3... so Simulator must be showing the wrong thing. You can easily find out by looking at the Program Map for each PGC - Tracer should just reflect whatever values are reported there.

Every (one_sequential) title
Every (one_sequential) title holds his own Time Map.
Every title holds his own PTT list (contiguous from 1 to x, coincide with PG order in PGC for one sequenial titles)
Not familiar with DVDSP, but if stories are different titles (as playlists in maestro) their time maps and PTTs are independent from the movie track (dont know how it is called in DVDSP) so behaviour of AE is correct.
Sorry Ian I meant to
Sorry Ian
I meant to say...When you create another title in DVDSP or Scenarist or AE and stuff it with cells from another "track" does SPRM 7 reflect the original's time map? Hope I'm on the right track here.
Eric
Actually...
"Known issue" is a polite phrase for a bug... this is a problem with Tracer, not DVDSP or the spec.
Ian
Thanks Ian So this is a spec
Thanks Ian
So this is a spec issue then? Not DVDSP?
Eric
This is a known issue
Hi Eric,
Please see item 3 in the Release Notes. Sorry for the inconvenience...
