Rivergate Software Inc. - makers of DVDAfterEdit

The following items were fixed since the last of the beta releases:

1. It was found that cells could have duplicate angles, for example if there were three angles, two of them could use the same physical angle cell. We had not allowed for this case, now it is fixed.
2. The Tracer remote buttons were expanded to include four new buttons: Skip to first Nav Pack, skip to Last, skip to next, and skip to previous. All of these operate within the current video preview selection. Also the Play/pause button now works properly, and some issues with playing cell stills were resolved.
3. Import now requires that a VOB file to be imported must exist within a valid VIDEO_TS folder, which is necessary for the import to work properly.
4. If the VMG VOB was deleted, it was not possible to add back a dummy VMG menu. This has been fixed.
5. The suffix ".image", as created by Sonic, is now recognized as a disc image for Pre Mastering format/copy purposes.
6. Tracer now checks the region code in SPRM 20, and warns you if the DVD would not play in that region.

The following are known bugs:

1. The program will not open certain Hollywood Seamless Branching releases, such as "Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition", and Alien 2004 "Quadrilogy" box set, Pal region 2 versions. This is because they use a method that, while it does not technically violate the DVD Video Spec, was unexpected and not allowed for by the program. This error will never come up in DVD's authored by by commercially available authoring systems.
2. Tracer drops out of "Run" mode and video preview when an auto-execute button-command is accessed, or the computer's numeric "Enter" key is used.
3. Import VTS may cause a crash or corrupted build in a few limited circumstances ( eg. very short angle blocks exist )
4. Tracer may crash when attempting to navigate to a non-existent PGC
5. Typing in the Format/Copy dialog disc name and related fields does not work as intended.
6. Sometimes when attempting to Format a new DLT tape, the message "Media in tape drive unrecognized" or "Format Failed" will be seen. Some workarounds are suggested here:

   "Media in tape drive unrecognized"

7. The "Include Mac ROM Data" in the mastering preferences is not correctly saved.
8. Choosing DLT as the Source of a Compare operation on a dual-layer project may cause a failure even though the tapes have been written correctly. Workaround - always choose the DLT drive as the Destination for compare operations.
