DVDAE error message, since upgrade to DVDSP4

Question

Hi,
I just checked my projects for errors with the Demo version of DVDAfteredit. There I got the following errormessage for all projects i builded with DVD_SP 4:
#PGC Command Errors
#PreCommands from "Subpic-mapping»Video Title Sets»VTS 1»VTSM 1 Menus»Deutsch»VTSM PGC 59"
12:     GoTo Line 15
* Line value too large. Only 14 instruction lines in Pre-Command Area.
The error occurs on 7-8 different PGCs aleways in this VTS.
I didnt had this error on projects build with DVD SP 3.
As i see, DVD SP internal scripting is building a "goto" command that is jumping behind the last line.
As i dont understand the whole script, i dont know when this wrong goto command might be executed and how to correct this.
I believe a cheap programmed Player may fail when it comes to this command.
Can someone confirm this error, or better direct me to a solution?
As i have DLT deadline in 2 days im a bit frightened about that thing. (I dont want to think about the yet replicated discs...)
Thanks,
Matthes

Answer 1

Thanks Matthes,
I agree with Aldershot. It sounds to me like it is just a DVDSP issue. I wanted to know if myDVDEDit agreed with DVDAE, and it does, so that clearly rules out any mistake that might have been made by DVDAE. In essence, you got a second opinion, and they both agree.
Sounds like something in the project upgrade, or just the build got lost.
What does the script mean, is another question. The GoTo command is a way of nesting multiple command strings within the same script.
For example:
If r0==1 Goto10
If r0==2 Goto20
Now, I might have two somewhat unique scripts that start on line 10 and on line 20, and I don't want to execute both of them, just one of them. So I create a condition based on a register value that will execute either one of these two scripts based on the value of register 0, aka r0.
GoTo is actually a command you can learn, and use within DVDSP's own scripting capabilities. So it's actually in your user manual as well. Many spec commands do not exist in Apple's DVDSP script IDE, but Goto does exist there. As you learn to script, you will sometimes run into a situation where one set of script commands doesn't actually perform the duty you would like. You will create an IF THEN approach, and that is what Goto offers. It allows me to split a script in multiple scripts, all within the same larger script.
That's a bit abstract to think about, but I hope it makes some sense.
