PgcEdit is a DVD IFO and Menu editor designed to allow the modification of the navigation commands and parameters of an already authored DVD structure. PgcEdit is also an excellent tool to learn how a DVD works, with his powerful Trace function. PgcEdit is also the first program able to burn a Double Layer DVD-Video, with an interactive interface including a preview, to select the position of the layer break.

Version history:
9.2 (February 16, 2009) View entire changelog E. Thanks to M_Knox, there are now nice looking new icons in the standard "yes/no/cancel", "please wait" and "donation reminder" dialogs. E. Delete Uncalled PGCs did not delete some PGCs considered as unsafe due to multiple sets of buttons/BOVs, even if all PGCs containing the multiple sets of buttons/BOVs were uncalled. F. Delete Uncalled PGCs deleted the uncalled PGCs that were NOT safe to delete due to multiple sets of buttons/BOVs when ALL uncalled PGCs were unsafe! E. When Go To Calling Command finds no jump to the current PGC, the PGC is now automatically marked as . F. Go To Calling Command: Bugs when the function was launched several times without closing the result window fixed by M_Knox.Thanks! E. Delete PGC and Kill Playback (with option to remove the cells) in menu: When all remaining PGCs in the menu are dummies, PgcEdit offers now to delete the menu VOB file and remove the VOB tables from the IFO. E. Delete Uncalled PGCs improved for speed. E. Info -> GPRM has now an option to search for the commands containing a GPRM in "All", "Read" or "Write" modes, so you can now, for example, find if a GPRM is used in read mode only, but never initialized by a Set command. E. Info -> Multiple Sets Of Buttons/BOVs: added a summary with the list of all PGCs containing multiple sets of buttons/BOVs. E. Info -> Multiple Sets Of Buttons/BOVs: When the option "Command Editor -> Allow PgcEdit to add automatic comments in the PGC labels" is ON, the comment "" is now added to all PGCs containing multiple button sets. F. Fixed some typos, and renamed "Exit Domain" to "Exit State". F. After having loaded a Scratchbook file in the scratchbook, the sub-menu of Append To Scratchbook (with the scratchbook sections) was not updated. F. Trace mode: When playing a multi-angle cell, PgcEdit was unable to identify the correct angle cell to play (except for angle 1), and issued a warning. F. Trace mode: The Menu Viewer was not close...

posted as free software. but shows meddling nag-screen at startup until registration which comes around $10-15... functionality is superb, though it may take some (more) time to get to it thoroughly.

Just an excellent tool to have. If you know how to use it can be your best friend.

Use this tool only for creating proper dual layer DVD (layer break) file structure and paired with IMGburn, you have a winner. Have not had one problem with dual layer DVDs since using this tool. Before PgcEdit, it was a real crap shoot with CopyToDVD and RecordNow.

Yeah, the pskill.exe is the genuine Sysinternals version, not the fake one used to launch parasites. Took me less than a minute to find that out, when a trojan scan gave me a false positive on it. Anyway, PgcEdit is very powerful. Used in conjunction with DVDDecrypter, it produces the ONLY 100% compliant rip of a structurally protected DVD. That is, a rip without any residual "junk", and fully valid structurally. The latest version automates the process to a great extent. As to PgcEdit's other uses, well, it's not for n00bs. Hell, it's FREE, and I for one am grateful to the creator(s). I give it a "10" across the board, even for "Ease of use". If you know what you're doing, it is laid out quite conveniently. If you don't know what you're doing, learn it or move on to something else.

About the virus problem: There are -of course- no viruses in PgcEdit. Some extremely picky anti-virus programs are reporting a potential risk when using this program, because a function to kill a process is included in the executable. This function is needed to kill mkisofs when the user aborts an ISO creation process. It is never used for something else. Anyway, it is not a virus. You should learn how to use your anti virus program before posting such false affirmations, and maybe also use a better anti virus, a bit less anal.

Very good tool for advanced users but is way too complicated for the average user.You need to know a lot about the DVD structure ect... to be able to use the full potential of this tool. If your as intelligent as a brain surgeon get it,if not then it isn't worth downloading!

I just scanned this with my AntiVirus program and it reports the presence of a "RemoteAdminProcedureLaunch" virus. Why has no-one else picked up on this?

Very easy to learn , and dead simple to bypass the annoying error message of "no more free gvm's" . Cant recall what it was exactly , but it only took me 2 minutes to figure out the problem and get rid of it .. those dummy menu items cause it . The button feature needs alot more work , its getting there though . Overall its got alot going for it in the fact its free .. All the compilation titles I have put together have been burned using imagetools , another freeware , and there has never been so much as a blink in the playback .. There all perfect . As for a guide on how to biuld a compilation dvd using movie previews and game previews , you'll need to pm me to get it , it's in pdf , webpage , and two other formats created by using wink . It will be online over the next few months , just very busy with programing another tool that simplifies alot of video process's , especially those related to avisynth , which is needed . Yes , the guide is designed for newbies who might find it over their heads , and gose from raw video to final dvd product , step by step , so they can take their time , and end up without making a mess of things . And strictly deals with using ONLY freeware ... Just making newbies happy ...

I never wrote any comment in this website but I believe this tool worth it to write one, I think if person(s) who made this tool need a award for that and I think if menu editing added and some DVD authoring and modifying vob files added to this it will be even more perfect. However I must admit that there is no other tool better than PGCEdit out there in sense of power, update, price (FREEEEE) and most of all its open source, (even though I dont know TKL) but I think you must try it and you must learn it and contribute to it. Thanks to the vendor

Between PgcEdit and DVDRemake I think it is possible to do anything with an existing DVD! PgcEdit has a fantastic debugger for those hard to understand programming problems.

Pgcedit is an amazing tool. Granted, it's not for the novice (although it's a great tool to navigate the DVD structure and understand virtual machine commands and playback flow), but if you know a little bit about DVD, there's virtually no limit to what you can do with this! I have used it to - bypass annoying material (FBI warning, previews etc) - bypass unwanted menus (for example, aspect-ratio) - select a default language/subtitle different than the original one. - add a menu to a menuless DVD - generally fix the way the DVD navigates (for example DVD authored with TMPG DVD Author) The program is now very stable and has tons of features, and some macros to do some useful modifications (like "kill playback" of a whole titleset). The only thing it misses is a preview window. It's by far my favorite tool when it comes to changing the way the DVD behaves.
