Button Delay Tool

I have made a very BASIC tool to delay the button highlights.
If you do not know how to use <a href="http://www.ifoedit.com">VOBEDIT</a> then you should NOT download
this tool. It simply reads the navagation packets in the VOB file and
clears the HIGHLIGHT STATUS field from the start of the file to the
timestamp you specify (in hours minutes seconds, sorry it is not frame
accurate).

The tool does NOT split the VOBID into cells as mentioned in previous posts
from me. This was too complex for me to automate with the few free
minutes I have during the week. Programs like <a href="http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/dvdlabpro.html">Mediachance's DVDLab Pro</a> ($200)
does a much better job as it allows you to loop back to the point
where your buttons appear. I hope this will be in Sony's next DVDA release.

The tool is a command line program (sorry might make a GUI later)
that your enter the vobfile to edit, hours, minutes, seconds timestamp to
clear up to.

Example: if you want your buttons to appear and become active 14
seconds into the first menu, you would type:

btndelay c:\video_ts\vts_01_0.vob 0 0 13

The program displays the navigation packets it finds and fixes for you.
Later use the LBA numbers on the left to fine tune with VOBEDIT.
It does not look at specific VobId's.

You download the tool AS IS with no warranty and you assume all risks.
Support will be VERY limited. Use it only on files you can recreate.
Enjoy.
