TUTORIAL TOPIC: SCRIPTING
TUTORIAL TITLE: UNDERSTANDING SPRMs
 

A DVD player continually tracks its ongoing operation in a group of memory registers called System Parameter Register Memories (SPRMs or “spirms”). The status of the player’s operation (i.e., which track is playing, what audio stream is currently selected, the last menu button selected, last chapter marker passed, and so on) can be read by script commands that access the SPRMs. Unlike the generic GPRMs, SPRMs have very specific predefined functions...

TUTORIAL TITLE: UNDERSTANDING SPRMs
 

 

Every DVD player contains 16 General Parameter Register Memories (GPRMs, or “germs”). Similar to RAM in your computer, these are generic memory locations the player can use like a scratchpad to read and write information while it is operating. Scripting gives you to access 8 of these GPRMs, numbered GPRM 0 – GPRM 7. The remaining 8 are unavailable for scripting purposes. GPRMs have no specific preset function – any GPRM can be used for a particular function in one disc, and then may be used for a completely different function in another project. You will find that you will use GPRMs a LOT in Scripting. They are extremely powerful, and very versatile.

Creating Script command lines is simple, but using them repeatedly is easier now that there is a Copy and Paste function in the Script Command Editor. This feature was added in DVDSP 3, so it is now possible to COPY and PASTE command lines within Scripts, or from Script to Script. Don’t forget that you can always create a tiny kernel of a script and save it as a Script Description file, which can be re-imported as many times as needed, and modified to customize it. ...
