Im having large problems playing a BR folder
from my HDD ,or as an iso .
( also tried it as an iso emulated in Daemon to
play in PDVD and showtime) properly
Almost everything goes w/out a hitch with
PDVD and showtime as a back up plan
But in what is the latest PDVD v8.0.2217.50 Ultra with
HD support ,Im told i need to update my player when i
load this file , showtime just sits and stares and does nada
when i load it
So i tried demuxing it with tsMuxeR_1.8.4(b) and
mkvtoolnix-unicode-2.4.1-build20081207-44.
Hoping to play it in another player .
The normal demux method works fine with another un related
BR folder on my HDD , but i feel the problem with this
peculiar problem flick is that it doesnt have the main
feature in 1 logical mts file , its spread out and not in
any logical order from 00000.mts to 00115.mts
with no 00001.mts file
So i cant load just one .mts file as in instructions ,even
if i could load all required .mts im not sure which are which
because of how they are all random .
Demuxing seems my only hope here , if atall , or possibly
just simply joining the mts files , because showtime will play
them ,but each one being only a few minutes long ,thats gets
to be a painful way to watch a movie
I ve even got desperate and tried several pieces of software
promising to simply join these files , Ie: Xilisoft Video Converter
Ultimate , which was a disater ( following instructions carefully)
I ve spent about2 days trying to figure this out ,and now
I reach out for some sagely advice
Cheers

First... the type of Blu-ray structure you are working with is call a "seamless branching" title, meaning the main feature is spread amongst several m2ts files. How they are played back is determined in the MPLS files in the PLAYLIST folder. Blu-ray players communicate with these playlist files to make the movie playback as one "seamless" transition. The benefits of these discs is you can have a "director's cut" and a "theatrical cut" on one BD, without having two complete movies consuming the entire disc capacity.
Download this file and unzip it. Then download this file and extract/move it to the first folder you did first... and run HDbRStreamExtractor from there. It will show you which MPLS file you should load in tsMuxeR to properly combine/demux and make as one file... instead of several.
Second... you do not need to hit "enter" at the end of the line when typing.

Thanks for an informed reply. now I know why its doe like that .Now Imfaced with another question , when rerrieving streams do I need toretrieve just the 1st in the list , or all of them ? I ask because each time I retrieve another it appears to overwrite the previous in the queue .
Thanks

OK I may be catching on , but remain in the darkness .
When i retrieved features and streams and hit extract
all i got was a txt logfile , so then I thought , maybe
the answer is in th 1st window ,and no need to extract etc..,
so i re read your instructions
Very helpful .
And reading the list Ie 00043.mpls ,00059.mpls etc , I figure
these are the files to load in tsmuxer ,but a problem arose
HdBrStreamExtractor shows a .mpls file 00043.mpls , being 1:42:59
in duration ,but neither tsmuxer nor myself when looking in stream
folder can find this 00043.mpls file .All other .mpls that stream
extractor shows are there , but this one .
This appears to be the main feature , Yipes , am I so daft or is
there a helpful answer ?
PS I may as well ask now as well ,how do I know which of these .mpls files to extract/load in TSmuxer once I ID them in stream extractor ?
Once again many thanks

Hi again
i just watched the movie in chunks so to speak ,it was painful but watchable . odd to find the whole movie was there , tho the logical numbering of the mpls files have expected numbers missing in between , Ie it can go from 00040 to 00044 , and continues like that .
Tho i was able to watch the movie , a need to resolve haunts me ,im keeping it on my HDD until i get this right . I hope you have more advice .
In a related topic , this all started with neither nero nor PDVD being able to play the actual BR files , as an emulated .iso or directly from my HDD , the error stated my Bluray player requires an update to play this disc , and am told to visit my player manufacturers website and follow their instructions to do such , but no such instructions exist in my search . I also have tried ArcSoft Total Media Theatre .v4.0.100 , and get the same message .
This makes me wonder , so I ask , what is this update I need and where do I get it ? Should I start a seperate thread on this issue ?
Thanks for all the help
PS excuse many typos in previous posts as my fingers are fat and I wasnt wearing my much needed specs .
