Yeah... but I indeed DID drop a pre-compressed m2ts back into the structure, and I DIDN'T do ANY of that complicated stuff and it worked!

Generally a bad idea. There are references to specifics of that m2ts in other parts of the BD structure. It usually shows up in problems fast-forwarding, rewind, or chapter jumps. Sometimes it might even cause a lock-up.

@ jdobbs RE: It usually shows up in problems fast-forwarding, rewind, or chapter jumps.
I just did a rebuild of JW Chapter Two and the original rip plays fine but the BD Rebuilder version no longer displays the PiP "Pop-up" menu. I even tried to drop-in the rebuilt m2ts files into the "original" blue ray folder which just locks up playback. I wonder what BD Rebuilder changes that breaks the chapter selection pop-up?

I'll pick that one up sometime in the next day or two and give it a test.

Bummer... Well, good to know. Perhaps, I just got 'Lucky' this time. I will check the burn more carefully. Fortunately, it is fairly rare for an Xtra to be larger than the 'main movie' file, in this case a single episode.

Of course, if one could specify which playlist is to be used as the main movie file in a full backup.... (cough... cough...)

As I wrote previously, it would not have have worked if you would have burned a disc and tried to play it in a software player, or a hardware player.

BDRB only looks at the M2TS files, not the other files that make the structure playable, as BDRB rebuilds those other files. That is why it worked.

That's not true. In fact BD-RB modifies any and all files that are affected and need to be updated by a reencode. But only if BD-RB does the reencode (it can't know when someone is dropping in other replacement files).

That title has some unusual protection. It has playlist obfuscation but something else is at play. I was able to make a "movie only" BD but was unable to make a 720p MP4. The picture was really messed up. Screen would go black or white and pixilate. I even used the movie only structure (it used the correct playlist) to make the MP4, with the same results. For whatever reason, Clone BD was able to make the MP4 using the movie only structure. I don't normally use Clone BD because of its limited subtitle support for MP4.

Oh, but I DID burn it my friend, and it (seemed) to play on my OPPO just fine. That's what I've been telling you

Hmmm, maybe that's the key...

Remember, I did use BDRB first to compress the 11 Gig Xtra down to about 2.6 Gigs. Then I took that one m2ts and put it back into the full Blu-ray structure and replaced the previous 11 Gig m2ts. Then I used BDRB to process the entire disc as I normally would. So, however that worked, BDRB accepted the 'whole disc' and processed it even though I had substituted the BDRB processed m2ts back into the original structure.

So, YOU would certainly know better WHY, but for whatever reason, when BDRB 'read' and processed the entire modified structure, it didn't get tripped up by the fact that the one m2ts had been replaced.

Of course, once it was done processing the entire disc it obviously had altered everything within it as it normally would. Now, I don't know if it would have made a difference if I had just processed the m2ts file independently using x264 with a CMD line. Maybe since I used BDRB to process the file first it saw it as 'friendly'...

Jdobbs,

I would like to say your software, though you claim it to be still in Beta after all these years, is THE best compression program I've ever used for Blu-ray! I've even compared in the past, screenshot for screenshot, against the likes of DVDFab more than a few times. It can't be beat as far as I know!

And this begs the question, why have you not went retail with this software? I know I will piss off many in this thread and those who've come to rely on your software wholeheartedly and as a backup. I'm just curious why you think it's not ready for primetime?

Because I can tell you now, I can run down an almost endless list of big name companies who make software with FAR MORE bugs than I've seen in this thread!

Ah, yet another clever but transparent ruse by JD...

And, to think that one of our revered Heroes would stoop so low...

Wait, what? Are you insinuating that I'm jdobbs? It's gotten to that point now? Wow... I've been away too long!

This is who I am...

Yes, something else is going on. I ran both a BD25 and a BD9 movie n menus (blanking extras) and both have problems with the menus. When trying to play a specific chapter the movie always starts from the beginning, and at the end of the movie both hang and don't return to the main menu. I tried both again as Full Backup and the menus still don't work correctly. Might have to go the movie-only route with this one too unless you can come up with a fix...

Again, very clever...

I took the liberty of using some very advanced, cutting edge face-recognition algorithms on your profile photo. You take away the Afro, turn the face white, and add a whole bunch of wrinkles, and you have JD...

You do not modify the two other files that go with a M2TS if you do not do the re-encode? Interesting. I thought you rebuilt all of those files, no matter what.

I misunderstood. I thought you were playing the BDRB backup version, not the BD structure before doing the backup.

I tried doing that once by using tsmuxer to make a M2TS file and put it back into the BD structure and it would not play. It was not liked at all by my player.

That might draw the attention of HollyGreed. They do not like anything that gives the appearance of being able to do backups of their product, even though BDRB doesn't do encryption breaking and is not technically in violation of the copyright act, which allows owners to back up their media. The DMCA says otherwise, but the difference has yet to come up in the courts,

I don't quite understand what you mean here, sorry...

Also, as per your post after this one, I played the resultant Blu-ray after I re-inserted the shrunk m2ts file back into the original BD structure (37 Gigs) and then processed the entire structure with BDRB to render a final BD25 disc that played just fine.

Like I mentioned in a post before, I MIGHT have gotten away with it because I used BDRB itself to shrink the 11 Gig Xtra so that it would then be smaller than the 'main movie' file, which in reality is the one episode on the disc, so that THEN with a smaller sized Xtra, BDRB would THEN rightly recognize the one episode RATHER than what would have been the larger Xtra as the 'main movie file' That way, when I processed the altered version of the BD structure, I could then use 'fast encode for Xtras' and leave the lone episode untouched. That was my primary reason for doing this. Otherwise, untouched, BDRB would have recognized the 11 Gig Xtra as the 'main movie file', and then using 'fast encode for Xtras' would unfortunately shrink the episode while leaving the 11 Gig Xtra untouched.
