Yes. IMHO that should not make a difference. The two examples are 1 sec black clips added to the end of various videos. Pretty stupid, since they could have just encoded the 1 sec of black as part of all the files and just added a chapter mark at that location.

The 1 sec black doesn't need to be recoded, only the longer videos that use it. The non-recoded file will work in the playlist. The min-size setting should be honored, no matter what.

If there is a way to make it do that, please let me know.

In BD_RB if 1 file in a mpls has to be encoded then all the files will be encoded, if I remember correctly.

This keeps common specs (level etc) for all the files in the mpls.
Prevents possible playback issues, I guess.

In regards to the 1 sec black clips, I genuinely can't believe how many movies have them. I'd like to find a way of removing them as I have many movies like this and it's always annoying when I go to backup a disc and the playlist has an extra m2ts for no reason whatsoever.

Well, that can cause issues.

Doing recoding during backups doesn't do any level changes, etc. That would certainly screw up any HDR/DV videos. Besides, these are short black videos.

I'd be happy to have a hidden option that overrides this behavior.

Unfortunately, they do have a reason. If you look at the end of the video that precedes the 1 sec black, you will find that it ends without any black. That end piece is what allows you to skip to the end, as there is a chapter mark at that point. If that were removed, you would not be able to skip to the end and then do the next operation, be it going to the next episode/video or the menu. You'd have to press the menu key. They play a purpose, but they are a backup annoyance.

Thank you for responding. I had no idea the 1 sec m2ts was needed. So the last chapter will be at the end of the 1 sec m2ts and not the main m2ts? I like to make remux, would it be best to keep the 1sec m2ts at the end or would it be beneficial to move it?

The last chapter is actually at the end of the video preceding it/start of the 1 sec black. Best to leave it in place. If you are remuxing to a MKV file (for example), the 1 sec black will be added to the end, making it one continuous file.
