help! blu ray movie m2ts files slpit into 4 and not 1

[lodwales]

i have come across a blu ray disk where the movie is not in one m2ts file but in 4 or 5. I have ripped many films using tsremux anydvd but not sure what to do when you have more than one main movie file

What are you going to do? SHrink it and make a new blu-ray or convert to another format???

[lodwales]

im simply going to rip the m2ts file and the hd audio track to my media player, i dont want to convert nothing on it just rip the main movie file and auidio track

I found this for tsmuxer:

Use tsMuxeR, instead of opening the m2ts itself, open the corresponding MPLS file in the Playlist folder, this will append all that is needed for the complete movie.
Example: If you know the first part to the movie is 00001.m2ts, open 00001.mpls (in the Playlist folder).

I have ran into this with one BD movie. I used tsMuxeR and it's 'append' function to add all the .m2ts files in the proper order. Then 'Start muxing' to join them all together. In the BD I had, the .m2ts files were not in a sequential order, so I had to arrange them correctly. I used VLC to play the .m2ts files to determine the order. MPC-HC may be able to play them also.

Sometimes, you have to do it all manually.

Damn, I came here to see if anyone had an easy way to easily figure out the right order. I have 59 files totaling 30GB to re-order and then work with. I already went through and deleted all the extras and menus. Guess I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day.

Another good player is AVS Media Player. FYI.

BD info should tell you what you want to know, i.e. playlist contents. Add the proper playlist file (*.mpls) in tsMuxer and it will add all the correct *.m2ts files, in the correct order. Look for the total runtime to identify the main movie.

Thanks for that tip. I actually found a similar tool called BDedit right after posting. Good thing I did too. There are 2 different versions of the same movie on the disc, thus 2 different playlists for the main movie. Some of the files show up on each list. I would have pulled my hair out trying to figure this out. I can't spare any more hair, either.
