[lbbruiser2]

is ther any way to shrink a lets say 44 gb bd to a 25 bd so my original don;t get scrached upand what woul be the easiest and most reliable software these are not encrypted thanks lbbruiser2

Ripbot264 but you will lose menus and extras. Open the .m2ts from the Blu-ray.

There are currently no tools like DVD Shrink for BluRay content. Like Baldrick says it is possible to shrink the movie by re-encoding it, but you will lose all the menus and extras. Although I think a DVD Shrink type tool will eventually exist for BluRay, that day may be more than 1 year from now.

jdobbs is working on a beta release of BD Rebuilder right now, which will allow one to shrink a Blu-ray down to either a 25gb BD-R or a DVD-9. We are all waiting with baited breath for the release, which he has posted should be soon.

Baldrick gave you a suggestion. And you completely ignored this because ...?

I'm not trying to be rude to you as a new member, but it's really getting tiring to see people join the forums and ask "How do I do X?" and one of us will take the time to answer it directly and then the original poster will post again asking the exact same question and say that nobody has yet answered it.

Change the mode to 2-pass instead of CRF mode, and checkmark lock the size, enter the size

Cheers

I attempted to download ripbot. I dont even know what type of file format that download is in because I'm apparently weak at this. My question is if I go into a ripped Blu ray and click on stream I am given a list of various files. If i choose the largest file and open it to burn in img burn, will it include the sound? How do I know which file is which in there?

[lbbruiser2]

poison deathdeathray which program are you talking about thanks bud lb

[JoeyGarbs]

Okay, there are some really, really brilliant people out there. In fact, most of the people who look/write in this forum are pretty damn smart. How has no one figured out how to compress a 50 gig blu-ray to a 25 gig blu-ray in a simple, dvdshrink like program? I, myself, am dumber than a bag of rocks when it comes to this stuff. But I'm happy to give positive reinforcement to anyone who attempts to crack the code. Come on, you can do it! (See?)

BD discs are quite a bit different from DVD discs. But RipBot is just as simple as DVDShrink, maybe simpler. AnyDVD does the hard part.

I have no use for extras or menus, as I have them on the original BD disc. I just want to watch the movie without all the added crap.

[lbbruiser2]

thanks redwas will give it a try what .net framework do i need on vista i have anydvd thanks for keeping this forum going lbbruiser2

TSremux 212 will create a movie only Blu-ray directory on your hard drive. It plays on my computer,I don't have a Blu-ray burner so I can't say it would play in a standalone.

[lbbruiser2]

thanks baldrck,dwisniski,poison deathray,joshdip,wulf109 ibelieve it wasbut espacially baldrivk and redwuz they really seem to no what they are doing!!! i have all the sostware just can't seem to get the write combination to get there ripbot will pull in streams but no audio then when it checks it it says now viseo streams found or something like that any further assistance would be great lbbruiser2


as for Jman is concerned did not notice any advice from him what doeshe go from forum to forum slamming peole anyway thats all i have to say about that and i will not respond to any childish post if he slams thanks again keep up the good work and i will keep on learning lb peace i'm out of here for now

I have found a few BD discs that need to be ripped to the hard drive with AnyDVD HD, then I use tsMuxeR (In the RipBot 'Tools' folder.) to choose the correct .m2ts stream and the desired audio track. Then 'Start muxing'. I open the resulting .m2ts file in RipBot and the file converts to MKV 2-pass with no problems.

I have also found two BD discs that wouldn't convert properly. One I have exchanged and now works for conversion. The second I couldn't exchange and will just play back on the player. I suspect it is also damaged, but nothing I can see. It's not a very recent disc, so I doubt it's a decryption problem with AnyDVD. Some BD discs may have a improperly created structure or damaged during manufacturing or packaging. But most discs should work without problems.

I didn't need to install any .net versions, they were already on Vista. But make sure you use the recommended versions of the assist programs listed on the RipBot page. Other versions of those programs may not work correctly.

The beta version of BD Rebuilder is now available. https://forum.videohelp.com/topic361854.html I haven't tried it yet.
