combine 'Planet Earth' discs

[MCEStaff]

I have the BBC Planet Earth series on BluRay (4 x 25G discs).

It consists of nine programs, each file of which is around 7G.

I want to be able to play these over and over in a computer store all day long without having to change discs or go back and press play every 100minutes.

AnyDVD let me copy the files to the harddrive but playing them back seems troublesome.
PowerDVD plays jerkily. 8fps maybe.
Media Player Classic - Homecinema plays sorta smoothly but with far too many compression artifacts and tearing.
VLC plays only the audio.

Ideally, I'd like to play them all, without sound, but maybe with english subtitles, in a program that will allow for 'repeat all'.

If nothing is happy playing from files, I wouldn't mind recreating an ISO. even if it was too large to burn to a disk. As long as I could mount it to a virtual drive and as long as it would play more reliably that way.

questions:
- If the files are choppy playing from the hard-drive, how can I tell whether AnyDVD did a good job extracting them?
- If creating an ISO is the best option, is there some little setting that allows for looping? I have two BDs right now that do loop. One that has a menu option (Came with an Acer laptop with BluRay). The other is 'The Curse of King Tut's Tomb'. No menu option, it just plays all day long automatically.
- Any other suggestions?

thank you,

Well that's a long time to go with no response.

It seems that if I rip these PlanetEarth discs to an iso using AnyDVD, I can mount the ISO and play it in the AcerArcade program that came with the laptop. Play it smoothly that is.

If I try to play back in PowerDVD, it is jerky. Whether I play the ISO or the individual .m2ts files.

AcerArcade doesn't seem to recognize the .m2ts files to play directly.

So, I should be able to take the 11 .m2ts files (not 9 as I said in my first post), make a BD ISO, mount it with Virtual CloneDrive, and play in AcerArcade.
I've tried a couple of ways but never seem to end up with something in actual movie format. I can play the individual files from the ISO. (ISO ends up being something like 98G)

Any recommendations?
I created the ISO with imgburn. I tried running the files through tsmuxer but that doesn't seem to do much other than remove extra languages and chop it up into lots of little files.

thank you,

Try installing ffd Show filter and Haali splitter. I play m2ts files smoothly with WMP and PowerDVD 8Ultra smoothly and without problems. WMP11 even plays HD audio tracks. Why make an ISO?
