Watchmen Backup Issues

[john920]

I made a backup of the watchmen and I noticed that it has many m2ts files indicating many branching segments on the disc, at least I think that's what it means. I attempted to watch the full disc backup made with the latest BD rebuilder, in Maximum Movie Mode but at 21 minutes the disc freezes in both my LG and Insignia player, my PC however plays the disc fine. Could Ibe looking at a media issue? I use Ritek Ridata Blu-ray Media Disc (BD-R Disc) 4X 25GB White Inkjet printable discs with no problems before this except T2 which had the same multiple file format. Would it help to burn the disc at a slower speed? I am at a loos for ideas...

I know that when I worked with Watchmen to go to a .mkv file, I had problems getting the right file(s) together and the first attempt ended up with an 'extended' version with director commentary stuff. I did finally get RipBot264 to do it (selecting the second longest option, the one with the running length that is listed on the box) and converted it to a .mkv file. If you're just looking to go to an archived Blu Ray drive, perhaps you could demux the main section with tsmuxer GUI and then just burn that part (unless of course you want the extra content, too, in which case I'm a bit short up on ideas.)

I want the entire disc backed up. It keeps freezing in Maximum Movie mode at 21:14 and in regular movie mode at 20:45, almost the same exact point in the film. I have not tried the latest bd rebuilder yet but I have tried 2 different types of media and burning at 1x speed. The discs play perfectly fine in my PC but freeze at the same point in both my standalone players. The only other thing I can think of is that I need to do the re-build with my old AMD athlon 64 2.4GHZ pc and it takes 3-4 days to do each disc.... my newer pc AMD X2 240 2.8ghz does them in about 18 hours, but won't do this one, or Dark Knight...

If it freezes at the same point on your players but not on your computer then its a media/burn issue,get better quality media,a computer bd-rom/burner will play poorly burned media better than a standalone player.

Thanks johns0, I have tried 2 different types of media. This and T2 skynet edition are the only heavily branching disc's I have attempted to backup as of yet and both of these have given problems at the first branching position, I am also not able to re-build them with my faster PC. another strange coincidence. It fails on the little 6mb files at the begining of the file list. I don't know if there is a way to correct this problem. I just tried the latest bd_rebuilder and ffdshow, they showed me 2 problems but it wasn't enough. I still can't re-encode the 6mb video file. I have tried Ritek ridata media and Falcon media as well. Both on the slowest speed setting. I prefer to use printable disc's. does anyone have any suggestions where I can get a good brand in small lots?
