Problem Recoding Mind Candy 3 Compilation

[rdeckard]

Hi all, forum n00b here. My main interest is ripping my movies to MP4 container to sync with my iPad. I've been fine for years doing this with AnyDVD and HandBrake. However I'm at a total loss with what to do about Mind Candy 3. This is a seriously awesome Blu Ray compilation of various PC demo scene creations from recent years, 40 of them to be exact. AnyDVD rips it just fine, I know this as it plays back perfectly in PowerDVD. However I have had zero success getting this thing recoded via HandBrake into a nice container that I can shove onto my iPad. It seems that the demos are in varying resolution (some 720, some 1920 etc) and perhaps this is causing HandBrake to crap itself. If I try to just code the entire thing into 1 file, the result cannot be rendered in any player. If I add all the detected titles (20 total) to queue and try to make individual files (figured I'd just stitch them together afterward) only some come out playable, the rest cannot be rendered. What I'd really like to do is make 1 file out of this entire thing but that may be just plain impossible. Failing that, I'd be ok just making 20 (or however many) little pieces and stitching them together. This is a fairly obscure disc to most people I'm sure but if anyone has experience with something like this, I'm all eyes, TIA!

You could try another converter like ripbot264 and see if it handles the blu-ray better.

But if the video clips are in different resolutions can't you make one single video file.

Well that was a bullesye suggestion amigo. RipBot264 isn't the easiest program to get up and running but once you do, marvelous software! I was able to suss out the largest title which contained all 40 demo recordings and encoding just that to an MP4 worked perfectly. Weird that HandBrake wouldn't do the same but eh, not complaining at this point. Thanks a bunch.

Great!
