This information is certainly available out there, but I didn't find it back when I was working on solving it, so I wrote up my notes as a little guide.
The goal: Take Blu-Ray discs and archive them to my file server, then stream them to the PS3 in full HD.
Limitations: This guide goes over AVC encoded discs, not VC-1 or MPEG2
The process: I'm using Cars, an AVC encoded blu-ray disc.
Cars is an AACS protected Blu-Ray title from Disney. The following
guide is what can be done to rip the film onto a file server, then
serve the video to a Playstation 3.
Software used:
a. AnyDVD HD from Slysoft, to remove AACS protection
b. TsRemux v.0.0.20
c. Twonky
Step 1: Rip the disc.
I used a Phillips SPD7000P Blu-Ray drive with AnyDVD HD. Right click
the AnyDVD HD icon, and select rip video to disk. I let it do its
thing, and it ripped all 38.5 gigs off the disc.
Step 2: Locate the movie.
Looking at the raw video data, in CARS_USA/BDMV/STREAM/, I picked out
the largest video file. 00060.m2ts, 28.5GB.
Step 3: Re-mux the video.
Open up TsRemux. Load up 0060.m2ts, and set an output file
name of your choice. I chose something descriptive -
"Cars avc lpcm.m2ts".
A box will be populated with the elementary
streams found on the ripped data. Choose "AVC Video Stream #17"
and "Dolby Digital Audio Stream #1". Choose "M2TS" as the output
format. Keep other options as their defaults. Press the "Remux"
button, and let it go.
Optionally, you can select the "Lossless PCM Audio Stream # 0" instead
of the Dolby Digital audio track for lossless audio glory, but it
will cost you about 6GB of size in the end file (27GB vs. 21.3GB).
Step 4: Load it in TwonkyMedia.
I used TwonkyMedia 4.4.4, installed in a VMWare client on my file
server, but it can be run on most modern Windows machines. I
shared a network directory where I had the file and set up other
configuration options in Twonky.
You can certainly use other programs to serve the media, or copy it
to the playstation 3 itself. In my case, I use my file server as
a media server.
Step 5: Find other content.
In the Cars case, there are a couple of other interesting files in
there for the kids - the shorts. 00036.m2ts is "Matar and the Ghost
Light", 00037.m2ts is "One Man Band", a pixar short, 00038.m2ts is
the "Epilogue", and 00052.m2ts is "Bounding Cars", a Cars-oriented
version of an old Pixar short.
This other content is all in either AVC or mpeg2 format with a single
audio track which will stream to the PS3 without any remuxing, as
the main film needed.
