Multiple Video Issues

[hi2shy]

Hi

Hope someone can help me. I have a bluray rip on my hard drive, which I have used imgburn to create an iso to play in Total Media Theatre. The problem is the m2ts file contains 2 movie streams, the main movie and a documentary type feature about how the film was made.

When is the iso is created, the documentary feature is the only movie stream that that is played. I cannot select the main movie as the secondary movie stream. Is there a way to extract the documentary out while keeping the bluray structure?

On a separate note, I extracted the mkv and audio stream using eac3to but when I play the mkv file in windows media center on windows 7 64bit, all I get is a blank screen. When I move the film along, it still doesnt play at all. I'm using shark codecs and this same thing happens with other mkv files but not all of them!! I'm at a loss as to why only some mkv files dont work and others do!!

Sorry for the long post - I hope it makes sense!!

thanks

Try clown_bd and see if you can strip out the main movie. Or maybe it can't keep the menus though.

Clown BD BD Copier might work.

Thanks. I'll give them both a go.

clown_bd has done the job. thanks a lot for that.

Any idea's on the MKV issue??

What is the video codec in the mkv? Identify using mediainfo.


I play all mkvs with mpchc. It has builtin codecs for most video formats.

Hi

MediaInfo says it is VC-1 (microsoft). The other MKV's I encoded using same method is using AVC. Don't know how that happened!!

[Baldrick]

It's normal. Some blurays are encoded with vc1.

OK. Not sure what has happened with my system, as all my mkv's used to work and now, only the VC-1 encoded mkv's have stopped working. Been researching this more and it seems like this issue happens a lot with window media center. There doesn't seem to be much hope to get these working though.
