burn m2ts to blu ray without reencoding?

[dashley]

1. I'm new. i'm learning as fast as i can.

2. i'm starting to back up my blu ray collection. i have a blu ray drive/burner, and i watch my movies on a samsung blu ray player. i have cheap access to 25gb blu ray discs. i've been ripping my blu rays with anydvd, and the whole blu ray with extras is always over 25gb, BUT the main m2ts file is usually just under 25gb. my computer is a core 2 duo, and takes DAYS to reencode to 25gb with bdrebuilder with 2 pass high quality (default).
is there a way that i can burn just the m2ts file (main movie) with it's audio and a subtitle using img burn without reencoding?
or can i go in and delete the other m2ts files from the stream folder?

the main thing i'm trying to avoid is encoding. otherwise, i might spend the big bucks for the BD-DLs
thanks in advance for the help

You can try clown_bd to both strip out the main movie and make a blu-ray image that you can burn.

BDinfo to see which playlist file is the movie(mpls) . TSmuxer to convert mpls file to BR structure. Burn with Imgburn. The whole process under 30 minutes.

First of all, at such high bitrates, you'd lose little by using the one-pass high speed BD25 option. IMO, two-pass is necessary for BD9/5, not necessary for BD25. My HTPC is comparable to yours, and high speed BD25 takes three hours at most.

Anyway, I often use Clown_BD to strip out the main movie, and downconvert the audio as well (don't have a sound system that justifies HD audio). You can select which audio/sub streams to keep. Do those three things, movie-only, deselect unwanted audio streams and convert the primary audio stream to AC3 640kps, and *far* the majority of movies will fit a BD25 without re-encoding.

If the main movie is under 25gb, then use bdrb in main movie mode. It will not re-encode and it will take maybe 30 minutes tops.

I would just use BDinfo to find the playlist for the main movie. If the main movie has a multi-channel AC3 stream, then I'd just use TsMuxer to rip the video stream and that audio stream into an .m2ts file. Most of the time that should give you a file that will fit.

Unfortunately, your BR probably won't have a multi-channel AC3 audio stream. In that case I'd use TsMuxer to rip the video and the DTS-HD stream off the disc. Convert the DTS-HD to a 640kb 5.1 AC3 stream with MeGUI. Remux the new AC3 stream with the video stream using TsMuxer into an .m2ts. Should fit.

If neither of these makes a file that is usable, your only options are gonna be re-encode or DL discs.
