A question on compressing

[AMC888]

Hi all. I have some ripped blu-rays that I need to burn to BD-Rs. They are 26-27GB and I really don't want to write them on BD-R DLs. Was wondering if there's a possibility of compressing extras only.
Thaks.

Use BDRebuilder:

https://www.videohelp.com/tools/BD-Rebuilder

You can get setup instructions on this site too. Not difficult to use and it's free. It requires a couple of other program: Avsinth 2.5, Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow. Make sure to get proper versions of these addons-not the latest version.

I tried BD-Rebuilder but it was compessing the main movie too and I want to compress only the extras.

What makes you think you can compress the "extras only" enough for all of it to fit on a single layer disc. That rarely worked for DVD....what makes you think it will work for Blu Ray?

Beacause I'd calculated before trying to compress the extras.
The main movie is 00001.m2ts - 21.1GB
Extras:
00025.m2ts - 557MB
00026.m2ts - 848MB
00027.m2ts - 1.10GB
00028.m2ts - 578MB

Those are the largest extras.

pepegot1 doesn't understand what the OP asked. BDRB does NOT support only compressing the extras. Take it up with author, but don't hold your breath on this.

Time to experiment. Since most of us around the net are trying to get rid of extras in our backups, you are flying on your own. Try deleting the main movie m2ts file and replace it with a dummy file of the same name. Then try compressing. Who knows if that will work, but worth a shot.
Edit: BDEdit might let you do this in a more elegant manner, but its not a tool I've used.

Or you could take the m2ts files that you want and build a new blu ray movie out of them using MultiAVCHD. Make your own menu to select each one. And compress it to fit your target disc.

Thanks, will give it a try.
