Can PowerDVD actually play the backed up Blu Ray disc files with subs

[navarannan]

Hi

I purchased the Power DVD Ultra software today.
I was trying to play my backed up blu ray disc files (in BDMV folder). I can play the main m2ts files but the subtitles are unavailable.

Is it possible to play the files in BDMV folder exactly like the disc with menus and subtitles?

Cheers

I think you need to use ImgBurn to create a Blu-ray ISO containing the backup files and folders. When you try to play the ISO, PowerDVD Ultra will ask to install virtual drive software to mount the ISO, which will permit the ISO to play like a Blu-ray disc.

Oops thats an additional overhead
Is there a way Powerdvd can detech the subtitles when I just play the main .m2ts file, so that I don't have to go through this burden..(I just need subs)

If you are using Windows 10, it can mount an ISO directly. Make an ISO of your decrypted Blu-ray with ImgBurn, then right click on the ISO file. The first option is to Mount it. Do this, and it looks like a disc in a hardware optical drive to PowerDVD.

Double click on the mounted ISO and if you have PowerDVD set up to play Blu-ray automatically, it should start the program and play just like playing an optical disc. I have PowerDVD 16, there are probably newer versions these days, but it works in this fashion for decrypted ISO files for me. Menus function and subtitles are available.

These are steps that work for menus and subtitles on decrypted discs.

Thanks. Yes I use Windows 10. How long does it take to mount the Blu Ray files? Is it straightforward method?

Creating the ISO with ImgBurn takes about the same amount of time as copying the files and folders to a different location on a hard drive. It should take under one minute to mount an ISO.

ImgBurn is only used to create an ISO file. Windows 10 has a built-in virtual drive for mounting the ISO file created using ImgBurn.

Kerry56 explained how to use Windows 10's virtual drive: Right click on the ISO file, then select the first option on the context menu to mount the ISO. After mounting, the ISO plays as if it were a physical Blu-ray disc loaded in the ODD.

Sorry if I was not clear. I wanted to know how to create the iso file from the already copied bdmv and certified folder of the backed up. Blu ray disc

Sorry Im facing a few issues here

1.

However I was using Powerdvd 18 to play the iso file, powedvd did the mount by installing some driver, but I can't get the subtitles to work correctly. The primary subtitle is not displaying at all and secondary subtitles is cut off at the top. I also played with the subtitle settings, but no luck

2. So I downgraded to Powerdvd 17 , did the mount but it doesny play the movie

Any clue?

PowerDVD 18 won't be officially released until next month, at the earliest, so you used warez. Read the forum rules. You can be banned for warez rule violations.

Patches are not mandatory. If what you read about a patch indicates that installing the patch may cause a problem, then don't install the patch. Wait for Cyberlink to offer a new patch later on.
