I’m replaying Cyberpunk, so I thought you were asking about Braindances…
But to answer your question, Handbrake.
Thanks choom
Handbreak isn’t gonna do what you want, it won’t see past drm. Once you use makeMKV to remix it you can use handbreak to compress it if you want though, it’s great for that.
Remux* lol
That makes sense. So makeMKV to give me some useable media files, and handbrake to encode those useable files down to a more reasonable size?
Yup exactly! Or if you have the storage space might as well keep the original quality and let whatever streamer you’re using (plex jellyfin etc) transcode for you
Yeah I think I’ll do that instead since I’d like to keep things as untouched as possible
eac3to will let you extract the mt2s files into their individual parts (video, audio, subtitles). You can then use mkvtoolnix to remux them into an MKV. MakeMKV works fine imo, but I read some vague waffling on a private tracker forum that it messes something up that eac3to doesn't.
Oh interesting. Did they say what that could be?
Found it
Why eac3to and not something like MakeMKV? Yes, MakeMKV is really easy to use because it's basically a one-click program. However, it does have its shortcomings when it comes to detecting and correcting authoring errors on Bluray discs.
Take that for what you will I guess. They didn't elaborate at all.
If you're interested in using a command line tool to demux, you can get it here, at the original thread on doom9.
Thanks for following up! That’ll be good to know to have an alternative at the very least
Perhaps Handbrake can handle it?
I actually have Handbrake, but I’d only used it to transcode (re-encode?) single files. Sounds like I need to read the documentation a bit more
Mkvtoolnix for converting bdmv folder to mkvtoolnix without re-encoding.
Yeah I actually stumbled across it while looking into some of the things mentioned in this thread. It came in handy when it was time to separate out the one large mkv into multiple smaller files. Unfortunately I can’t have it spit out individual episode files right away, because I have to manually open the mkv first see which chapters mark the beginning of a new episode
Some video players can open .mpls files (usually found under PLAYLIST folder), if your video player supports that you probably can see chapters.
