Ripping Blu-Rays II - Page 68

I started watching today before going to work, and I notice tiny audio drops through out the movie about 10 min. apart. I switch to AC3 audio track, and the audio drops went away. Anyone else noticed this? I re-ripped the movie with ClownBD again, and I am also doing a FULL BD folder structure with AnyDVD HD, and I will be also doing a MKV file with HD and AC3 sound track to see if I notice the same issues.

If you bought the movie on BD, you should return it as defective, because it is. Something about the TrueHD encoding. See also "Brave" and "Finding Nemo" which have similar issues but not as bad.

Guys...save me scanning through 68 pages of posts? After ripping many, many TV-on-DVD episodes...I'm about to take my first stab at TV-on-BD. Rather than make an ISO of the entire disc, I'd like to stick with a file-per-episode format. I have ToNMT and BD_Clown...and would like to not have to download/learn anything new.
Little help? TIA

and read forward to catch up on the discussion of the past week on BD TV episodes.
Then you will be in a better position to ask specific questions on items of concern to you that were not discussed.

So...sounds like a conundrum. I don't care about subtitles (much; I mean, it would be nice); format is more important. I'm either .m2ts or ISO, for movies; sounds like my only option for individual episodes...is mkv? Hmm, wonder is BD TV is really worth it.

Regardless of format, the biggest time sink with ripping BD TV episodes is matching up the file with the episode number/title. This has to be done manually by playing them and comparing them to what is on the original disk.

Movies are easy and generally none hassle, but i am wondering if people in the community ever buy bluray tv shows. I find very little information on this and i have no idea if people are spending copious amounts of time i assume this would require to do bluray tv shows. Movies are easy. Doing a 13-26 episode per season tv show is going to take time. Right now I am likely looking at hundreds of episodes. Specifically finding a needle in a haystack which is forced subtitles. Odd episodes need forced subtitles. I have no idea which episodes would need them, all I know is even english tv shows on bluray often have occasional episodes with some foreign dialogue and forced subtitles.
My plan is to use xbmc.
I have a bunch of bluray tv folder rips, i am starting here. It also makes little sense in xbmc to click on a tv episode and then launch a disc with an entirely separate menu so I am remuxing each episode to mkv.
My issue and fear is forced subtitles. Originally I hoped to take the mt2s files per episode and could just use those. That however leaves me without chapters, and no forced subtitle detection.
I found another eac3to gui and it looked like the holy grail for what i wanted, but for some reason this apparently is 2 year old software no longer works. From what i can tell when it did work, it automatically muxed forced subtitles and chapters into a nice mkv with one touch and could do large batches. Blurip does this and its great, but I cant do or add multiple streams (tv episodes) per disc to the queue, and i dont want to sound lazy, but if i buy a bluray tv series, I dont want to be spending my entire weekend muxing 80 some episodes. . If blurip could do batch jobs, or the Queue option would actually do multiple streams (tv episode) per disc, I would be happy, since instead of doing 80 some episodes individually, i would instead only have to do 12 discs for example, but as of now, it only seems to allow you to do one stream (tv episode) at a time per disc and many bluray tv shows can have 3-7 episodes per disc. I just dont have that much free time on my hands to be doing this whenever I add a new tv show.
So I am hoping the users on here can recommend the least time consuming option, Clownbd looks closest but I am assuming I would have to do each single remux one by one still even if i do a batch demux it wont do it all like eac3to gui?
I am a bit overwhelmed I was looking at season 5 of the office for instance on bluray with 24 episodes alone in that season. To find forced subtitles, and then mux these seems to be a daunting task. Blurip would be the answer if it could do multiple steams per disc with one click, like makemkv but it cant, yet makemkv has no forced subtitle solution....I just wonder if anyone has experience with tv bluray shows and what would be the easiest quickest solution?
And yes i read all dbones guides, another eac3to gui was exactly what I wanted, but that option is gone.

2) The "Movies with Forced Subs" thread says that this movie has forced subs. I haven't watched from the disc itself to confirm, but ClownBD doesn't find any forced subs. There are 3 english tracks. Two are really large and one is 1KB. When I try to open the small file with BDSup2Sub, it fails to read it.
Any ideas guys?

When Clown_BD has finished, the demux directory contains all the English subtitle streams -- runs pretty quick since I'm pulling out only the subtitles. If any of those subtitle tracks contains forced subtitles, Clown-BD has created a separate track that contains only those forced subtitles. That tells me what subtitle track I want when I go back and do the full process for real. Clown will create the forced subtitle stream and mux it in first in the subtitle list.
I have found that if Clown_BD doesn't create a forced sub file, then the title doesn't have forced subs. I use SupRip to display the subtitle streams. It has an option to display only forced subs.

Thanks for the tip. I followed your instructions and got 3 subtitle tracks as expected. What's interesting is that track 14 wasn't written until the very end. After demuxing. Here's a snippet of the eac3to_PASS3_LOG: Notice how it doesn't report any captions in track 14.
I don't know what's up with this movie.

It's as if whatever tag or other file the file needs to play as 3D isn't there. Not sure if it's something with my player (Mede8er MED600X3D) or what, but a good bit of them play fine.
Two of the movies I tried that I know have this problem are Hugo and A Christmas Carol.
Anyone ever experience this?
