Edit Blu-Ray...

[rick090]

hi. i have been reading alote lately (in this furom) but i cant find an answer to what i'm trying to do.
i got a few bd movies that i wanna backup to bd-25 (i have a bd writer). what i'm trying to do is strip some streams in the main title and add some ac3 sound and subtitles. i tryed doing this by remuxing the main m2ts file with tsMuxer and than replace the original with the remuxed one. ps3 went through the opening logo and menu but when i press the play button all i see is black screen (maybe some other files need to be updated as well). is there a way of currectly replace the m2ts file?
i wanna keep all the original structure including the menus.
just add subtitles and addintional ac3 stream.
thanks alote.

Not possible yet

AFAIK you must also replace corresponding main movie files in BDMV folder:
PLAYLIST\xxxx.mpls
CLIPINF\xxxx.clpi

And patch *.mpls file for matching its name.

I have not tried this personally, but soon will.

thanks n0mag!c! i will try this myself today but what do you mean by patch the mpls file? what do i have to add/delete from it?
if this is gonna work it would save me alote of work reauthoring the whole movie.
thanks.

Open it with any hexeditor, you can find "00001M2TS".
You must replace "00001" with proper M2TS file name.
P.S. I will try this method tonight myself...

thanks man! the truth is i tryed this yesturday but i couldnt find a way to edit the file number in bdedit.
i totaly forgot about the hex editor. i will try this tonight as well.
thank you.

I just tried and result is succesful.
I've replaced main movie of "The Island" blu-ray with "300" HD-DVD remuxed with TsMuxer. Though both video are VC-1, audio streams types and count is different.

Can give us a step by step/guide on how to do this? I think this info could prove quite useful to a lot of people in the near future ;)

This is the same technique, already used by Musicman for making multi-title blu-ray/avchd:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1119634

1. Find proper to main movie .mpls file just running eac3to without any parameters specified. Let it be 00010.mpls with 00020.m2ts+00021.m2ts+00022.m2ts.
2. Replace this .mpls file with new one (rename new 00001.mpls to 00010.mpls) in PLAYLIST subfolder.
3. Replace 00020.m2ts+00021.m2ts+00022.m2ts with new one (rename new 00001.m2ts to 00020.m2ts) in STREAM subfolder, other .m2ts (00021.m2ts+00022.m2ts) can be deleted.
4. Replace 00020.clpi with new one (rename new 00001.clpi to 00020.clpi) in CLIPINF subfolder.
5. Patch new 00010.mpls with any hexeditor to replace "00001M2TS" to "00020M2TS".

Amazing! But I guess the menu will not be able to access the audio streams anymore, right? So audio can now only be selected by the Blu-ray player functions...

[n0mag!c]

I guess switching audio and subtitles through menu will work, if audio and subtitle streams count will be greater or equal to original. And switching always work by the blu-ray player.

[rick090]

personaly i have no problem using the subtitles and audio keys on the remote to switch.
btw, using this method, i noticed that the pop mune is gone!
i guess the pop up menu is a PG stream but where is it stored? i only saw the languages PG when demux with tsMuxer.

[moviefan]

Which popup menu? And, concerning the selection of audio/subtitle tracks via menu, would this selection still work, if I recreated the track order again, but with e.g. encoded audio tracks? So if there was a structure like:
1. DTS English
2. DTS German
3. DTS ...
and I replaced this by
1. AC3 English
2. AC3 German
3. removed
would it be possible to select at least the first two audio tracks via menu? So does the menu refer to the track # or does it also know about the codec etc?

Awesome.....thnx!

Just tried musicmans method of replacing the main movie m2ts with a stripped one done by tsmuxer & it works perfectly, The movie ive done is total recall (with a single m2ts as main movie) which has a pop up menu while the film is playing, this pop up menu is gone with the backup replacement, just wondering if anyone knows where this menu is stored & is there anyway i can keep it.

Thanks

[rick090]

the pop-up menu is working grate in BD-J titles. I made a backup of spiderman 2 and 3 which both is BD-J and the pop-up menu is still there. i think its got something to do with the "jar" folder still intact, cos' BD-J Menus is java based. so all menus are kept.

Hi,

Tried this method with "10000 BC".
1- Ripped unwanted audios and subtitles tracks from main video (00000.m2ts).
2- Replaced the *.mpls and *.clpi files. No need to patch with Hexedit because main movie is already 00000.m2ts

Final result is:
Menus working OK
Movie plays OK
Subtitles do not play

Anyone got this working with subtitles?
Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks for your help.
Regards
