can 3DBDs be copied yet?

[guru1968]

so I have bought the Panasonic 3D set (TV + BD player) which came with 3D versions of Coraline and Ice Age 3 plus one additional promo disc...

out of curiousity I just put Coraline into my PC's BD-Burner and was surprised:

82.1GB in size... wow

are those 3D BDs really 'bigger' or are just some fancy tricks (multiple TOC entries pointing to the very same block on disc) used here?

I guess those cannot simply be copied to a 50GB BD-R disc yet - or is there a way already??

I guess those cannot simply be copied to a 50GB BD-R disc yet - or is there a way already??Based on the following statement by the author, you might want to try "MakeMKV" (Select the "Backup" icon [NOT the "Make an MKV" icon] in order to do a full disc copy):

MakeMKV properly processes SSIF files right now, starting from version 1.5.8 . Both AVC (ordinary video) and MVC ("stereo" extension) are present in MakeMKV-created backup.

DVDFab Passkey and/or AnyDVD HD may also be capable...

thanks for answering,

but:
those programs you mentioned are only for backing-up to harddisk (and playing later from there...)

I "only" want to burn it as it is on BD-R DL (50GB)
- so I can put this backup disc in my 3D BluRay player and play it there
-- I guess *this* isn't possible at all yet!?

(my computer monitor isn't 3D capable, neither is my PC - so the first method is not an option...)

those programs you mentioned are only for backing-up to harddisk (and playing later from there...)Huh?

1) Both DVD Passkey and AnyDVD HD can be used "on the fly" to both decrypt and burn to disc via IMGBurn

2) makeMKV can be used to first decrypt to your hard drive and then burn to disc via IMGBurn

well, makemkv renames the .ssif files to .ssif.smap
- you can't tell me that my BD player recognizes this new file extension!

or does IMGBurn recognizes those and burns the 'real' files instead? - I kinda don't believe this...
-- but if this actually is what's going on, what version of IMGBurn do I need for this?


the 50GB recordables are a bit too extensive to just try this out (and there are no 50GB BD-RE available yet)...

<Edit>I just received a reply in the DVD Passkey forum from the moderator that up to time there is no way to copy those 3D discs...

remember: I didn't mean normal BDs I meant the new 3D BDs...

Please keep in mind that I quoted him as follows:MakeMKV properly processes SSIF files right now, starting from version 1.5.8 . Both AVC (ordinary video) and MVC ("stereo" extension) are present in MakeMKV-created backup.And based on that quote, I said: Based on the following statement by the author, you might want to try "MakeMKV" There may be other aspects that aren't yet addressed. It's best to go directly to the horse's mouth ;>}
