BluRay Playlists

[x1nick]

Im trying to convert my blu ray films to mkv for my file server.

I have converted alot of the films no problem but some the m2ts files are in alot of parts and can't work out which is which.

How can I find out what playlists I should use? Or the order of the m2ts files.

Films im stuck on are:
Enemy of the state
hitman
face off

Try eac3to.

But I dont know which playlist to use?

Use eac3to, check the eac3to thread here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966) for help with actual usage but basically, just run eac3to on your BluRay folder structure twice (the second pass makes use of the audio gap logs taken during the first pass).

The one that has the same lenght and audio tracks your movie has. Most of the time there is only one that makes sense anyway.

If there are two or more playlists which all have a relative long, but slightly different playtime, the disk might contain different cut versions of the movie. Example given, the german BD version of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" contains three different cut versions. The other possibility is that the disk might contain different language versions of the video track. In the latter case, you would find two or more playlists which have the same playtime.
