Backing up Wall-E as Movie only?

[Capsbackup]

For a movie only backup, an option that has worked for me is to use Clown_BD/eac3to on the original Blu-Ray to create a new BluRay, less any audio and subtitle tracks you want, which will have only one .m2ts file. You can now run this new BluRay thru BD-RB to select the BD5/9 or BD25 file size of your choice.
However, since this is preprocessing, do not report any problems or failures in the BD-RB bug reports thread!

@Rumbah

If you try my suggestion of using "MakeMKV", you should not be confronted with the problem you've reported here...

[Rumbah]

Yes, it works your way but that does not change the fact that there is an error with DVD-RB. Perhaps there are other BluRays on which the movie is separated in many pieces and DVD-RB would have problems there, too.

But the problem is "How?" -- that error is in TSMUXER, not BD-RB.

[Rumbah]

Can't you just change the output file name to audio1.dts or cut the name to 255 characters or doesn't TSMUXER allow to set the output file name by command line?
Because manual extraction with a gui and a shorter file name works fine.

Because manual extraction with a gui and a shorter file name works fine. All I provide is the output directory -- TSMUXER names the extracted file(s). If you know a way to do it differently please explain...

Hi!

Perhaps the author of either "MakeMKV" or "eac3to" will share their methodology with you?

Seems like a pretty big error in TSMUXER

[jdobbs]

Seems like a pretty big error in TSMUXER I guess it depends on the point of view -- several hundred encodes and I've never hit it once.

It's only a big error when it happens -- which is exceptionally rare.

If that is true, please explain how. I can find no way that you can combine all the parts of the MPLS (as is absolutely necessary to avoid audio sync issues) and output it to a different filename. TSMUXER selects the output filename (which is too large) when it is demuxing.

[Rumbah]

You're right, for manual extraction I just tried a single m2ts file as it was before you got the detailed error message. If I try to demux from the playlist I get the file creation error.

So I guess we have to wait till the TSMuxer guys fix it.

So I guess we have to wait till the TSMuxer guys fix it.No, I'm putting in code that will catch the error when it happens, and then will output to a single M2TS followed by extraction from that M2TS. It's a pain, takes more time, and uses more space, but at least it won't fail -- and it will only happen when this error forces it.

jdobbs, any update since 7th Dec?

I've tried 31.06 but it still fails in the same why on a movie only backup of the European Wall-E Bluray so I assume you haven't had chance to implement the change yet?

Still makeMKV is a workaround for (at least some) European versions.

Has anyone managed to get this movie to work? It keeps failing for me with an error regarding not being able to find the audio tracks. It does full disc, but then the player I want to use only supports movie only, grrrrr :(

I used clownbd (using the correct mpls file for your language) and made 1 m2ts + 1 mpls file. This disc Movie only will fit on a BD-R ok, but of course you can then us BD Rebuilder to compress to DVD.

clownbd also joins the seperate m2ts file without any audio sync issues that you can get in tsmuxer.

By the way I cant remember which mpls is the english option but I know its not the first one shown in bdinfo. Its certain parts like newspaper headlines etc that change language in the film.
