Daybreakers: Interview gets ripped instead of the movie

[unrox]

I downloaded Daybreakers with BD Rebuilder, once Full Movie, once Movie only. Both times I got an interview with the actors as to the making of the film. No movie, I have used BDR several time's largely successful, never had this happen. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Select a different playlist from the "Alternate Movie-Only Playlist" option under the MODE menu. It's a good idea to right click on the stream and preview what you are reencoding before you run the job.

I think you are mistaken about Full-Movie mode... BD-RB simply recreates the original in the same structure. The interview would of course be included -- since the backup is "full".

Hi! It appears the interview is longer than the movie.(I wonder if this will make you smile as broadly as I did):

Actually, the movie .M2TS is initially of greater filesize than the interview .M2TS - but becomes of lesser filesize than the interview .M2TS when the secondary videostream and any audiostreams and/or PGS streams are deselected ;>}

I assumed you were talking about an extra.

Actually I said, "the interview .M2TS" (The O.P. referred to "interview with actors) - It's a fullblown "Extra" occupying a 17.1Gig .M2TS...

I guess it would be an extra, just over an hour of talking about the ins and outs of making the movie. I might be wong but I don't think any of the movie was even on the backup, I fast forwarded it til it was at about the 1.5 hour mark and gave up. Don't see how they could fit a movie after that. Funny thing is it started with the interview on the backup, but the original disk starts with the movie.

I'm not a fan of vampire movies and I try not to support them. :) I'll take a zombie (e.g. "Shaun of the Dead") over a vampire any day.

@jdobbs

For "movie only", does BD-RB select/presume the primary movie file based on original (per the actual BluRay) .M2TS filesizes or on filesizes after accounting for DEselected streams?

[jdobbs]

It selects based length in time, not bytes. By the way, I'm running "Daybreakers" now. It selected the extra because it is over two hours long, and the movie is only 97 minutes long. I simply selected it from the alternate playlist menu and it previewed and is recording fine. I'll let you know how it comes out in the morning.

Unfortunately there is no better way I can think of than length for selecting the feature...

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs there is no better way I can think of than length for selecting the featureHow about seeking the .MPLS with the greatest number of chapters indicated?

[jdobbs]

I finished "Daybreakers" last night. No issues.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs How about seeking the .MPLS with the greatest number of chapters indicated? That isn't reliable. Time is by far the best choice and is correct in 99.99% of all discs. One out of a thousand is good enough for me, especially since I've included the capability to view the sources and make sure it is the one you want. I may add a look at the filesize also, though, as that would have helped in "Daybreakers". Even though the extra was longer, the feature used more disc space.

Unless you can incorporate some sort of "mental user telepathy", :rolleyes:, there will always be some sort of perceived BD-RB issue!
There has got to be some sort of user intervention, and as I see it, it is quite minimal with BD-RB compared to many other software programs available, and not just for video too. ( Just try some photo editing software! ) :p
There can be so many titles on a Bluray disc, it can't be expected that BD-RB will just pick the one you want. Usually the longest one is the main movie, but not always, as we have all witnessed. Some times there is a theatrical version as well as an extended version, so how to choose?
Just a thought, straying slightly from this subject, :confused: perhaps the user takes just a little bit of time to view the disc contents with a tool such as BDInfo before proceeding to BD-RB's choices?
Maybe a welcome screen of the different titles on the source disc opens before the BD-RB.exe is executed, so that the user can see the available titles and associated audio and subtitle options before proceeding to the selection of full backup or movie only backup.
Or, we can just use it as it is, with the minimal user intervention required as it is now, and just put a little more effort into what is the final outcome desired, and choosing wisely! :)

I suggested How about seeking the .MPLS with the greatest number of chapters indicated?

And you replied That isn't reliable

Please advise why you feel that it wouldn't be MORE reliable than running time or filesize?

Presumably because there can be more chapters in some extras than there are in the main movie.

It's the same with DVDs and I've seen discs with games in the extras that have hundreds of chapters.
