I've been using BD Rebuilder for years to backup my movies to MKV.
I have a few documentary type Blu Rays where BD Rebuilder doesn't know which M2TS files to use.
Is there a way with BD Rebuilder to manually select certain M2TS files and have it "merge" them into a single .mkv or will I need to use a different tool (MakeMKV?)
(or alternatively, can I manually select a single M2TS file and have BD Rebuilder convert to MKV?)
Thanks

ThanksAll multipart M2TSs are organized into a single unit via a playlist. In BD-RB, under the MODE menu, select "Movie-Only Backup" and then "Other Movie-Only Playlist". It will give you choices of all playlists that have a length of 15 minutes or more (by default). You can then encode them one at a time -- or go to the Batch menu and add them (either individually or as a group) by right clicking on the list area.
If you want to select other playlists that are shorter than 15 mins, you can change the minimum time with the MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS hidden options (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT for details).
