[hubblec4]

DiscShare is developed with the intention to share a chunk of a disc with a developer quickly.


Downloads:
Windows
Linux

Note, there are no upload or download functions!
This tool shrinks a disc only.

The disc structure is copied and all the selected m2ts files.
A chunk of a m2ts file will be created (20mb).

There is a CLI and GUI version.

After loading a disc folder you can play the mpls and m2ts files from the lists by a double click.
Drag and drop is supported. GUI detects if a disc structure is present and use the input as source otherwise as target.

Way to go, hubblec4! Thank you.

[hubblec4]

You are welcome.

I see a small issue in the picture for the command-line. "DiscShareGUI.exe" is wrong, should be "DiscShare.exe".

It will be helpful, thanks!
