Blu-ray Playlist File
« on: April 11, 2017, 01:30:46 pm »

So I'm trying to determine which mpls file is the one for the regular movie.  The problem is that JRiver automatically plays the longest/largest file in the directory.  While usually this is correct, sometimes it's the one with the special features or alternate endings.  I want to know how to determine the desired mpls file without watching it several times until I find the correct one.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

JRiver has picked the correct playlist since 2012 when using AnyDVD HD by reading the disc.inf file generated by AnyDVD HD. For those not using AnyDVD HD, I think you need to browse forums to figure out which playlist to use.

So, you're saying that every time I rip/import a movie with JRiver I need to check the forums for the correct movie playlist?
And that even though JRiver recommends using DVDfab (which I use), that the answer is to buy AnyDVD?

JRiver's Wiki on Blu-ray mentions AnyDVD, not DVDfab. Not sure where you get "JRiver recommends using DVDfab."

I did a search on DVDfab's website and it looks like BluPath picks the correct playlist for you.

Just one guy's opinion:  Making folder structures or ISOs makes things more complex.  Ripping to a container like MKV is more straight forward, more supported, and less complex.  Of course when you rip to MKV, you need to figure out the title or titles you want to rip. But you only need to do that once and it's done.  MKVs have all of the quality of a folder structure or an ISO.  So, unless you love menus, or you like to have every single special feature taking up space in your structures, MKVs don't really have much of a down side.

Just my opinion.
