Things have changed a bit. If something like AnyDVD HD is running in the background you can use MC to rip a BD to disc as a full structure. It will import into your library this disc and by default try to play the main title. You can then choose to play other titles OR by using paticles you can create a seperate library entry for each title. Once created, you can delete the dud ones and rename etc the ones you want to keep
Thanks for the update. I need to pry MC from my Wife to do some experimenting - not yet sure when that will happen.
You say to "use MC to rip a BD to disc as a full structure". I don't see any options for this, so assume that now just happens with any BD rip. Correct?
You say "You can then choose to play other titles". Is this possible in Theater View or only Standard View? I assume that by using Particles that each one will show as a separate listing in Theater View. Correct?
I use particles just fine on TV eps BD rips even with meta data lookups.
It is more of a PITA to tage up chpters (eg making a song list on music BD)
What is "TV eps BD rips"?
Glad to know that Particles is working fine for you. Thought I had read of some people having difficulties.
Thanks again for your suggestions jmone.
If WAF (Woman acceptance factor) relies on full menu support (extras etc...) and you come from MM then you have no other choice :
If your files are local : store in iso or bdav and then use an external player (today still only way to have full menu support) because it will be a nightmare and really cumbersome to tag all separate chapters and titles (even worse if it's a TV-serie BD or a concert BD)
if you intend to use MC as a server and another HTPC (MC) as renderer then the iso format will not work in a MC remote library environment and bdmv is the only way to go.
So bdmv is your best bet. Also coming from MM I just converted all my BD iso's to bdmv.
Thanks for your suggestions. Not sure what "MM" is. Microsoft Media Center perhaps?
At this point we are only using video files locally. That could change someday. I definitely don't want to use an external player - Too happy with ROHQ and need all the good audio stuff, DSP etc in MC.
I need to confirm, but I think that MC rips BDs to BDMV natively.
