Can anyone tell me if there is one preferred file type for bluray playback with J River 17?
I had been using iso under my WMC7/MyMovies/TMT5 setup, but have recently discovered J River and have decided to abandon my WMC implementation. I only keep the video stream and the lossless audio track. Menus, warnings, extras, etc. are left behind. I keep the best quality possible. Disk space is not a concern.
From what I understand...
m2ts: native BR format; plays on many hardware platforms, does not support chapters.
mkv: slightly smaller than m2ts format; supports chapters, less platform support.
iso: not sure if there is any real advantage here; but I has used this in the past.
If I go with mkv, what functionality am i picking up with chapter support... do I actually see the chapter names or just the time stamps (I'm confused on this part) Thanks for the help!!!
