Hello, I've been reading the "BD sticky" and "BD to HDD as backup" thread, and I'm kinda lost with what I would like to do. I'm trying to find a way to compress the main movie, yet keep the menu 2 subtitles and 2 audio streams to be burn on a blank BD 25. I've been backing up my Blu-rays with Anydvd-HD, but I'm lost at what to do next. If I use meGUI to encode the main movie into an mkv, but that means I will lose the menu. Is there a way to do this? or mainly I'm stuck with having the movie and 1 audio mainstream in a container file like an mkv. For a second I though BD Rebuilder could do this but I keep on reading is useless at the current moment. Thanks in advance!
Well, on the download page here, and on the support forum for BDrebuilder, there are lots of issues with the beta version, I guess there is no other way to get this done at the moment then, only BDrebuilder, I will try it out see if I get lucky but it sounds like it's very buggy at the moment. Now if this doesn't work, is there another way to have the main movie plus different audios or subtitles , to at least keep 1 audio stream and 2 different subtitles? all in like a mkv or something where I could choose what subtitle to use or none when playing the video. Thanks!
you can do any of that with bdrebuilder. it may technically be a beta but i havent found it to be buggy at all. nevermind what other people say just try it for yourself. all you need is FFdshow, the matroska splitter and avisynth. BD rebuilder comes with everything else. play with the options.... The only thing you cant do is save as an MKV with bdrebuilder. you could use tsmuxer to save all the streams as individual files and mux them together with an MKV muxing program. I dont have a lot to do with MKV because of lack of standalone support but i ithink the last one i used was called MKV toolnix or something similar. it was good.
I agree with Ogilvie, you have to try it. I have played with BD Rebuilder and backed up movies with and without menus and have backed these movies to dual layer DVDs and BD-R 25. The program has not failed me yet.
