Bluray Tools - What / Where are they?

[Electron003]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but here goes...

I have not moved to BD yet - mainly because there doesn't seem to be a lot of tools to manage the BD structure once its on a HDD. I am probably wrong about this.

I have a lot of tools for DVD though.

My favourite is DVDRemakePro. There are numerous others...DVDShrink, Multishrink, DVDSubEdit, IFOEdit, VOBBlanker...and a host of other tools.

I still use DVDShrink because of Multishrink, but also because it can cut at a frame (not sure what type) without there being a chapter there. CloneDVD2 can't do this that I know of (even though I have and use the software).

Is there any tool like DVDRemakePro for BD?
What about subtitle tools for BD?
What other tools are out there?

I don't know anything about the internal structure of BD, but in time I'd like to learn. I have heard of BD-Rebuilder (but not sure on exactly all it can do - mostly for shrinking I think).

The things I want to do...

1. Add extra chapters to BD structure.
2. Jumpover unnessary stuff at the beginning of a movie
3. Work with forced subtitles
4. Blank video segments

The first two are easy with DVDRemakePro

Appreciate any insight. Cheers

You could start from here:

There is no easy way to re-author a Blu-ray with menus.
To demux/remux and make a movie only is easy, compress with intact menu is easy.
To create your own BD with menu, adding video, audio and subtitles is also rather easy.
It's a learning curve but once you get a hang of it's a lot of fun to make your own BDs.

Maybe ConvertXtoHD, but afaik there's no way to "combine" BD's and add an extra menu on top like DVDRemake can do. CxHD would keep the video but you'd loose all original menu's
