Hi there.
Now I own a Blu-ray rom for a few weeks, I upgraded my AnyDVD to AnyDVD HD and bought WinDVD 9.
Because there are Problems with WinDVD like it does not play the Blu-ray Images and heavy Soundproblems, I have tried to find a solution.
So here is what worked fine for me:

How to create Blu-ray Images for WinDVD 9:
- be sure that AnyDVD HD is not running
- insert the Blu-ray you want to copy
- start WinDVD 9 and play the movie
- now collect the first information: is a subtitle active ? If so, the first info is wich subtitle is active.
- exit WinDVD 9
- start AnyDVD HD and be sure that only Blu-ray supporting is enabled, none of the other options.
- start BDInfo and collect the second information: wich Playlist is the one needed for the movie.
- collect the third information in BDInfo: wich Streamfile(s) are used in the Playlist for the movie.
- exit BDInfo
- start BDEdit and read the BDMV of your Blu-ray
- In BDEdit go to the Playlist tab, read the Playlist for the movie and save the chapters.
- exit BDEdit
- start tsMuxeR
- choose the Blu-ray method
- choose the folder where you want tsMuxeR to create the files.
- change to the Blu-ray tab and choose 'No chapters'.
- change back to the Input tab.
- add the (first) Streamfile for the movie
- if there are more than one Streamfile for the movie, join them in the right order
- remove the streams you don't want to keep. (because of 'forced Subtitles' you should keep all Subtitles of your language)
- start muxing
- exit tsMuxeR when its done.
- exit AnyDVD HD
- start BDEdit
- read the BDMV from the new Blu-ray files wich tsMuxeR has created.
- change to Playlist tab and read it too.
- load the chapters you have saved
- if there has been an active subtitle (first information) change to the BDMV tab and do the following:
-- highlight Navigation command No. 0001 from movie obeject 0 (Move GPR0,0) and press +
-- now edit the inserted command:
--- select Set, SetSystem, SetStream
--- enable the two checkmarks on the right
--- change the two 'GPR' to 'Imm'
--- the lower number should stay 0
--- the upper number is depending on wich subtitle should be enabled by default: For the first subtitle you have remained in tsMuxeR type 49153, for the second 49154 and so on.
--- press the mousebutton somewhere else in BDEdit, so the navigation command shows the entered values
-- press Save
- press Save in the Playlist tab.
- exit BDEdit
- start Windows Explorer and move to the new BDMV folder
- copy the 'JAR' folder into the BDMV/BACKUP folder (tsMuxeR does not create it).
- depending on your BDEdit options you have used, you mabe have to delete Backups BDEdit saved for the two *.bdmv files (if you inserted a command for starting a Subtitle by default)
- if you have saved new *.bdmv files, copy them to the BDMV/BACKUP folder (overwrite) (BDEdit does not do this even if its checked in the options)
- copy the Playlist file located in the Playlist folder to the BDMV/BACKUP/PLAYLIST folder (overwrite) (and don't forget to delete the backup file if BDEdit created one)
- start ImgBurn
- choose create image from files / folders
- be sure the 'Auto' checkmark is enabled
- in the options tab the file system should be UDF and the revision 2.50
- drag and drop the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders from windows explorer into ImgBurn
- in the Labels tab enter the UDF label of your choice
- choose a destination and start the Image-creation.

How to find the needed playlist and streamfile(s):
I've sucessfuly ripped Wall-E a few weeks ago.
Since there has been more than one playlist wich have the same runtime, the first problem was to find the needed one.
Don't remember exactly, but thinking there has been 3 with the same runtime and another two wich had both the same runtime just a few minutes shorter then the other three.
So you should start the movie with WinDVD or PowerDVD in order to check up wich runtime is the one for you.
For me it was the longer runtime (the three ones).
Next step was to have a look at the streamfiles in the three playlists and find the differeces between them. The playlists contained multiple streams, the first has been the same in all three playlist but the second had different size.
So all I had to do was taking a look at these with Media Player Classic. It was very easy with Wall-E because these second streams contained the openig credits in different language.
If there are multiple playlists with the same runtime and the streamfile(s) are identical, the only thing to be cleared is if there are differences in the chapterlist.

Subtitles:
You maybe want to keep Subtitles wich are shown by default. (e.g.: In segments different language is spoken.)
There are two types of those subtitles:
- 'Forced' subtitles: Normally covered in a stream wich also contains the full subtitle for the movie but marked as 'forced'.
- The other way: There exists a sperated subtitle stream wich normally is enabled by default.
So just keep the subtitles of your language and if WinDVD starts a subtitle by default on the original Blu-ray, enable it with BDEdit using the SetStream command.

Understanding the 'SetStream' command:
Example:
SetStream x, y
x is the first value = 4 bytes (2 bytes pg_text stream, 2 bytes audio stream)
y is the second value = 4 bytes (2 bytes ig stream, 2 bytes angle stream)

first value (pg_text and audio stream):

00000000 00000000 10000000 00000001 = 32769 -> disp off pg stream 1 (red bit=display on / off)
00000000 00000000 10000000 00000010 = 32770 -> disp off pg stream 2
....
00000000 00000000 11000000 00000001 = 49153 -> disp on pg stream 1
00000000 00000000 11000000 00000010 = 49154 -> disp on pg stream 2
....
10000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 = 2147549184 -> set audio stream 1
10000000 00000010 00000000 00000000 = 2147614720 -> set audio stream 2
10000000 00000011 00000000 00000000 = 2147680256 -> set audio stream 3
....
10000000 00000011 11000000 00000010 = 2147729410 -> set audio stream 3 + pg disp on pg stream 2

second value (ig and angle stream):

00000000 00000000 10000000 00000001 = 32769 -> set angle stream 1
00000000 00000000 10000000 00000010 = 32770 -> set angle stream 2
....
10000000 00000001 00000000 00000000 = 2147549184 -> set ig stream 1
10000000 00000010 00000000 00000000 = 2147614720 -> set ig stream 2
...
10000000 00000010 10000000 00000010 = 2147647490 -> set ig stream 2 + angle stream 2
10000000 00000011 10000000 00000111 = 2147713031 -> set ig stream 3 + angle stream 7

Hint: Use the academic perspective of the windows calculator and switch between binary and dezimal to find the needed value.

Problems resolved with this guide:
- WinDVD doesn't play Blu-ray-Images at all. (Reason: Incorrect folder structure. Thanks to Adbear http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=24169)
- Heavy soundproblems with WinDVD. (Only occur to me using 6 channel sound with both WinDVD and PowerDVD installed and added the playlist instead of the streamfile(s).)
- It occur that tsMuxeR removes audioframes, telling they are overlapping, when changing to the next streamfile and added the playlist instead of the streamfiles. (e.g.: Gone in Sixty Seconds)
- Missing subtitles.

Needed Software:
- AnyDVD HD (of course)
- BDInfo: (attached)
- BDEdit: (attached)
- tsMuxeR: http://www.smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html
- ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/
- Media Player Classic: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/

Additional comments:
- Be sure to use the latest versions of the used programs especially AnyDVD HD and tsMuxeR !!!
- I mabe will revise this guide if it's necessary.
- If you find any problems appearing with this guide, please drop me a line.
- We all don't ever stop learning. This is just my actual state of knowledge. If there's anything fundamental I did not mentioned, please drop me a line too.

Great, and this takes how long for a 93 minute film ?
 
About one hour.
Depending on your system and the speed of your drive.
There are problems on some systems with the sptd-driver wich comes with daemon-tools, so you should prefer Virtual CloneDrive.
If you want to uninstall Deamon tools, you also have to uninstall the sptd-driver. To do this download the sptd-setup-file, execute it and choose uninstall. (and reboot your System)
The speed of ripping Blu-ray's could be increased extremly. (with sptd my drive ripped at about 7-8 MB/s, without it begins with 8 and grows up to 20 MB/s !!!!)

hello.
For me Windvd9 + AnydvdHD + Virtual clone drive ==> All OK
Steps :
1- Anydvd HD Active
2- Clown DB or Tsmuxer dircty
3- make an ISO with nero (if using tsmuxer directly)
4- mount iso with virtual clone drive (anydvdhd active on 'virtual' BDrom)
5 enjoy with windvd 9 or power dvd9
regards
 
I have heavy Soundproblems on many Blu-ray's even when playing from originals when AnyDVD HD is enabled. Also Images created directly with AnyDVD HD and tsMuxeR-created copys have these Soundproblem.
I wonder that you don't have these.
 
I also have no sound issues in Win DVD, and have around 300 discs with no issues
 
Hmmm.
So it should be a software conflict I think, do you agree Adbear ?
 
Possibly, I have Win DVD on multiple systems with different mobo's and soundcards with no audio issues
 
Dear Adbear.

Sure you've read my post ? I wrote about a Softwareproblem, not Hardware.
An interresting thing would be to create a threat collection information about that so we can isolate the problem sometime ?!?

I know you did and I was just saying that I've tried it on multiple systems with different hardware and had no issues so it's more likely something on your system that's causing the problem.
I've also had no problems with decrypted ISO's built using the method in my guide or just making standard 'Movie only' Blu-rays following the guides already posted on the forums.
