Hi, i have a Dvico tvix 5100 streaming box.
To get HD-Content for my full HD Plasma TV i use AnyDVD HD together with an LG GGW-H20L
My aim is to Rip Blu-Ray movies (only keeping the main movie with one language) as fast and easy as possible.
The movie is stored on harddisc in the dvico (or on external harddisc which is plugged to the dvico via USB)
Because i doesn't want to loose quality (and time) i don't want to reencode the movie after ripping.
I found several guides How to do this.
Now i found a very simple solution not descriped by the guides i've read so far.
It's very simple so I want to share the idea with you.
Here we go.
First i've plugged the LG and the dvico to my PC. (via USB)
You have to run AnyDVD HD to remove copy protections. (All this will not work without this great program).
Put the Blu-Ray disc in the reader and wait until AnyDVD reports that the disc is ready to read.
Now you open the explorer and navigate to the BDMV/STREAM folder of your blu-Ray disc.
Sort the Files by size. in most cases the main movie will exist of only one big .m2ts-File.
Once located you open this file in a software player to check whether the file contains the complete movie.
There are some blu-rays which doesn't consist of one file (for example "Cars"). This makes things more complicated.
This guide will concentrate on the Easy-ones (luckily that are more than 90% of all movies) where the main movie is just one file.
Now open this .m2ts-file directly (without ripping) with the program tsmuxergui from the blu-Ray disc.
Here you can easily select the movie track (normally track 1) and the AC3 track which contains the language you need.
Other languages and subtitles can be selected when needed.
Now select the output format as m2ts and the destination folder directly on the tvix.
The rest is done with one click. Press start and the Muxer software will read the data through AnyDVD and write directly to the destination file.
No reencoding is done. The smaller file size will only be the result of throwing away unneeded language data and subtitles.
There is no need to rip unused things to harddisc and throw away theses data later (like most guides say).
In most cases this will really work very fast.
Now i've one question left:
Is there a list of Blu-ray discs together with the information
- how many streams consists the main movies
- what is the main movie stream ID ? (or what is the correct order of the ids if the movie consists of more than one file)
- What is the original size of the complete disc (ripped to harddisc)
- What is the original size of the main movie (resulting .m2ts file only)
- What is the size of the movie and one AC3 Track (resulting .m2ts file only)
If there is no such list. Let us start one !

maybe i will think about it if my blu-ray collection grows further
