3D BD to movie only BDMV possible?

[glenns]

I don't know much about streaming from a server to a blu-ray player maybe some else can help you with that.

To play 3d movie on software players download Fab Virtual drive from the front page its a free program that you use to play 3d movies with softwear players like Power dvd.You load the movie into virtual drive then you can play it in Some software players on the computer..

If you use the highest settings on MKV you end up with a giant file.Both formats are just containers but mkv lets you use other 3d party free software to do things to the file.I don't know about subtitles others here may answer the question if there's a fix for side by side subtitles showing up wrong.

After you have virtual drive load the 3d movie in it (Virtual drive will act as a separate drive and show up as a different drive on your computer.example drive f hd drive you can have more than 1 also) use the virtual drive as the source for your media player or software player to play back as the virtual drive simulates a full 3d player.When using make sure your player plays the drive virtual drive makes (example drive f hd drive) A 3d file must have a miniso to play with a software drive on the computer so make one with the virtual drive
if fab didn't already make one with the fab file.Look at the movies files and see if theirs a miniso file if none make one with virtual drive.

So I can't play the BDMV folder on my player? My player (Oppo BDP-103) doesn't support ISO but does support BDMV.

if fab didn't already make one with the fab file.Look at the movies files and see if theirs a miniso file if none make one with virtual drive.Also a media drive plays files from a hard drive attached to it and that's the drive you target when ripping although some can stream from your computers drive i am not sure if they can also play directly from your computers drive so read the media players directions on this as mine is set to play direct from a attached external 3t hard drive by UBS and HDMI wires to the tv.

One thing I noticed with the blu-ray SBS is that the subtitles do not show up properly if you turn them on - half are on one side and half on the other. Is there anyway to fix this?

Also, I tried to generate a movie only BDMV folder and it doesn't seem to load at all on either my PC or my media player - is there anything special you have to do?

The folder is the same size as the disk if we are talking a 1-1 copy no compression full disk.If you do just main movie then what ever size the main movie is minus the trailers and extras on the disk.Now you can also compress it down to fit a 25gig disk or file it will compresses down to 22gigs or so for the whole disk or less for the main movie.under main movie you can compress these down to regular dvd sizes 4.7 or 8.5 gigs.If your going to make a movie data base and store these disks as you will fill up a hard drive fast with 50 gig disks.

Side by side is a m2ts data format 1080i in one eye and reduced resolution in the other and can be made much smaller (your 3d tv must be able to do side by side most do) Same 3d effects but more compressed.They are still high resolution and can be put on regular 1 and 2 layer regular dvds or files that size that play on most dvd players that can play m2ts files.

These aren't blu-rays but can be put on blu-ray disks.I use these on a media player and hard drive.Using 2 layer 8.5 disks or files this size.These Files looks great even on a big screen tv or projection system and you can keep the hd sound as well.one last thing the best pictures will always come from your computer or media player to your tv by hdmi streaming is a mixed bag and depends on a lot of factors all working together i avoid this as unless all is per fit you may get audio dropouts or bad picture,no picture so keep this in mind.

So if your building a data base of movies to stream you want to find one of these ways to reduce file size so you can get more disks or files on your hard drive.Most of us buy a 3d Media player that also streams and has a mini internet browser that you can use on the road or for a home backup system for about $140 and a 2-3t hard drive.My 3t hard drive cost $170 You can take the whole set up with you where ever you go their small no more disk buying,disk burning,lost disks,unreturned disks from friends.

Thanks for the feedback. Would the 3D blu-ray SBS option generate better results than 3D MKV under the blu-ray ripper set to the highest quality setting?

Yes you can rip a 3d movie to a folder.You can do full disk or main movie.Just make sure the 3d check box is checked.Do it right from the store brought disk no need to clone in this case.This is a straight 1-1 rip full 1080p resolution no compression.

If you were going to compress the movie then you make a clone to hard drive first (it's a iso) and when your compressing it the output is a file or you can have it output a iso also if that's what you wanted.Fab is very flexible.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

I also have two more questions if anyone can help as follows:

1) When ripping to a 3D movie to a BDMV folder will the folder be twice the size of the disc?

2) What does convert to blu-ray SBS 3D do? - i.e. what file format does it convert to?

Hi guys,

Is it possible to create a movie-only 3D BDMV folder?

I want to stream these from my media server to my blu-ray player which supports BDMV (including 3D BDMV) but not ISO and I was wondering if it's possible to create a movie only 3D BDMV folder and if it is possible what method I need to follow to create a movie-only 3D BDMV, do I have to:

1) Just rip the disc to movie-only BDMV folder with the 3D box checked?
2) Do I have to rip the complete disc to a BDMV folder and then do #1.
3) Do I have to clone the disc and then do #1?

Your help would be appreciated.
