Multiple m2ts files per movie

[mlorenz]

I backed-up Ion Man 2 and DVDFAB gave me several m2ts files. Before I got for my blue ray movies only one m2ts file. I use a MAC mini with PLEX to play my movies.
Is there a way to combine the m2ts files into one or is there another way to play them with PLEX.
Thanks

You would have to use the DVDFab Blu-ray Ripper module and use the m2ts passthrough option, which will create one m2ts file out of the whole blu-ray structure. BDs are meant to be played back as folders or as ISOs mounted as you will run into issues just playing the m2ts files, just like this one. Discs with multiple m2ts files are called seamless branching and are the way they are authored.

Thanks I'll try that. Another program to buy

if you burn a disc with multiple m2ts files will it play on a stand alone blu-ray player or is it necessary to follow the method above and create 1 m2ts file. The first movie I copied had only 1 file and played without a problem, the next movie has multiple m2ts files so I'm not sure if it's ok to burn all the files or not.
thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi Flabber,

The movie has multiple m2ts files should also play well.

This is a classic example of misunderstanding on both parts.

You do not burn the files, you burn the STRUCTURE !!!

OK I'll go ahead and burn 'em, thanks for your prompt reply.

yes I realize this, my problem being only the 2nd movie I'd done was not knowing if the STRUCTURE was corrupted or if it was normal to have more than one m2ts files. Discs aren't cheap, for me at least, and I have enough DVD coasters, don't need any BD ones as well.
