			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Up until now, every Blu-ray disc I own has had the movie contained in a single, humungous M2TS file (usually 20-25GB).  Today I encountered a disc that has a bunch of smaller M2TS files.  This is, apparently, called a &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seamless_branching" target="_blank">seamless branching</a>&#8221; Blu-Ray disc.  In order to play it back from the hard drive via the HD-100 SageTV extender, you have to find the main movie stream and merge the files together.</p>
<p>Luckily, there is a turnkey solution for this &#8211; <a href="http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=1786" target="_blank">ToNMT</a> (NMT is the &#8220;Networked Media Tank&#8221;, which is essentially the same hardware as the HD-100/HD-200).  Just make sure you run it on the actual BR disc (or a complete copy of the disc), as opposed to just the Stream folder.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you are just interested in seeing which stream is the movie stream, you can use <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/BDInfo" target="_blank">BDInfo</a>.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">UPDATE</span>:</strong> I spoke too soon &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t get ToNMT to force conversion to AC3.  Since the HD-100 doesn&#8217;t support anything else (at least in my configuration), that&#8217;s a no go.  Luckily, tsRemux will load a playlist, so I just used BDInfo to find the correct playlist.  I haven&#8217;t thought through the workflow yet, but if I come across another seamless branching disc, I&#8217;ll put together something.</p>
