Normally, I would just pick the first one and run with it, but when I did that with Frozen, the resulting movie was flawed - it had tiny bits (a second here, 2 seconds there) cut from random places in the movie. I didn't want to look at the properties of each file, let alone WATCH every one to make sure it was the right one. I don't remember all the details with Frozen, but for Mockingjay, there were literally HUNDREDS of identical files, all saying they were English, all the same size.

Obviously we are not talking rocket science here, but I have seen enough questions from people asking about multiple playlists that I thought it would be good to put together a quick guide on how to handle.I have had this problem with a few BDs, including Frozen and, just now, Mockingjay Part 1.

Now that we know what m2ts files to key in on, navigate to the files via Windows Explorer (Disc -> BDMV -> Stream) and play each m2ts, looking for what the difference could be.įor 344.m2ts I can see that the word “present” is written in French, so this would indicate that the playlist with this m2ts file (00801.mpls) is the French version of the movie.įor 357.m2ts I can see that the word “present” is written in Spanish, so this would indicate that the playlist with this m2ts file (00802.mpls) is the Spanish version of the movie.įor 320.m2ts I can see that the word “present” is written in English, so this would indicate that the playlist with this m2ts file (00800.mpls) is the English version of the movie. The first such change is with the second m2ts file in each playlist (00801.mpls uses 344.m2ts, 00802.mpls uses 357.m2ts, and 00800.mpls uses 320.m2ts) These few are the ones we want to focus on as there must be something going on with each one that differentiates each playlist.

If you look closely at each playlist you will notice that nearly all m2ts files are identical with the exception of a few. Right below each playlist is a list of all m2ts files that actually make up the playlist (so for each main movie playlist there are multiple m2ts files). As you can see below there are multiple playlists available, with three of them appearing to be the main movie (00801.mpls, 00802.mpls, and 00800.mpls). With the disc inserted (and the encryption removed via AnyDVD running in the background), Step 2 of Clown_BD will present all available playlists. Since I will be using Clown_BD to actually create my main movie rip I simply rely on it via its use of eac3to to view the playlist.

There are several tools you can use to view the playlists (such as BDInfo, HDBRStreamExtractor, etc…).

So in a case like this, how do you figure out what the correct playlist you want is without ripping each playlist and then watching for those small changes? Well, let’s take a look at one method to sort this out, using my software duo of AnyDVD + Clown_BD: The language differences though are not actually the audio track but instead the wording (for example there may be a logo on a door during the movie, and this logo is what changes according to the playlist you choose). Many of these discs that I have encountered typically have three different versions of the main movie (French, Spanish, and English). Disney Blu-rays seem to be the most notorious for this.

However, there are cases where just looking at the playlist it is extremely difficult to determine the correct playlist unless you want to attempt trial and error. Another easy way to determine the correct playlist would be to look up the actual movie runtime (whether it be from IMDB or other). For example, if you have a movie that has the theatrical release and the extended cut you know that the runtime for the extended cut will be the longer of the two. In some instances it should be fairly obvious what each playlist is. Typically this will occur when there are multiple languages of the same movie included on the disc, or when there are different versions (such as a theatrical and extended version). Odds are if you rip your Blu-ray collection (the main movie only) using a tool like Clown_BD you have come across at least several movies where there have been multiple playlists for what appear to all be for the main movie.
