| This information is certainly available out there, but I didn't find it back when I was working on solving it, so I wrote up my notes as a little guide.
The goal: Take Blu-Ray discs and archive them to my file server, then stream them to the PS3 in full HD. Limitations: This guide goes over AVC encoded discs, not VC-1 or MPEG2 The process: I'm using Cars, an AVC encoded blu-ray disc. Cars is an AACS protected Blu-Ray title from Disney. The following guide is what can be done to rip the film onto a file server, then serve the video to a Playstation 3. Software used: a. AnyDVD HD from Slysoft, to remove AACS protection b. TsRemux v.0.0.20 c. Twonky Step 1: Rip the disc. I used a Phillips SPD7000P Blu-Ray drive with AnyDVD HD. Right click the AnyDVD HD icon, and select rip video to disk. I let it do its thing, and it ripped all 38.5 gigs off the disc. Step 2: Locate the movie. Looking at the raw video data, in CARS_USA/BDMV/STREAM/, I picked out the largest video file. 00060.m2ts, 28.5GB. Step 3: Re-mux the video. Open up TsRemux. Load up 0060.m2ts, and set an output file name of your choice. I chose something descriptive - "Cars avc lpcm.m2ts". A box will be populated with the elementary streams found on the ripped data. Choose "AVC Video Stream #17" and "Dolby Digital Audio Stream #1". Choose "M2TS" as the output format. Keep other options as their defaults. Press the "Remux" button, and let it go. Optionally, you can select the "Lossless PCM Audio Stream # 0" instead of the Dolby Digital audio track for lossless audio glory, but it will cost you about 6GB of size in the end file (27GB vs. 21.3GB). Step 4: Load it in TwonkyMedia. I used TwonkyMedia 4.4.4, installed in a VMWare client on my file server, but it can be run on most modern Windows machines. I shared a network directory where I had the file and set up other configuration options in Twonky. You can certainly use other programs to serve the media, or copy it to the playstation 3 itself. In my case, I use my file server as a media server. Step 5: Find other content. In the Cars case, there are a couple of other interesting files in there for the kids - the shorts. 00036.m2ts is "Matar and the Ghost Light", 00037.m2ts is "One Man Band", a pixar short, 00038.m2ts is the "Epilogue", and 00052.m2ts is "Bounding Cars", a Cars-oriented version of an old Pixar short. This other content is all in either AVC or mpeg2 format with a single audio track which will stream to the PS3 without any remuxing, as the main film needed. |
