Blu-Ray Support.

[mmatlive]

Hi guys, just wanted to now if Blu-Ray support is in the pipeline for Recode? Cheers!

Well, in this case you should directly contact the Nero support. I don't think it will be implemented in Nero 11 anymore. But if you have your bluray on your HDD, you can import the m2ts-stream directly. When you transcode to mp4 or mkv, all audio tracks will be recognized.

Hi Mmatlive,

Blu-ray is still not available in Nero Recode, you can use Nero Video to encode and decode blu-ray video file. The suggestions from Mister_M is helpful.

Best regards,

Will all subtitle tracks be recognized?

Unfortunately blu-ray subtitles aren't supported by Nero Recode. The subtitles are stored in a seperate folder of the bluray structure. At the moment I include the subtitles with a little workaround. First I demux the subtitles from the blu-ray structure on my HDD with tsMuxeR and convert them to srt-subtitles. Then I mux those into the mkv-file I made with Recode (has one of the best H.264 codecs throughout the market) with MKV Toolnix.

A bit of work but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the hints

[Mister_M]

For converting the subtitles to srt you can use SupRip.

The trial version of Nero 12 does not let you test the Blu-ray features. I've been looking at the Nero 12 Recode user-manual.

It looks like subtitles are still not supported in Nero Recode for Blu-ray. Does anyone know if that is correct?

Thanks...

Mister_M,

Could you provide some more information about the "separate folder" for Blu-ray sub-titles you mention?

The software I use to recode Blu-ray movies with takes the soft-subtitles (and/or CC, forced-subs, etc.) in the \MOVIENAME\BDMV\STREAM\01234.m2ts files and (optionally) re-muxes them into the output files. There is no "separate directory" involved. You know, kind-of like how DVDshrink and Nero 9 Recode used to do subtitles for DVDs back in the old days.

Always like to learn something new :-)

Thanks...

Add another voice to the "How does Recode 12 handle BD subs?" choir. I'm curious if you can rip a BD to an MP4 with multiple audio & subtitle tracks.

[Mister_M]

@ truerock: That was a mistake of me. The subs are stored directly in the m2ts file. You are right. I thought of the chapters in that moment. Those are normally stored in the playlist files.

@ VinceA: I have to disappoint you. Recode 12 doesn't recognize BD-subtitles. But all audio tracks are recognized and their order can be changed now. Unfortunately chapters aren't recognized neither.

[VinceA]

Oh well. That saves me the $50 upgrade fee. I'll stick to using MakeMKV, Handbrake & Freemake Video Converter for now as my BD->MP4 toolkit for now.

I feel that having support for multiple audio tracks without support for subtitles is a bit shortsighted. Usually, though not always, one will need the subs when they listen to the other audio track. Currently the only use I'd have for multiple audio tracks without subs would be for discs that have commentary tracks.

Yep, that's right. I also miss subtitle support when encoding to mkv or AVI.

Upgrade to Windows 8 and you may be surprised to find that you can no longer play video DVDs. Unlike previous versions of Windows, Windows 8 doesn’t include built-in support for playing DVDs. Truth be told, DVD playback is a legacy feature in an age of pervasive connectivity and new Windows device types like Ultrabooks, tablets, and hybrid PCs that lack optical drives in the first place. But it’s easy to add DVD playback to Windows 8 if you really need it.

1. Use a Licensed DVD Player

If you purchased a new Windows 8 computer that comes with a DVD drive, your computer’s manufacturer has likely included DVD-playing software with your computer. To examine all the software on your computer, use the All Apps screen. Press the Windows key to access the Start screen, right-click anywhere on the Start screen, and select All Apps. Scroll through the list of installed applications and look for a DVD-playing program.

2. Purchase the Windows 8 Media Center Pack

If, however, there’s not a configured DVD-playing app on your Windows 8 computer, you need to purchase from Windows app store a media player that support DVD playback. If you have Windows 8 Pro, you can purchase the Windows 8 Media Center Pack to activate Windows Media Center and DVD playback on your computer. By the way, Windows Media Center, which includes DVD playback, is no longer included in the original Windows 8 OS. Microsoft is offering the Windows 8 Media Center Pack for free until January 31, 2013 – click here to get it. The Windows Media Center, however, does not work with Windows RT.

You may also install a third-Party app like VLC media player to enable DVD playback on Windows 8.

3. Rip DVD to Windows 8 supported format

Despite that there’re several DVD Player apps available for Windows 8, many new Windows 8 Ultrabooks, tablets, and hybrid PCs lack of optical drives. If you have a Microsoft Surface RT, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, or ASUS Vivo Book, it’s better to rip DVD to MP4 and access the digital version of the movies. This can be done on a Windows 7, Vista, 2000, or XP PC. Just get a Windows 8 DVD Ripper (Currently 30% off) and follow the process below:



1. Press load icon to crack copy protection and import DVD movie from the optical drive.

2. When the DVD is loaded, Press on the Format bar. Now choose a format that you’d like to export. For Window 8 tablet/Ultrabook you may set "Windows > Microsoft Surface Windows RT H.264 Video (*.mp4)" preset,

3. Press the big Convert button to rip DVD to Windows 8 RT/Pro supported MP4 video.

When a DVD is ripped into MP4 video, you can add it to share folder or home media server and have your Windows RT/Windows 8 device to access it wirelessly. You may also further rip Blu-ray movies to the media center if you like – just get a 40% off Blu-ray Ripper for Windows 8 instead.
