What to do with .m2ts files?

[Peter Cawthron]

I have downloaded some .m2ts files from TPB and I would like some suggestions. My setup is mostly stereo playback in foobar from a NAS. I don’t want to burn any discs. An example of the .m2ts is ‘1983 - Tears For Fears - The Hurting [Blu Ray Audio]’ which comprises a 6Gb .m2ts together with a folder of cover art.

 

I can’t play this file in foobar but I can in VLC and PowerDVD 14 where it is a single 41 minute track. I can also play in TotalMedia Theatre 5 as a single track but it can rather pointlessly be stepped through in 2 minute increments by use the Next Track button.

 

To use in foobar I’m looking at extraction. Using tsMuxerGUI I can get a 1.4Gb WAV that plays as a single track in foobar.

 

What is the best thing to do? Is there a way of extracting to multiple WAV/FLAC based on the Blu-Ray chapter information that I assume is still present? To use a cue file generator on the WAV seems a poor solution.

use audiomuxer

will generate individual wav/flac tracks

It's free too

you can then use a free flac tagging program to rename the tracks

I use TagScanner for this

Thanks for the quick response. But AudioMuxer would be splitting the WAV? I want to extract from the BDAV file if possible.

I use one of these methods:

During the ripping process it will generate a single flac file and a chapter file. I use the chapter file to create a cue file. Then you can use the cue file to convert the big flac into tracks with foobar2000.

Since your blu-ray is already ripped you could use MKVExtractGUI2 to extract the audio and the chapter file.

Yes audiomuxer will split the wav into individual tracks if there are LPCM tracks

choose "Extract Audio From Bluray"

then open the various files in the Playlist folder to see what tracks are on the disc..highlight the one you want then extract 

if no LPCM then you can extract DTSMA and use the Audio Conversion options to convert to Wav/Flac

Looks like a good solution, but PeterC said he only had the .mts files and not the whole Bluray !

And AFAIK the .mts file does not contain any track info at all........

(Just like he wrote : one long track !!)

The track info is in the playlist folder - you open a playlist file NOT  the m2ts file...

ok sorry - I didnt realize that someone would just upload a m2ts file by itself

you could get a single wave file - download a cue file and edit it to match actual times and split the wave..
