By using ImgBurn and selecting "Write image file to disc", these iso's can be burnt straight to DVD5 discs to be played back on any stand-alone, AVCHD compatible, Blu-ray or DVD-HD player, including PS3. Please note that regular DVD players are incapable of rendering Hi-Definition video, so they will NOT play these movies without re-encoding them.
Alternatively, if you want to stream the movies or watch them on your computer, Daemon Tools virtual drive can be used to mount the image files, or PowerISO v4.5 or any later version can be used to extract the files and folders from the iso's. These are blu-ray/AVCHD iso's, not DVD iso's, so applications like WinRAR or MagicISO will NOT recognise them. The movie files themselves will be located in the BDMV/STREAM folders, and will be named "00000.m2ts". Once extracted, if you decide to save the movies by burning them onto DVD5 discs, your ImgBurn settings need to be as follows:-
Click "Write files/folders to disc"
Add both the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders
Select the Options Tab-
Data Type = MODE1/2048
File System = UDF
UDF Revision = 2.50
Make sure that the "Recurse Subdirectories" field IS checked, and all other fields are NOT checked.
Insert your DVD5 disc and click Burn.
The relevant codecs need to be installed to watch any HD movie on your computer. K-Lite's codec pack is free to download, but there are numerous others.
These disc images include the PGS stream subtitles that are listed above, but unless they are marked as being hard-coded, they will NOT display if you watch the movies on your computer, hence why we have also included .srt format subtitles so that you can add/load then to your media player manually if required.
Fair warning - Many computers will struggle to render Hi-Def video smoothly unless they're up-to-date and/or fast, so if the movie is sluggish or out-of-sync, don't worry; it's your hardware, not us! (=
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our releases are in this format for a reason - it is the most all-round, usable format for streaming, watching on a computer, and has file/folder structure for burning to disc, but it will suit some people more than others. If you don't like the format, then get over it, and move on - you can whine all you like, we are not changing it.
For anyone else, your feedback is appreciated, and please give back at least what you take - it's what keeps this community alive.
