BluRay Question

[bigo93bronco]

The way I prefer to save television series disc sets to sagetv has always been (DVD's anyways) to rip the individual episodes to MKV's in a show folder/ season folder format. Depending on how much I like the show I take the discs and remove everything but the special features using Clonedvd2 and save it into the same folder in ISO format. Does anyone know of a product that can do this with BluRay Disks? (IE: remove everyhting but the special features and save in a format that retains the interactive menus) I'm also pondering ways that I might be able to consolidate all the bonus features from each disk that makes up the season into one interactive file that I can just lable "Bonus Features". I know this isn't a purely Sagetv question, but obviously I need it to be Sagetv compatible.

See if DVDFab will do what you want. I was using it to rip my BluRays to individual episodes in MKV format. Since I switched to PC clients I went to TMT5 and I just rip the WHOLE BluRay including special features and menus with AnyDVD to a folder structure and use Fuzzy's plugin to launch TMT5.

Thanks, i'll look into that. Are you saying that sage can't natively handle bluray menus though?

You get a list of the playlists on the BluRay to select from but the menus themselves no (see graphic to see title list for Chuck Season 4 Disk 1). That was why I ripped my TV series to individual MKVs - one episode per MKV. With Movies it doesn't matter as much because you can usually choose the correct playlist to playback the movie. With TMT5 I get the menus and extras.

I really need a solution thats going to work on the extenders. Can sage handle blurays ripped to a ISO instead of bluray folder structure? Would it be possible to create a DVD ISO and combine all the bonus features from each disk into one interactive menu ISO file? I would prefer to retain the high-defintion on the bonus features but I could deal with DVD quality.

ISO or folder structure doesn't matter. SageTV plays them the same way. DVD's will support and playback with menus. BluRay's only support what you see in the graphic I posted. If you want to playback on a Sage extender you will need use what you see in the graphic or rip them to individual files.
