I have several disks which show multiple 20+ GB titles. Sometimes they are indistinguishable (same audio tracks, chapters, etc). Sometimes one of them has no chapters or has different audio tracks.
I have deduced that this is sometimes done for multi-language titles, where things like the film title or the credits are translated. Other times I have no idea why it is done, and it is not practical to watch "Batman Begins" 3 times trying to figure out what is different.
I have to assume that the variants are assembled from multiple pieces, with only the differences being different.
Is there a way to show a "map" of this or something to indicate what's going on? Even something like "title1 and title2 differ from time 00:12:34 to 00:14:56" would let me play the different MKVs in those time windows to figure out what's up.
Display a "map" of a BD disk?

Re: Display a "map" of a BD disk?
The AVS BD Info database is your friend.
Also, on the right side of the screen, when you select a title, it will show you the playlist. If you back the disc up you can play all those files to see what is what.

Is there a link to this database? I can not find anything more than informal postings of BDInfo data...
As for playlist, perhaps I just don't know how to interpret? I see:
Source file name: 00012.mpls
Duration: 2:20:02
Chapters count: 39
Size: 22.1 GB
Segment count: 1
Segment map: 0
File name: title02.mkv
Source file name: 00057.mpls
Duration: 2:20:02
Chapters count: 39
Size: 22.1 GB
Segment count: 1
Segment map: 0
File name: title04.mkv
Title information
Source file name: 00000.m2ts
Duration: 2:20:02
Size: 22.1 GB
Segment count: 1
Segment map: 0
File name: title05.mkv
Is this telling me that the film is literally encoded 3 times, totalling 66 GB of data, plus all the other tracks? That's clearly not true. So how do I tease apart mpls files? That's basically what I am asking for here

Re: Display a "map" of a BD disk?
I guess I figured it out. For multi-segment titles, the data listed tells me enough that I can go look at individual m2ts streams to see what is different (e.g. Cars2 has a Spanish title sequence).
For Batman Begins, MakeMKV does not tell me anything about the differences between titles. BDinfo showed me that there's a difference on "hidden tracks" for audio and subtitles. It would be nice if I did not have to bounce out to a different too to do that.
