Copy of Blu-Ray with menus

I tried to copy some of my personal blu ray discs, made with Premiere CS6 and Encore CS6 for authoring, but the program does not copy all the menus. It is written that the menus are not copied because their length is less than 120 seconds. Is there any way to set up in order to copy also my smaller menus? Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

"less than 120 seconds" means that you have not changed the default "minimum length" parameter in your preferences, AND that you are using the "open" method to process the BD into individual MKV files, rather than the "backup" method.

MKV files do not maintain the BD structure, with menus... Menus are not part of the specification for MKV files.

If you want menus, you need to use the "backup" method, which saves everything as M2TS files, and allows for menus.

This document is a draft of the Menu system that will be the default one in Matroska. As it will just be composed of a Control Track, it will be seen as a "codec" and could be replaced later by something else if needed.
Draft (as in not part of the standard yet) of something that "will be", but "could be replaced later".

In any case, it isn't applicable to the discussion of MakeMKV behavior, yet.

Therefore the smiley. Even if it were finalized in the standard, I'm pretty sure no standalone would support it (properly) ever.
