Blu-rays with extra video in m2ts files

[Woodstock]

Are you sure the Death Note disks are genuine? The US BD version is individual files per episode, with chapter breaks, and no "extra junk" spread through it.

100%, it's the Complete Series UK release as seen here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Death-Note-Com ... C47&sr=8-4

Edit: I found the thread from this thread where someone had the same issue years back.

So for Death Note i figured out a work around, i hope it can help somebody else

seems you can extract the episodes by loading the playlists at BDMV/PLAYLIST into MKVToolNix after making a backup without the encryption, the seem to be 00005.mpls - 000011.mpls on each disc are the episodes, MKVToolNix will find the video files on its own once you import the playlist it seems

doing it like so avoids the blank spots in the video and also doesn't include the video info splash screen and you get to keep the chapters

further note
Disk 4 the english is audio track is a mix of 16 and 24 bit further making it difficult to rip, i solved this issue by using BDedit to modify the playlists to point to video 0 and extracting the first secound from that
