Bad Santa 2 - fpl_mainfeature_r vs fpl_mainfeature_ur?

[ikomrad]

Makemkv found 2 track on the blue-ray that appear to be the main title.

fpl_mainfeature_r - 26GB
fpl_mainfeature_ur - 29.1GB

I didn't know the difference between the 2 so went with the larger file size. That seems to be the safe bet.

However, this picques my interest. What is the difference between the two?

Guesses
* I think FPL stands for "featured play list" .
* R might mean 'rated'
* UR might mean 'unrated'

It wouldn't always be a safe bet Some movies (maybe a Harry Potter movie that did this?) have a playlist for a playback mode where, at certain points in the movie, the movie is interspersed with behind-the-scenes material. In those cases, the larger file size would not result in the main movie

In this case, I think you're on the right track. This movie was originally rated R, so _r could be R and _ur could be unrated.

I don't own this movie, but from Blu-ray.com, the back of the Blu-ray case says that Theatrical is 92 minutes and Unrated is 95 minutes. Checking the length of the playlists is a good method.

Different versions of movies can sometimes have a LOT of differences, not just added scenes, but alternate scenes, alternate takes, different endings, etc. I generally like to rip both.

https://www.movie-censorship.com/ is a decent site (if sometimes awkward to read due to translation of non-English authors) where they go into detail about what exactly all the differences are in the various versions of movies, if you have a movie with multiple cuts and you want to decide which one to watch.

Thanks for the great tip. I'll keep that in mind for my next rip
