The Hobbit

[Spyderturbo007]

I just purchased the Hobbit trilogy and was trying to backup the first disk. There are 3 x 75GB tracks and I’m not sure which one to backup.

Any thoughts?

I believe the stickied FAQ answers your question:

I see multiple titles for the main movie, which one do I choose?
Just as with Blu-ray discs, there may be multiple titles on the disc for varying reasons:
- If the disc has multiple cuts, such as theatrical vs extended.
- Look at "Source file name" - one may be the mpls playlist with chapters (this is the one you want), the other the m2ts source file.
- Disney discs will have multiple titles where the difference is localization for the titles and credits. English will be 800, other languages will be 801, 802, etc. (Some older discs might be something like 200, 201, 202, etc.)
- Look at the included audio/subtitle tracks. Some discs have one playlist for English/French/Spanish/etc, and a second playlist for English/Japanese.

Thanks for the reply but I’m still not sure.

I have two different physical disks, one disk is for the theatrical version and the other is the extended cut. So they are separate physical disks.

I’m working with the extended disk.

There are two of them with chapters.

All of them have English subtitles.

This appears to be a Warner Brothers disk and is not a Disney disk so I don’t think that helps.

- Look at the included audio/subtitle tracks. Some discs have one playlist for English/French/Spanish/etc, and a second playlist for English/Japanese.

Does one include French/Spanish/etc in addition to English, and the other Japanese in addition to English?

There are two that are pretty much the same and then the one that has the Japanese. Here is what all 3 are showing.

The first and 3rd appear to be the same other than the first one says 35 Chapters. The middle on is definitely different.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry for the delay to reply, I trust you were able to figure it out.

The title without chapters is the m2ts source file, so you don't want that one.

Then you have two titles that are mpls playlists with chapters - the only difference is the audio tracks that are made available to that playlist for localization purposes. So if you happen to want the Japanese audio, you can go for the second one. Assuming you want English only, or one of the other non-English non-Japanese audio tracks, the first one is the one you want.
