At most there might be a 2 minute piece that informs you that this is a ripped copy. If it is a 50GB disc, you should not be having crappy bitrates.
The reason I ask about the chapter times is because the segment and playlist numbers are different on Canadian disc than US disc. So unless someone can provide the Canadian-specific info, that was the only way I could think to get started to find the right one - to look at the chapter times, as they are different between all the playlists.
It is a physical disc that I purchased from Amazon.ca.
Unfortunately I have no use for software like PowerDVD, I don't wish to purchase it just so I can use the methods described to determine the right playlist.
And yes, the bitrate on this movie is crappy, and it was kind of a side comment, as I do realize the obfuscation itself doesn't affect the movie's bitrate - the movie is only given ~ 22 gigs total size, because this disc is crammed with bonus features all on the same disc as the movie, rather than putting them onto a second disc.
The disc I'm dealing with comes in UPC 774212005848.
I'm late to the party. Girlfriend bought this movie (UPC 774212005848) and I'm closing in on the right mpls:
00229.mpls is wrong (two scenes are flipped at the 33 mins mark, rest seems ok)
Segments: 506,502,510,504,511,507,509,501,505,503,508
00366.mpls is wrong (similar issue)
Segments: 506,504,502,510,511,507,509,501,505,503,508
Trying 00034.mpls right now
Segments: 506,502,504,510,511,507,509,501,505,503,508
