Why so many titles if it is only one movie?

Post by Golgo13 »

Hello.
When I open a blu-ray disk (taken 3 in this case) the program wants to save several titles and not only one. Why this behaviour if there is only a movie in the disk?.
Have I something wrong in the program configuration?.
This is what I mean:

Thanks.

Welcome to the world of Lionsgate... where they'll put dozens to hundreds of fake file names on a disk, to hide the real one. And which one is "real" changes with where you bought the disk; that is, if someone says "it's file 506", it might not be the same on yours.

A search for "bluray playlist obfuscation youtube" will come up with a video that explains how to use tools available on Windows to find the correct title, if you don't find someone who posted the match for your particular disk.

Mike has said he is working on code to determine which is the right title, but I have not seen anything about that in months. Lionsgate keeps changing things, apparently, which only seems to affect those of us who paid for the disks, rather than those who pirate them. :roll:

I thought "playlist protection" only existed in America? I'm pretty sure the Taken 3 issue is caused by there being both "theatrical" and "unrated" versions of the movie on the disc. The other two playlists are probably just Region A and Region B or something to do with Java.

These same titles have to be copied to play right.

Inserting the disc in a blu ray player made more than 2 years ago that is not an Oppo will produce what people call bitstream bombs. At random points in the movie, all your speakers will crackle at full volume because the player was unable to keep the audio stream going. This is because of these assholes (Lionsgate) skewing the file all over the disc so the player has to keep seeking to play the movie.
