So I’ve got a rip of the Japanese Blu Ray of Evangelion, and I’d like to turn it from a jumble of numbered .mts files into something more useable. How do I get started going about that process? As an example, if I download a raw CD rip, I can use cuetools to turn it into a list of .flac tracks ready for listening. Is there some similar software (or multiple programs) for Blu Rays? I’m not really familiar with working with .m2ts files and don’t know where to start

EDIT: makeMKV worked (just to test, handbrake did as well, because the version I have has no DRM, but bear in mind that HandBrake is going to transcode/compress the resulting file by default). This turned the contents of the disk into 1 MKV file, which I could then run through MKVToolNix and split into individual episodes

    I’m replaying Cyberpunk, so I thought you were asking about Braindances…

    But to answer your question, Handbrake.

        Handbreak isn’t gonna do what you want, it won’t see past drm. Once you use makeMKV to remix it you can use handbreak to compress it if you want though, it’s great for that.

          That makes sense. So makeMKV to give me some useable media files, and handbrake to encode those useable files down to a more reasonable size?

            Yup exactly! Or if you have the storage space might as well keep the original quality and let whatever streamer you’re using (plex jellyfin etc) transcode for you
