Anyone Ripped Star Wars Blu Ray Discs Yet?

Aidoneus said:
Also, FAO those who care, here are the forced subtitle track numbers for the Saga:

The Phantom Menace - Track 39
Attack of the Clones - Track 39
Revenge of the Sith - N/A
A New Hope - Track 5
The Empire Strikes Back - N/A
Return of the Jedi - 38

Thanks for the list! I was away on business when MakeMKV got updated...now that I'm home - trying to rip Star Wars (which i've been dreading for this exact reason hahaha)

But your track #'s...I'm not 100% sure what they reference. In MakeMKV - it just lists tons and tons of subtitles. I counted to 39 but that's a portugese listing...

Did you do this in MakeMKV for mac or in something else for windows? Like anyDVD or whatever?

Yeah, I echo what omni said; Star Wars is one of the more complicated Blu-Rays to rip, and you are much better starting off with something simpler.

Also, FAO those who care, here are the forced subtitle track numbers for the Saga:

The Phantom Menace - Track 39
Attack of the Clones - Track 39
Revenge of the Sith - N/A
A New Hope - Track 5
The Empire Strikes Back - N/A
Return of the Jedi - ???

I haven't got round to doing Jedi yet. I'll update this post tomorrow if no one else has contributed.

ETA : Return of the Jedi - Track 38

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for this. Will this give the correct subtitles for the burn in ones?

I'm using clownbd which is giving me the track numbers listed above.

Yes. Those tracks are the English ones, obviously.

@omni - I'd extract all the subtitle files with MakeMKV. Where my track numbers will help is extracting and remuxing using MKVtoolnix.

When I ran the file and packaged it into a MKV via MakeMKV - yeah, 39 is some random portugese one (US Retail The Phantom menace - from the entire 6 film collection, although im guessing they are all the same).

I think i did find it though - track 64, which oddly enough was the last one listed. I didn't trust it at first and mostly because I couldn't remember what alien language was even spoken in TPM - I referenced it with a .srt i found that was only the alien language.

Looks right - I extracted it, converted, remuxed and now handbraking. Guess I'll know 100% sure in a couple of hours.

Can't believe i'm doing all this work for TPM....
 
It worked. Thanks to everyone in this thread that helped point me in the right direction.

Now to do EP2, 4, and 6.
 
Looks like MakeMKV updated to v1.6.15 in the past few days. Anyone knows if it works with SW yet?

I really don't want to drop the cash on these BRDs if I can't get them on my :apple:TV.
 
Yes, MakeMKV 1.6.15 can break the most recent level of BD+ encryption, allowing you to rip Star Wars, X-Men: First Class, and other recent Blu-Rays.
 
How have you guys been handling the audio with the SW rips? I have always used ClownBD to convert DTS 5.1 to DD 5.1, but it appears that Clown has a problem with the 6.1 mix on the SW discs. I want to preserve the 5.1 (or 6.1) audio for playback on the ATV.
 
You want SUB/IDX. MKVMerge will then accept this, and you can mux the whole lot back together. Then in Handbrake, select the VOBSUB option in Subtitles, check Burned In (don't check Forced Only) and encode.
 
I had the impression that BDSup2Sub would convert to VOB subs. You're telling me there's another step? If so, can you explicitly state the entire process? This was my plan:

1. Rip with MakeMKV (successful)
2. Extract BD subs using Clown_BD (successful)
3. Convert forced English subs track to VOB subs using BDSup2Sub (stuck here)
4. Use Handbrake to add the forced VOB subs burned into the movie as an MKV container with DTS audio
 
At the moment Handbrake can't add an external VOB/SUB/IDX subtitle file, only an external SRT file. So yes there's an extra step 3.5 which is: remux original MKV plus the subtitle file into a new MKV, using MKVMerge.

Yep, BDSup2Sub will convert them to vob subs, it's the SUB/IDX option. I should of stated that vob subs are SUB/IDX, sorry. But I did stated in my post that the new vob subs need to be remuxed back into the mkv, otherwise Handbrake wont see them.

Hi Cave Man,

Can I ask why you're converting the subs to SRT?

I would just rip out the sup subs, use BDSup2Sub to convert them to vob subs, remux them back into the MKV file then Handbrake it. This way the subs will retain the original look they had on the Blu-ray instead of converting them to a text file which, using OCR is prone to errors.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but my post wasn't meant be a full step by step guide.

This is the best tutorial on how to handle Blu-ray subs:-

Would it hurt to elaborate a bit more than two contracted words and one complete word?

It is not :)

In seriousness. It's a nice trick to be able to play any part of an original Blu-ray under Mac OS X (though it won't play Star Wars yet), but it needs an Internet connection to negotiate the copy protection (and it relies on the Macgo servers always being online and up to date); it doesn't play any Blu-ray menus, BD-Live or Bonus View content; and it doesn't seem to let you copy the Blu-ray so you can convert it as per this thread, it only lets you play it.

MakeMKV is free for all Mac users, as it is currently in beta.

You can download it from the MakeMKV website.
 
Forgive me if I missed it, but was there a final
only Mac
all GUI
solution for the select alien dialogue tracks in English?
Someone please take the time to list it out for us.


Step 1: Steal underpants
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Profit
