still screen caps will tell you nothing, as video is pics in motion. if the still screen cap happens on a b-frame, it will look like a$$ as a one frame capture, but just fine in motion.
Got a tip for us?

Is working as I type this via SMB. I'm not explicitly sharing any folders in System Preferences->Sharing. All I did was turn on SMB.
Code:
cd ~
mkdir mmccaskill
mount.cifs //10.0.1.191/mmccaskill mmccaskill -o user=mmccaskill,pass=password
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/mmccaskill/blu-ray/disc.isoGuess I'll see what happens when it is done!
I just tried this again last night and it looks perfectly fine. The only other time I tried this, it resulted in major blocking. I now suspect I was using a pre-0.9.3 build. I will try a couple of others, but I suspect this is the way to go.
Coping from PS3 to SMB shares (to my iMac) works great here. I am actually getting a faster transfer speed copying over my Gigabit network than onto local PS3 drive!
local PS3 drive:
-----------------
667156480 bytes (667 MB) copied, 130.893 s, 5.1 MB/s
remote SMB share:
----------------------
667156480 bytes (667 MB) copied, 128.838 s, 5.2 MB/s
I don't have any Blu-ray disks to try right now, but based on the above numbers I should be able to copy 40GB Blu-ray within 90 minutes over the network. The bottleneck here is really the speed of Blu-ray drive, not the network.

Well I tried it with Iron Man but AnyDVD HD erred within a second of getting a m2ts file. I used Virtual CloneDrive, a free utility from the makers of AnyDVD HD to mount the ISO dumped from the PS3. Guess I have to wait for my actual Blu-ray drive to arrive.
If AnyDVD cannot read an ISO, you're likely to see the same result with "local" BD drive. There's no difference between a mounted ISO and local disk, as far as AnyDVD is concerned.
I will post back my results next week when I get a coupleof BD disks to play with.
I tried checking the "Disable BD-Live" then unchecking it and it worked. Weird.
So I've run tsmuxer and am now trying to open the m2ts with HandBrake. But it has been "Scanning title 1 of 1" for over 10 minutes. Is that normal? The m2ts is ~25GB
Trying Iron Man but I opened the original m2ts in Handbrake and that worked. Thanks for the guide Cave Man.
Now that I've hooked up my ps3 to the Time Capsule it is blazing fast compared the ps3 wireless. 11 GB in 22 mins.
Question if anyone has a clue. I just ripped Batman Begins, loaded tsmuxer and noticed that it has two video files:
1 - Profile: Advanced@2 Resolution: 720:480p Frame rate: 23.967
2 - Profile: Advanced@3 Resolution: 1920:1080p Frame rate: 23.967
If I open this m2ts (without using tsmuxer first) with HandBrake, is HandBrake smart enough to use the 1080p profile?
1 - Profile: Advanced@2 Resolution: 720:480p Frame rate: 23.967
2 - Profile: Advanced@3 Resolution: 1920:1080p Frame rate: 23.967

I've successfully ripped 4 blu-ray movies. Thanks to Cave Man and anyone else who contributed to the step-by-step guide.
nice...would you mind laying out the steps you used for ripping it with the ps3?
