Here's the steps that I took:
1. Ran SAK, ripped BD movie to Ext HDD
2. Merged ISO onto PC - NTFS
3. Mounted ISO
4. Used AnyDVD HD to rip
5. Took largest m2TS file, and split it in 3.5/gb pieces (10 total) using generic file splitter 1.31
6. Put renamed 00001.m2ts - 00010.m2ts back onto ext fat32 HDD
7. connected to PS3, selected Video > USB hit triangle "select all"
8. First file plays awesome!!! sound excellent!!
9. 00007.m2ts, and 00010.m2ts worked as well, others gave me message "unsupported data" and one of them said "Data corrupted"
My question is, is there really a specific numbering sequence to 5 digit code and/or is it the generic file splitter that's giving me problems with this type of file format.
running FW 1.70, i got 10 parts. part 5 was corrupt. the other 9 parts played flawlessly. Even when you click on information, it was pulling up Dolby Digital as the audio codec within PS3
update: re-split the files, smaller sizes 3700 MB instead of 3800, no corrupt errors. Sony recognizes some of them with an AVC icon, hit triangle > info will show audio codec AC3. All parts of the video work!!
and i even kept all these files as raw m2ts!
