I rip out the main movie using DVDFab while still keeping it in ISO format. This is my preferred method, and it works great for popcorn hours. Now that XBMC supports lossless and BD ISO I decided to give it a try, and I love it.. up until the point until I actually try to play stuff. I tried both the release, and the nightly build.
Here's my issues:
1) Subtitles on 50% of my ISOs disappear about .1 seconds after they show up.
2) The video quality is a night and day difference compare to my popcorn hour. Everything played on XBMC seems soft and blurry, i'm using the same display with the same settings to compare.
3) It doesn't seem to detect if a subtitle track is suppose to be ON by default. You can either have them on or off, if I have a BD ISO that specifies "I want subtitle track 2 on when the movie starts", it doesn't seem to do it.
4) If I set XBMC to match my refresh rate to the movie being played, the movie gets about 2FPS. I'm using a Sony HX929 and a GTX680, both are very high end.
I really want to get XBMC working without having to convert to MKV. I have over 50TB of ISOs on a home server, so I am not willing to convert to MKV when they already work on the popcorn hour. I enjoy XBMC interface much more and it allows me to use a much more powerful computer for playback then a popcorn hour, so I hope these problems are fixable. Any ideas?
Thanks.
