This Australian version (released by Warner Bros here) turned out to have exactly the same specifications as the US version <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avsforum.com\/avs-vb\/showthread.php?t=1155731#anchorG\">shown here<\/a>, including the disc size.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemasquid.com\/blu-ray\/tools\/bdinfo\">BDInfo 0.5.3<\/a> disclosed the usual information, and I was interested to note the existence of a 118 minute SD extra on the disc. This was playlist 00011.mpls, which uses file 00013.m2ts, and no other file. Here&#8217;s the playlist report for that one:<\/p>\n<pre>PLAYLIST REPORT:\r\n\r\nName:                   00011.MPLS\r\nLength:                 1:58:27 (h:m:s)\r\nSize:                   6,535,593,984 bytes\r\nTotal Bitrate:          7.36 Mbps\r\n\r\nVIDEO:\r\n\r\nCodec                   Bitrate             Description\r\n-----                   -------             -----------\r\nMPEG-2 Video            6974 kbps           480i \/ 29.970 fps \/ 4:3\r\n\r\nFILES:\r\n\r\nName            Time In         Length          Size            Total Bitrate\r\n----            -------         ------          ----            -------------\r\n00013.M2TS      0:00:00.000     1:58:27.900     6,535,593,984   7,356<\/pre>\n<p>So what could this be? None of the extras on the disc were this length. Each nicely related to other files and playlists on the disc.<\/p>\n<p>When I finished entering the disc details into my database, I dragged 00013.m2ts into a media player, and it turned out to be the video &#8212; and only the video, there being no sound at all &#8212; of the 29:36 featurette called &#8216;Getting Made&#8217;. It even had the same average video bitrate.<\/p>\n<p>But clearly that featurette isn&#8217;t long enough. So I jumped around within 00013.m2ts and soon discovered that it consisted of the video of this featurette repeated four times end to end.<\/p>\n<p>This item uses 6.09GB of disc space. It does nothing. Without it, the disc could have comfortably been single layered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been belatedly scanning some of my older Blu-ray discs and this morning I did GoodFellas.
