I am on a Windows 7 Pro PC and tried using ImgBurn, which immediately warned me the file size was too big for a BD25. So I tried an overburn and while it finished, playback via PowerDVD is troublesome. It takes a while to load and can crash the program (the same thing happens with THE THING). My PS3 won't play it at all. So I tried burning it with different settings. Same thing.

I then used tsMuxerGUI on the downloaded files and removed all the foreign audio tracks and outputed for BD just the film and English sound. That came to 21 GB. I then used ImgBurn to create a BD. That works much better in PowerDVD, though it still can freeze when scanning.

However it will not play in my PS3 (latest firmware).

I have created BD's from numerous fan restorations and the only time I have had any trouble has been with ESCAPE and THE THING so I would urge _,,,^..^,,,_ to do additional testing. BD authoring can be tricky to nightmarish. I'd love to enjoy both of those titles because it's obvious a lot of love went into them, but alas... I can't.

So this would not even play correctly creating a movie only file? there is something very wrong with it for sure then, probably encoder settings, but this definitely sounds like this is not in spec at all.

I have sent you a PM Matt with a suggestion you could try to maybe put this in spec and possibly work, but who knows, plus you said it is a little oversize?
