Am I right to assume that it plays fine on a BluRay player through USB? I'm sorry to hear that you have wasted resources trying to get this to work. I don't have any prior experience authoring BR discs, and don't have any myself. All I did was use Compressor's build-in BluRay video preset. Stuttering makes me suspect the bitrate, but I authored it well within the appropriate range, so I really can't say what's causing this problem.

I haven't tried that yet - unfortunately my player is restricted to the FAT32 file format which I think restricts me to 8GB file sizes? I guess I could try splitting it into sections though and see how my player (an Oppo BDP-83) handles that. I don't know much about it either, but if I find something that works I'll let you know. Will try de-muxing, and re-muxing it again and see if that works.

At any rate, thanks for such an awesome piece of work. Trying to make any of the prequels watchable is commendable ;) I've just had a quick scan through of various scenes on my computer & it looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the results of all your re-editing.
