I've got a .iso file of a BluRay movie, and I want to convert that to a single .mp4 or .mkv file.

After searching around I came across this answer to a similar question. But when I use the given command line, I only get a 20 sec video file with a movie band/label animation. I guess it's some introduction animation that is at the start of the BluRay content before the actual movie.

Now, I tried the GUI version of Handbrake, and there I saw indeed a bunch of number of titles, which appear to be video contents, one of which was 1 hour 42 min, so I guess that's the movie.

However, this is where the headache starts. I am now confronted with tons of confusing options. Such as: Anamorphic, Modulus, Source resolution (which is fixed 1920x1080 in this case) versus Storage Size which is 1920 x 804 for some reason (why I would want to store it in a different size, in a different aspect ratio even, is beyond me), Cropping, Subtitles as bitmaps instead of textual (SRT) content, Constant or Variable Framerate, et cetera et cetera.

I am afraid I am entering a world of pain here.

Rather than diving into the depths of BluRay specific technicalities, two questions:

  1. Am I right in thinking that somewhere inside this BluRay ISO thing, there is a piece of video content with 1920x1080 resolution, that contains the actual movie and one or more corresponding audio tracks. And perhaps other streams or metadata like subtitles, chapter info, DVD/BluRay menus, separate cutscenes, and whatnot. But at least there should be a normal piece of video and audio content in there containing the main movie itself, correct?

  2. Can I somehow extract this video and audio content into a .mkv or .mp4 file without changing its resolution or framerate?
    Preberably I'd do so without re-encoding it, so basically just extract and copy the raw video + audio content. Is that possible?
