  • tsMuxeR is a dead project which hasn't got an update for years (so Blu-ray handling using tsMuxeR isn't that reliable)

  • Neither the Avisynth nor the Vapoursynth authors really care about properly handling DVD&Blu-ray sources
  • libbluray which MPlayer, tsMuxeR, mpv rely on to handle Blu-ray input is more times broken than usable
  • Especially Blu-ray handling is a pain, since there are more and more titles with someway or the other messed up stuff,.. tons of mislabled or dummy content etc.
Also just once buying a tons of DVDs and Blu-rays isn't enough and since in Germany circumventing a copy protection, even for personal use isn't allowed the whole thin just gets messier and messier. (which is why Hybrid can't decrypt anything Smile)

The main point is that I spend more time adding workarounds for somehow messed up DVDs and Blu-rays instead of changing stuff and adding features.
-> All in all don't be surprised when DVD and Blu-ray support goes out the window at the end of the year (or earlier).
Since I personally rarely buy any discs any more and more and more projects which can be used cross-platform, that support DVD/Blu-ray, simply die out.

Remember I write Hybrid in my free time.
After a 11hrs work day (8 1/2 hrs at work 2 1/2 hrs to get there and back) plus generally at least 1 hour answering emails and post here and in other forums about Hybrid. Smile
(kind of begging for a debug output and details gets more and more annoying)
On the weekend I normally:
a. build all the tools Hybrid uses and check that they are still compatible
b. fix existing bugs I couldn't get fixed during the week
c. test potential new stuff
d. try to clean-up the existing source code (~180k lines of code)
-> I'm happy that the author of your other program had the time and money to buy and try hundreds of BDs and DVDs I don't. Smile

The main goal for Hybrid is and was for me to have a tool I can use on Mac/Windows/Linux and do some video encoding and light filtering.

One part of main problem is (after evaluating your donation list) very few people think that they have to support the author of such good, currently free complex programs like Hybrid, BD-RB etc. And why they should donate a free program? Because they use it frequently to obtain their purposes. And to maintain, develop a software requires a lot of time, effort and money. People like you, me, and those who support Hybrid at least with just a few bucks per year "suffer" from the others (who come to the most part of users).
This is the real World unfortunately, I experienced it everywhere. Only a few people have to suffer from the others. From this respect I completely understand your arguments above.
The same problem was with the other software I am using, no one who used the software felt they should support the author even with a few bucks, and that is why I had to wait years for a development in software (the author is totally unmotivated to make improvements in a fast way or at all).
