Hi,

>> Mail acting weird as always :| If anyone could suggest a good (less randomly behaving) alternative to the default mail app on Mac I’d be much obliged.
>> Anyway I was typing that I’m pretty sure 50M is the default for probesize so starting way down at 5M probably didn’t help.

Oh wow, my mistake, I must have misread it by a zero, I’ve thought it was 50MB forever...

It’s like any other protocol, like how you could use concat:INPUT1|INPUT2|… to literally concatenate the inputs, on the block level i think? Or crypto:encryptedfile.ts with key parameters to decrypt, for BD-ROMs you would put bluray:/mnt/bd or bluray:/dev/loop0 or whatever your bluray device is, and provide the playlist in the BDMV filesystem along with the other parameters to specify what to read from the disk. For the mount point in windows, maybe it just takes a drive letter?
