The movie I'm using as a test is Battleship.When I use PlayBDMV.bat outside of xbmc I'm getting file not found, so I select the disc via the menu and it plays directors comments, but no sound. With xbmc open and I insert bluray then I have sound, but still same problem of directors comments.

I tired The Avengers movie and that one does go straight to playing only the movie, so it must be something with Battleship?

BTW, is there a reason why VLC isn't used, as it plays everything and support menus? According to this article "Wonder how to get your VLC 2.0 to play encrypted blu-ray discs?" you only need two files. However, it's Interesting that VLC doesn't like it's menu either and when disc is opened without menu support it plays directors comments.

The PlayBDMV bat files will not work outside of XBMC, they rely on XBMC sending the path to the movie.
VLC has very limited menu support, and will not work with many menus.

What happens with VLC and MPC, is they are unable to tell which playlist on the disc is the main movie, so they make an educated guess, 95% of the time it works fine and the main movie is selected, however some movies (Like Battleship) it gets wrong, it is quite rare though (That's why Avengers was fine)

I would recommend you do one of the following
1.
Install LAV Filters for use with MPC, this way you are able to manually change the playlist to the correct one if it guesses incorrectly (Like with Battleship)
Audio/Subtitle support is a lot better when using LAV filters too.

2.
In AnyDVD, enable "Speedmenus" this will replace the disc menus/trailers/warnings with its own simple selection menu, allowing you to quickly play the main movie from the disc, you will need to use TMT5 to play the Speedmenus, but they work great.

Thank you acejh1987 for your explanations and suggestions. I'll pass on spending $90 on TMT5 and the additional money for updates to new version as they become available, so I'll go with option 1 using Lav Filters (LF).

Does this mean that I won't need the ffdshow filter?

I assume this is where I get LAV filters?

Assuming LF requires specific settings like ffdshow does, can you please provide the required settings?
