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.
