Do you find it frustrating when you have to sit through unskippable commercials and trailers every time you play a Blu-ray disc? Would you prefer a seamless movie experience that starts right away? Removing commercials at the beginning of Blu-ray discs is easier than you think. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use tools like MakeMKV, TsMuxer, and Yuhan Blu-ray Creator to decrypt, re-author, and customize your Blu-ray commercials free and in perfect quality.

Why Remove commercials from Blu-ray?

commercials on Blu-ray discs are unskippable, meaning you have to sit through them each time you play the disc. For those who want a clean and seamless movie experience, removing these commercials offers several advantages:

• Time-saving: No need to fast forward or wait through commercials .
• Better experience: Start your movie instantly without interruption.
• Customization: Create your own Blu-ray setup with specific chapters, menus, or no menus at all.

Now, let's dive into the process of removing commercials from Blu-ray discs.

Part 1. Decrypt the Blu-ray with MakeMKV

To start, you'll need to decrypt the Blu-ray disc so you can access and modify its contents. The encrypted nature of commercial Blu-ray discs prevents direct editing, but MakeMKV can bypass this. MakeMKV is a free, easy-to-use tool that converts Blu-ray discs to a folder or MKV file, which can then be re-authored to remove the commercials.

How to Decrypt a Blu-ray with MakeMKV

1. Download and Install MakeMKV

You can download MakeMKV from MakeMKV's official website. Install the software following the on-screen instructions. MakeMKV works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

2. Insert the Blu-ray Disc

After installation, insert your Blu-ray disc into your Blu-ray drive.

3. Launch MakeMKV and Load the Disc

Open MakeMKV, and the software will automatically detect your Blu-ray disc. Click on the Blu-ray drive icon to open the disc and display its content.

4. Select the Main Movie

MakeMKV will list all titles (files) available on the Blu-ray disc. Usually, the largest file is the main movie. Uncheck all the other files (like bonus features or commercials) except the one that corresponds to the main movie.

5. Backup the Blu-ray as a BDMV Folder

Instead of converting the Blu-ray to an MKV file, you should select the “Backup” option. This will allow you to save the entire Blu-ray disc as a BDMV folder, preserving the Blu-ray structure and quality while removing encryption.

Why Use MakeMKV?

• Decryption: Removes Blu-ray encryption (AACS and BD+).
• Preserves Quality: Keeps the original video quality without compression.
• Simple Interface: User-friendly, making it easy to decrypt your Blu-ray in just a few clicks.

Part 2. Re-author the Blu-ray with TsMuxer (No Menu)

Once you have the BDMV folder, you can begin re-authoring the Blu-ray to remove commercials and trailers. The best way to do this is by using TsMuxer, a free and powerful tool that allows you to manipulate Blu-ray files without re-encoding, preserving the original video quality.

How to Re-author Blu-ray with TsMuxer

1. Download and Install TsMuxer

You can download TsMuxer from its official website or other trusted sources. The installation is straightforward and works on both Windows and macOS.

2. Open TsMuxer and Load the M2TS File

The BDMV folder holds various files, but the main movie is typically in the M2TS format (usually the largest file). To locate the correct M2TS file, navigate to the BDMV/STREAM folder within your backed-up Blu-ray folder. The largest M2TS file found there is most likely the main movie.

3. Select Desired Tracks

In TsMuxer, you can choose which tracks to keep and which to remove. For example, you might want to remove unnecessary subtitle tracks, alternate audio tracks, or other features to streamline the Blu-ray. This step allows you to clean up the Blu-ray and get rid of unwanted extras.

4. Set Output Format

Once you've selected the desired tracks, choose the output format as either Blu-ray Folder or Blu-ray ISO. This will generate a new Blu-ray structure without re-encoding, ensuring the original quality is preserved.

5. Start the Muxing Process

Click on the Start Muxing button. TsMuxer will create a new Blu-ray folder containing only the main movie and the features you selected.

Why Use TsMuxer?

• Pass-through Mode: Keeps the original video quality by not re-encoding.
• Customization: Remove specific files, tracks, or features you don’t need.
• Simple and Efficient: TsMuxer quickly re-authors the Blu-ray without complexity.

While TsMuxer is a powerful tool, it has some limitations, such as not supporting disc menus or disc burning. To overcome these shortcomings, we recommend Yuhan Blu-ray Creator, a Blu-ray authoring software that offers support for disc menus and includes built-in burning capabilities.
