Extracting M2TS length from a BDMV directory in Linux

January 14, 2010

I was having the hardest time getting various programs to echo the runtime of m2ts files in Linux, and it turns out someone wrote a parser for the files in the BDMV/PLAYLIST directory, which have all of this information.

  • Get bdtools. I got Version 1.4. You can find it here.
  • ./configure && make && sudo make install
  • Try running mpls_dump. I got this error when running: 
    mpls_dump: error while loading shared libraries: libbd-1.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

  • To fix it, do this: 
    echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf
sudo ldconfig
