That code has been superseded by current svn of the libbluray project. http://altair.videolan.org:4280/ The old codebase has some bugs that I haven't bothered to go back and fix. Unfortunately this project was started with a closed svn and then the project leader vanished. So access to outsiders has been limited. But people that want access can get it by talking to j-b on irc #libbluray. In the bdtools tarball, you'll find some notes I took while reverse engineering the format. There's a little more involved than simply splicing together files. The beginning and end of a clip doesn't have to coincide with the beginning and end of the file. There are start and end points defined in the playlist. Though 99.9% of the time, simply splicing the files will work. The libbluray project has a bd_read function that does all the proper splicing.
