So I got The Hobbit trilogy extended edition on blu ray today in the mail. I put in the first movie and saw that there are two files with the same length, file size, and chapters. Anybody out there know which ones to use for all three movies?

I just did the same...
00100.mpls and 00101.mpls
Both have 48 chapters
Both are 2:44:02 in length
Both are 34.2 GB in size
Both have a segment count of 1 and a segment map of 1
Filenames are the same except that one ends in _t00.mkv and the other in _t01.mkv

The differences are in the audio and subtitles.
One has English and Japanese (00101.mpls)
The other has English, French, and Portuguese (plus Spanish subtitles) (00100.mpls)

If I was a betting man, I would say 00100.mpls
But I am still looking into it myself.

Yup. 00100.mpls is it.

How do I know? I simply put the blu-ray in and hit play. Then I went to the language menu and sure enough, no Japanese, but it had English, French, Portuguese as options.
