This is a Paramount film, didn't think they used anything special to hide it.

Only speaking to the UHD here: One is a playlist, and one is the m2ts file. They are different things but related. Playlists indicate which m2ts files should be played and in what order.

In this case, the playlist (222.mpls), includes the m2ts file (003). Look closely at the mpls file in the "Title Information" window. It lists 3 (003.m2ts) as the one and only item in the segment map. The way this disc was mastered was one long m2ts file for the entire movie. Which is why they look identical.

You want to rip the mpls as it includes the chapter markers, the m2ts file does not.

Hope that helps.

After i back up this disk, it's taking up the entirety of my 16:9 screen. It's weird bc most of my backups are letterbox/scope images.

Did i do something wrong?
