I just tried to rip a BR (m2ts, h264) with .76 into .m2ts but audio remuxing of
VSO 40076 - truehd main audio 8 ch fails.png
fails.

The original BR plays perfectly via e.g. JRiver MC 23 (TrueHD Audio) but the audio remuxed .m2ts file has only big crackles every 6 - 8 seconds (also played back with VLC).

I can remember that I've reported the bug a longer time ago.

Finally I would have to convert TrueHD to DTS (which also doesn't work - see next comment).

Original file from BR:

Re: DVD and Blu-ray Converter beta versions 4.0.0.76

Post by dosibo51 »

As reported above with build .76:

Because remuxing & playback of TrueHD doesn't work, I converted the audio to DTS:
VSO-TrueHD2DTSConvert.png
but the final result is only that the voice is on the right channel:

Here the .m2ts file with DTS:

After a complete convert the file will play but I don't get a running time and I can't FF or REV, nor can I jump to a point in the video. BLURAY only so far.

@dosibo51:
- Installer language is provided by system, I will change the way we ask it.
- *.txt extensions are not supported, as we can hardly know what's inside.
- In BDMV standard, EAC3 is only allowed in back channels, so remux is disabled for this kind of stream

Hi felicia,

thanks a lot.

Regarding the installer: I never set up Japanese anywhere. ;) I think something has changed in your installer because in previous versions I never had a problem.

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit English (US):
Country or region: Austria
Timezone: UTC+01:00 .. Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna

Have a nice weekend,
Robert

Felicia,

just now - I rip a new film from blu-ray:

https://www.amazon.de/Findet-Dorie-Blu- ... ndet+Dorie
(sorry it's the German link - I don't know the french title but when you see the cover you know the french film title)

and BR Converter shows me again EAC3 (see enclosed screen shot).
EAC3_2017-09-29_11-50-56.jpg
Does this mean the company uses EAC3 in BDMV standard on all channels? (It's now the 2nd new film with EAC3).

Is it possible to remux this when you enable it? Finally said I want to have a 1:1 copy of BR (as .m2ts).

In the meantime I will convert to AC3 again. Also TrueHD I have to convert because remux does not work.

Best regards.

@dosibo51:

What I see is very weird as in the 100+ test BDs we have EAC3 streams are never alone and are only used as commentary streams for attached secondary video streams (PiP).
If you play the movie in the preview do you hear the movie all the time or is it mixed with commentary?

BR,

Felicià

Hi,

I just tried again with BRC 4.0.0.82 to remux TrueHD audio (into .m2ts file) but it doesn't work.

For the test I selected from min 12 - 24, clicked "Start" and it was finished after 1 second ;) .. 16 MB were written to file.
When I start to rip the complete film (no advanced settings) it runs 33 mins, a complete film is there - but the audio is completely destroyed (permanent audio drop outs).

When I select to convert (TrueHD) to AC3 - ripping works and test file has 2,18 GB and all plays fine.

Audio preview works perfectly.

See enclosed screen shots.
