Running latest version of MakeMKV (1.8.6) When loading the Avatar 3D disc MakeMKV gives me the following popup error: "BD+ code processed but no FUTs were obtained, errors may follow". It then completes loading the disc and presents me with 1 title to choose which appears to contain the fu...

@OliverTwist: There are several things to talk about here. The kind of playback issues you are describing sound like they are specific to your PCs performance and NOT software related as such. There are several potential reasons for your issues and several things you can do to prove what's causing t...

@Mike_admin: Agreed, there is no dispute that there are indeed cases for needing the Core DTS track separate. To get back to my original issue and point, the real issue is the way that the UI is currently laid out and how it's confusing to have those checkboxes nested like that when they are not sla...

Actually, we aren't.

Because now we sit with a UI that confused both of us, by your own admission, as a direct result of trying to cater for things that the software shouldn't have to try and cater for.

That standard is VERY clear and any player that supports normal DTS 5.1 properly, as per the original standard, WILL play a DTS-HD MA audio track properly. Any player that does not, is effectively faulty and does not implement normal DTS playback properly, as per the correct standard. As someone who...

@joe42: If you read my posts carefully, I'm not actually advocating that he prevents including both streams in the MKV. One of the suggestions for UI improvement is to move the Core checkbox to the SAME level as the MA stream, still allowing both to be checked. My issue is with having the Core track...

@joe42: I base that comment on standards. The DTS-MA standard dictates that it is ALWAYS backward compatible with anything that can play normal DTS audio tracks. That's the beauty of it over Dolby TrueHD. To my knowledge there is NO media player that can play DTS properly that should be unable to pl...

Thanks guys, those last 2 posts cleared everything up and confirmed what I was thinking and answered my question directly. Thanks to everyone for giving intelligent and sensible feedback to my original post in this thread. Suggestions for potential improvements to the MakeMKV GUI based on all this d...

@Mike Admin: I'm still unclear on what the correct procedure is in terms of the MakeMKV UI. For DTS-MA, where the UI shows 2 tick boxes with the Core stream nested under the MA stream, do we need to tick BOTH boxes if we want full DTS-MA ? If we only tick the top level MA box and leave the Core chec...

In that case, it definitely sounds like either: a. Your BluRay drive is dying. b. There's a problem with the disc/s. To be honest, it sounds more like a drive problem. But to prove it, you can simply open an ISO file from a hard drive in MakeMKV, instead of from the BluRay drive itself, and see if M...

Right, based on your posts thus far it sounds like you are trying to work with ISO images that are on your 4 external hard drives? You say you are running Windows 8, so that's an immediate potential problem for me. Could be some compatability problems related to Win 8 ? Driver issues maybe ? What yo...

Regarding TrueHD, the TruehD and AC-3 substreams on Blu-ray are interleaved, but fully independent, it's not a core+extension architecture like DTS-HD. @Romash: This is an interesting point for me because I've always understood that if a TrueHD track is supplied on a BluRay disc then the standard d...

"Regarding TrueHD, the TruehD and AC-3 substreams on Blu-ray are interleaved, but fully independent, it's not a core+extension architecture like DTS-HD." @Romansh: That's an interesting one for me because I've always understood that with TrueHD the BluRay standard dictates that if a TrueHD...

For me, the primary source of confusion is around the nesting of the Core track as a tree node under the HD node. On the face of it, because they can both be selected at the same time, it looks like there is some kind of relationship between them, and that you need to tick both to get the full HD tr...

To add some context to my confusion the image below might help. As you can see, not only is there a DTS-HD track with a nested DTS 3/2+1 track, but there is also another DTS 3/2+1 track on the same level as he DTS-HD track, and they are all english ! For the uninitiated that is very confusing. I rea...
