Re: Receiving LIBMKV_TRACE exception

Ah, dammit… this is my code that's triggering this, too. Not sure it's a bug, could be a malformed DTS bitstream, but still…

Re: A question about DTS-HD Master Audio tracks.

DTS-HD uses a core + extension system where a lossy core is encoded for compatibility with older setups and the HD extension(s) contain the difference between the lossy core and the lossless (or higher-quality, in case of the still lossy DTS-HD High Resolution Audio) representation of the source aud...

I use the same disk that wasn't playing audio and made an mkv file. When I played back the file on the system, Dolby TrueHD played perfectly.
Not an MKV file, a decrypted Blu-ray backup: /faq/item/4

Re: Direct Blu-ray disk playback on Kodi (formerly XBMC)

Most likely unrelated to the encryption, though you never know. Have you tried making a decrypted Blu-ray backup with MakeMKV and playing it in Kodi, instead of decrypting the actual disc during playback?

Re: Audio Mismatch

MakeMKV tries very hard to make sure the audio timestamps match the video when ripping, because some disks have gaps between chapters, especially when dealing with "seamless branching" on Blurays. FWIW, if I am not mistaken, overlaps are more common than gaps (and trickier to handle witho...

Re: Video from Blu-ray can't be synced to iPhone 3GS in iTun

Maybe if you post a MediaInfo report of two example files (DVD -> MakeMKV -> iFFmpeg -> output.mp4, BD -> MakeMKV -> iFFmpeg -> output.mp4) we can spot the culprit.

Re: Wrong default playlist on Zombieland

I've never tried this feature as of yet, but my guess is there's a reason it's called "open DVD in manual mode".

Re: Video from Blu-ray can't be synced to iPhone 3GS in iTun

Ask iFFmpeg support.

Are yo sure whatever settings you're using actually downscale the content? The iPhone 3GS cannot play high-defnition videos, it's limited to 720x576 up to 25 fps, 720x480 up to 30 fps…

Just FWIW, if the master is bad (as opposed to an error during replication), getting a new disc won't help and MakeMKV would have to work around it ;) :P

Utter-Butter: just arguing on terminology here, Woodstock's advice still holds true, nevermind the wording.

Re: 3D MVC Option

The only issue now is that a few of the English lines are showing with subtitles as well, not sure if that's a disc mastering issue or a MakeMKV issue. A MakeMKV workaround for the case where the forced subtitles are part of a complete subtitle track, flagged as forced, but are followed by a non-fo...

Re: DTS-HD - DLL required for ISO files?

You only need the DTS-HD decoder DLL if your encoding profile re-encodes DTS-HD (e.g. to FLAC). DTS-HD passthrough is unaffected.

Re: MakeMKV hack

The bad thing is, x265/ffmpeg make a wrong fourCC on mp4 so you cannot play this files in VLC. No, it's not wrong. There are two valid codes for HEVC in MP4 (hvc1 and hev1), and VLC only supported hvc1. VLC 2.2.x will support hev1 as well. The reason why libavformat (and thus ffmpeg) uses hev1 is b...

Re: I've lost my bits and I want them back (blu ray music fi

My goal is to rip/play back blu ray music files in 96/24 DTS HD 5.1 surround. The MKV files come out as DTS, sample rate of 4800 and a bit rate of 1536 kbs (according to VLC). If it ripped it properly, the bit rate should be 13824 kbs (24*96*6 channels). Ndjamena If you read what I wrote, you would...
