Convert DTS/LPCM Audio to AC3

[zimdba]

My screenshot differs a bit from yours DiabloZoe. Mine is the exact same as in the original post and remains unchanged. There is no checkbox - I just take this as a dialogue to tell me that it's converting LCPM to AC3 and there's not a thing I can do about it.

Wilson, please reread above. I am copying the blu-ray uncompressed to a hard drive folder. There is no BD5/BD9 conversion set or wanted.

Thanks.

You are miss understanding!!! This is not selected if there is no check box!! And it is not converting!! If the check box appears and gives you the option to check or uncheck, leaving a check in the box would make it perform this task! You see from the screen shot there are 2 options to create a protected disc and virtual drive. Because these options are displayed does not mean thats what is gonna happen its letting me know these 2 options are unavailable!

I get what you are saying *now*. Still it seems like a really odd UI choice to display that when it's not relevant. I'll re-rip and check out the resulting file with MediaInfo.

So here's what MediaInfo has to say. I can only imagine that since it's ~1500Kbps audio that it's LPCM

that's Dts "core" you have there...you must have the "Remove HD audio" selected.






make sure you do not have this checked.

[zimdba]

It's unchecked.

[crackinhedz]

what about here when you are in the process of setting up...

[crackinhedz]

looking around google I foudn a few posts about MediaInfo not showing Dts-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD correctly...could be the problem?

where are you having an issue, during playback?


Its definitely not converting to AC3, so that's not an issue.

[crackinhedz]

when you copy your movie to the Hard Drive, try re-opening up with fab (your folder, not the bluray disc)...what audio does it show?

[zimdba]

Sorry, I'm still giggling at 3 straight posts of your icon.

Seriously, I didn't show it in that last screenshot but the box is available to be checked, but it is not. It's unchecked.

So sanity check: Does this disc even have LCPM? Am I getting geeked up about nothing? I want it ripped to my hard drive folder exactly as it is on the disc - no conversion, no compression, no nothing.

[zimdba]

Sorry, here's the HD folder.

[crackinhedz]

No, your disc has Dts-HD Master Audio...no "Uncompressed PCM" audio (like in my screen shot)

Uncompressed PCM, Dts-HD MA & Dolby TrueHD audio are all Lossless audio...aka the best.

[crackinhedz]

now for playback, you will need a receiver that can decode Dts-HD MA, or a player that can decode...and via HDMI.

(if not, you will simply get the Dts core)
