Convert DTS/LPCM Audio to AC3

zimdba

I just noticed this when trying to backup a Blu-Ray. It says Convert DTS/LPCM Audio to AC3.
As far as I know, I don't want this. I want the DTS/LPCM to remain as-is. Is there any way to turn this off?

Thanks.

If you notice there is no checkbox for this. When the need arises and you don't want it or want it, uncheck or check it.

Hi,

When you copy as BD50 or compress as bd25, not need convert DTS/LPCM to AC-3, no check box for the option. But when compress to bd9 or bd5, you could check or uncheck the option. Better to convert to AC-3 when compress to bd9&bd5, because of the LPCM audio size is so big!
Hope this help you!:):)

For BD5/BD9 output, it's actually AVCHD format, it doesn't support DTS/LPCM from specification, so we need convert it to AC3, although some players support DTS/LPCM for BD5/BD9, so you need check it on your player and decide.

Also, converting to AC3 saves more space for video stream.

I don't think this option is working correctly at all...

I've attempted several backups now to both BD9 & BD25 - regardless of the audio options set the resulting output is ALWAYS AC3...

...which I don't want.....and previously I've never had this issue...

This would appear to be yet another of the 'bugs' introduced in these recent versions of the product...

The internal logs ALWAYS show this line, regardless of the settings within the program :-

14m 23.37s: CompressToAC3: 1

Please fix this....

fengtao

It will be fixed in next beta, please wait for several days.

Wilson.Wang

Please download and install the lastest beta build 8117, the issue is fixed.

Confirmed as working with 8.1.1.7 - many thanks.:)

Unfortunately, this did not work for me in the 8.1.1.7 or 8.1.1.8 Betas nor the recently released 8.1.2.0. I should note that I'm not trying to back it up to a BD-50 or BD-25. I'm using Blu-ray Copy to copy to a hard drive folder. It doesn't matter if I'm using a folder or ISO output. Under settings I have "BD50" as the default output size.
This is true for the 2 movies I tried to back up: Soul Surfer and Silence of the Lambs SE.

Doesn't work for me either in these releases!

It appeared to me while encoding that the AC3 conversion was proceeding, but playing back several ISO's I've used the "main movie" option on, it appears the audio was set as DTS Master. Many of them were not compressed, so there was a straight copy, but a few were compressed. I played back with Total Media Theatre 5.

Hi otis and zimdba,

Compress DTS/LPCM to AC-3 only work when you compressing bd50 to bd9 & bd5 and also need check check-box of "Convert DTS/LPCM audio to AC-3" option.

When copy to bd50 & bd25, dvdfab won't compress DTS/LPCM to AC-3.
Hope this help you!

Excuse me, and why on the last screen of dvdfab (before start the conversion)appear the voice Convert DTS/LPCM audio to AC-3 and we can't remove it? It's only a general warning for bd 5 and bd 9 ? If we transform the main movie in a bd 25 gb, the audio is always in dts hd or other hi quality format despite the voice Convert DTS/LPCM audio to AC-3 appear ??

What are you not understanding here?? There is no check box for this option!There for it is not selected and the option is not available!

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*:o. 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.
