Girl w Dragon Tattoo ... no audio, no subtitles

[p2nenga]

OK, i know it's Swedish but i'd still like to hear what's being said instead of silence. Kinda need the English subtitles, too.

Hi p2nenga,

Do you backup to BD25 or BD5/BD9?

How do you play the backup?

Best Regards,
Fengtao

"Girl...Tattoo" is a single-layer disc. No audio or subtitles are shown by DVDfab when attempting main-title-only, and indeed none are extracted. Using tsMuxer to open the extracted playlist, there is only the video stream and nothing else. If I do a whole disc copy, and search for the main-title playlist, the same result is video only and no audio or subtitles.

Oddly, none of the above is true for the remaining small videos on this disc, previews of other movies, etc. DVDfab shows these have audio and subtitles, and tsMuxer confirms these get extracted.

I think this was very clever of them, to encrypt the audio and subtitle streams so effectively. Hope DVDfab can become equally clever!

There is no way to hide audio/subtitle stream in playlist, I think the disc has authoring problem.

[p2nenga]

That may be. My Panasonic DMP-BD60 plays the original just fine, so the limited evidence indicates the problem lies in DVDfab. I'll have Netflix send another disc to verify.

Please read the rules of this forum that you agreed to upon joining.

Please re-read my post carefully and literally. I made no such discussion, you have inferred it.

I'll have Netflix send another disc to verify.

So this does not indicate rental? B/S !!!!

[p2nenga]

Of course that does. And i will use DVDfab to verify if it shows any audio or subtitle tracks, instead of blank boxes like it does with my purchased copy of "Girl..." There is no copying expressed nor planned. Nor am I gonna buy another copy of "Girl..." just to satisfy fengtao on this issue.

@p2nenga

As you might think it is unfair that your thread got closed:

1) The rental discs for many if not most major movie releases are pressed specially for Netflix and are often authored differently. So your test of "another" disc would not really prove anything (unless your first disc was a rental too).

2) Any reference to rental and DVDFab is going to get your thread shutdown. It is not an association that we wish to have on the forums. Please respect that in any future postings.
