It works but...

[PeteWhite]

Just tried converting The DaVinci Code Blu-ray to DVD.

I set the output to DVD9 (8100MB). However, the resulting folder is only 2.96GB in size and the aspect ratio is set to 4:3 with large black bars above and below the picture. The audio (AC-3 TrueHD/5.1) has also only been converted to Stereo. The forced subtitles work perfectly though. The log is shown below...

The blu-ray was already ripped to ISO (36Gb) on my Hard drive.

The ISO may have been faulty or not read correctly. If you mount the ISO and play it, does it appear normal? Please try a few chapters with the original disc if you have time, also perhaps a couple of chapters with DXVA turned off (software decode).

[PeteWhite]

OK, I tried it again, directly from the blu-ray disk this time and it does exactly the same as above.

Just tried it on 'Troy' direct from the blu-ray disc, and the same thing happens.

Indeed,it compresses too much and the sound stream is only 2ch ac3.

I just tried Iron Man 2 and I concur. Movie is compressed too far for DVD-5 and sound is only 2 channel. I believe the quality of the movie is being compromised with the compression, I hope for the final version this can utilize the full disc and decode down to 5.1. If those two are addressed I feel for me, it'll be a viable option to purchase.

Thank you all for the reporting, it will be fixed in next version.
