Hi all,
Just purchased a 2TB WD elements play to back up my BLU Rays onto and to use to play back the films directly rather than having to burn them all to discs. I would be willing to sacrifice some quality but in fairness wanted the same experince as the originals or as close as possible as I may as well not back up. Well that was the intention anyhow.
First try, convert the BLU rays to ISO via DVDFab and see if that works as it stated it can read them in the WD manual. This works fine for DVDs but not BLU rays. The reason I tried this first is because I would have liked to use the navigation menus which I can on the DVDs but no luck with even seeing a picture the BLU Ray ISO
Second try, convert the BLU rays to M2TS files which the WD player can read but these were jerky and I lost all audio as unfortunatley the WD player is not DTS compatible (something I wish I knew earlier but missed when doing my reasearch into the player)
Third try, convert the BLU rays to MKV's. The player played the files fine but in the instance of using DTS it wouldn't work (for obvious reasons but I thought I'd try). So checking the remove HD audio option still gave the same result, no audio. I tried again selecting AC/3/2 but now I got a blind descriptive audio as well as the audio itself which I didn't realy want.
Fourth try, the same as above but with MP4 which gave me the same results.
I suppose this is a driver fault within the WD elements play itself not DVDFab but I thought I would ask here too. I suppose I should have bought Live TV instead which I'm now aware has DTS support and just plugged an external drive into it. At the time I thought a integrated system would be good rather than two seperate systems.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dee
