So why not mux in multichannel LPCM instead of lossy Dolby ac3? But here's my problem.. tsMuxer accepts the LPCM just fine and muxes it beautifully.. but when I burn the disc and pop it into my Oppo BDP-83, the player thinks it's "1/1 Dolby" and won't play any audio--disc is silent. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Firstly, LPCM on Bluray is not in standard channel order, so if you want it to be correct when burnt to a disc, you need to re-arrange the channels if you have created LPCM from DD, DTS etc.

LPCM files over 4GB can cause muxing issues I believe: IIRC, creating them as w64 gets around this issue.

Eac3to can decode most things to LPCM and can perform channel re-ordering and output as w64 in one go: it might be your best option before muxing with TsMuxer.

LPCM is very space hungry compared to the lossy and lossless audio codecs, so don't be surprised at 6GB just for audio for a movie.
