OK, that makes sense. Thanks for the info! Here's hoping JDobbs enables THD (and DTS-HD) support soonish.

Anyways, sounds like you got a successful encoding on your first attempt... great job...
Also shows how far along BD-RB Is already..

Yeah, it's a lovely piece of software. Made a donation already

Here's something I noticed a moment ago: As I disabled the English THD tracks as well as some of the subtitles, the output now lists two audio tracks, both French, and 7 subtitles, all English. The original has 7 subtitles, but they're all different languages.

That's interesting. How did you do the "injection", exactly?

Thank you, tekmobile! I'll have to give that approach a try.

It is probably possible to find out which track it is using txMuxeR or eac3to.

Just my 2 cents.

The audio track corresponding to the PIP video track has been deselected with same results.

edit - maybe I mis-explained my problem - I'm not expecting the 2nd video track to work! Just that the main track plays with audio. A few discs with 2nd video tracks haven't played audio (not just the universal ones where there seems to be a quesion mark of a known problem there). Just reporting my findings, I'm not hounding for 2nd video track support I've learnt my lesson a while back that this is a beta.

Then just started the encode as normal once BD-RB has extracted the audio/pgs streams for the movie and started doing the 1stpass I opened the movie m2ts in tsmuxerGUI and just selected the english DTS-HD track i wanted, click the demux checkbox and set the output to the workfiles directory of BD-RB this then overwrote the dts file that BD-RB extracted with the dts-hd that i selected.

After BD-RB had finished the encode it then proceeded to rebuild the m2ts file with the DTS-HD track I had demuxed to the workfiles directory did the rest of the disc and rebuilt the disc structure.

When I did this it was just a trial didnt expect it to work but the disc played back on my player with no problems states audio as DTS-HD MSTR everything worked perfect.

There may be more to it but it worked for me because if it was that simple im sure it would have been integrated from the start

TrueHD may be a different matter but only the very latest version of tsmuxer can do TrueHD properly (1.8.30 i believe)

You might have to sit in naughty corner when jdobbs reads this post This would work most likely as DTS\DSTHD\DTSMA share same tag....TrueHD\AC3 share same tag. LPCM does not share same tag as AC3 which it would be encoded to so that wouldn't work at this time.

I'm posting this just so nobody wastes their time trying it with LPCM and please don't report any problems doing this here.

Your on your own

They definitely not share the same tag.

Yes its important that if you try this method its at your own risk dont complain to jdobbs if you get errors etc

What works ?? are you refering to LPCM or DTS-HD/TrueHD

Feel free to ignore the following, not BD related, just an answer to this question...

DTS\TrueHD both work. If you replace tsmuxer with new version that works with TrueHD. If you go back 10 pages or so you will see that I was looking for a solution that you list and in the end did what your suggesting although I didn't discuss it because jdobbs was getting pretty cheesed off with it all. At the time I was being abit narrow minded and couldn't see his problem as I didn't think there was much potential for it introducing bugs, I still don't. But it's not my forum and I'm not a coder so respect to the author and it being a beta means that I kept it to myself.

I shouldn't really be mentioning it at all. It's obviously going to be implemented at some point. I certainly won't be asking questions on it again.

The weird thing is that I noticed that clpi\playlist files DO get updated properly. Well BDedit reports the audio correctly, and eac3to with various frontends pick up the audio correctly too.

I haven't even tried it with LPCM to be honest because BDRB encodes all LPCM to AC3 so prolly never a good time to switch it since audio coding is done at end of 2nd pass.

I know it might be frowned on but I needed to do something with my ripped discs and I coudn't justify wasting a BD disc on anything but a full movie encode with HD audio.

I do not recommend anyone does this.

I too have found a problem. After having tried a few editions (everything went fine from the first try), I upgraded to v0.20.03.
This time I tried Spider Man 3, 2 disc edition. I tried target size BD9. As it's orig. size is something like 46GB, I had to dump all audio except the LPCM track. I set resizing to 720P, but I'm afraid I have to say that the quality was really bad. The picture looked very low-res. On the second run I let it stay at 1080pm the other settings ware the same ... and now the picture looked much much better. How is this possible?
Before burning the iso that I created with ImgBurn, I decided to test it with PowerDVD. And that's where I found a strange bug that I haven't found before (although I'm still testing with other films).
Spider Man 3 has got quite a few subs, but the BD9 didn't show all of them correctly. The first two were correct. From the subs 3 to 9 (if I'm correct) the sequence was altered like the third one was put back in line: The third one I could select being Dutch, I selected it for playback and saw Arabic. When selecting Arabic, I saw Hebrew .. (instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, it became 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,3) while I did select the correct one in the menu. The subtitles 10-15 were correct.

Since I never saw this before, I tried switching back to v0.18.07, but it said 'trial expired' all of a sudden. So I cannot try this movie with an older version anymore.

Version 19.06 still works... at least for the time being, but that wouldn't be useful from a beta tester standpoint.

@jdobbs,
I may have missed this if it was mentioned before, so sorry in advance, but how long does each version work/last before expiration?

I just encoded Changeling all seemed to go fine except the video stops about 1:49 min into it. The audio still runs all the way to the end correctly while the video is froze at 1:49

I did Changeling to a movie-only BD-9 and it played fine. Forget which BD-RB version it was with, gotta look it up in the log, but just wanted to give you feedback that it was fine to a BD-9. What were your settings?

for all I know this was a W7 error. Many of my problem are in my setup or just lack of understanding some of the little stuff. Many are just glitches and I have half a mind to go back to XP and see how it does

That's happened on two or three movies... Pride & Glory, Saw V, and another one, I think. I tried running them again and everything was back to normal. There were no errors in the log, so I don't know what happened. I place them under my normal category for flaws..... Gremlins.

Hmmmm. I did Pursuit Of Happyness and that worked out just fine. But the retry of Spider Man 3 gave the same results (although the new sequence is 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,3 .. from 9-14 was correct).
Any thoughts how this is possible?

Just did a thorough check of this method to inject HD audio and it does NOT work. DTS will appear to be playing, but if you check it will only be normal DTS and not MA. TrueHD won't work at all.

Don't try it.
