@jdobbs, @colinhunt
Hi! Regarding "Peeping Tom" - Online reviews indicate that this recently made Blu-ray of a (IIRC) 1950s movie contains only a (single channel) monaural PCM audiostream, which is very likely the cause of the backup and playback problems. I believe this can be remedied (for a movie-only backup) by, before using BD-RB, extracting the audiostream and using EAC3 to convert it to (two channel) stereo PCM and then using tsMuxeR to replace the original audiostream with the revised version - and then process with BD-RB... |

All is well now with "The Other Guys". But some dark scenery suffered more than I'd like. So I'll be running it once again, with some different audio settings, and a longer encode
Jdobbs. Do you have a Theoretical explanation even, of what would cause the program to mistake audio languages? My first encodes had instructions of English audio only, and yet it kept Portuguese(or some other language) only. Shame I can't preview/sample the audio source by right clicking, and opening with a media player Then I could verify that the program is confused. Dvd rebuilder has never done this before. Something weird must be going on to effect Bd rebuilder. |

Yes. The uncompressed folder plays perfectly. So does my third attempt at the compressed output, keeping all audio tracks. I'm now running it again, removing select audio tracks manually. I won't be deleting the original folder for some time. I have to know what is causing this. This is really bizarre LOL!
You sure love that blue text lol. Last edited by omegaman7; 4th January 2011 at 10:59. |

I tried the Alternative PAL DVD mode with ALTERNATE_PAL=1. Perfect, no ghosted pictures any more. Just to inform I set the Custom Size to 4483 MB and still got some undersize of 94% (video+1 audio) -- which on the positive side let me eventually add a nice menu .... |

The only way I could see that happening is if somehow the audio PID in the M2TS is not configured to match the one in the CLPI and/or M2TS. If that's true, then the source is corrupted. There's nothing BD-RB could do about that. As I may have said before -- after a couple thousand test runs against a huge number of commercial BDs... I have never gotten the wrong language. |

Just some info.
@jdobbs
I do not know if this will be important to anyone else but I just wanted to share what I expirienced. I was backing up "Salt" US version, when file 50 of 64 caused an error of tsmuxer.exe to stop working. Tried a couple of times and then I decieded to download the the latest version of Halli Media Spliter which was released on Nov 21, 2010. Program ran fine with no issues. I don't know if this info will help anyone else but this worked for me and I wanted to let someone else know. Thanks. |

Thanks for the tip about running the workfiles. But the numbering scheme used by avisynth compared to Bd rebuilders numbering scheme is a bit cumbersome at best. I think I understand though. I'm even more baffled now. If I'm understanding avisynth correctly, the english audio track IS the english audio track. Which confuses me even more LOL!
I removed the extra english tracks, and the HD french track, and was happily greeted by HD english audio upon playing the main title. This would sure be easier if the main title was a single M2TS file. Wonder why they did it this way... Basterds! LOL! I will now run it again at super fast settings, to hurry along the testing, so that I may understand the error. By the way, I can't seem to play the AVS files. "Cannot Render file". I'm gonna try to create the error once again, to be sure this is an error at all, and not just a fluke. The way it happened before, was keeping HD audio (English only). Hmm the other machine plays the AVS files. Likely an association issue... Last edited by omegaman7; 4th January 2011 at 19:50. |

Try enabling or disabling "Uncompressed" audio decoding in FFDSHOW and see if it has an effect. I did the US version of "Salt" with no issues. |

Ok. I think I was intimidated by a number which made no sense to me. I think it does now. E.g. "AUD_00125_4352". 4352 is simply a way of distinguishing a different audio track within a clip(4352 should be english, and 4360 could be Portuguese). AUD_00125, is part of VID_00125. It has simply been Demuxed. Sorry, i'm about as green as it gets. I'm more than anything explaining this to myself

I mean that 4352 was/is english in this particular M2TS's case. I hope I don't look stupid for this :S
I'm officially throwing my arms up on this BD. I redid The Other Guys exactly as I did the first time, and now the audio is english. It appears some unkown error occurred, and I have no way of knowing what happened From now on, I rename the INF files in such a way(1st, 2nd, etc) that BD rebuilder can't overwrite it. It's a shame it doesn't offer doing this for testing purposes. Sorry about any grief I've caused. Don't ever think for a moment, that you're a bad teacher. I have a problem focusing on things at times. Plus I'm more a hands on guy Last edited by omegaman7; 4th January 2011 at 23:06. |

I have now burned a different media for The Other Guys. This burn worked well, so it was not the PS3 updates that were on the disc. I did doubt that LOL! I strongly recommend staying away from Optical Quantum(Philps media). They were decent at first, but now I'm noticing minor - major flaws in the dye's. I usually stick with Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden. But as you all know, they're currently rather spendy Last edited by omegaman7; 4th January 2011 at 23:40. |

I have made about 150 backups using Optical Quantum (Blu-Ray) burning on 2 LG's and 1 Pioneer and have yet to have a failure verifying with Imgburn or watching them. Your setup maybe? Last edited by JJB; 5th January 2011 at 00:07. |
