True HD AC3, E-AC3 will not play or encode

Everytime I rip a Blu-Ray disc of mine into .m2ts format, when I extract the audio from the .m2ts all audio tracks work except for the ones Mediainfo say are TrueHD / AC-3.

Everytime Mediainfo says theres a track of that kind I cannot extract it properly, playback the file, I cannot re-encode the file or convert to anything else. I cant do anything with the file really. Its just a non working extracted audio file over 1GB in size and it claims its over 5 hours long as well while the other is usually in the 200-300MB area and proper length.

All of the other audio tracks that are AC-3 work just fine and I can encode or convert them to Nero AAC with ease.

I figure this is just a codec thing but I have the latest Combined Community Codec Pack and K-Lite Codec Pack and neither one of them are enabling these extracted TrueHD / AC-3 files to work.

Whats weird is if I open the .m2ts file in windows media player classic, the TrueHD / AC-3 track seems to play just fine. Its when I try to extract the audio tracks from the .m2ts file that I get the problem I mentioned above and I have tried several different extraction methods and programs. I'm always getting this same issue.

Do I need some kind of codec or plugin to get these to work with my computer?
