Serninty BD problems

mrmonsoon · 11th March 2012, 09:34

Hi all, this is my first post please be kind

right after i have converted serenity and put it on a bd-re for trying in my bluray player everthing looks great but when i go to play it, it works up till it goes to the movie part and a black screen appears and thats all it does.

can someone help with this matter please. i have converted over 20-30 flics so far without any problems but this is very strange i have converted it 3 times now and the same thing happens each time. also i have converted just the film and it works great like that but i like them with menus on them Cheers for any info on this matter

Regards

Sounds like a less than perfect rip, possibly performed by a slightly outdated version of DVD Fab QT or AnyDVD HD...

Cheers for the info setarip_old, just re-ripped twice over the weekend and the same thing is happening each time. using the latest DVDFab 8QT 8.1.6.1, so if anyone else has a solution to this strange problem it would be awsome.

Many thanks

@mrmonsoon

You are mistaken. The latest version is DVDFab 8.1.6.6QT...

mrmonsoon · 13th March 2012, 19:14

Have you a link to it, i can only find DVDFab 8.1.6.3 QT
also do you know if it will sort my problem out?

mpucoder · 13th March 2012, 19:35

I don't know if it addresses your problem, but you can download 8.1.6.6 beta from http://forum.dvdfab.com/showthread.php?t=16846

Just curious, is this a newly released version or something? Serenity came out on Blu-ray about 4 years ago or something... I would think any version of the ripping tools made in the last few years would work fine with this...

That's the US release tho, maybe this is a recently released international version?

I bought Serenity on HD-DVD. It was encoded with VC-1 and Dolby Digital Plus.

Out of interest, what video and audio formats are on the Blu-ray disc version?

mrmonsoon · 14th March 2012, 08:18

it say's 1080p/VC1 and DTS-HD Master in dvdfab hope that helps.

anyways the latest DVDFAB 8QT 8.1.6.6 made no change still the same, has anyone cracked SERENITY yet?

I used AnyDVD HD + DGDecodeNV without any issues to recompress my Serenity bluray.

Edit: Sorry, nothing about menus >.>

Like I said, Serenity is a 4 year old disc... It doesn't have any copy protection on it other than AACS, with is easily removed. I've never used DVDFAB before, try AnyDVD...

But you said it plays fine up to the feature, can you see video? Like the menu loop and trailers or whatever? If so, the disc is ripped correctly. There's something else wrong on your system that's preventing playback. Do you hear audio and just no picture, or nothing at all?

How about playing the feature .M2TS file by itself in Windows Media Player or PowerDVD?

Have you ripped any other VC-1 Blu-rays? Are you sure you have a Blu-ray compatible VC-1 decoder installed on your computer?

No one else has a problem ripping the disc, so we really can't help you without more information...

put it on a bd-re for trying in my bluray player

1) Try playing it on another standalone player (Different brand, different model)

2) Spend a few cents and try in on a BD-R...

mrmonsoon · 15th March 2012, 11:43

Done all that. i think you know as much as me bud on blu-ray side of things. why don't you try doing a converion of the flic your self and see what you get. any one else out there that can HELP

I think everyone here speaks about ripping, while you specifically said

Maybe there lies the problem .... how did you converted it?

mrmonsoon · 15th March 2012, 12:00

@rik1138 yes menus and setting work ok but when i press to play movie it just goes black no sound nothing happens at all, ripped and coverted over 30 blurays so far without a problem e.g clash of the titans,bolt,super8,300,ironman2,terminator salvation ect..with menus. so it looks like it going to be just the movie without menus for this one then cheers for the comms Guys

mrmonsoon · 15th March 2012, 12:07

1) Your sarcasm is not appreciated - especially when I'm trying to help you.

2) Send me the disc and I'll gladly process it ;>}

Nobody is required to help you. If one does it is because s/he wants to help. You can't use sarcasm upon people even if you hired them ... much less when these [try to] help you for free...

mrmonsoon · 16th March 2012, 12:18

So wasting over 18hrs of my time. how is this helping me?
