No sound when backing up BD with original HD audio

[ukguy4672]

Hi guys,

I have a problem and hope someone can help me out.

I'm trying to shrink my copy of Transformers 3 while keeping the original HD audio track.

So I run it through BD Rebuilder. I set the output to BD-25 and used 2-pass to encode. All the options in the "Settings" menu are unchanged. I strip away additional audio tracks and subtitles - leaving only the original H.264 video and TRUE-HD tracks.

Several hours later and the backup is complete. I checked the file with Media Info and it correctly reports that the AVCHD file contains 2 streams; 1 H.264 video and 1 TRUE-HD audio.

So far so good.

However, when I then try and play this on my PS3 (streaming from my laptop) I get no sound whatseover. I press SELECT while the video is playing and it doesn't show any audio track info. Almost as if the file doesn't contain a audio track which I know can't be the case.

I also tried de-muxing the TRUE-HD audio stream using tsMuxer and only encoding the video with BD Rebuilder and then muxing them back together but the end result was no different. No sound on playback.

If I shove the original disc into my PS3 it plays just fine. I can't understand whats wrong here ?

Oh and if I extract the DD 5.1 core from the TRUE-HD and mux that with the re-encoded view then it plays just fine !!!

HELP PLEASE !!!

I guess the first thing I would check is that the disc doesn't contain a Cinavia watermark.

I've heard of True-HD tracks that have issues with TSMUXER, but I've never actually run into one (and frankly I'm not actually sure they really exist). I'll do a test on that disc and see what happens.

Hi!

1) "Transformers 3" Blu-ray has not been noted anywhere as containing "Cinavia"/Verance watermark protection

2) If it did contain the watermark protection, a notification would appear onscreen (usually at some point from 0 to 20 minutes after playing is started) - and then silence

3) Specifically if it's a "cam", it would both immediately be silent and a notification would immediately appear

Thanks jdobbs. I really love your software BTW, was an avid Riptbot264 user before switching to BD Rebuilder.

I'd really love to keep the HD audio tracks if at all possible. So any assistance would be much appreciated.

:thanks:

@sonate and @setarip_old - thanks for your comments guys.

Hi Setarip, thanks for the clarification, I never actually came in contact with one, just read that it silences audio and plagues the PS3.

Let me ask you about the notification warning, is that a track in the video or does it originate from the player firmware?
