So it looks like it converted properly for you, right?

Correct, and the output looks pretty normal to me

Can you post logs, .inf and MediaInfo of the job you did? If it came out correctly then I don't know what to tell you guys. I've tried re-downloading v0.61.22 of BDRB and start over from scratch. I've checked and re-checked my settings over and over. I've posted logs confirming those settings. Every disc I try with a Lossless track gets converted to AC3 Mono. I'm at a loss other than wiping my drive and installing a fresh Windows 10, although other programs performing the same task work perfectly.

As I mentioned before, I can run my Lossless discs I want to convert through other programs first (which I know is not recommended) but it works just fine and they play perfectly in MPC-HC and/or Kodi. So I'll just take the extra step to convert them first before processing in BDRB until the gremlins decide to stop fu**ing with me. Thanks for the replies...

Your example is not what I am describing. It doesn't look like you are re-encoding the Atmos track but keeping the CORE AC3 track as shown above in BOLD which does not need to be re-encoded. The log should show that the Atmos track is being re-encoded as in my log below. Please run the job again and set up BDRB to re-encode the Atmos track to AC3 and post the results. Thanks for your help.

Can you also post the relevant logs, .inf and MediaInfo from your GB&U job? Thanks for your help...

cartman0208 · 14th July 2021, 08:24

So what should the original audio track look like?
I think you did not post pre-encode mediainfo.
I can then try to find the same from my collection

Unless I am missing something, why would you want to re-encode to AC3 when extracting the core is the easier and better route?

As MrVideo mentions in his quote below, discs with TrueHD/Atmos just extract the core AC3 which is what yours did correctly, my mistake. If you have one, try a disc with a DTS-MA or LPCM track and post your results, thanks.

You are right, my bad. I was thinking BDRB did the same thing as it does with a non-TrueHD/Atmos track, by re-encoding to AC3...

Here's my pre-encode MediaInfo of my GB&U disc:

Done.
Luckily I had a small enough Bluray still on disk (despite Bruce Willis a terrible movie) so I didn't have to reencode the video.

IMO a normal result ... I have no Idea what could be different on your side.

I have no idea either. Thanks for testing...

@spotswood

It looks like there are two audio channels on the original. The second one says:

Code:

Bit rate                       : 192 kb/s
Channel(s)                     : 1 channel
Channel layout                 : C
Sampling rate                  : 48.0 kHz

Any chance that your settings (e.g. language) is telling BD-RB to keep the second (mono) one?

Yes, I saw that too and thought it might be the culprit, but it's the original mono track from the movie which I de-selected. If you look at the pre-encode MediaInfo in my post above it shows:

Audio #1
ID : 4352 (0x1100)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : DTS XLL
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Commercial name : DTS-HD Master Audio

Audio #2
ID : 4353 (0x1101)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Commercial name : Dolby Digital
Codec ID : 129
Duration : 2 h 58 min
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 192 kb/s
Channel(s) : 1 channel
Channel layout : C

...and post encode:

Audio
ID : 4352 (0x1100)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Commercial name : Dolby Digital
Codec ID : 129
Duration : 2 h 58 min
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 640 kb/s

Channel layout : C

BDRB is definitely re-encoding the DTS-MA track since it has the same ID #4352. The original Mono track has ID #4353 and is not included since I de-selected it. I did Atomic Blonde which doesn't have a Mono track that I'll post below...

spotswood · 16th July 2021, 05:25

OK, here's Atomic Blonde. I would normally keep this DTS-X 7.1 track, but am using this as an example:

So once again BDRB is re-encoding the main DTS-MA track ID #4352 to AC3 Mono, no doubt about it. I don't know what else to do. As I mentioned, I don't mind the extra step to re-encode selected titles to AC3 prior to processing with BDRB, but would rather figure out what the problem is. If anyone else can chime in with any suggestions please feel free. Thanks for any help.

As MrVideo mentions in his quote below, discs with TrueHD/Atmos just extract the core AC3 which is what yours did correctly, my mistake. If you have one, try a disc with a DTS-MA or LPCM track and post your results, thanks.

Ok. I just did a disc with a source audio track that was DTS-HD XLL. Here is the MEDIAINFO result on the output:

I'll try a couple other discs... but I'm (at least on this disc) not seeing the issue.

For anyone who wants to test this, I added:

AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1.0

to the INI file. This forces BD-RB to reencode (to a volume of 1.0x the original) instead of keeping the 640Kbs core audio.

Code:

 - [13:20:30] Processing: VID_00003 (1 of 1)
 - [13:20:31] Processing audio tracks
   - Track 4352 (eng): Reencoding audio to AC3...

The bottom line is that it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Now I'm going to load spotswood's INI and try it again.

jdobbs · 17th July 2021, 21:00

Ok. Using spotswood's INI settings, BD-RB kept the original core audio (it didn't reencode). Using the same source as my last post, the output looks like this:

Code:

Audio
Format                                   : AC-3
Format/Info                              : Audio Coding 3
Duration                                 : 2 h 2 min
Bit rate mode                            : Constant
Bit rate                                 : 640 kb/s
Channel(s)                               : 6 channels
Channel positions                        : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE
Sampling rate                            : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate                               : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF)
Bit depth                                : 16 bits
Compression mode                         : Lossy
Stream size                              : 559 MiB (100%)
Service kind                             : Complete Main

Next I will add AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1.0 in order to force reencoding of the audio track (I may also have to change the SETUP setting that says "Do not reencode AC3")

@spotswood

Are you sure this INI is the one you used? If so, why is your log showing a reencode while mine isn't? One other thing... have you tried using MEDIAINFO on the output M2TS instead of the MPLS, just to see if it reports something different (it doesn't on mine)?

[EDIT]

Ok. Now I did it with AUDIO_AMPLIFY set and "Do not reencode AC3" unchecked:

Code:

Audio
Format                                   : AC-3
Format/Info                              : Audio Coding 3
Duration                                 : 2 h 2 min
Bit rate mode                            : Constant
Bit rate                                 : 640 kb/s
Channel(s)                               : 6 channels
Channel positions                        : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE
Sampling rate                            : 48.0 kHz
Frame rate                               : 31.250 FPS (1536 SPF)
Bit depth                                : 16 bits
Compression mode                         : Lossy
Stream size                              : 559 MiB (100%)
Service kind                             : Complete Main

Looks good to me...

@spotswood

Are you sure this INI is the one you used? If so, why is your log showing a reencode while mine isn't?

Yes, I'm sure. I'm guessing in your second example BDRB is just pulling the core AC3 track from the TrueHD track, no reencode needed. In your first example the disc has a DTS-MA track that requires reencoding to AC3.

Anyway, I'VE FIXED THE PROBLEM! I mentioned before that I had started over and re-downloaded and unzipped a fresh v0.61.22 of BDRB leaving everything stock w/o adding any hidden options etc. but the same problem persisted.

Since running the System Settings Check showed everything to be fine, I didn't think to reinstall the helper programs, namely AviSynth. So after reinstalling v2.60 and trying again, voila! The lossless tracks are properly being reencoded to AC3 5.1@640 like they're supposed to. Something must have corrupted my AviSynth installation, I don't know, but after reinstalling it everything is fine now.

What a relief! I was going crazy and really didn't want to wipe my drive and do a fresh W10 install. I apologize again for sending everyone trying to help (namely jdobbs) on a wild goose chase. I feel so stupid that I didn't think to reinstall everything (troubleshooting 101). Whole carton of eggs on face. If I post with what I think is a bug in the future, just ignore me. I'll figure it out eventually...

Yes, with or without it didn't make a difference. This option is checked by default and I've always left it that way. It doesn't seem to make a difference either way. The only options I change depending on the job are "Do not convert DTS to AC3" (when keeping the DTS core), and "Keep HD audio for BD25 intact" (self explanatory and only for 7.1 tracks, personal preference). Thanks again for trying to help. When in doubt, reinstall everything!

jdobbs Moderator Join Date: Oct 2001 Posts: 20,975	@spotswood It looks like there are two audio channels on the original. The second one says: Code: Bit rate : 192 kb/s Channel(s) : 1 channel Channel layout : C Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Any chance that your settings (e.g. language) is telling BD-RB to keep the second (mono) one? __________________ Help with development of new apps: Donations.
