AVS Video Converter and True-HD Audio (AC3+) issue

[lionelblair]

Hi guys

So I normally convert the main m2ts stream of a ripped blu-ray disc using AVS video converter. This works fine as long as one of the ripped blu-ray audio sources is in AC3, it won't recognise a true-hd stream as an audio stream that it can decode. Most blu-ray discs have a true-hd audio stream in English, as well as a standard ac3 stream in English.

Eagle Eye blu-ray DVD has only True HD audio in English so I cannot convert it with AVS Video Converter. I can convert the true hd stream using eac3to into standard ac3 but when I remux back together into an m2ts AVS video converter will crash when trying to load it. If I remux into a ts file and load that into AVS then it will start but fail after about 10%.

Any ideas folks?

Cheers

Have you tried converting something else like ripbot264?
And how do you mux? using tsmuxer?

What I would try here is open tsmuxer and add the original m2ts file you want to use ,select video track and the hd audio track by ticking the boxes then click on the name of the audio track (not the tick box)to highlight it then further down is another tick box which says downconvert hd audio.In the output section select m2ts muxing then click the start muxing button.You can then try this new m2ts file in your converting program.Don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a try.

PICKY737 - The original poster is a 1 post wonder who never logged in again after the day in which he made that 1 and only post. Thanks for trying though as your response might be useful to others in the future who read this thread, but the original poster is long since gone. This happens a lot here, by the way. We get a lot of new members who ask their one question and then never come back.

My response to the original thread would be that just because you paid for software (AVS Video Converter requires licensing after some introductory period), that doesn't necessarily mean that it's any good, nor does it mean that freeware is worse just because it's free. Ripbot264 would have been a better choice and it's freeware.
