bluray ripping and playing question

[kschewe]

Hi
core2 6550
ati 4830
4gigs ram
xp sp3
lg bluray drive

I used anydvd to rip a few of my bluray movies to computer. The bluray movies play fine with no trouble on the computer. The m2ts files, that are ripped to computer, are not smooth at all, looks like skipping frames or someone trying to play crysis on a pentium2. The audio is fine. They are vc1 streams. I play the files in powerdvd and same thing, cpu only at 10% since ati hardware decoding. I tried on another computer nvidia hardware and same problem. I even encoded the files to h264 and motion problem is in the new encoding. Is it possible that anydvd is the problem here and not ripping the file properly? For a test I demuxed it and the video stream played better possibly. I am lost on this one. Any ideas would be helpful

AnyDVD should give you a exact copy of the BD, minus the encryption. I would suggest uninstalling AnyDVD and reinstalling. Maybe a problem with the install. With your video card, you should have no problem with .m2ts playback. I use a quad core 9300, but your setup should be able to handle the display. If you had the same problem with the file on another computer, then maybe AnyDVD, but not sure how or why.

One last question, does this happen on more than one BD disc? Some discs are a bit harder to work with.

Last thought, are they playing back from a different hard drive? Maybe a data transfer problem?

Also make sure your video drivers are updated. If so, try an older video driver. ATI has occasional driver problems. I usually get the video drivers directly from ATI and not the video card or motherboard manufacturer.

That's about all I can think of at present.

And welcome to our forums.

Thanks for your response so fast. I am doing more testing. When I demux the video, seperate into audio video, the video file plays fine but when combined then crap. I am going to try and convert it that it is demuxed and see what happens. I am fortunate to have a laptop with nivida pure video. Same thing. I dont have a bluray on laptop but I will experiment with hddvd rip, laptop has that, to rule out possible drive troubles. but it plays fine lol by disc on both lol. just an note to anyone that reads this but there is dvdfab 5 trial that rips bluray, works on new movies i own. probably an ati thing. i use the onboard sound on the video card since makes it easy with hdmi. I will update my problems so we can all learn but feel free to comment

oh i forgot tried on a few blurays all vc1 streams though. all drivers are latest and probably not greatest


Figured out finally. Thanks for the response so fast again. I figured it out to be a problem with ffdshow. I updated to this version and then no problems ffdshow-rev2734_20090301. Well it was a good learning experience. Mods can lock

Good to hear you found a solution. ffdshow has a lot of builds. Maybe the one you used had a problem. I've been lucky in that my combination seems to work for me. I usually use BD>AnyDVD>Rip Bot>MKV, and size the file for a DL disc. Occasionally, I've needed to use tsMuxeR to get it all to work.

BD conversion is bit of a 'black art' at present and finding the correct solution isn't always easy.
