You can generally just mkv the movie with the soundtrack you want and they become very manageable. Sent via BlackBerry -Original Message- From: "Anthony Q. Martin" Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:55:47 To: Subject: Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems I have ripped a few BDs to HD.

FLAC is a lossless codec and from my personal testing in my HT (your results may vary) it sounded better than normal DD or DTS and almost as good as Tru-HD. The real bonus is that it drops the filesize by several hundred MB at least, sometimes more. --- Brian Weeden Techni

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

:So how do you get tru-hd or dts-hd from a set top blu-ray player? I get mine over HDMI. You can also get it over multi-channel analog if your player has those and your receiver has the inputs. I've done both and obviously HDMI is better since you get both video and sound with one cable, instea

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

Isn't DRM just grand! It doesn't really protect the material, just makes it difficult for us to use it, to enjoy what we pay for. So how do you get tru-hd or dts-hd from a set top blu-ray player? The HDMI receiver passes it on to the HDTV (which is stereo). Can't use the SPDIF without it degrading

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

There are also known issues with spdif ports and Bluray, specifically getting any tru-hd or dts-hd decoded. Spdif Is not considered a protected channel for drm and thus the pc might end up downgrading the signal. --- Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation Sent from m

Anthony, I had everything working just fine, using a DVI-HDMI cable for the computer to the HDTV, and either 5.1 Speakers out or coax SPDIF for the computer and HDMI-HDMI cable for cable box to HDTV and Optical SPDIF out for 5.1 sound for cable. I also have the upconverting DVD that requiures a co

Anthony, I use my computer to play Blu-ray discs. That is one of the reasons I am upset that I cannot get the computer connected with HDMI to output any audio. Today is a new day and I hope to get back to the problem. I was on chat with Comcast for hours yesterday and they haven't a clue! They wor

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

James, Which Blu-ray player do you have? Focus on that. The cable boxes are known to be problematic apparently, but the Blu-ray should work to your receiver and then receiver to TV. I would remove everything else from HDMI until you get this part working. For sure there are setting with the p

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

I REALLY REALLY want to uses HDMI. I just can't get it to work as it should. My cable box won't work with my receiver. My new HD4670 doesn't want to output audio via the HDMI. I am chatting online with Comcast as I type, and I don't think they have ANY idea of what HDMI is for. The rep is asking if

Re: [H] HDMI Audio Problems

Check this out: *"How HDCP can mess up HDMI, and how to handle it* For all the great things about HDMI, it can cause some headaches. The main culprit is HDCP. Unfortunately, not every "handshake" goes smoothly, and you could be faced with slow switching speeds, a screen filled with static, or

[H] HDMI Audio Problems

Is HDMI ready for prime time? I was excited to purchase an HDMI capable reciever that would do 5.1 sound. It seems to give me nothing but problems. I can't hook up my Comcast DVR because it complains that the route is not HDCP compatible, which it is supposed to be. Same problem with me DVD player.
