[M2TS] Bluray rip question - 2 channel audio?

[skipdog77]

I ripped a Bluray using AnyDVD. Worked fine. I pulled off the large file and put it on the PCH. The PCH is connected to a Samsung over HDMI. There is no fancy receiver present. The video plays great, but I get no sound. When I hit the audio button I get two options, 5.1 and DTS-MA or something like that. Neither work of course. Is there a way to process the bluray file so I can enjoy 2 channel regular stereo? I put the bluray in my PS3 which is also using HDMI and regular TV audio, and it worked fine.

I appreciate the help!

DTS-MA probably won't work on a TV. The "5.1" you mentioned is questionable. Depends on what codec it really is.

LPCM? AC3? TrueHD? DTS? DD+/EAC3? Any of those look familiar?

Chances are, AC3 5.1 will probably work. The rest... probabaly not. I use an app called eac3to:

You'll probably see something like this:
C:\> eac3to somerip.m2ts
M2TS, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, xx subtitle tracks, 1:45:58, 24p /1.001
1: Chapters, 16 chapters
2: h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
3: DTS-HD Master Audio ......
4: Some Other Codec ......
5: Subtitle (PGS), English
6: Subtitle (PGS), Pig Latin
etc..

So then, you could do this:
C:\> eac3to somerip.m2ts 1: c:\out\chapters.txt 2: c:\out\video.mkv 3: c:\out\audio.ac3 5: c:\out\sub1.sup

Then, use TSMuxeR to put them into a new M2TS... Your subtitles won't work on the PCH as PGS format, but there's not much you can do about that right now unless you're willing to use an OCR-based image-to-text conversion tool (like SupRip).

This is how I would do it, and I know it works. Others will have ways that don't involve command lines and multiple steps and therefore may be preferable to 90% of the population. I'm just sadistic like that. ;-) Someone feel free to post the appropriate RTFM link for ToNMT or whatever the kids use these days. heheh

Sorry to be so ambiguous. Here is the media info from the file's two audio streams:

Audio #1
ID : 4352 (0x1100)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : DTS
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Format profile : MA
Duration : 1h 35mn
Bit rate mode : Variable
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Resolution : 24 bits

Audio #2
ID : 4353 (0x1101)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : DTS
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Duration : 1h 35mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 768 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Resolution : 24 bits

Looks like just DTS MA and DTS .. Maybe the regular audio is in one of the other files?
