Home Theater Demo Disc - Version 2.0 - Page 54

Great thx Steve !

I'll ask in the Oppo 103 thread, some of these guys eat, drink and sleep that stuff, I'm sure they'll know.

Now if I can only get the torrents going for superleo's reference 2 disc, u torrent has been saying 'connecting to peers'. Was over 5 hours this morning and it was still saying the same thing for all of them: Connecting to peers. No download has started

Almost done downloading and I'm very excited. Thanks for putting the time in on this project and sharing with others.

I don't have a burner or a portable drive big enough for the file. Is it possible to put it into the iTunes file and stream through the Apple TV and not lose quality?

It isn't a single file, but a bunch of files.

I found that you are right about the multiple files. I put one file on a flash drive and transferred it over onto the PS3. The video plays great but there's no audio. Anyone have any ideas? I copied from the streaming folder, file #00021 and no other files. Is there an audio file that needs to go with it or is there some conflict with the type of file and the PS3?

Thanks

Would I steer you wrong? A single file for a Blu-ray could only be an ISO of the disc. A Blu-ray authored disc, just like a DVD authored disc, always consists of multiple file.

The audio is embedded in the m2ts file. As I do not have a PS3, I can be of no further assistance.

The M2TS file is all you need to just play a single clip - the file has both video and audio.

That is what I thought because I couldn't find any other files that were audio. The information on the PS3 for the files is blank for the audio codec. It's either somehow not there or a codec that doesn't work with the PS3. What audio codec is on these files? It's really a shame because the PS3 allows me to copy all these moves and blend them together into one movie.

It is very well known that the PS3 does not play m2ts files. It will play TS files or MP4 files. You can always convert these to the necessary extension/container. The other way that you can play the disc as a true disc is to run the BDMV folder through MultiAVCHD and play it from an external drive. The PS3 plays it with out any issues and the way the disc was intended to be experienced - with menus.

I was typing as SuperLeo posted but here is what I have found out
As Blu_One said the m2ts does contain audio and video. I have been able to replicate your problem and I believe it might be because the PS3 will not read the HD audio from the m2ts file. I have tried file 21 as you mentioned which is Dolby True HD and file 24 which is DTS HD. Neither work.

I tried downconverting with tsmuxer as mentioned in post 2 here http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=16808 and it worked for the Dolby HD to AC3 but not the DTS HD to Dts

I would suggest using the info found in post 2 here http://www.avsforum.com/t/1469192/reference-2-blu-ray-demo-disc-bd9s-bd50

I have done this successfully while learning about these discs and testing for the PS3. You can drag the individual m2ts files into multiAVCHD to create your own greatest hits so to speak but you will lose the great menus that have been created by the guys who put together these discs. Unfortunately since the PS3 can only have one AVCHD folder on the root of the external drive ( it can't see multiple partitions either, i tried) you need to have a separate drive for each demo disc that is found here at AVS, or put together your own as i mentioned above.

Ultimately that is what I will have to do. Full credit goes to the disc creaters as I am just dragging and dropping files and these guys did all the work. Unfortunately I have to work with what I have which is one external drive and a PS3, which leaves me limited in my ability to enjoy all the discs

Thank you for looking into this and helping. I was super excited to see the video come up and play great on the ps3. Such a let down when I maxed out the volume and nothing came out. I guess I will have to find a friend with a burning and just do it the correct way and take advantage of the entire content. I was hoping to watch this with the new speakers before leaving to Germany.

if your external drive is large enough just drag the bdmv folder into multiAVCHD as SuperLeo said. You will get the full experience with menus

I do have a WD 1Tb backup drive but haven't quite figured out how to place folders on it ( I'm an idiot ).

Thanks again for your help guys. By the time I get back home, the reference 2 demo should be done downloading as well.
