8%... 9%... it's actually not so bad and it's still a heck of a lot faster than waiting for arcsoft getting their links fixed .

Thanks so much!

My copy of Jumper is Region B - AnyDVD is set to remove region, HDCP, and BD+ protection. PowerDVD 8 works without any problems, but TMT only results in the black screen.

Apparently Jumper used a new type of BD+ protection that caused lots of suffering for people - I think TMT is not able to compensate for whatever AnyDVD does to it when the BD+ protection is removed/java altered.

Same problem here

Is there still someone who had not give up with TMT?

I won't even consider PDVD again unless they:
- Allow me to completely turn off those two useless extra movie DB "features"
- Fix that "resume" issue with buttons that don't highlight - make it an option, or just turn it off
- Fix the deinterlacing issues - e.g. Enchanted music video at 60p looks great with TMT, awful with PDVD

Until then, TMT for me...

You don't need PDVD for TMT to run. Try uninstalling other players and TMT then reinstall TMT again, that helps sometimes. Some freeware Antivirus programs can cause a problem also.The best way to get TMT running is to do a clean install of OS with all updates and then TMT. It's a pain but thats how I have 5 systems running with no problem. I don't have any 3rd party codecs installed as some may cause a problem with TMT.

When you deleted the old version of TMT, did you do a full registry cleanup? You have do manually delete all instances of "Arcsoft" and TotalMedia" one-by-one. Using CCleaner is also advised but you still need to clean up the registry manually.

And always re-boot after do the registration clean-up.

What is your System, OS specs. I read you had driver issue's with your HD4650 card, that could be the problem.

Hey guys. I've gone through this thread (which has become a novel) and cant find the answer specifically......is TMT still having problems playing the TrueHD sound on a movie only rip done with Muxer. I have ripped 21 and the AC3 sound streams play fine, but cant get any sound from the TrueHD stream. The ripped full ISO image of 21 plays the TrueHD fine in TMT....so im assuming that it TMT doesnt like something Muxer is doing to the stream. If i downcovert the stream to AC3 its fine.....anybody having any problems like this?? Thanks

ok got video to work by installing latest drivers from ati (bit of a fiddle)
only trouble now is the lack of sound in MCE with tv and dvd's off hard disc and also the terrible stuttering on TV
i see arcsoft have installed its own audio setup screen accesed through WMP11 but it makes no sense and is not available from MCE as before

I think the problem lies more with tsmuxer, which has a bug for taking care truehd tracks. I exactly have the same problem as movies that I remuxed with truehd audio tracks don't play in TMT (but they do play in powerdvd so maybe powerdvd is more tolerant).
Regardless, what I do now is to transform the truehd audio tracks to LPCM. I use eac3to to demux the truehd track into lpcm. I then use pcm2tsmu to modify the track that eac3to created as it doesn't work with tsmuxer otherwise. After that, I start tsmuxer, unselect the truehd track and add my newly created lpcm track. This then works in TMT and I keep lossless sound.
The only caveat with this is that it takes a little bit more steps to process a movie and the final iso file is a little bit bigger than if it was containing the truehd audio track. Hopefully, tsmuxer bug will be fixed to process correctly truehd audio tracks.

It worked! Thanks so much! I was able to register this version (still waiting for my confirmation email though) and even update to what I believe is the latest version (2.1.6.125).

Thanks again!

.113 trial version of TMT is also currently available on download.com if you prefer.

Edit: I don't know if downloading from download.com will be faster or slower for you but at least theres a choice.

Thanks for the relpy mulder.......at least I know its not something I'm doing. i figured it was tsMuxer......seems like they would do an update. i have heard from other folks that powerdvd will play the muxed rip with truehd but I want to try and stick with TMT. I also very much appreciate you work-around solution. i havent worked with eac3to or pcm2tsmu before, but i'll give it a shot. if i have any questions, i might pm you if thats ok. thanks again for the info.

For True HD try TSRemux. While it works for True HD, it doesn't work properly with DTS HD-MA (at least for me). My rule is to use TSMuxer for Master Audio and TSRemux for True HD. Results will be good in TMT.

Thanks Don. I didnt even know about TSRemux for some reason. I'll give that a try as well.........I'm assuming you get the same video results with it as Muxer.

Hey Don. I tried doing a movie only rip of 21 BD with TSRemux and sure enough the TrueHD stream produces sound in TMT. BUT its stuttering.....not terrible, but too much for it to be enjoyable. Any special settings you recommend? i did a blu-ray output as i'm wanting to launch movies from folders. i left all other settings at default (there aren't many settings). thanks

Have you noticed that TMT can't read the proper information for TrueHD after using tsremux? It appears that the TrueHD track is there, but TMT doesn't show the bitrate and the label in Information only says "TrueHD". If you load the original the label is different and the bitrate is shown properly.

It's always bothered me since it makes it difficult to compare and show things are as they should be.

After reading this forum many times and bitching / complaining myself, I have finally figured out what the hell is wrong with TMT on my system.

I simply overpowered TMT and now everything works great.

I added the following to my setup:

Core 2 Duo E8400 (overclocked to 3.6 Ghz)

Sapphire Radeon 4550

2 GB (DDR-800 RAM)

I did a fresh reinstall of Vista and installed .125 over the weekend. No more CPU spikes, everything runs between 2 - 10%.

And re-start supporting HD DVD.

Okay, Im having the same problem as everyone (almost) in getting TrueHD to output via the spdif in anything more than two channels.

I have a asus motherboard with the realtek '97 system with both optical and coaxial outputs. The motherboard also has analog 7.1 outputs. Would I be better off using the analog outputs to the reciever letting TMT do the decoding?

What am I not understanding here?

A lot. You cannot get TrueHD output via SPDIF period, never will be able to either. You will HDMI, hardware that supports it (Asus sound card for example), and software that supports it (TMT has a side version that comes with the Asus card that sort of supports it, see the related thread).

I always output as blu-ray and use default settings.

Did you remux directly from the original disc or did you rip to hard drive first? I have had rare problems with some discs not being remuxed properly from the original disc, but ripping to a hard drive folder before remuxing always works for me.

Don

Edit: I do remember one title (Valley of Elah) that had a problem similar to yours. I couldn't get it to remux properly with either TSRemux or TSMuxer. I was forced to simply rip the entire disc to the hard drive.
