TS mux → crash .. again !?

[ToiletDuck]

The very same file manually muxed in TSmuxer (not via hybrid),

but Hybrid uses tsMuxeR, so unless the .meta file is different the output should be the same, assuming the input files really were the same.

Ofcourse, i alway's use the very same "input files" for comparison, else we keeping running in circles to find an sollution ..

As for the meta info, why is that so crucial for the final results ?  It only describes the content from the input file ?

But guess what, bitrate 768Kb/sec works fine while lowering it to 448 for example does'nt anyrmore = no sound → no bitstreaming possible only PCM !  This is the most strangest thing i have encountered encoding files !!

Nothing strange about that, it's common that hardware players do not support everything you throw at them.
Those things are meant to playback specific stuff, same with hardware video decoders they usually don't support all frame resolution, frame rate, bit rate and encoding features that are possible. It's the same as with DTS, not everything is supported by every hardware player.
(I suspect that 640kbit/s might be the lowest most hardware players will support for 5.1 content in e-ac3.)
There is a reason folks create clip collections to test their equipment right after they bought it or go into shops with USB-sticks with media file collections to see how the hardware can handle the files.

I get that to an point... 

But if you use and stick to Bluray/DVD compliant standards that has been used for decades when you re-encode stuff, then there shouldn't be any issue at all , right?


NO, iam telling you.. something is very wrong at the mux stage process.. ↓


Take the sample i have added as attachement for instance ..

I have done an thorough test with that sample ..

And... the following proves unquestionable that there's definitely wrong at the mux stage !!

First i ran an test and playback the sample on all my devices and software players to see if the source file is not corrupted or has flaws in any way.

The sample (as is / untouched) has DD+ 7.1 audio track with an bitrate of 1664Kbit/sec...  
it plays just flawless on any device & software player (bitstreaming) ..


NOw... check this out..

I have opened the sample in hybrid, and i did choose for Passthrough of all streams & also tried Add first audio track (→NO EAC3 re-encode / important) .. 
so in essence, i've just used hybrid to remux the mkv into TS file.. NO RECODE of any kind !

Guess what...

The same thing happend .... Powerdvd (no bitstreaming)

On my BD-player the same message pops up since using the latest hybrid release (not before !)  .. → "Audio Format not supported " ..  .. So, all of an sudden my BD player is the limiting factor, and / or can't play that bitrate ?  But accepted the audio when i tested the untouched *.mvk AND the TS file i have remuxed myself through TS muxer gui !

My hardware can't be the blame of this anymore, when infact the *.mkv file play just fine and the remuxed ts that didn't go through hybrid for muxing !


Selur, could you add the option to create custom bitrates in hybrid if it's not involving weeks works?


cheers,
