Re: Question on DTS 7.1 and 5.1 audio tracks - both required

Receivers aren't as dumb as to discard channels. So as long as it can play the track, it will downmix it to 5.1. Edit: that being said, the presence of two tracks does suggest the 5.1 mix differs from a simple 7.1 -> 5.1 downmix (that, or the Blu-ray authors are stupid), so for a 5.1 system if might...

Re: Dolby Digital Plus Problem

Correct. Kodi should be perfectly capable of downscaling video (most everything is, though some do better jobs than others).

Re: Ultra HD Bluray

Re: New BD killed MakeMKV - Reset to default settings ?

Unfortunately this is caused by a feature of the AACS system. Newer AACS versions blacklist known compromised keys from earlier AACS versions (IIRC, at the firmware level); you have 3 workarounds: - use another BD drive and make sure to only insert discs with AACS v52 or earlier (they'll blacklist k...

Re: ~ 1000 hours of audio skew?

Just a guess but it looks like it may be logging a signed number incorrectly, the gap is probably minus a few milliseconds.

Re: Upmix Stereo to 5.1?

FFmpeg bug would be my guess. Can't be bothered to test it, TBH.
