transcoded mkv file has audio that "judders"

Hey there guys,

I've look for an answer to this problem on this forum and on the macrumors thread and can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem.

I've used MakeMKV to rip a couple of my blurays and have attempted to recode them for my PS3 and iPhone using handbrake. The MKV files play perfectly through Plex. However, when I recode them, the audio "judders" through the entire file, regardless of the preset I've used. I've tried the a number of different presets and they all have the same weird audio results - the picture is always fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT: Apparently the problem was the result of not having the most recent version of HB. I downloaded it and all is well now. Thanks anyway!

A Side fix for Hand Brake and xvid4psp,ripbot, etc is to switch container from MKV to TS or m2ts. Encode them to ehat u want, then which it back. So far it's fixed every one of my audio/video issues.

Hi, I?ve exactly the same problem. I make a mkv from a dvd with makemkv. the file is ok. then I convert it with handbreak to h264 mkv. this file is now buggy - the sound is stuttering.
I think it?s a problem of the latest makemkv version - it?s with the mac and windows version. A few days ago it worked.
If I use dvd iso format then it works also ...

please help

I have used x264 to encode as recent as a few days ago in Handbrake and have not had those audio problems. I have had other problems with Handbrake as far as audio goes however.

I have used tsMuxer and demuxed the audio from the original file that MakeMKV creates, then I encode the video in Handbrake without audio, and mux the original audio back into the video with MkvMerge.

Hi rmb7984,

I have the same problem with the audio "judders" after I have encoded the MKV file with Handbrake into a h.264 file.

I'm currently using the latest version (0.9.3) of Handbrake or is there something newer which does not show up on the official download list?

Thanks a lot

Sascha
