sry to post this here if'n'I got it wrong Hi, First off sorry for the long winded post. I been downloading a few of these bd 5's, transformers was the first. When i burned the file to disk and played it on ps3 the picture was awesome, but i had this extremely annoying crackle on the audio. The ps3 is connected to my Yamaha DSP-A1 amp via optical connection (no HDMI on The Amp). The crackle was so bad as to make the movie unwatchable, the audio format of transformers was ac3. Thinkining this was a problem with the rip i snatched "the kingdom" bd5, same result awesome picture, shite audio, same crackle. So iI gave up on bd5's. Since then i snatched a couple of x264 hd files. One of them came with audio in dts, so i couldnt run it through tsmuxer, i had to use mkvtovob. The finished article played perfectly, the dts had been converted to ac3 and no crackle. Thinking that the latest firmware update had sorted my audio woes I snatched Independence Day BD9, when burned and played in ps3 unfortunately i got same crackle. The only way to sort this problem is to disable DD5.1 in XMB. Independence Day and others play fine sans crackle in PCM, alas this not why i spent 2 grand on DSP-A1 10 yrs ago Or why i spent 350 notes on a ps3. BTW normal BluRay Discs play without any problems If anyone who can shed any light on this, I will be eternally grateful Cheers smallgod (paul) am a newb here so pls forgive any cock-ups
Hey Smallgod, I have exactly the same problem with my DSP-A1. Unfortunately, I'm also still looking for a solution.
If these BD5/9's comes as .ISOs, it could be the way they were muxed, or even ISO'd. I suggest mounting them to a virtual drive (Slysoft has a free one), demux the raw streams using tsMuxeR, remux using tsMuxeR to AVCHD, then burn the folders. You should also get the latest version of tsMuxeR. BTW, tsMuxeR DOES handle DTS fine, it only can be heard either muxed in AVCHD or Blu-ray. It will not work on the PS3 in m2ts.
