What happens when these things are sent out from the factory is the default settings in every player are minimal options that will get sound & picture up on as wide a range of systems as possible - the idea is that you then tweak the player options to match your needs.Īs this is a Blu-ray player it will almost certainly be set to basic mode - stereo output. It is almost certainly the firmware/player setup in the initial player at fault here, At least that's what I tell myself to help me sleep at night and put the project to rest. My best guess is that there is just something wrong between the first Blu-ray player → receiver combo that I tried. So in conclusion, I believe that I did everything correct after all.
#AC3 5.1 448 KBPS PORTABLE#
This allowed me to connect to several different 5.1 systems with just my laptop and portable Blu-ray drive. I then played the Blu-ray disk (which is a real pain to do on an apple computer), and outputted the audio via HDMI. I never did solve this problem on this player.įinally, I bought an USB blu-ray drive to connect to my MacBook Pro. But when I hit "Info," on the blu-ray player remote, it would show the correct metadata (5.1 and 448kbps). That same player played the BD also at 448kbps only as stereo. Here is what I found, though: The only Blu-ray player connected to a 5.1 system that I had access to at the time played the DVD at 448kbps perfectly the way it was supposed to in 5.1. Perhaps I should mark this as solved, but I still never figured out entirely everything.
Could the higher bitrate that I am using for the Blu-ray audio be the problem? Or why else would the Blu-ray disk's surround mix be down-mixed to stereo? Any help is greatly appreciated! At least I get the desired "Don't Transcode" status. BUT, for Blu-ray, having the audio all the way maxed to 640 seems to be fine with Encore. Through long trials and error with Encore, I learned Encore will transcode (and of course, down-mix) anything above 448 kbps for DVD.
#AC3 5.1 448 KBPS PRO#
Why is that? The sound system confirms that there are 5.1 channels present at 640 kbps when I hit the "info button on the remote." The only difference between the DVD audio and the Blu-ray audio is the extra option that I have to select for the Blu-ray export settings in Premiere Pro (which I selected "Blu-ray-compliant primary stream"), and the bitrate. My issue is that the Blu-ray is being down-mixed to stereo, but the DVD plays fine on the same sound system.
I am working on an Encore project with Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound.
