Blue Planet (2013 USA) off pitch and stuttery when ripped via makemkv

Post by sephirothkefka »

Hey all,

Recently got a copy of the US release of the BBC nature docu Blue Planet on Amazon. When I ripped the disc I noticed the audio sounded a bit off as it was higher pitched and more stuttery than usual (this has a 5.1 DTS-MA sound track). Putting in my Blu-ray player did reveal that it was the fault of makemkv not the disc itself as the audio sounded proper (in 5.1 too no less). I feel like this might be some flag related thing. Any ideas? it appears to be rendered at 23.976fps on both the mkv and the player via its player info.

The player has the correct pitch while the ripped mkv doesn't. I'm doing a bluray decrypt to see if the m2ts streams themselves play fine and then might make an mkv out of those.

EDIT: One of the M2TS streams finished ripping and its still high pitched. i wonder whats going on hmmm...

yeah but players treat different sources differently it ripped off the disc exactly how it is.

My player is a Panasonic UB9000. I might try on some other players to see how they decode (have a Xbox series x, ps5, and ps3 on hand)

I think Billycar11 is talking about which software you're using to play either the .mkv or .m2ts files on your computer.

MakeMKV is really good at making an exact copy of the data on a blu-ray disc. Often when people think MakeMKV has ripped something incorrectly (without MakeMKV spewing errors all over the log) because either the audio or video is wrong or distorted in some way, the culprit is usually the software they're using for playback on their computer.

What software are you using on your computer for playback?

I guess this thread is irrelevant now. Turns out every episode except the first has improper pitch and stuttering due to a lazy sd-hd conversion job. the original DVD was stereo DD to boot so I just decided to use that rather than the bluray. I wonder if the uk bluray is borked as that is dd stereo like the dvd rather than 5.1 dts ma.
