Harvey 1950 Blu-ray (2014 Release)

I am trying to rip a video and MakeMKV fails. It can't seem to transcode the DTS-HD MA English stream to FLAC.
I set the location of dtsdecoderdll.dll in the preferences. (Unsure what version, 918kB md5sum: 985735c75664fd9a43dc816bbbf7f6e2)
It works fine when I use the default profile. Also, I have successfully ripped other blu-ray discs with the FLAC profile.

I believe that I have provided the necessary data below. Please advise me if something is needed.

FYI, possibly useless
--------------------------
I demuxed the DTS-HD MA track from the default profile MKV rip and used eac3to in an attempt to convert the file with no success.
It fails with the error "The ArcSoft DTS Decoder reported an error while decoding."
The DTS core, the video, and everything else plays in VLC.

Ouch. The stream looks corrupted, never seen an error like this. Please produce MKV file with DTS-HD audio (no transcoding), then open the file in MKVtoolnix and de-select all tracks except this DTS HD audio track. You will get an MKA file. Please send the file (or link to dropbox) to support@makemkv.com

Any updates on this? Is it a disc mastering error that Universal made? Should I request a replacement disc?

An update

As of a few days ago MakeMKV v1.9.2 still fails to decode the DTS-HD MA stream. I am not sure if the disc was mastered incorrectly or not. It plays on a standard blu-ray player.
This is not meant to insult the author, I greatly appreciate the program.

I believe that I found a workaround for anyone curious....

https://github.com/foo86/dcadec

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/foo86/dcadec.git
make
$ ./dcadec input.dts - | flac --ignore-chunk-sizes -o output.flac -
The program produced a working flac which I believe (hope) is lossless. I don't know how to confirm it. I will try the program on a few other streams and compare to verify that it produces lossless content.
The code is written by one of the Xiph.org guys, which produce excellent work, so I am pretty confident.
