DTS-HD HRA (XBR) decoding fails

[holunder2]

Hey,
DTS-HD MA decoding processes just fine with MakeMKV, but whenever I come across a BD with DTS-HD High Resolution Audio the conversation fails. MakeMKV stops on "1.1 K" and I can't abort the decoding, so I only can kill the program.
You can see my conversion profile here.
MakeMKV shows the audio stream as "Name: HRA XBR". I know, HRA is very rare, but the German distributor Constantin uses is on pretty much all of its releases.
Any idea? Thank you very much!

Please send a test dump per /onlinehelp/testdump.html and make sure to select this DTS-HRA audio stream.

I have a similar issue reproducible by using mmdtsdec directly. Would sample raw DTS-HD streams be as good as, or better than, a test dump?

I can provide tracks from BD sources, as well as straight out of the DTS encoder.

I have a stream for him too. Currently I am writing on the mail. (Well, not quite currently, but you understand).

Either one will do. Yes, please send the test streams.

Mhm, I've successfully converted some DTS-HRA tracks, even with older versions of MakeMKV.

Which conversion profile are you using? I had trouble with mine for awhile, and it worked fine with the default profile.

@marcusj0015:
The default one doesn't even decodes or converts anything to FLAC. The "FLAC" profile just copies the DTS-HD HRA stream. I've added this lines to my custom profile:

Code: Select all

    <trackSettings input="DTSHD-stereo">
        <output outputSettingsName="flac-best"
                defaultSelection="$app_DefaultSelectionString">
        </output>
    </trackSettings>

    <trackSettings input="DTSHD-multi">
        <output outputSettingsName="flac-best"
                defaultSelection="$app_DefaultSelectionString">
        </output>
    </trackSettings>

This seams to be the HRA stream, because with this lines MakeMKV displays for the HRA stream "Output format: FLAC audio ( Lossless conversion )". And then, like I have described it, it simply fails on decoding. I have sent Mike a mail with a HRA sample to reproduce this.

[marcusj0015]

Oh, so it's not even the lossless version that you're trying to convert to FLAC?

[holunder2]

@marcusj0015 Nope. DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a "DTS+" between DTS and DTS-HD Master Audio. There are many BDs from some publishers that have only HRA and no lossless Master Audio.
