Don't look now and Hannibal are titles that I did not try. I guess they won't work since I'm experiencing the same crash/freeze for Angel Heart.superfans124 wrote: Sat Oct 05, 2019 2:29 pm
thanks, those are basically the same cmd lines I've been using, by following yusesope's instructions.
my "test results" are limited, since I'm only doing DV movies with DTS audio. I first learned the DV mp4 method few months ago, but once I discovered the method only allowed for ac3 audio, and I wasn't willing to sacrifice lossless audio (and atmos), I stopped paying attention. I'm back in the struggle this time learning a new method has been discovered to preserve DTS-HDMA as pcm, so I've only been testing on these type of DV movies.
p.s. the Angel Heart mp4 that crashes my x700 plays fine via USB directly on my C6, though not the lossless pcm since C6 is not equipped with e-arc, so I don't bother with USB>C6 (and also because the occasional green-screen) and only focusing on working around x700 by my personal preference stated above.
Out of the few DV+DTS movies I've tested with x700: angel heart - crashes within seconds; don't look now - crashes within a few seconds, at the studio canal logo; hannibal - very unstable, sometimes crashes around 1/3 mark, sometimes quit playing at half mark...; 2001 a space odyssey: success; shutter island: success. Like you said, all of them, if tried to skip forward, will trigger x700 hard crash regardless. I wonder if X700 will play nicer with other DV-profiles (other than this method's default 7) when tracks are first demuxed?
most of the titles I watched without issues were Atmos converted to lpcm. The shining is in DTSHD and it played perfectly.
on my end, DV single layer profile 5 mp4 created by DVDFAB doesn't work at all with the x700 . they play with messed up colors but the real web-dl single layer DV of Stranger Things season 3 play nicely.
been a while since I tried that though, maybe the new version of dvdfab fixed that.
