Ripping Dolby Atmos into MKV

[recordplay]

I've just been reading the CloneBD forum. I saw the post about Maze Runner: Death Cure. As far as I was aware issues like those, were a player problem. Due to high bitrate atmos tracks. You see the same issue in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for example. I recognize your nick so like me your using a a pc for playback (big madvr fan here too ). And the lavfilter dev solved that problem.

But it still exists if you use say Kodi on Android.

However if the Elby devs can fix it another way, within the container file, then great.

They claim they're working on it. They think it's something about audio packet arrangement according to Fabian. Whatever. As long as they can fix it. LOL

Have they updated the app to where this problem is fixed yet?

I've not seen any updates since October, no. They typically have a several month cycle between releases so I expect we'll see a new beta in the next few weeks that hopefully contains the fix.

Any improvements with 1.14.6's release?

[SamuriHL]

Not sure. Mike didn't put anything in the release notes specifically addressing it but my advice would be to try it on Incredibles 2. That's one of the worst discs for this problem so if it handles that without issue then you should be good.

I just upgraded to 1.14.7 today, and I'm still having issues with converting Maze Runner - The Death Cure on 4k. On the plus side with 14.7, I was able to convert the original Charlies Angels on 4k, which I couldn't with previous version.

What are the issues you're having with Maze Runner? Audio dropouts in ATMOS?

I think he was having the same problem I was which was audio dropouts happening throughout the movie with dolby atmos.

[SamuriHL]

That was my assumption, too, but I just wanted to clarify. I didn't see anything in the release notes to suggest ATMOS support has changed in the latest version so it didn't seem likely that it was fixed. But always worth checking anyway.

I've also recently encountered the TrueHD glitch issue, again exclusively with Pixar/Disney Animation titles (MakeMKV version 1.14.7). Wrote it up in this post before I was pointed to this thread.

Ripping it with CloneBD (1.2.8.1) fixed the glitch for me on the Finding Nemo disc.

Frozen II on UHD has alot of dropouts when ripped with makemkv

[SamuriHL]

Rip it to folder backup with MakeMKV, then open that with CloneBD and create the MKV. That should fix it.

it did, but a fix from mike would be awesome

[SamuriHL]

I understand that. Mike is aware of the issue. I think he's been busy working on other things like UHD firmware support. Just a guess. But he has data that shows the issue so hopefully at some point he'll be able to tackle it.

Mike responded in the “zootopia” thread, which appears to have the same Atmos issue. He asked for a testdump of that disc there. So not sure if it would be helpful to send him testdumps from other affected titles (frozen, toy story, etc.). Would be awesome if the Atmos issue could be solved so we don’t have to rely on another program, especially since makemkv has a much more intuitive, simple interface.

Yes, please do - any sample will do. It would be very nice if you can also make an MKV with a "working method" and then cut 5 seconds from a good MKV around the timestamp of failure, and send this small mkv as well....
