ok ill start this from beginning. ok i have alot of hard drive space so i wanted to create a blu-ray library. so i have a blu-ray reader/burner drive, and downloaded anydvdhd to rip to the hard drive. that went fine they copied over and all was great.
(also i have anydvdhd to rip...power dvd 7.3 and 8.0.... and i have nero showtime 3 for playback)
my first project was sunshine, i ripped it and used power dvd 7.3 to play it and all went great. wonderful picture, amazing sound, it was perfect.
then i tried pirates 1 & 2.... heres where the trouble started. both movies ripped fine to the hdd, however playback is where my problems are. i was getting a black screen with no audio, and no video with pirates 1, on powerdvd 7.3. i read on the forum to try another program, so i try powerdvd version 8.0. now i get a crisp perfect picture, but there is no sound at all. i then try nero showtime and i FINALLY get the audio and the video, but there picture is awful. what can i do, or to put it better what am i doing wrong?
pirates 2 was similar, although it plays video on 7.3 and 8.0 pdvd, and the same result with great sound and shitty picture in nero.
i thought at first i had bad rips, so i retried both and got the same results. im going to try more different blu-ray's to see if maybe its just the pirates films. i thought maybe they used a special security encryption to block audio or something from a copy, but this wasnt the case because i got audio playback in nero. can i be missing a codec for powerdvd 7.3 and 8.0? and if so then why did sunshine play with no issues in sound or video.
oh i forgot to add.... the files come out as m2ts files. is this my issue? i have tsremux, but when i use it wont do what i want it too. i try to remux a m2ts to a ts file but all i get is a script paper with format as file. thats it, not m2ts, not ts, just file. i read somewhere maybe its vista creating the problem. im operating on vista 64bit. if thats an issue or im not doing it right (as in dont know what im doing in tsremux) then please help.
