So, I have a .m2ts file that I ripped myself from a Blu-Ray using DVDFab6. I have done this before without any problems, but this file has been unplayable.
I have attached the media info (from MPC) for the file that doesn't play (South Pacific) and for 2 files that play perfectly (Moon and District 9). The key differences seem to be 1080i to 1080p, NTSC to ~24 frames and 4 reference frames to 2. The problem file also has an unusually high bitrate of 35mbps. However, the file appears to be within the Blu-ray spec so it *should* play.
I have tried it in various ways, all appear to use DXVA:
MediaPortal (codecs as above): MP drops more frames than it plays (See attached stats.jpg). Sound fine.
MPC-HC: At first it wouldn't play, and would actully cause it to become partially unresponsive. Eventually I was able to get it play fairly well by changing render mode from 'EVR Custom' to 'EVR'. I think it still drops frames though, it doesn't seem completely smooth.
Window Media Player: Video fine, no sound.
GraphStudio: PERFECT! See attached GraphEdit.jpg.
So GraphStudio tells me that it should be possible to play it in MediaPortal, but I have my codecs set-up in the same way and it still doesn't work. At this point I've reached the limit of my expertise. I justb didn't think I'd have this problem with files within BD spec. (MP logs are also attached, but I don't think they show anything useful).
So, does anyone have any ideas what the problem/solution might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
