Hey guys,

I ran into a weird issue lately: The short version is I tried to remux a retail-UHD and burn it back on a BD-R DL 50 GB which all worked fine, but when I'm trying to play it on my Panasonic UBP-824 or the PS 5, it starts to stutter as soon as the bitrate exceeds 60 MBit/s.

Now the more detailed version of what I did:
First I authored a normal 1080p-Blu-ray with menu etc. using Encore CS 6. For the video I just used a proxy-encode in 1080p, just to get it integrated into the menu-structure. Then I replaced it as described here. Then I updated the BD-profile to level 3.00 with BDedit and burned it using ImgBurn (UDF 2.5 and whatever settings it used automatically after it recognized the BD-structure). The player recognizes it as UHD and the menu etc. are all ok. The film starts, but soon as the bitrate exceeds 60 MBit/s it starts to stutter.

I also added a Dolby Vision-layer from a Web-DL (the original disc only has HDR10), but that's not the issue - I also tried to burn it without the Dolby Vision-layer and the results were the same. What might also be important to know is that I also completely swapped the audio-tracks. The original disc had 10 audio-tracks with (according to BD info) a total bitrate of 6879 kBit/s, mine has 8 DTS-HD MA-tracks with a total of 12079 kBit/s.

Are there any limitations with self-burned BD-R discs or is there something in the burn-settings or the BD-structure that needs to be changed, so it also plays fine on the UHD-player? When trying to play the burned disc with VLC it also works fine, so it's not an issue with the disc itself. The Blu-ray white-paper mentions something about 72 MBit/s or 92 MBit/s for 50 GB-discs and 92, 123 or 144 MBit/s for 66 and 100 GB-discs. But somehow I can't quite figure it out whether this is my bottleneck or what else I am doing wrong.

What worries me is that I can't find any other reports about issues like this. When someone asks about burning UHD-discs, it's just recommended to use common 50 or 25 GB-discs since the BD-R XL-discs won't play on most standalone-players. But nothing about bitrate-limitations etc.

Anyone here knowing what might help to get this solved or is it just impossible what I'm trying to do here?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey guys. Thanks for the acceptance.  I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts and learning about all the edits that are out there.

I'm trying to extract the trivia subtitle track (in VOBSub form) from the first Sam Raimi Spider-Man DVD and sync it to the UHD, but I cannot find a way to extract the subtitle stream and convert it to PGS, any solution out there?

I came across this post recently, and was wondering whether anybody has captured the LD audio, or better yet, synced it up to the BD or UHD. Thanks.

Good morning  Thanks for the acceptance.  I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts and learning about all the edits that are out there.

The last time I watched the extended trilogy was when they came out on 4K UHD, which sure had its pros and cons. I'm keen on checking out Dwalin/44rh1n's regrade of FotR and Dwalin's TT, but would be keen on an encode at maybe twice the bitrate. What are your guys' go-to versions of these films?

Hi there!

Just joined. Exciting to see all the projects and love for them here! Amazing efforts!

Cheers,

Hi there!!!

I'm trying to sync the Atmos track from the German Pitch Black UHD to the Arrow UHD, which has a higher bitrate, but the Arrow is 24 fps while the German is 23.976. I've been using various methods to change the framerate of the audio like eac3to and ffmpeg, but none of them seem to work, any way I can easily change the framerate or slow down an audio track to the right framerate?
