Description

When playing certain HD-DVD movies ripped with makemkv (to mkv container) with Dolby Digital Plus (DD+), the audio crackles and pops rapidly (about 5 pops per second).

Interestingly, some HD-DVDs work fine and others don't.

Some that work - Blazing Saddles, Swordfish

Some that don't - Mission Impossible III, Knocked Up

If I turn off the "Dolby Digital Plus capable receiver" option, sound works, but is only Dolby Digital.

I've tried enabling EDID per another post, but no help.

Boxeebox is hooked up directly to an Onkyo TX-SR605 AVR via an HDMI 1.3b cable.

All HD-DVDs send DD+ fine to the same receiver from an HD-DVD player.

It would help us reproduce and fix the issue if you could please upload the file or a file sample to the "dropbox/incoming" directory at
ftp://ftp.boxee.tv
user: dropbox
pass: swA4EQAt

Before uploading, Rename the file to include the issue number in its file name.
This is a write only FTP, and other people will not see your files.

so sorry it took so long to respond - I didn't see your response until now.

The file is uploading now via the instructions you've provided. It's saying it's going to be another 46 hours! Pretty fast connection on my end...

Do you have a different FTP site we can use? Apparently, the server is disconnecting and the transfer is starting over - another 44 hours to go!

It is. I just restarted the transfer 15 minutes ago, after I realized I didn't include the ticket # in the file name. Are you able to use the 2GB file?
