Nowhere does it show TrueHD for audio This series predates TrueHD by almost 10 years. TrueHD wasn’t released until 2014.
This makes me wonder just what you have there and whether it’s valid or not.
I suspect, which is reasonably confirmed by this fragment from the FFMPEG command line
Lost (2004) - S03E23 - Through The Looking Glass (2) [Bluray-1080p] [h265 TrueHD 10bit].mkv"
that someone took the official 1080p H.264 DTS audio and made something (H.265 TrueHD) which doesn’t exist in the real world and, unfortunately, doesn’t work.
Unfortunately, something which isn’t working with the official EAE.
The question is:
How to solve this?
My entire BluRay library has TrueHD – I get no failures.
If this were a trueHD failure – EVERYONE would be screaming.
@ChuckPa Thanks for taking the time to help solve this issue, i appreciate your efforts. I am willing to accept the rip was not correct if you suggest so, could you explain how do i use dd to make what you wanted? if you have private contact i can send you the entire file.
‘dd’ is a great tool. When you have time, open the command line and type man dd. You’ll see the full electronic manual for ‘dd’ detailing everything it can do. Almost all commands have their manual this way so you can lookup just about anything.
dd if='name of file.ext' of='sample_for_chuck.ext' bs=1M count=20
if= tells dd which Input File to use. Quote if there are spaces in the name.
of= tells dd where to write the output.
bs= tells dd how big each block (for i/o) should be
count= tells dd how many blocks of data to process. (default is the whole file)

Main 10@L4 – not standard. Level 4 encoding maximum is 20 Mbps.
If this were real HEVC, it would be Level 5 to properly carry the 10 bit bt.2020 color space.
BT-709 color space is 8 bit , not 10-bit. BT-709 is/was used for H.264. BT-2020 is used for HEVC HDR. Almost nobody uses HEVC SDR anymore.
As we learned from bluray.com, no HEVC / TrueHD media was ever produced.
I hope this helps show you how to spot something which isn’t genuine.
Hehe, i usually use makemkv yeah, but this show i couldn’t be bothered to dig up the disks to rip them so, i asked one of my friend for his copy. he does not use any media servers that’s why i assume he didn’t notice the error.
