DVDFAB rip then WMP11 To PS3 - AC3/5.1 Audio | Thread profile

I am getting myself totally confused I think... I have some DVD's I have ripped (mainmovie then using "vobmerge" rather than vob passthru) which play happilly in 5.1 sound....i have others which don'y play ANY audio.... Does anyone have something they know that works to allow the audio to stream in 5.1 to the ps3 from wmp? Sorry guys i am just done in trying to work this one out??

So let see if I got it, you're ripping with Fab,and using VOBMerge to get one large VOB, then streaming vob to PS3 using WMP11? Try with TVersity...And BTW, what's "hit and miss" ,the merging of vobs or the streaming of AC3 5.1 ch audio?

It's a different program for merging all the VOB's together...not a dvdfab program....In theory VOB Passthru should do the same as it does but I am finding in practice it doesn't...but it's hit and miss tbh..

Yep that's it mate....Tried Tversity....it's the audio thats hit and miss..often it gets absolutely zero audio but it i capture just the AC3/2 channel audio it's fine...but it's ony 2 channel which is not what I want.. It's odd.. Will post some G-Spot screen dumps to show difference between one that works and one that doesn't. Thanks for the responses so far though...

G-Spot may not tell you the problem as it expects the file to be the same throughout. The PS3 is sensitive to audio delay and audio changes in the beginning of the file. As a test, use DVDFab to make a vob file ...

Just noticed there is only 1 chapter in the DVD...2:36.00 long..so I can't do a sample...Will try another DVD Interesting though I also re-tried the Mobile / PS3 option and the AVI produced has about a 2-3 second lag ..audio first then the lip movement... No idea if that would havegiven me 5.1 audio but I doubt it but given it just doesn't work I wont perseve.. Will do the test you ...

DVDFab doesn't currently support 5.1/6 channel AAC. I believe it's in their to do list...So using the PS3 profile you'll only get AAC 2channel audio in .mp4 file..... I love FAB platinum, however at this stage I don't normally use it for PS3 conversions....I just gotta have 5.1/6 channel audio.....but to each their own!....

Problem with the Profile you mention is I see a loss of lip sync in it....On the PC it can be fine but the PS3 lags.... The only format I have found so far that retains the lip sync is the Generic VOB Passthru (and select the audio track - Ac3/51. or AC2 (DTS never works) ) . Having said that I have just ripped a different DVD and it's come through perfectly in 5.1. There must be ...

Re: DVDFAB rip then WMP11 To PS3 - AC3/5.1 Audio Have you tried the generic.avi.xvid.audiocopy profile? I understand that some PS3 owners report being able to play these files and they retain the 5.1 Dolby Digital sound if you select the correct soundtrack. Also VOB Passthrough profile from Fab should give you a similar result but a larger file size. You end up with one ...
