Description of problem or question:

I rip a 7.1 blu-ray and MediaInfo reports the following:

There are additional audio tracks, but they're not English. In Handbrake (v1.1.0), the two English tracks show up as:

Code: Select all

1 English (DTS-HD MA) (5.1 ch)
1 English (DTS-HD) (5.1 ch)

Why is there no 7.1 ch choice listed?

We don't support DTS-HD MA yet. You only get the DTS Core when selecting that track, hence 5.1 channels.

Passthru for DTS-HD appears to work - regardless of what GUI reports.

I am also waiting for the option to convert 7+ channels from DTS-HD to something else.
