How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
I tried using AC3 passthrough, but the final file had no audio. I read on the Handbrake 'documentation' page that LPCM is not offered as a passthrough option.
Is there an audio option that would preserve more than 640 kbps? AAC goes to 512, AC3 goes to 640.
Would any of these options preserve most/all of the original 1536kbps audio:Auto passthrough, E-AC3 passthrough, DTS passthrough, DTS-HD passthrough, True-HD passthrough, AAC passthrough?
I play my video on my Win 7 PC, using WMP wth LAV audio/video codecs.
Thanks!

Encode to FLAC (lossless). There is no PCM passthrough.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Flac doesn't seem to be supported in WMP, as there's no audio. Maybe there's a codec I can download and add to my WMP so it can play Flac?
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Bit rate does not determine how good the audio is, once you change encodings. LPCM has no compression, so it uses a higher bit rate for the "same quality" as lower bit rates in either AAC or AC3.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
So, the LPCM audio will sound as good as LPCM audio converted to AC3 640kbps?
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
That depends on your sound system as much as anything else. 
LPCM is essentially the encoding used on CDs, a straight digitization of the audio as either 8 (rare on DVD/BD), 16, or 24 bits. How well it plays back depends on your digital to analog conversion. And it always uses the same number of bits to encode the audio, no matter how complex or simple it is.
Here's an experiment that you can perform at home, at no cost (except for electricity and time). Take your source, and encode it with handbrake, adding multiple audio tracks to it. For each audio track, select the different available encoders, and try different bit rates and mixdowns.
Play the result in a player that allows you to select from the multiple tracks. Which ones sound acceptable TO YOU, and which ones are buzzy, unlistenable streams that test your patience (you know the kind of track!)?
A lot about encoding is about the "target audience". When you're the target, you're really the only one that can determine when it is "good enough". And handbrake lets you play to find what you like. It isn't even necessary to encode a whole movie or whatever - find a section with complex sound, and encode just that portion.
Oh, and you should update to 1.2.2, because 1.0.x's AAC encoder is far from perfect, unless you compile handbrake yourself. The "top of the line" open source AAC encoder can't be distributed as part of the handbrake binary, because of licensing. 1.2.x has a better encoder than 1.1 and earlier used.

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Thanks for the lengthy explanation. I've already started to experiment with a short clip I made of my video using different audio codecs. I've already made rips of my discs a few years back, but using 160kbps audio, and I thought I could re-rip them, then handbrake them to a higher audio bit rate for a better audio. My audio system is 7.1, about 7-8 on a scale of 10.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
I've finished my tests of all the available audio codecs(12 different for my test file), and as I thought only 3 produced audio:AAC 512kbps, AC3 640kbps, and auto passthru(it defaulted to 224 kbps), 9 test files produced no audio.
I guess my last question is:is it worth my time to re-rip 8 Blu-Ray discs and encode the audio to AC3 640? The first time I handbraked the rips, I used AC3 160. Will I actually be able to hear the difference between 160kbps and 640kbps?

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Are you sure you did AC3 at 160k, not AAC?
Was your 160k encode stereo or 5.1?
Actually it doesn't matter: if it was stereo, I'd redo it with 5.1, and if it was 5.1 at 160k, I'd redo it with 5.1 at a more reasonable bitrate.
So yes, redo them.

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Yes, it was AC3 160, stereo. There is no 5.1 option in the mixdown drop down box. The Blu-Rays are older, from the 1970's, so the original audio is probably just stereo.
I really wish there was a way to passthru that Flac 1536kbps audio.
I recently re-ripped some other Blu-Rays that had DTS 5.1 1536 kbps audio, originally handbraked to AC3160, that I handbraked with DTS passthru, and I can really hear the audio difference between the 160 and the 1536 versions!

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Yeah, I've tried VLC, but don't care for it...the videos just don't look as good as when played thru WMP. I discovered that my Blu-Ray discs have two audio streams...one is the 1536 kbps PCM, and the other is DD stereo...but it's only 224 kbps. So, I guess I'm stuck with converting the PCM to AC3 640 kbps?

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
I would personally convert to FLAC and use additional software to extract the FLAC, convert it to AAC with a good encoder and merge it back with the encoded video.
Assuming WMP supports E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus), HandBrake should also let you encode E-AC-3, and while the encoder we provide implements very few of the additional E-AC-3 features (IIRC), it does let you select additional bitrates higher than 640 Kbps, depending on the number of channels in the audio track.
You could also look for another player besides VLC or WMP, though I don't have any recommendation off the top of my head.

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Handbrake does have the audio option of E-AC3 for my discs(PCM 1536kbps), but it's E-AC3 passthru, which I've tested, and doesn't produce any audio. There is no E-AC3 option with a bitrate drop down box. Yes, WMP plays E-AC3 audio in video files.
I just noticed while the Codec drop down box has AAC selected, in the Bitrate drop down box, there is also a 'Quality' selection, with options of 1 to 10. Is this a scale of 1 to 10, with '10' being the best quality? If so, is the '10' quality close to the original PCM 1536 kbps?

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Just did a test of a short clip using AAC quality '10', but I can't tell what kbps it produced, but the file is smaller than my AC3 640 test, so I'm assuming that it's less quality?
Normally, when I display my video/audio info, it will show the audio kbps, but using the AAC quality '10', just shows 'A:Stereo(eng) (aac lc, 48000 Hz, stereo) (default) . Is there a way of telling what the kbps is?

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
I just downloaded the current version 1.2.2...the 'legacy' preset is gone?
Now, there's General, Web, Devices, Matroska, and Production...which one should I use to shrink the original file by about 25-30%(and still have it look almost as good as the original)?

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Super HQ 1080p preset would be a reasonable starting point, given the above encode log.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Yeah, I just tried that, made my test file about the same size as when using version 1.0.3, doing Production Max test now
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Is this for editing? Otherwise you're probably not going to like Production Max. You can get more quality in less size by turning the RF down a few points on Super HQ 1080p than you'll get on Production Max.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
After a few tests with the new version of Handbrake, looks like I'll just stick with the settings I know work for me, and allow me to make the end file size what I want.
Since 'legacy' isn't an option anymore, I'm using SuperHQ 1080p30, and
Encoder Preset:Medium
Tune:none
Profile:High
Level 4.1
Avg Bitrate:13570(this changes depending on the original file size), 2-pass and Turbo first pass checked.
I just tried using AC3 passthrough(from the Blu-Ray's original PCM audio), and it produced 224 kbps audio. When I used the older version 1.0.3 of Handbrake, no audio was produced. I'm trying the other audio codecs options now.

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Just finished trying all the audio codec options...all the 'passthrough' options work, but only produce 224 kbps, unlike the older version 1.0.3, which produced no audio at all. Even with the newest version of Handbrake, it seems the max kbps is 640. Anyone have a way of increasing that? My source file is 1536 kbps.
Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Set the fallback audio encoder bitrate to 640 if you don't want the default 224.
The source bitrate is irrelevant since it's a different codec.

Re: How does one use Handbrake(1.0.3 64bit) to encode passthrough LPCM audio?
Thanks everyone for all the responses, help, advise, and suggestions...looks like I'll have to be satisfied with 640 kbps, as that seems to be the max I can handbrake from my PCM 1536 kbps Blu-rays....oh well....
