Passthru option in Codec gone?

Post by megaMUERTE »

A few versions ago I noticed that the option passthru from the Audio-Codec menu was gone.

I tend to rip Blu-Ray movies and I don't want the audio to change! want to to be intact when I play the DTS or Dolby audios in my audio system.

Is there anything I missed?

Using latest version, on a mac.

HandBrake has never supported passthrough of uncompressed audio/LPCM.

You might be thinking of the "Auto passthru" option. But it didn't passhtru pcm. It fell back to whatever fallback encoder was selected, so probably AAC. "Auto passthru" is no longer available in the codec popup menu because HandBrake knows what can be passthru and what not.
