Passthru option in Codec gone?

Post by lucapearce »

Description of problem or question:
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.



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):




Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):




HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.

HandBrake shows the passthu options only if the passthu is possible.

In the HB documentation, it is stated that audio passthru is available for True HD audio sources. I have an MKV with an audio file marked:

English (True HD) (7.1 ch)

The track is TrueHD Atmos

HB wants to mixdown (AAC (CoreAudio)) 7.1 channels

I'd like this to be passthru, but cannot seem to set that anywhere. How do I force passthru?

Thanks, Brian

Use MKV output.
