Detecting wrong number of audio channels in movie
« on: February 05, 2019, 07:46:58 am »
I recently bought Edward Scissorhand on blu-ray. The main audio track is listed as DTS-HD 4ch. MediaInfo in Windows reports the same number of channels. During playback in MC, the audio is listed as 6ch DTS-HD-MA. Can anyone explain the discrepancy? And since I always use JRSS to remix to 7.1, will this be correctly handled?

From the sound of it, everything is fine. I am on MC24.0.75/Win10.

Video Playback does some magic to ensure audio comes out the right channels, since multi-channel audio in videos can be rather crazy at times, which can explain slight discrepancies between the analyzed channel count, and what playback actually shows. The analyze has the "real" info, while during playback it already does some pre-processing to ensure everything comes out properly in the end.

Ok, thanks  :)
Since dialogue comes from the center speaker and everything else sounds about as expected, "doing its magic" is good enough.
