Extended my trial license to try a few more things out...

In my environment, I have MC15 (just pulled down latest version last night) running on my Win7 PC, I have a library of ripped DVDs in VIDEO_TS folder structures that I am trying to access from my PS3.  I have my media server started and am using the PS3 defaults.

Some of the issues that I am trying to overcome include:

1) Some of my DVD titles have multiple audio tracks for foreign language.  Several of my titles are defaulting to French (Batman Begins, and the first Harry Potter) and I can't seem to find a way to default to English instead.  I did find a few default language settings under video, but they seem to have no affect.  I don't see any alternate audio options from the PS3 side either.

2) Several of my other DVD titles I would like to have in their native/non-English language (i.e: Hero, Crouching Tiger) and display English subtitles.  Can this be done w/out displaying subtitles by default for all titles?

3) I am getting stutter on several DVD titles.  This happens at both low-bandwidth and high-bandwidth transcode settings.  It appears that the stream is being spliced together from two different sources.  For example, I tried watching Star Wars, Episode I, and the opening sequence was stuttering badly.  I noticed, however, that it was constantly switching between English and Spanish text (i.e.: during the big wall of text that starts the Star Wars movies).  Beauty and the Beast seemed to be doing the same thing (stuttering between two different sources)...  What am I doing wrong here?

4) The rest of my DVD titles that I imported when I rebuilt my library are displaying fine.  However, when I add new ripped DVDs to my library (and I have autodetect enabled), the new titles are failing to transcode to my PS3.  My PS3 reports them as being corrupt.  However, I can view the titles from my PC via MC15.  Is this a known issue?  Is it possible that something got screwed up during autodetect, as the movies showed up before the entire ripped DVD folder contents had been completely copied?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered!

Anyone have any suggestions for any of the issues I listed?  On last day of trial and will likely not move forward w/ this if I can't resolve these issues.

Thanks.

Number 3 could be bad rips.  Do they play correctly on the PC?

MC16 has some improvements at DLNA that may affect some of these issues.  If you purchase MC15 now, you will receive an MC16 license that works with either one.

A beta of MC16 should be available this week or next.

They play fine in the MC15.  Again it appeared to be trying to splice together multiple sources together when streaming... and this only occurred for some of the titles (all of which play fine in the player).

May try the MC16 beta out and see if that clears things up...
