This is a great tool to automate the whole process of HD-DVD to BD conversion without any re-encoding. It also makes it easy to use the BD source to create a quick .mkv file using other software.

I am puzzled by one thing, though. My primary playback device is the Oppo BDP-83.
Files I’ve created played back through the 83 are horizontally squeezed. It has no trouble with 99% of .mkv files in my collection, but the BDs/.MKVs created through this process involves VC-1 sources for the most part.

I have not actually burned a BD from one of these conversions to disc yet since the .mkv tests did not go well.

My Oppo BDP-93 does not seem to have trouble with the .MKVs or BD folder structures created in this process, but then, the 93’s media handling is much better. In fact, I believe the DLNA is actually a supported feature whereas with the 83, it is not.

Am I out of luck or is there some point in the process that can be tweaked to satisfy the Oppo 83?

Going from VC-1 to AVC is going to mean re-encoding, right?

There is another test I can do to confirm that the problem is the VC-1 encodes. I know that about 3 or 4 of my HD-DVDs have AVC encodes. I will see what happens with them.
