I used tsMuxer to go directly from the .EVO feature to an .m2ts. It is still squished on the Oppo 83. However, my Sony BDP-S790 is able to play it just fine (it too had trouble with VC-1s in .mkv containers…not that they were squeezed, it would not play them at all). Also surprised to see the Dolby Digital Plus audio recognized.
I will try making a .ts next…
(same here, still squished).
Think I will just have to take a chance on burning a BD to see if that will make a difference. It will be local media instead of involving DLNA, so it might behave differently.
You’ve probably already tried this, but does your Oppo support TS or M2TS files? You could try muxing one of those out of ClownBD and see if it’s interpreted more properly.
