One thing I haven’t brought up until now is that the first 3 tracks, that were DTS-HD, are going to be the Dolby Digital versions from Harmy’s AVCHD release. For the seamless branching to work, the BD muxing software needs to mux part of the tracks into one m2ts and part into another, and the software doesn’t play nicely at all with these particular tracks. In fact, only tsmuxergui and multiavchd work well with those tracks in my hands. The extra disc space went into extra video bitrate. Again, an MKV version for anyone who finds this to be a dealbreaker.
Wait, so is it just an issue of the audio format tripping up the seamless branching or are the DTS-HD files also too large to fit on a BD-25 with the higher bitrate video? If I download then MKV with the '81 crawl rather than the ISO with the seamless branching, will I be able to fit it on a disc with the lossless audio? I only acquired a receiver that could handle 5.1 DTS-HD a couple of months ago, it seems like a damn shame to have to revert to DD on what otherwise looks to be my dream release as far as Despecialized goes.
