Having made a backup (version 1.0.2.6) to folder of Guardians of the Galaxy – Partial (Movie only with DTS-HD and one subtitle), I tested the result on the converting PC, playing the first two to three minutes via PowerDVD. All appeared fine so I used IMG Burn to write a BD-RE disc, which again played without issue on the PC.
However, when playing the disc on a standalone BD player (pre 2012, so no Cinavia influences), during the first minute, at a point when speech first occurs the audio jitters for a few seconds. The audio input display on the AV unit ‘flicks’ during this period suggesting the DTS input is changing/dropping out.
Interesting observation: Playing the partial copy from folder with the CloneBD internal player has no speech but all other background audio. Moving the progress slider to a point further in the film brings the speech in and returning the slider to the beginning the speech is retained. Re-selecting the source and starting the internal player again results in no speech again.
Not sure if there is a connection but on two other recent backups to BD-RE, during play on the standalone BD player, the film suddenly jitters and speeds up then freezes. This is repeatable when playing up to this point, but if the point is skipped by fast forwarding over it and then returning to the same point the film continues to play normally.
I am unable to provide any log files as having thought each of these backups to folder were good.
