help needed getting Reclock and PowerDVD to work

[pacemaker1000]

hi all/James

i am having trouble with PowerDVD 10

Reclock loads no problem but when i select the required 5.1 from the PowerDVD audio menu i loose sound despite Reclock showing its getting 6ch input
2ch/4ch work and through the AC3 encoding my amp shows DD input

very strange!
can you help?

sorry to bump this but is anyone successfully using PowerDVD with Reclock using the 5.1 audio setting?

Yes! If you have a refresh rate close to the original frame rate you can choose accept bitstream and uncheck disable media speed correction. If the refresh rate is close, you should only get a few sound packet drops or repeats that is not noticable. I have sucessfully configured reclock to play bluerays with dts sound with powerdvd this way! I have a led-tv that supports 23.97hz which is very close to 23.976 fps. It works really great!

but i thought the whole point was to adjust the audio which needs to be analogue.
surely, using bitstream defeats the whole object of Rclock in the first ?

so i am right PDVD dosn't work with analogue 5.1?

I don't think you can talk about just "PowerDVD" you need the exact version and build and whether you are using the normal player or "Cinema"/"MCE" player.

PDVD7 and 8 always worked perfectly with 5.1 PCM audio. I used it for 2 years. I now hear there may be some problems, although possibly different ones, with later versions of PDVD.

There are also some problems with various TMT versions and/or players.

i am using the latest trial version of PDVD and whatever mode it defaults to as i didn't realize there was a choice.

i keep coming back to TMT which seems to work ok apart from the 1 disc i have that wont play
i was trialling PDVD for its supposed excellent up scaling of SD DVD but having tried it(without sound) it appears to be dreadful even with minimum sharpness. really bad artifacts
