I've encountered a puzzling issue with some Blue Planet 2 recordings.
-The files are auto decrypted
- They play perfectly on the Hummy
- When downloaded to my PC, the ts files play correctly in Windows Media Player but some (not all) play the musical part of the soundtrack but not the main commentary in VLC Player. The same files crash AVIdemux
- The files affected are episodes 1 and 6. 2-5 play correctly in VLC. 7 is yet to be broadcast.
- Remuxing the files in MKVmerge does not work
So far as I can see, there is a single audio stream containing both the music and the Attenborough commentary, so I don't understand how part of this stream can be missing and not the other part, or why it happens on some files and not others, or on some video players and not others (too many variables). Given that a lot of people object to the music, it might actually be quite nice to be able to separate the two and turn the music down while retaining volume on the voice...
I'm quite keen to keep the Hummy files for the 1080p video as iPlayer downloads only go to 720p. I've salvaged the episodes by remuxing the Hummy video streams with the iPlayer audio, but it's a tedious process.
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?
