How long is the aif file?

Are you sure your bluray player and receiver are setup properly?

How are you authoring the bluray? Is it really a blueray or DVD?

Hi, Michael–

Here’s all six tracks. It’s about 300 MB.

It’s being done in Toast from one .avc, and the one .ac3 with matching names. The video is definitely blu-ray, and the .ac3 is the file in question.

I’ve checked all the settings in my blu-ray player, and tested with another surround blu-ray which plays successfully.
