Broke AC3?

[cockpit]

I just tried encoding an ac3file with megui into nt aac. but I get this error:


Log for job job30

Channels=2, BitsPerSample=16, SampleRate=48000Hz
C:\Program Files\megui\tools\neroaacenc\neroaacenc.exe -ignorelength -lc -br 96000 -if - -of "D:\7sa\7sa T01 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY 0ms.mp4"Error:
MeGUI.AviSynthException: m2AudioAC3Source: error in file "D:\7sa\7sa T01 2_0ch 192Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3"
at MeGUI.AviSynthAudioEncoder.encode()


I've never gotten this error before, is there any remedy? it's from the 7 samurai pal dvd.

Try fix the ac3, before reencode, with Ac3fix or DelayCut or BeSplit-BeSliced.

Maybe there are a frame corrupted (if there are more a desync is produced 32 ms/frame).

I tried ac3fix, this was the result:

it was even longer than that.

Seems your ac3 is corrupted.
If the error begin in frame 387325 and you have 387324 correct frames maybe is enough, this is 283 MB and 3:26:34 (my 7 samurai backup is only 3:22:20)

What is the method to obtain this ac3?

[cockpit]

I cant verify if the errors start at 387325 because the window doesnt show anything before that. I guess there is a cache limit on the command prompt.

the method of retrieval is rip with ripit4me and then demux with dgindex
I havent checked the actual length, but box says 201 min

[tebasuna51]

Try with DelayCut (http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/audiotools.htm)
to see where the error begin, but seems very damaged.

Is not habitual in a DVDrip and DGIndex. You can play the ac3?

[cockpit]

ok, ran it thru delaycut. here's log:

and yes I can play it with vlc up until 3:26:26, then it hops back 2:51 or something. but I suppose I could cut off the bad part. it's so late in the movie anyway, probably credits.

yea it's encoding now, so I can only assume it's fine. thanks for the help.
