v1.06 beta 2
- Fixed a bug in the "Apply These Settings To All Source Files And Save With Original Name" so that it now does just that.
- Made a prompt for destination folder change default when setting the save name for files on each tab.
- Added a check box to disable this prompt on the Paths/Sources tab.
- Temporarily disabled the Mux Eac3to command line into an mkv feature. This suffers from a bug somewhere in the mkv muxing, will track it down tomorrow.
v1.06 beta 1
- Supports all the features of Eac3to 2.36
- Removed DGIndex, DGAVCIndex and H264tsto from the gui.
v1.05 beta 1
Cleaned up a minor bug.
Added VC1Conv to the program. This can now be used to strip the pulldown from video generated by any of the other programs.
Disclaimer: I am not a programmer. I created this because I got tired of writing batch files to do everything I wanted to do. I tend to buy movies several at a time when I find a good deal (and with HD-DVD dead now I should be able to find more good deals on them), and that meant I would set several up to be done overnight while I slept. This little gui evolved from that and I've been working on it off and on since then.
It will not prevent you from setting some settings that should not go together. It won't look and see what should be done and set things right. It will put all of the command options (I think) of eac3to at the tip of your mouse pointer. The mkvmerge options are very limited due to my never using anything other than the basic settings of that program. Should something be missing, left out or buggy, just let me know and I'll see if I can get a fix out pretty quickly.
Edit: Link points to newest version

your gui looks nice....i will test it :)
Thanks. :)
This program is excellent! I'm still getting the hang of it though.
Thank you very much.
Would it be possible for you to add a feature in you GUI that will do FEATURE_1.EVO+FEATURE_2.EVO MOVIE.mkv? This is what I use eac3to for the most. Now I need to specify every track with you tool; which is also nice because I now usually just convert most of the .eac3 tracks to .ac3 in one go where in the past I did that separately and later.
BTW, if you are thinking about adding support for xport and h264tsto you might want to think about adding support for dgavcindex. Just throwing that out there.
:thanks:
I'll look into adding something to do the movie.mkv for you. I probably won't get time to code until this weekend, so it will be soon. I don't use dgavcindex anymore since I don't encode the videos anymore, but since he added command line support it shouldn't be too hard. I'll work on it after h264tsto and xport.
I found a bug in the new GUI. It seems when you navigate through the options using the TAB key as oppose to the mouse the drop down menus get confused.
I can't reproduce that here. Can you talk me through how you did it? :)
What an excellent little GUI (actually it's rather big and detailed)! Took me a while to figure out I had to click "List Tracks From source".
Yeah, a readme is needed. I'll try to throw something together pretty soon.
- Could you add drag and drop support for source files?
- Could you have the output folder button use "Open/Save" dialog box rather than "browse for folder" dialog box? (more convenient)
- There's one other thing I'll ask later on, once something in eac3to is updated.
I read up on drag and drop, it looks doable. I'll try to get it into the next release.
I'm not sure about the "Open/Save" dialog though. The way I have it now I can specify file names but the open/save might tie me to one file. Let me read up on it.
If eac3to supports it, odds are I'll add it in here. There's a lot in it I don't use, but to cover everything (should I change my mind) I tried to include every option it has.
Thumbs up for multiple source file support! I was able to join 6-channel MLP files and convert to single FLAC.
(strangely enough.)
;) ...madshi, I see joining FLACs is also not supported in eac3to yet. I patiently wait.
Multiple sources along with track listing is what drove me to create it.
Thanks everyone.

I can't reproduce that here. Can you talk me through how you did it? :)
So what I did (and it happens every time for me without fail) is select an audio track, use the TAB key to move on to the next input area which is a name, then TAB over to output format and set it using the arrow keys. Then when I select the bitrate I get that crazy drop down that I included in the picture. Once the arrow in the drop down window disappeared on me too. :eek: If I select each area for input separately with the mouse this doesn't happen.
Is that clear enough? If you didn't follow any of it let me know and I will try to elucidate.

Found and fixed in source. It also happens with the save as type combo box. You probably just missed seeing that one. :)

Well that's great, and now that you've mentioned it, there's only one thing I can do with eac3to, that can't be done in your GUI yet. And that is, joining two (or more) stereo MLP files together (why? listen to a gapless album).
N.B. joining of multichannel MLP is not supported yet in eac3to, but if you can just allow joining of MLP in the command line from the GUI (not sure why it wasn't doing it), that'll leave the capability up to eac3to, and not the GUI. I'm sure there's more than one way you could do it in your GUI.
By the way I'm not sure what the track thing means, but as long as it works (joining files) I'm happy that it just works.
--
By the way, how about having ability to convert a bunch of one format to a bunch of another? Like a bunch of MLPs to FLAC (filenames remaining the same)? I'm not sure how much system resources would be taken up by multiple instances of eac3to.exe, but why not try it...that would be a great feature.

Actually, if eac3to will list them, "eac3to file1+file2", then it should work. The track thing was originally set up as all I do is turn my HD content into MKVs to stream across the house from my media server. Unless "eac3to file1+file2" returns an error, it will show up as a track of some kind. But if the output is an error, then no tracks will show up. Although, I'm rewriting the track part so it will enable you to specify a file name without a track number regardless of what eac3to returns. Since I'm aiming at those who are familiar with the command lines, this shouldn't be a problem. This gui is just to make it easier to keep everything in seperate folders and lessen the amount of typing one needs to do.

Have you tried the batch processing? While it only uses one instance at a time, it will let you queue up however many different command lines as you want. Build the command line, go to the batch tab and "add to batch". Rinse and repeat. Once all are added just "run batch" and it will run all of the queued commands. This will maintain any folder changes that happen between the commands.

I've been using this gui and I like it. It's pretty functional.
Couple more bugs.
1.) When I set the output path the final " \ " is neglected in the command like. So if I set the output directory to G:\my movie\ the output would go to the root of the G:\ drive and the name I gave the output would be proceeded by "my movie" without a space. Like this, "G:\my movietrack 1" instead of this, "G:\my movie\track 1".
2.) After using the gui for a while the two sub windows become unavailable. They do not appear when I start the program and they do not appear or respond when called. Erasing and replacing both the .exe and the .ini fixes this. In some cases just erasing the .ini fixes it.
Otherwise all is well.
:thanks:

The link in the first post points to a version which should fix the problems you were having. Let me know if it doesn't.
The next release, should no more bugs be found, will probably be a week to ten days from now. This will be a total rewrite of the code to allow for more flexibility on the part of the user. If you think it's pretty functional now, just wait and see. :)

With the version in the first post the issue remains of the file being placed at the root of the drive with the directory name appended to the beginning of the track name. I haven't used it enough yet to know if the disappearing windows issue is still there.
Keep up the good work Yraen!

What i can see so far :
- .EVO Output extension would be nice
-simple ability to select AudioTracks for rebuilding/remuxing without reencoding
Or am i blind ? How can i use your Gui for simple EVO )or to mkv) Rebuilding/Remuxing with untouched Audio (so far possible with mkv).
I can only set one Audio each Time and without simple remuxing ?
Im a little bit off because ive a lot of Work these Days ,so im little bit confused from newest eac3to Features and how they work in both gui Versions

Thanks. I finally tracked down that folder bug. It was hard because I couldn't get it to reproduce every time. Link in top post has newest version. This will be the last fix release before I release the new version. That one will contain version numbers so that they can be told apart.
More to come in a bit, dinner time. :)

I didn't think this would work, but I tried it to be sure. Eac3to can't/doesn't mux back into an evo container. There's nothing I can do about that.

My gui was orignally built for what I do, convert one audio track and mux it and the video into an mkv container. If you're wanting to keep the original audio without reencoding you'll probably need to use the -demux switch which will demux the first video track and all audio tracks. This will give you untouched audio tracks. Right now, my gui wouldn't really automate getting these tracks out and into an mkv, but the future version will. It's going to be more open ended to allow the user to do what they want, not just select the tracks to convert. I'll try to get a detailed readme in with it when I release it.
Thanks again guys. I should get some coding time over the next two days and knock a lot more of what needs to be written.

iirc eac3to can output evo but only if you do a simple join of 2 or more evo files keeping all the tracks.. it can't remux to evo

I tried it out and it does. I'm not really sure that this is useful, but it can be done in the next version.
While I'm here I'll give a little update on the next version. I've finished the layout of the next gui and have about 90% of the code done. All that is left is tying it all together and making sure it works properly. Here's a link to screenshots of all the tabs in the gui: http://www.flickr.com/photos/20080213@N07/sets/72157604018935012/
Hopefully I'll get it done sometime this week. I was hoping to have it done this weekend but it's not going to happen.
What is supported: Drag and drop for source files. DGAVCDec, DGIndex and MKVMerge all support working with files that Eac3to, H264tsto and Xport generate, along with the source files.
What is left out from the previous version: No more must have track numbers for Eac3to. Now, almost nothing is disabled before you start. This means that the user will need to understand these programs, as this is not, and never was intended to be, a smart gui. It will do what you tell it, whether it is correct or not.
If you see any commands or anything I missed for one of these programs, let me know and I'll try to get it in before I release it.

may U add new option:

eac3to blabla.evo 3: f:\www.wavs 3: g:\www.ac3 2: d:\www.vc1 and etc...
that's mean multi path for output file

sample
eac3to blabla.evo 3: f:\www.wavs 3: g:\www.ac3 2: d:\www.vc1 and etc...

All of that is supported. You can have as many options out on one command line as you want. Here's a quick line I threw together in it to give an example.
"D:\editing apps\eac3to\2.25\eac3to.exe" "H:\HD\CP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_1.EVO"+"H:\HD\CP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_2.EVO" 2: "H:\v\video.mkv" -stripPulldown 2: "H:\v\video.vc1" 3: "H:\v\audio.ac3" -640 3: "H:\v\audio.dts" -1536 3: "H:\v\audio.wavs"
Here's an example using different output folders.
"D:\editing apps\eac3to\2.25\eac3to.exe" "H:\HD\CP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_1.EVO"+"H:\HD\CP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_2.EVO" 2: "H:\v\video.mkv" -stripPulldown 2: "H:\test\video.vc1" -stripPulldown 3: "H:\v\audo.dts" -1536 3: "H:\test\audio.wavs"
I'm trying to keep it as versatile as the command line is. Thanks for the input though.
Here's a question back to you and others. Should I set the " character to be changed according to the user? Since I'm learning this as I go, I don't know what impact that character might have in different languages. I seem to remember somewhere early in the Eac3to thread something about that character causing one user problems.

Yes overhere the " character did cause me some trouble with some of my drives "i ended up as ï .
You're gui seems to work fine b.t.w. but I did change my drive letter so I don't know if the problem is still there.
Better safe .... so leave it to the user .
Great GUI (for a great program) by the way !

Thanks. That " character would probably cause you problems in this gui, since it is used, had you not changed the drive letter. I've written in the delimiter change and all is well. Unless changed, it defaults to ".
Status update: All that is left to write is the batch processing. Everything else is written and is currently testing as I write this. I forsee no problems which probably means a few bugs will get by me. :)
I should have it completed before the weekend. I'll try to get the documentation written before then also. If I don't make it, it won't be out until next week sometime. I'll be tearing this computer down, cleaning and upgrading it this weekend.

Just released the newest version, Eac3to and More GUI 1.02 (http://us.f13.yahoofs.com/bc/43cde1b7ma7e16a70/bc/Eac3to+and+More+GUI/yr_eac3to_more_gui.exe?BCduJ1HB87mPm_a6).
No documentation as of yet. A leaky northbridge waterblock took some hardware with it so I'm still trying to determine what is good and what isn't. I'll try to get the documentation up sometime this week though.
Edit: If you got v1.01 it has some debugging code left in it. Get the newest version.

10th March 2008, 03:23
Let me get through this round and make sure there aren't any bugs and I'll see what I can add for you.
Edit: Major bug found. This is what I get for trying to get it out when I've had a hard drive failure. This should be the last quick fix. Sorry guys.

Sorry guys. I don't know what got into Yahoo, but the link in the first post should be active now. Unfortunately, you're going to my briefcase and not a direct file link. I checked the direct file link, and everything worked yesterday. I also checked the address today, and it was correct. Maybe Yahoo stopped direct linking from working, who knows.
frenchglen,
Drag and drop works once more in the code. It will be back in v1.04. For now, drag and drop should work on the source list also.

thanks yraen, will try out. been busy of late!
I get that batch thing now, seems convenient. I guess what I've been trying to achieve is just dragging a bunch of MLP files (to convert to flac) and have them automatically batch-processed, in the same folder and all with automatic filename creation. in other words something as convenient as dbpoweramp.
but that probably is much more complicated and time-consuming (I think, anyway...)
I thought about this today, and it seemed pretty simple. Here's what I currently have testing now. Add a lot of source files, go to Eac3to Audio tab, select options, select save as type, check the box that reads "Apply These Settings To All Source Files And Save With Original Name". This will convert all source files to the save as type, in the same folder as the source, keeping the original name. The copy log option works with naming the log "filename_log.txt" and the delete alternate source option works if you want to delete the source files afterwards.
Does this sound okay?
Thanks everyone. Let me know of any bugs or any features you might want in it.

When i use the 'Eac3to and More GUI' program for muxing video (h264) and audio (5.1 Flac) in to a MKV file, I have a problem with the video stream being tagged as 25fps in stead of 24fps....
Am I missing a setting or am I just being a bit stupid :rolleyes:
Yraen
10th March 2008, 23:20
Does the same happen if you manually do it? All the gui does is make it easier to pass the command line arguments to the programs. It doesn't do the actual muxing or anything.
Denner
10th March 2008, 23:43
If I use MKVmerge GUI, I can force it to tag the video as 24fps and then I plays back as 24fps.
I was just wondering if I was missing this option under the MKV section in your GUI ?
Yraen
11th March 2008, 02:51
It can be forced with MKVmerge, but I know madshi has been working on getting the framerate perfect in eac3to. I didn't include the framerate as I've never had eac3to provide the wrong framerate. I'll add it into v1.04 though.
Edit: Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any options for adding fps in mkvmerge. I also loaded up a video in the gui and it wouldn't let me add/change the fps. Am I blind?
Denner
11th March 2008, 07:29
You have to load the video + audio, and then mark the video under the 'TRACKS' option.
Then the option will be available under the 'FORMAT SPECIFIC OPTIONS' tab.
I can do a screen dump later, if you need it / can't find the option ?

Thanks for sending what must be 1.04 yraen. It's really starting to look excellent for what I'm looking to do.
Yeah, it all looks a little inelegant but what do I care, it's quick once I know the steps (of which there aren't many)! Don't know if I'm doing it right but I have to add the command line to batch listing and then run the batch, running command line doesn't seem to do it on its own.
You know if you want you could make this into a really nice GUI app one day, just like dbpoweramp, but free. By that, I mean something where it all looks nice, does failsafe settings for you and any dummy can use it. Shell context menu would be pretty amazing! I thought this request was complicated...but not so!
Thanks for adding that, and I look forward to this improving and streamlining as time goes on.

hi,
i've demuxed some audio stream from .evo hddvd to .mpv.
from my pc I can't define exactly which kind of stream are them, because these single files results unplayable...however, from the box of my hddvd, i see they are DDP audio. eng of 1.5mbit and the others of 768k...
...tried with some different programs -as belight-, but the audio are not correctly readable....so i'm not able to convert it...
not readable by ffdshow...also tried to compose a graph by graphedit but with any success...
can anybody help me please?

Thanks for adding that, and I look forward to this improving and streamlining as time goes on.
I've cleaned up the interface a little, too bad I'm lousy at visual designs. :)
I'm chasing a bug I introduced sometime during the 1.04 build. I'm wondering if I introduced it before I sent you that beta since when I tested I did both, command line and batch, and both worked. I'll get it sorted shortly. 1.04 and documentation will arrive together.
hi,
i've demuxed some audio stream from .evo hddvd to .mpv.
from my pc I can't define exactly which kind of stream are them, because these single files results unplayable...however, from the box of my hddvd, i see they are DDP audio. eng of 1.5mbit and the others of 768k...
...tried with some different programs -as belight-, but the audio are not correctly readable....so i'm not able to convert it...
not readable by ffdshow...also tried to compose a graph by graphedit but with any success...
can anybody help me please?
thanks,
ciao!
Your best bet would be to demux the audio you want straight from the evo and not with another program as an mpa file (I assume you meant mpa as mpv is video). Load the evo(s) in the gui and click the button on the bottom labeled "List Tracks (Eac3to)". This will list all the audio and video tracks in the evo(s). Then just go to the audio tab, set the track and options you want to demux, lock it, add more tracks until you have all you want. Then run command line. That should get everything you want.

thanks for your answer Yaren. You exactly understood everything.
yes, you're right evodemux extract the audio in .mpa files. (...mpv for video).
i confirm you that getting audio stream directly from evo container i can read them and convert as in ac3 as in AAC (i used succesfully ffmpeg by command line).
what it sounds me strange is: what is the real utility of evodeumx? only to rebuild an hddvd? beacuse the demux, at the end, is unuseful: i decided to use it beacuse my hddvd has two big .evo for the main film (13+10gb) - 6 audio stream and 1 video stream -
So evodemux extracts them whitout any cut.
BUT the single mpv and mpa are hardly maneagable. in fact, to read the vc-1 i'm not able to 'graph' the mpv. so i had to graph the 2 .evo (but by avisynth i can 'sum' them in unique video so not problem).
on the other hand, about audio, i don't know how to say to ffmpeg to join together the audio part of evo1 and the audio part of evo2 of each single audio...
i hope to had explained myself...
thank you!

To join the evos, place both in the sources in the gui. Just make sure to place them in numerical order. Eac3to doesn't need them joined, it can do it with the command line arguments... eac3to input1.evo+input2.evo gives you a list of what is in the evos. Look at the command lines a few posts back for some examples of extracting specific tracks with eac3to.
All I use evodemux for is to extract the chapter files so I can put chapters into my mkvs. It is a good tool, and would probably be farther along in features/development but I think the author is away on a long sabbatical or vacation, not sure which really. Now, if that was command line driven also, I would really be happy. :)

15th March 2008, 17:25
mmmm...i think that one problem is that eac3to works with nero audio decoder from nero 7, and i have nero 8 installed...(instead of installing nero 7, is there any other workaround?).

You know that EVODemux is the front end for a command line tool developed by drmpeg (I think). I was going to suggest you incorporate it so we could use your tool to get chapter files and subtitles. Another thing you might want to think about is if you do incorporate subtitle demuxing being able to convert them to VobSub format on the fly would be real nice. Subtitle Creator does this but I don't know if it has a CLI.
Nice work on your tool. It's really shaping up and becoming more powerful and easier to use.

You can force libav instead and see how that goes. I know eac3to won't work with nero 8 though.

Now that you mention it (about evodemux) I remember reading that. I glanced around a bit but couldn't find anything. I'll dig deeper when I have more time. Automatic chapter generation would be nice. A tool for getting chapter information from BD would be nice too. :)
Thanks guys.

hi everyone,
1.can someone explain me how to convert an .eac3 to an ac3 file => I riped Transformers and would like to have ac3 sound that works with my TviX6500 (I don't have DD+ amplifier).
2.Is it possible to transcode an eac3 1536kbits/s file into a DTS file?

Slight bug fix to xport renaming of files. Link to 1.04 Beta 3 (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.view=l)

2.Is it possible to transcode an eac3 1536kbits/s file into a DTS file?

Many thx.
1. Add the eac3 file in as source, go to eac3to audio tab, set a file name to save as, ac3 extension and any other options you might want, run command line.
2. It can be done, but the Surcode encoder is expensive, very expensive.
This gui is best used if you have some understanding of how the individual programs work. These are some powerful programs if you spend the time to learn the ins and outs of them. Using these programs and this gui I set a BD disc up to demux the audio and video, run them through eac3to and merge them with mkvmerge. This ran through 3 programs, generating 5 files but at the end I had just 1 file, the merged mkv. I'll go over the steps that I did this with.
1. Load the mt2s as source file on the paths/sources tab.
2. Set xport up to demux the audio and video tracks I wanted. Add to batch.
3. Load the audio track in the eac3to audio tab using the alternate source combo. Apply all of the settings I wanted, the file name and extension. Checked the delete alternate source box since I have no use for the xport audio once it is ran through eac3to. Add to batch.
4. Did the eac3to video tab the same as the audio, add to batch.
5. Load the global options and eac3to audio from input file drop down in mkvmerge tab, lock to command line. Add eac3to video from input file, lock to command line.
6 Batch processing tab, click run batch.
7. Come back later, only file in output folder is muxed mkv. Go to living room and stream across network from file server to htpc.

Don't know if it is my computer (running Windows Vista), but when I use Xport, and make it save a log file, it crashes or rather stop working.....
It gives me an 'out of memory' error after hanging on the Xport command line window.
I have no problems if I use Xport and don't output a logfile.
Program keeps getting better and better:thanks:
Yraen
19th March 2008, 21:39
It's probably because the entire log is kept in memory until xport is finished. I'm on Vista, 2GB of ram and have no trouble capturing the log. Are you running less ram?
Thanks for the compliment.

At that point EVODemux was becoming mature, so I stopped development. However, for basic demuxing, the code still works fine. Reading .xpl files were never a feature of evob_demux, just demuxing of the MPEG-2 PS.

I didn't think it was in there. I've looked over several .xpl files and they are simple enough to read. They just seem to have several formats for chapters that can be used. I think I can get a chapter list from them regardless of which format they use.

If you want and it's not too much trouble. Your code would be more elegant than mine, I'm sure. I did finished the code last night right after posting here though. I left it running several tests to deal with the two formats I found, and both worked. If you don't want to mess with it I'll just add this in, if you do I'll wait and use the Eac3to option when it comes out.
I went with the simple chapter format. It just seemed easier to me to program in.
Here's what mkvmerge says about chapters.
Chapter handling: (global options)
−−chapter−language <language>
Sets the ISO639-2 language code that is written for each chapter entry. Applies only to simple chapter files. Defaults to "eng". See the section about chapters below for details.
−−chapter−charset <charset>
Sets the charset that is used for the conversion to UTF-8 for simple chapter files. Defaults to the current system locale. This switch does also apply to chapters that are copied from an Ogg/OGM file. See the section about chapters below for details.
−−cue−chapter−name−format <format>
mkvmerge supports reading CUE sheets for audio files as the input for chapters. CUE sheets usually contain the entries PERFORMER and TITLE for each index entry. mkvmerge uses these two strings in order to construct the chapter name. With this option the format used for this name can be set. The following meta characters are supported:
%p is replaced by the current entry’s PERFORMER string,
%t is replaced by the current entry’s TITLE string,
%n is replaced by the current track number and
%N is replaced by the current track number padded with a leading zero if it is < 10.
Everything else is copied as-is.
If this option is not given then mkvmerge defaults to the format ’%p - %t’ (the performer, followed by a space, a dash, another space and the title).
−−chapters <file>
Read chapter information from the file. See the section about chapters below for details.
And
The Matroska chapter system is more powerful than the old known system used by OGMs. The full specs can be found at <http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/chapters/index.html>
mkvmerge supports two kinds of chapter files as its input. The first format, called ’simple chapter format’, is the same format that the OGM tools expect. The second format is a XML based chapter format which supports all of Matroska’s chapter functionality.
The simple chapter format
It looks basically like this:
CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER01NAME=Intro
CHAPTER02=00:02:30.000
CHAPTER02NAME=Baby prepares to rock
CHAPTER03=00:02:42.300
CHAPTER03NAME=Baby rocks the house
mkvmerge will transform every pair or lines (CHAPTERxx and CHAPTERxxNAME) into one Matroska ChapterAtom. It does not set any ChapterTrackNumber which means that the chapters all apply to all tracks in the file.
The charset used in the file is assumed to be the same charset that the current system’s locale returns. If this is not the case then the switch −−chapter−charset should be used. If the file contains a valid BOM (byte order marker) then all UTF styles are converted automatically. In this case −−chapter−charset is simply ignored. You can use mkvinfo or mkvextract to verify that the chapter names have been converted properly.
The XML based chapter format
The XML based chapter format looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE Chapters SYSTEM "matroskachapters.dtd">
<Chapters>
<EditionEntry>
<ChapterAtom>
<ChapterTimeStart>00:00:30.000</ChapterTimeStart>
<ChapterTimeEnd>00:01:20.000</ChapterTimeEnd>
<ChapterDisplay>
<ChapterString>A short chapter</ChapterString>
<ChapterLanguage>eng</ChapterLanguage>
</ChapterDisplay>
<ChapterAtom>
<ChapterTimeStart>00:00:46.000</ChapterTimeStart>
<ChapterTimeEnd>00:01:10.000</ChapterTimeEnd>
<ChapterDisplay>
<ChapterString>A part of that short chapter</ChapterString>
<ChapterLanguage>eng</ChapterLanguage>
</ChapterDisplay>
</ChapterAtom>
</ChapterAtom>
</EditionEntry>
</Chapters>
With this format three things are possible that are not possible with the simple chapter format: 1) The timestamp for the end of the chapter can be set, 2) chapters can be nested, 3) the language and country can be set.
The mkvtoolnix distribution contains some sample files in the doc subdirectory which can be used as a basis.
General notes
When splitting files mkvmerge will correctly adjust the chapters as well. This means that each file only includes the chapter entries that apply to it, and that the timecodes will be offset to match the new timecodes of each output file.
mkvmerge is able to copy chapters from Matroska source files unless this is explicitly disabled with the −−no−chapters option. At the moment mkvmerge is limited to one ’bunch of chapters’ globally. This means that only the first chapter section found in all source files is used. If the user specified chapters on the command line then these take precedence over any chapters found in source files. mkvmerge does not merge chapters. This must be done manually by using mkvextract to extract the chapter information and editing the resulting files.
One shortcoming is that mkvmerge cannot parse chapter information found in OGM files.
One thing to note is that the .xpl files denote the time as 00:00:00:00 and not 00:00:00.000, but that is a simple fix. Another is that there are usually more than one <ChapterList> areas in the .xpl files.
Here's what the two formats I found look like:
<Chapter displayName="Chapter 1" titleTimeBegin="00:00:00:00"/>
<Chapter displayName="Chapter 2" titleTimeBegin="00:02:24:10"/>
<Chapter displayName="Chapter 3" titleTimeBegin="00:09:07:20"/>
<Chapter titleTimeBegin="00:00:00:00"/>
<Chapter titleTimeBegin="00:01:11:10"/>
<Chapter titleTimeBegin="00:03:54:00"/>
BTW, Thanks again for a great program. I do enjoy using it and I did enjoy it driving me to create this gui.

the easiest chapter type is the ogg type, very easy to implement and use in mkvmerge
like this
CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000
CHAPTER01NAME=Chapter 1
CHAPTER02=00:03:17.760
CHAPTER02NAME=Chapter 2
CHAPTER03=00:06:19.920
CHAPTER03NAME=Chapter 3
CHAPTER04=00:09:19.200
CHAPTER04NAME=Chapter 4
CHAPTER05=00:11:29.360
CHAPTER05NAME=Chapter 5
CHAPTER06=00:16:06.680

Thanks, I'll add this, should be easy to do since I'm already reading the chapter information in, anyway. Just need to add the output. @Yraen, there could also be a "description" field in addition to (or instead of) the "displayName" field. Also it's possible (I think) that the "titleTimeBegin" field comes first and the "displayName" field second. Anyway, eac3to already takes care of all that.

My collection is small still, about 20 HD-DVDs and 10 BD. It is growing slowly though. Those were the only two types of chapters I came across. I'm sure there are other details they could have included in the line, and had the format kept going we would have seen many more possibilities.
The good news is if someone finds a .xpl that is strange to you, it's a small download to look at. :)

I'm going to limit the programs to Eac3to, Mkvmerge and Vc1conv unless there is someone out there who would like some of the other programs supported. If there is anything you want to be included into this, let me know now so I can get it in.
I'll leave the 1.5 up and consider it end of life for that version. All changes starting with 1.6 will be based on the new format.

Yraen, your little proggie is quite nice! Thanks for the good work.
I would ask that Xport be included still since it is the standard for demuxing at this point. Np if you feel the need to remove. thanks again
Also, is there a way to add more options to mkvmerge at this point? Specifically, is there a way to mux an external audio track with the eac3gui'd video mkv? Thanks

It is still the standard and congrats to drmpeg/Ron for that. But xport is not that easy to use and it's rather slow if you want to demux more than one audio track because you then have to run it multiple times. Because of these reasons I think eac3to will sooner or later take xport's place (sorry, Ron!). So IMHO it makes sense for Yraen to drop xport support in his new GUI. Of course that's only my selfish opinion. What do the others say? :)

Hi Yraen!
If I add multiple audio sources (like 3 dts files) in the first tab, it should be possible to choose them seperately under "alternate input file" for subsequent batch processsing, right?

Leaving Xport in is no problem. That's why I'm asking here. I know my personal usage will drop down to Eac3to, Vc1conv and Mkvmerge. But I am not the only one using this gui, so I ask what others want.
You can add anything to basically any of the programs. Once you've got your Eac3to line added to the batch queue, clear your sources and add the external audio you want. This will cause it to appear on the alternate input files for Mkvmerge.
I'll be adding subs to Mkvmerge in 1.06 also. That was already in the works, so the code is mostly done now. Is there anything else besides that you (or anyone) can think of that needs to be added to Mkvmerge?
It is still the standard and congrats to drmpeg/Ron for that. But xport is not that easy to use and it's rather slow if you want to demux more than one audio track because you then have to run it multiple times.

I agree. I remember how you tackled the HD-DVD problems and knocked them out about as fast as they popped up. I've no doubt that anything that pops up here will be handled the same.

Since this gui was built around Eac3to, it believes that the source files are for Eac3to. I should have clarified that in the documentation, I'm sorry. Just add them as a source one at a time, build your Eac3to command line and either run it or add it to the batch queue. Or, if you want to keep them all with the original name, just changing the type (extension), add them all as source files, make the changes on the Eac3to audio tab you want, change the Save As Type to what you want, leave the File Name empty and check the box "Apply These Settings To All Source Files And Save With Original Name". This will cause Eac3to to run through the source files one at a time with all the options that you wanted for each file.
Xport will stay in for now, until everyone is comfortable with the demuxing done by Eac3to. It will be easy to remove it at a later time.
As for 1.05 and if it works. It actually works quite well still. It does everything that madshi has added to Eac3to except for HD-DVD folder processing. You can load an .m2ts file, list tracks and select them in the Eac3to audio/video tabs. I ran a quick test and it had no problems selecting the right tracks.

Yep. Furthermore, eac3to was already used for handling raw Blu-Ray streams for months. Many of the fixes I've done for HD DVD stuff also apply to Blu-Ray. So the only new thing is really the pure demuxing code itself, which is a rather small thing compared to many other things eac3to is doing. So I don't expect major problems. And when problems occur, they should be easy to fix. The only thing needed right now is a lot of testing... :)

Hi Yraen! Tried your 1.06 beta. Really starting to look great, I love it. My bug to report, is that, lol, the thing I actually do with the GUI, which is to convert a bunch of MLPs to FLAC, is not working.
eac3to (2.36 I was using) shows a funny error saying MLP, 2.0 channels, 24 bits, 192khz
This audio conversion is not supported.
Was about to write an embarrassing post on madshi's thread!...can't tell what it is, not sure how to see the command line with this feature. 1.04 beta works fine...never DL'd 1.05.
+ Just meaningless GUI improvements...(well that's what this is, after all, at least for all I do):
- I like to ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab between tabs.
- When you add source files, which are usually all from one folder, for the GUI to make the folder they're contained in the destination folder straight away. Then the user can change if they want different, which is no more inconvenient than if the GUI simply didn't suggest a destination folder in the first place.

I whole heartedly agree with this, or something like it. Using the GUI has made me a little brainless from time to time and I have now over written my files for the previous movie I was working on twice now. No one to blame but myself. I was thinking about making a similar request.

I wasn't sure if I broke the specials requests or not, it seems I did. From testing myself on other items, you tend to see something along that line if the file name is incorrect. You can set up a single file to be converted and see if that one errors out, and a single file will show the correct command line if you specify a name to save it as. But it's most likely in the gui.
Edit: The bug is here, should have it fixed shortly.

I don't think I can alter the ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab actions but I'll look. This might be something that is hard wired in AutoIt, and if so I'm helpless.
For the source and destination, for what you do the destination isn't even needed (once fixed that is). When it's working right it doesn't even look at the output folder.

I guess it's just me so I'll change it. I tend to set my final output on the media server in my house, and rarely forget that. And with the way the new gui selects the source files for eac3to, I tend to set up many sources from many places when I use it. I'll set it to have a default setting of changing the output folder to the source folder, but put in a checkbox that will override that feature (for myself :) ). I'll try to get that in this release, but if not in the next one.

1.06 beta 2 is up. Link (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/)
Changelog:
v1.06 beta 2
- Fixed a bug in the "Apply These Settings To All Source Files And Save With Original Name" so that it now does just that.
- Made a prompt for destination folder change default when setting the save name for files on each tab.
- Added a check box to disable this prompt on the Paths/Sources tab.
- Temporarily disabled the Mux Eac3to command line into an mkv feature. This suffers from a bug somewhere in the mkv muxing, will track it down tomorrow.

Oh, and for all of us. Sometimes I might want to send the destination files somewhere else, but not usually.
Thanks for accommodating everyone. It's nice to see someone make a program/gui and make changes directly from their requests/complaining! Much more personal.
This forum is where stuff happens!
Now, it's weird, the beta 2 doesn't seem to actually invoke eac3to...not with what I'm doing...single or multiple files...
Yraen
3rd April 2008, 00:59
That was a weird bug. It worked fine when I ran the scripts, but once compiled it acted up. I'm not sure of the reason as the proper command line was getting passed. It seemed tied into the fact that I set the destination folder as the "working folder" so that xport would demux the files to another place than either the xport folder or the source folder. I know it worked fine in earlier versions too. For now, until I can find out why, eac3to doesn't use (nor really needed) a "working folder".
1.06 beta 3 fixes this. Link (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/)
Changelog:
v1.06 beta 3
- just fixed the bug frenchglen found when using "Apply These Settings To All Sources..."
I've no problem making the program help when it can. Once madshi locks BD down the way he's locked HD-DVD down, I'm thinking about setting up some "default" settings to convert the file with. You'll be able to specify the settings that are applied and just load your sources drive/folder, click a button and it starts converting all folders in that drive/folder. :)

Hi, will you incorporate all the new features of eac3to in to your GUI Yraen and if so, when can we expect an update ?
I am so much hoping that it will happen :-)
Yraen
8th April 2008, 11:01
The changes are coming, the code is already in the works. I don't know if it will be finished before I have to leave town on business though. For now, don't use folders to look at HD-DVDS as the chapters and subtitles throw off the tracks. Use the evo files instead.
If it's not up by tomorrow, it probably won't be up until some time next week.

On the eac3to tabs, there is a drop down box in the top right hand corner to select the input. Once this is selected, the title and stream drop downs will be populated.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been under the weather and am just now feeling up to sitting at the computer for any extended periods of time. I do almost have the newest version finished, which will support both chapter and subtitle demuxing/muxing into mkvs. I've just got a few more lines of code to write, and some testing to do. It will be up this week for sure.

Yraen.
Thanks for a great tool.
I have a few questions if you could answer. I read your documentation and somewhat little confused.
With eac3to, you can remux to video directly. But in your documentation, you are demux to VC1, then use vc1conv to convert to another VC1 format, and eac3to again to mkv format.
What's the reason behind this?
Yraen
29th April 2008, 04:26
Sorry for the delay in replying. Still fighting that bug. I've got the code now running tests (ratatouille) and should have the file up later tonight or early in the morning. Hopefully sometime tomorrow afternoon I'll get the chance to record some videos of using the gui. I'll see how well a video documentation will work, maybe save myself some typing. :)
tosehee,
Somewhere in the eac3to thread madshi mentioned that the newest version of vc1conv did a better job of stripping the pulldown than -stripPulldown in eac3to, and he disabled it in eac3to for a version or two. In the documentation I was showing how this could be done. If you don't want to strip the pulldown or are happy with eac3to's then you don't have to.

1.07 beta 1 is up.
Eac3to and More GUI latest version and documentation (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/)
Changelog:
v1.07 beta 1
- support for reading titlesets from eac3to
- support for demuxing chapter files from eac3to
- support for demuxing subtitles from eac3to
- currently disabled logging eac3to (not really needed anymore anyway)
Not 100% tested, but did mux a couple of movies in batch mode with it. Documentation to follow soon.
Things to note: I changed the wording and the way the destination/souce checkbox on the first tab works. It should read and be more user friendly now.
In eac3to, load up your source folders to see the titleset, choose a titleset to see the track listing. Support for demuxing chapter and subtitle tracks is in. Chapters demuxed can be used in mkvmerge to add to the final mkv.

The new GUI is working quite well for me. Thanks greatly yraen.
One glitch so far though. When specifying a name for the chapter file you need to manually enter .txt at the end of the name. Not sure if this was intended but I assumed that it wasn't since the GUI takes care of the extensions for all other file types. I guess the difference here is that there is only one extension that would be used for chapters and with the other file types the extension that you enter will determine what processing takes place.
I'm thinking on the next release, when you choose the track for chapters to auto-fill "chapters.txt" in there, and let the user change it if required.
I will add in a check to see if the file ends in .txt though. I'm getting tired of typing it too. :)

Wasn't there an option before to run the process over again if audio gapes were detected? I think that would also be a useful one to have there in case you start the process and then have to go to bed or something like that. Especially considering that this tool has a pretty functional job queue.
I took out the option to check for gaps files awhile back. Eac3to was doing such a good job there really wasn't a need for it. There is now though. I've got the code back in and some tests queued up. If all goes well I'll have it up tomorrow with the gaps check back in.

Eac3to and More GUI v1.07 beta 3 (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/)
Changelog:
v1.07 beta 3
- enabled default chapter file name, "chapters.txt", when chapters track is chosen on eac3to video tab
- added check to add ".txt" to chapter file name if name changed and extension left off
- enabled "Mux Eac3to Command Line Into Movie.mkv". This also has the option of running the video through vc1conv.
Three things to remember about "Mux Eac3to Command Line Into Movie.mkv":
1. Don't use Movie.mkv as the name you put into eac3to.
2. If using "Run Through VC1Conv During Process" choose vc1 as the save type on the eac3to tab.
3. All created files except generated log and movie.mkv are recycled when done.
Enjoy.

Changelog:

Changelog:
v1.07 beta 5
- fixed minor bug in -ignoreEncrypt
This will probably not affect anyone, but the ignore encryption box on the eac3to audio tab had a slight bug. No need to update if you never use it.
Eac3to and More GUI 1.08 beta 2 (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/)
Changelog:
v 1.08 beta 2
- fixed bug in gui where video track number was not loaded to the command line when called by preferences
v1.08 beta 1
-added preferences tab for some default settings for eac3to
To enable the preferences you desire, on the preferences tab click the box on the upper right "Use Preferences".
The audio source stream type drop downs numbered 1-7 are the types of files you prefer, in the order 1-7. The gui will look to match tracks in the files/folder with the track order you give it here. Language is also figured in unless left at <none>. Those are the only two that tracks are sorted by.
Video tracks are currently loaded on a first track seen basis. If this proves to be a problem in the future (more movies with the 480p track first), I'll add in code to search for the highest resolution video.
Known bug: When clearing the unlocked settings with preferences enabled on both the audio and video tabs, the preferences are loaded again.

I'm currently uploading some videos here in my briefcase (http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/yraen@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/Eac3to+and+More+GUI&.order=&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//briefcase.yahoo.com/), hopefully yahoo won't complain about the size of a couple of them. They are:
eac3to.wmv - This shows loading eac3to up and putting the command line into the batch queue.
eac3to_vc1_to_eac3to_to_mkvmerge.wmv - This shows setting up eac3to, running the video through vc1conv, through eac3to to mux into mkv, and finally into an mkv with the audio in mkvmerge.
mkvmerge.wmv - This shows setting up a mux in with mkvmerge using the command line created with the eac3to.wmv.
preferences.wmv - This shows setting up the preferences and enabling them.
setup.wmv - This shows setting up all of your paths and output folder.
sources.wmv - This shows loading up the sources for processing with eac3to. It shows loading of files and folders, with files being a single m2ts and also a pair of evos that will be joined by eac3to.
I apologize for the lack of sound. I just found out that my microphone jack died sometime in the past. Either that or my microphone is dead.
Suggested order of viewing if you're new to this gui is:
setup.wmv
preferences.wmv
sources.wmv
eac3to.wmv
mkvmerge.wmv
eac3to_vc1conv_eac3to_mkv.wmv

1. You've got the eac3to path here.
2. Change the character (delimiter) that is wrapped around paths in windows. An easy way to find out what character is used for your windows is to right-click on a shortcut, choose properties and look at the target box. Mine for firefox reads:
"D:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
so the " is the character I would want to use for a delimiter.

Was it the delimiter not working well with your windows? Or something else? I ask so that if someone else has the problem they can see here what fixed it for you.
Demuxing and muxing aren't cpu intensive, they are more hard drive speed intensive.

Same here. I think the problem he had was something in the regional windows that didn't play nice with the delimiter, causing it to hang on the command line when it was trying to start eac3to.

It's looking good Yraen. Nice job on the gui.
Two comments: I think the idea you spoke of with naming chapters that don't have names is good (at least as an option). Also I think that the option to reprocess if a gaps file is detected should be on by default and there should be an option to disable it. I don't know why madshi hasn't made that a standard feature of eac3to anyway. Is there any reason at all why you wouldn't want to reprocess it? :confused:
Yraen
17th May 2008, 00:48
Thanks. Aside from a couple of minor things left to do, I'm not sure what to do next in it (not counting keeping up to date with eac3to).
About the gaps file, I actually found a clip that suffered when ran using the gaps file, post about it here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1137147#post1137147). I'm not sure how old that clip is, nor if they will change the recording format any once that PVR ships.
You can set the gaps to be ran again by default in the gui, just go to the preferences tab, enable preferences and check the box there. It will be enabled every time you run an eac3to command then. :)
I'm thinking about a box the user could type in what they want the chapters named, but due to my singular language skills, the numerals would probably have to be 1, 2, 3, etc. I'd have it default to "Chapter". I'll post in the eac3to thread and see if madshi wants me to go ahead with it, or he wants to include it in eac3to.

There are still some little bugs. For instance I need to trash the ..ini for the gui from time to time because the track listing window will not appear. Also the gui will acquire black blocks on the text in various places when there is a window over it which is then minimized. Neither are much of a problem.

If you're open to suggestions....I think the only feature of eac3to not covered by the GUI is stdout. How about an option to pipe the output from eac3to into another encoder, eg. Nero AAC encoder. The location of the Nero executable could be included on the input tab, and there could be an extra tab for the stdout options. This could include all the nero options (vbr quality, const bitrate, HE, LC etc), and new output options could be added to this tab as desired.
We wouldn't want you getting bored now would we. :)

I can't duplicate the track listing bug. I've never had it not appear for me. Clicking the "Show Track Listing" button on either of the eac3to tabs doesn't bring it back? If not, next time it happens could you send me the .ini?
I know about the black blocks. Unfortunately, that was a bug introduced in AutoIt recently, the scripting language/tools I use. Until they fix it, we're stuck with it. It does disappear on moving the mouse over it for me though.
If you're open to suggestions....I think the only feature of eac3to not covered by the GUI is stdout. How about an option to pipe the output from eac3to into another encoder, eg. Nero AAC encoder. The location of the Nero executable could be included on the input tab, and there could be an extra tab for the stdout options. This could include all the nero options (vbr quality, const bitrate, HE, LC etc), and new output options could be added to this tab as desired.
That might be a big can of worms. :)
Let me think on it, see what would be the best way to cover it. At the very least I'll get you a input box to type everything in. I'm thinking maybe a pop-up window with the stdout options. If it grows beyond just one, nero, then I would probably move it to it's own tab.

Changelog:
v 1.08 beta 4
- added naming of blank chapter names in chapter files created with eac3to.
This is configurable to the text you want, defaults to "Chapter".
This is also on the preferences tab, to be enabled by default if you wish (only if a chapters file is being created by eac3to).
This will not overwrite names for the chapters if they exist.
OK. Thanks for considering it. I don't want to create loads of work for you though.

I've finally got the code where I want it, so adding something in for an existing program is almost as simple as dropping it into the middle. Right now I'm leery of adding another tab as with 1.09 (almost completed) I'm adding another program into the mix. I'm just waiting to hear back from the author on whether or not it is okay to include it in the gui.

This could include all the nero options (vbr quality, const bitrate, HE, LC etc), and new output options could be added to this tab as desired.
I've got a question for you and others. Would I be able to do something like:
eac3to "input\folder" 1) 3: "stdout.ac3" | "path\to\nero" options "path\to\output.aac" 4: "path\to\audio.ac3"
Or would I be limited to just doing the stdout on the line? I'll read up on the usage for nero, I just need to know whether or not to limit it to one per command or I can do multiple. Also, can I use eac3to parameters between the "stdout.ac3" and the "|"? I'm trying to figure out if it needs its own audio/video selection controls or I can work with the current output from the eac3to audio/video tabs.

An example command line that I found is:
eac3to input.data stdout.wav|neroaacenc -q 0.35 -ignorelength -if - -of test.mp4
I think stdout needs to be wav for input into neroaacenc.
As far as I know, eac3to can only use one instance of a filter, so doing multiple audio conversions simultaneously may not be possible.
I'm afraid I'm at work all this weekend (2 x 12hr shifts) so I am unable to test the various options.

Hi,
In another topic a user suggested: "If you did DTS encoding with "surcode" then I suggest you to pass result through "eac3to". This will reduce 768kbps DTS files size nearly twice. (just "eac3to input.dts output.dts")".
I did use SureCode, but would Eac3to indeed reduce the size of the file nearly twice? If so, does this also reduce the sound quality at the same time?
One of my test encodes is 21:30 long at 237MB so if I could reduce size and retain the same quality, I'm interested.
Tried "EAC3toGUI", but it doesn't seem to produce any file after I use convert .dts to .dts file.
Thanks

I've read through the nero documentation, and it should be pretty simple to implement. Nero says it supports pcm and wav, so I'll offer both of those options on the stdout tab. I'll also give multiple outputs a shot. It would be nice to do the video at the same time you're sending the audio out. :)

I don't know if it would or not, but giving it a try couldn't hurt. I don't have surcode, so I am unable to test it. I'd convert it, send it through the receiver and see if you can hear any difference in the two clips. For myself, I use flac for my encodes.

Did you name the output file different from the input file? If memory serves, that gui keeps the same name as the original, just changing the extension. Since you were going dts to dts, it probably tried to overwrite itself. If you're using a newer version of eac3to, there should be a log in the output folder. Read it and see what eac3to actually did.
If you want to use this gui to do it, just add your dts file as a source on the paths/sources tab, load it on the eac3to audio tab, name your output file, choose dts as the save as type and hit run command line. That assumes you've set the paths for eac3to and destination folder.

Some conflicts with the preferences. I told the GUI to automatically use the -libav switch and it tried to apply it to the chapters.txt command, lol. So the command line ended with 1: "D:\movie\chapters.txt" -libav. Eac3to obviously didn't like this. Now that I look at the log closer I see that I also told preferences to make all videos .mkv. So I also have 1: "D:\movie\chapters.txt.mkv" in there too. rofl.
it would be nice, if one could demux certain audio/video/subtitle tracks (and not just all)
or should I make this request rather in the eac3to thread?

I see why the -libav switch ended after chapters. Currently when building command lines the order is:
1. video
2. chapters
3. subtitles
4. audio
You didn't have any subtitles or audio selected, so the switch went after chapters. I'll add a force decoder for video as well, and put a check in to ensure an audio/video track is being worked with before including the switches. Unfortunately the code currently has all of the 1.09 additions so it will this weekend at the earliest before I can get it out.
I cannot duplicate the "chapters.txt.mkv" though. My chapter files always end in .txt. Can I get a screenshot of the preferences tab and a screenshot of the command line with that in it?

You currently can with either the gui or eac3to command lines. For the gui follow these steps.
1. Load your source file(s) or folder.
2. On the eac3to video tab, select that folder in the source drop down.
3. Select the titleset you want, only if the source is a folder.
4. Select the chapter, subtitle and video tracks you want.
5. Add in any audio from the audio tab.
6. If you want more tracks than the ones you just loaded, click "Lock Current Settings To Command Line" and add in more tracks.
7. Once finished either add to batch queue or run command line.

I know why it's happening now. I'll add checks in the next version. Right now, it's adding the .mkv and no video track is loaded so it adds itself to the end of the previously locked track. I gotta find time to fine tune that preferences tab. :)
Best bet for now, if you're going to lock multiple tracks to the command line would be to take mkv off the preferences tab.
About -libav, I realized after I posted earlier that it isn't needed on the video tab, just need to ensure that it doesn't appear on that part of the command line.

I have been converting TRUE-HD to AC3 just fine using your program which solved one of my blu-ray streaming issues to the ps3. I have a couple things now that I'm not sure that the program even supports but I think it does so im gonna ask. The two things that I need to do our as follows:
Problem 1) I have msts file right now that I need to grab the Video out of which is vc-1. I need to convert this to h264. Can this be done? will it still be a msts file?
So far I have ran vc1conv on the vc-1 stream and got a new file which I named Movie. I then Tryed to upload this back into the program as a source file and it works fine. Then When I click on eac3tovideo It doesn't see the track. I also have tryed to just drop this file straight into tsmuxer but it says unrecognized format. Maybe you can help me with what im doing wrong.
Problem 2) When Im trying to convert DTS-HD. I get a couple errors that say like Libav cant be used, sonic cant be used etc. But then it starts extracting the DTS CORE. Should this work just fine if it just extracts the core and converts it to ac3 or is there gonna be a large loss in quality? Also When Im running this app it keeps getting to about 70% then the computer is freezing. :(. Is it something my comp is doing or is this conversion not capable of happening because I need to use libav or sonic or something? I also tryed to FORCE libav but the same thing happened.

21st May 2008, 20:59
@HighDefPro
1.) If you want to change the format of your VC-1 files you will need to re encode them with a tool such as MeGUI. You can choose the playstation profile for x264 encoding. M2TS is just a container. You can proceeed to mux you audio and video files to M2TS with a tool such as TSMuxer or you can use a different container.
2.) Are you sure you have the Sonic decoder installed? There is an option in the GUI to run the eac3to test of installed filters. Try this. Probably what you want to do is extract the DTS core. I suppose you could then convert that to ac3 if you felt so inclined. You would just tell the gui to make the resulting file and ac3.

libav is included but only can extract the core DTS.
Sonic decoder (not free) can do something more (but not full).
Don't worry is enough quality.

There is no virus in it.

I did send an e-mail to AVG though, to see if we can get this false positive cleared up. Thanks for the heads up. I did go ahead and replace the file on yahoo though.
Here's (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34658) a link that talks about this happening before with the scripting engine I'm using.
Thanks for the heads up. If it happens again with other AV makers, I'll get them the source so they can see it also.

Changelog:
v 1.09 beta 1
- added stdout support for eac3to.
Currently only neroaacenc.exe and pcm2tsmu.exe are supported. If you know of more let me know and I'll add them.
- added limited support for tsMuxeR. If more support is needed, let me know which options need to be included.
- added the ability to take an eac3to chapters.txt file and convert it to a tsmuxer command for the meta file.
- minor bug fixes.
To use the stdout feature of eac3to, the output file name must be stdout. This will feed it to the program chosen on the Eac3to stdout tab. Only use one stdout at a time.
Limited tsMuxer support is included. In testing I've sent audio and video to .ts, .m2ts and blu-ray disc structure.
Due to the nature of what this gui is intended for, batch processing, it is almost impossible to show the meta file that will be created since the information about the tracks cannot be gotten until the tracks exist. I started to code in storing all of the information about these tracks once gathered by eac3to, then realized it was pointless because I could not get that information from xport.
The tsMuxer tab works like the rest of the tabs. Choose your input file, add a source name and save type, add in the options for this input file, lock to command line, add more (if wanted) input files, add options. Once complete, either add to batch or run command line.
There is also the option of using a chapters.txt file in the destination folder to set the chapters for tsMuxer.
Not tested is loading an input file with more than one track in it (audio or video). I'm not sure how tsMuxer would handle that.
If there are any tsMuxer options that should be included, let me know and I'll see about adding them.

Hi Yraen!
Thanks for continuing to develop this extremely helpful GUI.
If there are any tsMuxer options that should be included, let me know and I'll see about adding them.
Since you asked: I regularly add srt subs to BluRay by way of tsMuxeR. To make them look as nice as possible, I find it's always beneficial to select an alternative font (default = Times New Roman. Yuck!) and to further control its appearance by editing size (default = 60 can be a bit small depending on font) and particularly placement (default bottom offset = 16, too little for my taste even on 16:9 videos, needs to be ~150 for 1:2.35 videos).
Just a suggestion...
Ta!

Changelog:
v 1.09 beta 3
- added subtitles to tsMuxer tab
- reduced the amount of memory the gui uses
- minor tweaks
Subtitles for tsmuxer are added as source files or demuxed with eac3to and queued in the batch. Since most of them will be srt files, add them as source files on the paths/sources tab.
There might be a problem with subs, I don't know. It seems that the command line for tsmuxer wants the charset of the font, and using autoit I can't seem to find out what the charset is. Right now it defaults all fonts to DEFAULT_CHARSET, which according to microsoft:
Note that DEFAULT_CHARSET is not a real charset; rather, it is a constant akin to NULL that means "show characters in whatever charsets are available."
So here's hoping it works okay. If needed, I've got a disabled button there that can be activated to allow the user to change the charset, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
The memory usage tweak looks real good. I've been bothered by how much memory the gui took from the beginning, and just recently found a way to lower it.

The GUI is not letting me add the path to tsMuxeR. I always delete the previous version and it's INI before using a new one. Am I doing something wrong?

oops...
It was a bug in the code. I had it fixed in 1.10 (which I'm working on) and forgot to transfer it back to 1.09 when I found it. This bug only applied itself the first time you set up tsmuxer, once starting the gui again all is correct.

Got into some trouble here: I just want to load some audiotracks as source files and convert them subsequently to ac3. some are in the same folder, some don't but the option "apply these settings to all source files..." is not working then. It seems eac3to wants to merge the audiotracks which are in the same folder?

In 1.10 I'm going to remove the automatically linking of files in the same folder. It seems I broke that in one of the recent "fixes". I'll find the problem and get a fix up later today/tomorrow.

Here's a question for everyone. Do you prefer the source file selection the way it is or would you prefer something like this? (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2174/2545751747_ab8a40998e_o.jpg)
In the photo is both ways, I could leave both ways in or get rid of one. I'm prefering the check boxes if I can get them to behave the way I want them to.

With the latest version the setting to re run the process if a gaps/overlap file is detected isn't working for batch processing. I don't know if it works for a single process since I have only tried batch processing with the latest version. Oddly when I set this option in the preferences tab it doesn't show up as checked automatically in the audio and video tabs. I noticed this and checked it manually and it still didn't work.

Hi, Being new to the forum and to this great gui. I have in the past used Tsremux to demux the audi track ie TrueHd from a movie run it through eac3to to create an lpcm file and then through Pcm2Tsmu to create an lpcm file that would work with TsMuxer. At this point in TsMuxer I would input the lpcm file for the audio file and the m2ts file of the decripted movie and select the video file from the m2ts file and the audio from the eac3to lpcm I created and finally output a .ts file that would stream to my PS3 and would play great. My question is this: How would I do this with this gui? I see how to create the lpcm audio file using the eac3to audio tab and then create the stdout lpcm using the eac3to stdout tab but in the TSmuxer tab I don't see where I can select a video track from a m2ts file and mux it together eith the newly created lpcm file. Either I don't understand the TsMuxer tab or something is missing. Please help. This tool looks like it could be the all in one tool I have been looking for to create a streamable Blu-ray file. Thank you
Yraen
11th June 2008, 11:01
There's a lot missing from both the Mkvmerge and tsMuxer tabs. This was never meant to even compete with the functionality those guis have. It was meant to bring the basics to work with eac3to in a batch queue mode.
As of right now, the only way you can get the video over to tsMuxeR is to demux it with eac3to at the same time you're getting the audio.
picman1
11th June 2008, 12:19
Oh. ok. I didn't know if more funtionality was going to be added for tsMuxer. I don't usually dmux the video. Once I create the lpcm file as I described above I add the entire m2ts movie file and the lpcm file within tsMuxer and select the video track from the m2ts file and the lpcm track and mux them to a ts file. If that can't be done in the gui I can do it outside as well. The gui is still great for creating the lpcm in one tool. Thank you.
Yraen, Just as a follow up do you think this could be an added future function for the tsMuxer tab?
Thank you.

on the video tab are under extras 2 checkboxes for muxing into movie.mkv and passthru to vc1conv, but both have no function. is this going to change or how to change the cmd-line to do so manually?
also the checkbox under video options for demuxing 1st video and all audio has no function?

We'll see what comes after I finish 1.10. It's got some changes in it that I like. And it probably would make supporting multiple tracks in tsMuxer easier.

That probably broke at the same time that the gaps detection broke. Hopefully I'll get the time this weekend to fix it. And work on 1.10 some more. There's nothing that can be changed in the command line to fix it, that was all done internally in the gui, calling vc1conv/mkvmerge after eac3to and passing the names to them.
Thanks for letting me know about that and the -demux not working. I'll try to get the fixes out this weekend.

Sorry if I'm looking in the wrong spot or didn't search with the correct keywords.
I've been using eac3to on the command line to merge M2TS files from a seamless branching BD movie and come across a post the other day recommending this GUI... I like it but I can't figure out how to get the GUI to see the list of files (i.e. "xxxx.m2ts" + "yyyy.m2ts" + "zzzz.m2ts") and pass it to the command line.
I've been using tsmuxer to open the BD MPLS playlist and then cut/pasting the list into the eac3to command line directly in a shell.
is there a way to get the GUI to streamline these steps?

hi Yraen
there is a small problem and i hope you understand what i mean.
Movie: Waterworld for example
the eac3to log shows me 14 subtitles but it is 18 subtitels.
14 normal subs and 4 forced subs. (evodemux shows me the 18 subs but canīt right demux them)
the 4 forced subs started later as the normal subs and i think thats the problem.
is there a way to fix that??? maybe by large scanning the feature.evo file or is that a problem of the eac3to.exe?
your GUI is very useful to me and i love it

Path/Sources tab choose 'Add Source Folder(s)' and choose your 'STREAM' folder -> 'Eac3to Audio' tab use the 'Input Folder' drop down and select your STREAM folder -> eac3to will then scan the disc -> choose which title set you want -> continue your processing.

Unfortunately that is an eac3to limitation and you're right about what the problem is. Eac3to, to the best of my knowledge, only reads so much of the .evo/.m2ts files to see the streams contained within. Since they start later, eac3to never sees them. You might post in the eac3to thread and see if madshi might want a sample or there is a command line switch that will let eac3to read deeper into the files.
Does unchecking the box "Fast EVO checking" let Evodemux see and demux the streams correctly? I seem to remember using it a long time ago when I had a trouble HD-DVD and it helped then (don't remember the problem though).
Thanks.

Eac3to names the gaps file the name that eac3to puts out. It should be checking to see if stdout.pcm.gaps file is found though. You only need the "stdout" name for eac3to. I do like you do, and name the audio "audio" on the stdout tab.
Looking at the code the check is in there. I'll queue up some tests though and see what happens.

Hi Yraen
the new feature in eac3to is: dts decode with arcsoft!
its posible to choose this feature in your gui??
hubble
Yraen
12th July 2008, 12:43
To the best of my knowledge, there is no switch in eac3to to specify the arcsoft decoder over the others. If you have it installed, and it is working (not expired) then eac3to will use it. Before my demo expired, eac3to used it by default. Once I get around to buying the program, I'm sure eac3to will go back to using it again.
I'll always try to stay on top of the switches that get added to eac3to, but something new (arcsoft) that gets added without needing any user input will always work by just using the latest version of eac3to.
hubblec4
12th July 2008, 15:45
ok. i know arcsoft is using by default.
but i can`t choose "default" as decoder.
Yraen
12th July 2008, 16:43
There's no need to. "<none>" means that the force decoder switch will not be used, so the default decoder will be used. Default means just that, unless specified otherwise, this is what will be used.

ok. i know arcsoft is using by default.
but i can`t choose "default" as decoder.
ArcSoft only needs to be used with DTS-MA as of now and eac3to will default to ArcSoft on those tracks if you have it installed.

I'm trying to use Nero as the filter but I cannot get it to work properly. Is there any configurations I need to make? I have Nero 7 installed with the DVD multi channel plugin activated.
This is the error I get;
"I'd like to use the Nero Decoder, but it doesn't seem to work."
Thanks,

To use Nero 7 with eac3to, you need the HD-DVD/Blu-ray plugin.

I have this plugin also... I think??? I cannot play BDs or HDDVDs, but I can burn both types to disc using Nero... would that be the same plugin?

No it's a separate plug-in that has it's own reg number and is visible in Nero Scout, I think. St0ned.

Sorry to be a dunce but could someone explain a bit about why you would want to do all the things you guys are talking about. None of it makes sense to me. I was looking for a better GUI for my PCH, but I don't understand why anyone would want to join audio and video streams via a gui. To be honest I'm not even sure that's what everyone is talking about but it seems like a lot of time farting around for no apparent reason. Why don't you just make one file that works and watch that? Sorry, I'm a n00b

What? I use Eac3to_And_More_GUI for my PCH aswell and it's been a life saver for me. For the way I wanna watch my BluRay/HD-DVD's I have to remux/process streams..that's just a fact and I like doing these kinds of things...besides once I am done processing I have obtained my BluRay/HD-DVD's for like 1-2 bucks a piece :) If you don't like this GUI you probably wouldn't last 2 minutes trying to do this stuff the old ways using Scenarist/TsRemux. Be grateful. I know I am :cool:

I'm trying to conver a LPCM wav file to DTS @ 1536kb/s, but I keep getting a "conversion not supported" error.
1. I load the file
2. --> eac3to Audio tab, select file
3. select output format/bitrate
4. Force Decoder = default, Arcsoft/Sonic both work fine, Surcode installed and works fine.
5. Check "Apply these settings... and save with original.."
6. Specify log file
7. Lock Current settings to command line, after I press this everything resets.
8. Attempt to run command line, then get the error.
Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?
Thanks, O!

^^^^
this is the command line you want:
eac3to input.lpcm output.dts -1536
I never use 'Lock current settings' or anything but setting where my apps are located, input file, and save location. Try not using 'Lock current settings' and after every thing is set just press 'run current command line'.

hi yearn
when is the new version available?
I've been away from the board for a bit, back now. I'll have a release hopefully this weekend covering all changes to eac3to. I'm still working on the next version though. I expect to get about a week free next month and hope to finish it off then.

Unfortunately there is a bug in the preferences. When you lock settings it tends to load them again. You really only need to lock settings when you're going to be doing multiple audio or video conversions/muxes in the same command line. The next version (1.10) fixes this.

You rock.
BTW. Are you addressing the issues with "automatically reprocess cmd line if gaps/overlaps found" not working? Also wbout automatically adding .sup to the end of subtitle names, just like all of the other file extensions. I understand why that one isn't there since for all of the rest of the file types the extension used determines the process eac3to takes. But it would be convenient to not have to add it to the end of every subtitle.
Thanks for all of your work. You are saving me and many others from carpal tunnel syndrome with needing to type less.

I love this GUI for Eac3to. Just one option I would like is the ability to change where the output file would end up without changing the command line. ie, my EVO file is on C: but I want to demux the files onto D: and then mux into an MKV on D:. Also, would it be possible to mux the subs into an MKV in one process aswell? It would be nice if something with forced subs could be demuxed and remuxed into an MKV in on swift move!
Great work.

It's taken me quite a while, but I've just begun to get a handle on some of the capabilities of Eac3to_and_more_GUI. I find it invaluable as part of the chain for remuxing my HD-DVDs for playback on my TViX media player.
I find using command line apps extremely frustrating, so I really appreciate the GUI.
I'm sure you have lots on your to do list, but a great option for me would be a "save as" .thd+eac option for eac3to.
Thanks for all your hard work.

I apologize to everyone for the lack of updates. I was expecting to get an operation earlier this month (first week actually), but some complications pushed it back until tomorrow. Once this is done tomorrow, I'll be off work while recuperating and should be in less pain and able to get the gui all caught up with eac3to and any progress in the other programs also. Sorry again everyone.

Just wanted to drop a note and say this is one of the coolest apps ever made. you are a lifesaver! i am happily remuxing all my blurays to mkv+flac. that batch processing queue is genious. once i got past the "lock to command line" needed for the mkvmerge part it was all downhill from there. being able to delete the temp files is great.
I just ran a batch yesterday of 10 movies and it did them all perfectly!
The only suggestion i could make that might make my life easier is to have a seperate output folder setting for eac3to and mkvmerge. i have to change my output folder each time in between each process.
I will always read my m2ts files from my source drive, then use a temp drive for the mkv and flac temp files, then i use my output drive to send my final MKV file.
when i make the batches i have to continually toggle the output drive. sometimes i might forget and have to redo it when i notice later.
it's not a real big deal but would speed things up a bit. or for all i know i can already set that and just don't know how...
thanks for everything!
dom_b
17th October 2008, 13:46
Changing the output for the mkv's would be great. I have the same trouble having to read and write to the same drive which slows things down.
digitlman
17th October 2008, 15:41
it does let me change the output, i write to a different drive, my desire was to have a seperate default output folder. it works now its just an extra step to change it each time. but really after i get my original collection of blurays converted then it wont really matter in the future as i may only do 1 or 2 at a time. its just a few extra clicks

Quick question. If I am muxing a H264 video from a m2ts, is it best to select I Frames seekable? What does it do?
dom_b
22nd October 2008, 15:49
I should'nt worry about it. As far as I know it just makes every I frame seekable, so you can skip up and down to the frame as apposed to every GOP frame which is around 2 a second. As I said though I shouldn't worry about it...

I was wondering if it would solve a problem I have a H264 AVCHD where I cannot fast forward or rewind (I can skip chapters ok).
dom_b
22nd October 2008, 18:00
it may well do. i think it would depend on which player you are using. it won't alter the video in any way, it is just to do with how the video is muxed. you should give it a go out of interest and let us know if it helps! what player are you using?

Sony S350 Blu Ray Player. I am using Ripbot to create a AVCHD DVD from a Blu Ray (or HD-DVD) and burn it using Imgburn.
dom_b
22nd October 2008, 18:23
I don't think that will make any difference, I would say it is either the player or the authoring software that is causing the problem as that is what finally muxes it. eac3to will create a muxed file but the authoring package will extract the stream and remux it. Have you tried using TSMuxer to create a BD-R?
dom_b
22nd October 2008, 18:29

I am not using ripped HD discs not MKV's. I don't have BD burnning capability (too expensive). I create M2ts files of the movies (or EVO's) for playback on the pc. I just started using ripbot as my pc is not powerful enough to run a H264 BD or HD-DVD at the high bitrates. I am using Ripbot to lower the bitrate plus convert to AC3 using Eac3to.
I got a quick test. I am extracting the video and audio from a ripbot disc and mux it back together using tsmuxer and then burn to a +RW.
dom_b
22nd October 2008, 20:46
you should just be able to open the m2ts stream in tsmuxer and create an avchd structure in tsmuxer to burn on a red laser disc for you blu-ray player, thats what i meant. not burn a bd-r...

Can anyone comment on this or shead some light. AVG just recognized eac3to_more_gui.exe as a "Worm/Autofit.FOV" after a definitions update.
Eac3to_more_GUI has been on my PC for quite some time now with AVG and no problems. Anyone else experience this?

It doesn't appear McAfee, the experts that they are, is going to change their virus definitions because I report a false positive. Maybe if several or hundreds report it might get their attention! Seems like a better option would be for the yr_eac3to_more_gui program to be updated, unless I am the only one unable to use it, then I'll just be looking for alternatives.

I have tried downloading it from Yraen's Yahoo web page and the MediaFire site ... it goes all the way to 99% download and then Chokes and it says that my Hard Drive might be full! Well, I have like 40 GB still left.
Any ideas what my problem might be!?!?
Or yet another download site?
