eac3to

Anybody running this under Linux? Is there a compile? Wine?

Anybody running this under Linux? Is there a compile? Wine?

I tried Wine and couldn't get it to work.

[liquidator87]

I use it on Ubuntu every day :)

[stanjr]

I use it on Ubuntu every day :)How do you do it?

[Sharktooth]

wine?

[nautilus7]

I don't use Linux, but it has been mentioned in the eac3to thread that it works under wine. Only problem is that the directShow decoders eac3to uses (nero, arcsoft, sonic) don't work.

[stanjr]

So it won't be able to work in Wine due to DirectShow stuff not working.

Are there any tools that complete the tasks that eac3to does within Windows, but within Linux (Ubuntu)?

[Sharktooth]

he just said it works... the directshow decoders do not...
so eac3to will have crippled functionalities.
AFAIK there are no tools that can replace eac3to (coz it is not just an audio converter...)

[nautilus7]

Perhaps the libav decoder is working (it's not ddshow). Only severe disadvantage from using it instead of the default decoders would be with DTS-HD tracks (only the DTS core would be decoded).

[wswartzendruber]

Wait a minute, the default DTS-HD decoder is ArcSoft's, and those DLLs have to be in the %PATH% variable to work. I'm gonna try this anyway.

I can't get it to work properly under Linux. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and eac3to version 3.17 under wine. If I use it to show the streams in a BD, it works:

doragasu@doragasu-C2D:~/Documentos/utilidades/eac3to$ wine eac3to /home/doragasu/Escritorio/trans/BDRIP

But if I try to extract a video track and mux it as MKV, it fails miserably:
doragasu@doragasu-C2D:~/Documentos/utilidades/eac3to$ wine eac3to /home/doragasu/Escritorio/trans/BDRIP 1\) 2:video.mkv
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x32fce0) using GetSystemInfo()
Hooking GetModuleFileNameA failed (Success).
Hooking WriteConsoleA failed (Success).
Please specify the source and dest files first and then the options.

If I try to extract the track to raw h264 it also fails. Is this supposed to work? Am I doing anything wrong? Do I need to install anything?

[nm]

doragasu@doragasu-C2D:~/Documentos/utilidades/eac3to$ wine eac3to /home/doragasu/Escritorio/trans/BDRIP 1\) 2:video.mkv

Perhaps that command-line syntax doesn't work properly with wine. Also, in some examples there seems to be a space between the track ID and the output file: "2:_video.mkv".

Have you tried demuxing from m2ts files directly?

If I try to extract the track to raw h264 it also fails. Is this supposed to work?

That should work. I'm not sure about MKV muxing since that is done with Haali Matroska Muxer.

[liquidator87]

try "1)" instead of 1\) and 2: video.mkv instead of 2:video.mkv

[doragasu]

Thanks for help, but it continues refusing to work:

doragasu@doragasu-C2D:~/Documentos/utilidades/eac3to$ wine eac3to.exe /home/doragasu/Escritorio/trans/BDRIP "1)" 2: video.mkv
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x32fce0) using GetSystemInfo()
Hooking GetModuleFileNameA failed (Success).
Hooking WriteConsoleA failed (Success).
Please specify the source and dest files first and then the options.

I also tried to write the track in raw format (with extensions .264 and .h264) but that doesn't help.

[doragasu]

I'm out of luck. If I try to open the m2ts file directly, eac3to fails even to display the streams contained in the file. Maybe a problem with wine and command line parsing?

I have tried to move the BDRIP directory to eac3to directory and now it goes a bit further, but still I can't get it to work:
doragasu@doragasu-C2D:~/Documentos/utilidades/eac3to$ wine eac3to.exe BDRIP
fixme:reg:GetNativeSystemInfo (0x32fce0) using GetSystemInfo()

If I move the 00076.m2ts file to the eac3to folder and try to extract the video track, again I get the same "err:virtual:NtMapViewOfSection Sizes larger than 4Gb (63179f000) not supported on this platform
" error. I also get this error if I try to extract to raw h264 instead of mkv.

Anyone tried eac3to under wine with files larger than 4GB?

This bug should be fixed in Wine 1.1.16 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17373). Which version are you using?

[doragasu]

I'm using the stable version (1.0.1). Time to search a .deb of the latest version...

EDIT: Updated wine to version 1.1.33 and the problem with >4GB files is now fixed. video extraction to raw h264 is now working. Too bad extraction to mkv fails with error "v02 Starting DirectShow conversion failed.". I installed the Haali Matroska Splitter, but muxing to mkv doesn't work. DirectShow filters aren't supported by wine, right?

Thanks a lot for help.

HOWTO: running eac3to under wine with Arcsoft TotalMedia Theater for DTS-HD decoding

[doragasu]

Great tutorial. Again, thanks a lot!

[HolyRoses]

I compiled wine and tested encoding aac files from AC3. Worked for me. You might want to extract audio files and such using native compiled mkvtools rather than having eac3to do that sort of extraction.

wine-1.1.34-530-g8199784 (from git)
Mac OS X 10.6.2
eac3to v3.17
NeroDigitalAudio 1.3.3.0

Used this build guide:

http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Building

Be nice if there was a native linux / macos binary. There are some complains when it runs but it seems to run.

On Core duo 2ghz it took 1hr 28 min to transcode ac3 5.1 to aac 5.1 (length 2hr 32min), although it was only using half the cpu because ffmpeg was using the other half doing something else. Same file took 1hr 2 min on unhindered cpu. This was a 2 pass encode.
