HDConcertRipper - eac3to GUI

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=90MXMAGX

Description
HDConcertRipper inputs a decrypted HD DVD or Blu-Ray and, using eac3to to demux and decode the audio track, splits the audio into individual chapters. This is useful for ripping the audio from a concert movie into the individual songs.

After selecting the disc to split, HDConcertRipper lets you choose which audio stream to use and which chapters you want to split, as well as whether or not to upmix to 7.1 or downmix to 5.1 or 2.0. You can also edit the metadata and chapter names. eac3to is then called to demux and decode the disc, which HDConcertRipper then splits into individual FLAC or WAV files. WMA Pro (2.0, 5.1, and 7.1) output is also supported, for those with a receiver that can process it.

Installation
- madshi's eac3to (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966) must be installed

Hi!

You've not made it clear as to whether the HD-DVDs are decrypted by your GUI or if they must first be decrypted by other means before using your GUI...

As its an EAC3TO frontend, it should carry the same requirements as EAC3TO regarding decryption.

Worked perfectly fine for my Motorhead HDDVD, nice looking GUI also, thank you.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I've updated the description to explicitly state that the disc must be unencrypted.

@MuteyM

Thanks for clarifying.

I can assure you that (based on a multitude or prior observations), adding that little phrase has precluded a bunch of, "It doesn't work" postings ;>}

Thanks. Ripping chapters by hand from Blu-ray gets old fast.

May be a dumb question, but any chance this application could be updated to support DVD and DVD-A? I have a number of CD's that also have a "DVD" side that includes 5.1 audio, and I also have a collection of DVD-A's that I want to convert to WMA Pro. I just recently got a new receiver that supports multichannel WMA audio, and I want to stream it from my 360 Media Center extender. I know there are tools out there to achieve this, but this app looks to almost all-in-one. Thanks!
BTW, DVD-A extractor link here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96860

Hi MuteyM, are you still supporting this software? I am trying to use it to rip audio from the Neil Young Archives boxset of BluRay discs and it works perfectly on some of the discs while I get errors on others.
I get three types of errors:
- program reports that the WAV has wrong size: this happens at the end of the process when the big WAV file has been splitted into chapters already so I can live with this....
- program reports that the WAV is corrupt: this happens as soon as the big WAV is written, before the splitting process begins, therefore I can't split the file into chapters
- program hangs while trying to display the BD structure, this happens on a couple of discs; if I run eac3to from the command line it reports the structure correctly so the discs should be OK.... obviously I can't rip the disc when this error happens.

If you still work on this GUI and want more information on the errors please let me know. This is a great utility and I wish I could use it for all my music BluRay discs!
