This is very efficient for tv shows.

If I understand you correctly this is how I have it set up at the moment. For TV shows too. Saves 10s of gigabytes with no transcoding! Performance and reliability are much better too, so pretty excellent IMO.
One recording I ran through eac3to and mkvmerge had chunk of audio or video missing because of some big spike of interference corrupting the data. So 1/2 way into the show, the audio and video went way out of sync by around a whole second.
So I notice eac3to says something like "... it may work, or not" as part of a warning message. For these files I want the batch file to abort and leave the original file as is rather than try and remux it to mkv with audio sync problems. So how can this be done? Maybe...
IF ERRORLEVEL = 1 (after eac3to is done) or...
eac3to.exe ..... | FIND "it may work, or not" <-- will that work doing it that way?
