I am trying to join two evo files from the 300 HD-DVD. They had some wierd names but I worked out which was the first and which was the second. Using eac3to to extract the audio and VC1 file with this command line

eac3to.exe "E:\TEMP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_300NDOM6LF1VC1_HD1.EVO"+"E:\TEMP\HVDVD_TS\FEATURE_300NDOM6LF1VC1_HD2.EVO" 2: "C:\Temp\HDDVD.vc1" 5: -down2 -192 "C:\Temp\HDDVD5.thd+ac3" -stripPulldown -progressNumbers -libav

I get the message as noted above

a05 Extracting audio track number 5...
a05 Removing TrueHD dialog normalization...
a05 Decoding with libav/ffmpeg...
a05 Downmixing multi channel audio to stereo...
a05 Encoding AC3 <192kbps> with libAften...
a05 The thd ac3 joiner doesn't have the correct connections.
Aborted at file position 1048576.

Out of interest I removed ac3 as an output option (I don't need it) so the output file was "C:\Temp\HDDVD5.thd" and while it completed with no errors, the thd file isn't recognized by tsmuxer as an audio file of any type it knows. It knows about the THD+ac3 file though.

This is the version of eac3to I am using

Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is it possible in copying the files off the HD-DVD they got corrupted?

Thanks

[EDIT]

Never mind. While I don't know what the problem was I found a way around it. I just ran eac3to and demuxed everything in the EVO files. This created the VC1 I needed for the encode and a THD file. While tsmuxer can't read the THD file another eacto run to create a THD+AC3 create a file that tsmuxer could read so all is going okay now.
