eac3to in this case. But like tebasuna51 and myself said, its largely unimportant with real world data from actual discs.

@madshi It would be AMAZING if you would add a trimming feature that didn't silently drop the MVC sub-stream (unlike FFmpeg).

I'd do it myself, but I'm currently working on a DTS Express decoder for DCADec.

does anyone know if eac3to would recognize UHD BDs and their streams correctly? if not and if anyone has a readable disc with their drive, maybe these folks can cut samples.

UltraHD BluRay comes with a new copy protection that is yet to be cracked so there is no way to cut any samples or test with eac3to.

Also: I believe eac3to does not handle HEVC (codec used for 4k video on BluRay) video at all, irregardless of the container.

You can manually feed it 00043.mpls from the command line though, so is that really a problem?

hubblec4,
To make matters worse, there is a copy protection scheme for movie blu-rays where the MPLS files are a bit scrambled, and there's hundreds of them, so it becomes difficult to find the correct MPLS for what you're looking for. When in doubt, I use MPC-BE to watch the playlist and confirm it is correct before taking the time to demux.

Still getting "source file seems to be damaged"

Apparently, the Avatar (James Cameron) 3D Blu-ray is still getting hit with the "the source file seems to be damaged" error when attempting to work on the first English subtitle stream. Is there a workaround or fix that can be applied to fix this? This is the first of all of my 3D BDs to have this issue. (I'm not a newbie, but I've never dealt with extracting individual streams if that's what it takes.) I'm currently using BDtoAVCHD v2.5.3.

Interestingly, Disney's "Tangled" and "The Lion King" are supposed to be a victim of this, but I had no problem ripping those 3D BDs.

Try a different decrypter.
What did you use to decrypt? Try updating whatever it is.
MakeMKV updated recently to v1.9.9.

Clean the disc and/or drive lense?

AnyDVD HD handles this. The .inf file it injects into the root folder of the disc tells you which playlist to use (if it had playlist obfuscation).

This doesn't appear to be an issue with the image but rather a case of how the subtitles are on the disc. Unfortunately, Avatar has forced subtitles, so without them some scenes won't make sense. This was originally reported in 2013 but appears to still be a problem. The bug that refers to this is http://bugs.madshi.net/view.php?id=87 but I was hoping that there was a workaround for the time being.

I am very sure 00043.mpls is a duplicate of 00031.mpls...

00027.mpls contains all 5 episodes 00000.m2ts, 00001.m2ts, 00002.m2ts, 00003.m2ts and 00004.m2ts....

eac3to is showing 5 additional playlists:
00040.mpls contains 00000.m2ts
00041.mpls contains 00001.m2ts
00042.mpls contains 00002.m2ts
00031.mpls contains 00003.m2ts
00044.mpls contains 00004.m2ts

all episodes are present...
it is not unusual for BDs to have duplicate playlists, it just happens to be that eac3to picked 31 instead of 43... but the m2ts files they contain should be exactly the same...

(I'm not a newbie, but I've never dealt with extracting individual streams if that's what it takes.) I'm currently using BDtoAVCHD v2.5.3.
It's a known bug of eac3to with some 3D-BDs.

In 3D BDs, the 3D movie is contained in 2 different M2TS files and one SSIF file at the same time. A M2TS contains the AVC video stream and all audio and subtitle streams. It's the M2TS that is referenced by the 2D playlist, and that is strictly compatible with the old 2D-only BD players. Another M2TS contains only the dependent (MVC) video stream, no audio and usually no subtitle stream. It is useless, since the MVC stream cannot be decoded without the AVC stream. The two M2TS are merged to form the SSIF file when the disc is mastered (or the ISO created). The SSIF contains therefore the two video streams, all audio streams, and all subtitle streams. It's the SSIF that is referenced by the 3D MPLS and decoded and played by a 3D BD player.

The problem is that sometimes (and notably in Avatar 3D), the second M2TS contains also the subtitle streams. (I have never understood why, but it's relatively frequent.) That subtitles have EXACTLY the same stream IDs that their equivalent in the first M2TS. Therefore, the final SSIF contains two times the same subtitle streams. And eac3to gets confused, because it tries to extract the two subtitle streams with the same ID from the SSIF as a single, unique stream. Of course, that causes timings conflicts, and it issues numerous error messages.

There is currently no solution, except to extract the subtitles from the first M2TS instead of the SSIF. You have to find the corresponding 2D MPLS to force eac3to to use the 2D M2TS. Unfortunately, not all 3D-BDs have a 2D MPLS. (I don't remember for Avatar.) And anyway, eac3to will probably hide it from its list of MPLS files, because it will consider the 2D MPLS as a duplicate of the 3D one, and remove it from the list.

The other solution is to use the relatively recent 3D version of tsMuxeR to demux the 3D MPLS. It handles the double subtitle streams well. (But take care anyway. It has other bugs. Personally, I use ONLY tsMuxeR v2.6.9. It seems that it's the only version that has no problems with the timings of some subtitle streams. It's that version that is distributed with BD3D2MK3D.)

@ Q-the-STORM

You are right, mpls 00031 seems to be the same like 00043.

Ugh. I was hoping that after three years it would have been fixed, but I understand why it's not a priority if it only affects a handful of 3DBDs.

I doubt that there is anything 2D related with this. My disc is one of the Panasonic exclusives that they were distributing with their initial 3D Blu-ray players. Looks like I'll have to go out of my comfort zone to figure this out, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Another solution is to download a SRT version of the subtitle track.

Any point to using Arcsoft anymore?

Two quick questions.

Is there any point to using Arcsoft anymore when decoding DTS-HD MA of any kind, the libDcaDec seems to work for all, am I wrong?

Secondly, when using eac3tov3.31 when decoding DTS-HD MA 7.1, I get an error "libDcaDec reported the warning "XLL output not lossless"" and when using Arcsoft I get the message "volume will be low". If I simply use eac3tov3.30 without Arcsoft, I get no errors reported at all.

Any ideas?

Thanks Ben

Arcsoft is necessary for DTS-Express only, BTW remain like a option for users than prefer it.

Don't worry about that. Maybe are frames than not need lossless subframes (XLL), for instance silent frames.

Only when DTS-MA is "strange setup" ArcSoft remix the output channels forcing to have less volume than original. libDcaDec don't remix the channels.

I must say that built-in flac encoder could be faster. This method is about 2.5x faster than regular command.

Code:
eac3to.exe drive_video_10min.mkv 2:stdout.wav | CUETools.FLACCL.cmd.exe --ignore-chunk-sizes --opencl-type CPU --opencl-platform "Intel(R) OpenCL" -o c:\temp\audio.flac -
10min 5.1 DTSMA -> 5.1 FLAC
Code:
CPU: Xeon E5-2690 @ 2.9 GHz (8C/16T)
eac3to Built-in encoder : 64s  (Encoder+Decoder CPU usage: 7%)
FlacCL (Intel Platform) : 26s  (Decoder CPU usage: 7% , Encoder CPU usage: 5%)
FlacCL (AMD platform)   : 115s (Decoder CPU usage: 2% , Encoder CPU usage: 67%)
Regarding Intel Platform. It clearly shows that decoder is a bottleneck here because 7% means full single core utilization.
I'm really disappointed with AMD platform. Despite nice multi-threading encoding is very slow.
