Another EAC3to GUI Plus

UPDATED 5-31-2010


Main Screen

Damian at MediaSmartServer.net has written a very nice in depth guide on how to use the app.
http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010...er-eac3to-gui/
His instructions go in more detail then the below guide.


Download, unzip and install from this link... (Version 0.9.1.18)

New! Added support for movie name checking and image downloads with http://www.themoviedb.org. This feature is not enabled by default. You must turn it on, go to the Tools menu and select "Image Download Options". Also support for non-forced subtitles. Lower CPU useage while archiving. A new status bar that warns the user if there is not enough disk space is available in the work folder or final file location.



Check the option "Download movie info & images from themoviedb.org"




Latest version also includes disk insertion feature that eliminates the need to select the stream folder in the textbox when archiving directly off the disk. This makes the whole process only 3 clicks and type in the name of the movie.
  • Insert disk, wait for the Analyzing Window to complete.
  • Select playlist from the Results box.
  • Type the name of the Output File text box, I use the name of the movie.
  • Press the Add Batch button.
  • Press Run All.



Recent update now includes automatic selection support for untouched TrueHD, DTS-HDMaster as well as lossess conversion to FLAC and support for legacy DTS Core, DTS, DTS-ES & Digital Dolby. Automatic selection of lossless audio tracks, chapters and forced subtitle detection in the default language. If forced subtitles are not found it then looks for subtitles that are at least smaller than 1/20th the size of the main subtitles. Automatic re-multiplexing of audio, chapters and forced subtitles using MKVMerge.

There is an easy to use option for moving forced subtitles into the image area making the output file, masking system and CIH friendly, thanks to options in BDSup2Sub. There is also an option to shut the computer down at the end of the batch processing.

Requirement now include Haali Media Splitter, Eac3to, MKVMerge, BDSup2Sub, madFlac, Trial version of Arcsoft TMT will work and .NET Framework 2.0 for XP systems. The .NET framework is built in to Vista and Windows 7 so it does not need to be loaded. Java is also required for BDSub2Sub. Last but not least you will need AnyDVD-HD or DVDFab Passkey running. All of this software is available free except for AnyDVD and TMT, trials are available for both if you want to try it all out before buying anything.


Required software:

Haali media splitter
Note: We have seen issues with eac3to and the 12/19/2009 release of Haali. This version of Haali is known to work.

Madflac decoder *

Arcsoft Total Media Theater Trial *

AnyDVD-HD Trial


* Only required if converting HD Audio to FLAC.

When the application starts for the first time it will ask for the location of “eac3to.exe”, “BDSub2Sub.jar” & “mkvmerge.exe”. Browse to the location of these applications, select the default location for the output. It’s a good idea to have them all installed before installing AnotherEAC3to GUI Plus.

Support for untouched HD Audio TrueHD & DTS-HD bitstreaming with ATI5XXX card or lossless conversion to FLAC or AAC audio and for legacy DTS, DTS-ES & Digital Dolby.



The default language is English and it uses this for detection of lossless audio, subtitles and during the MKVmerge process. Note: I have only tested with English disk. Your welcome to try another language...Just type it in and try it.

Make sure the Default Language is set to your prefered default language.

A checkbox is provided if you want to shut down the computer when MKVMerge is complete.

Check the box if you want to delete the work files at the end of MKVmerge.

The output folder same as input folder now defaults to off. Use this option if you rip several disk to the hard drive with AnyDVD then create batch jobs and place the output in the same folder as the stream. This is not the most efficient workflow but the option is still there. Click on OK to exit the options dialog.

NEW! Dramatically faster re-mux times by using the work folder option. Define a work folder on a different physical drive than the destination folder will decrease re-mux (MKVMerge) time.



Once the main window is up. (1) Browse to the folder that contains the streams, NOT just the root folder drill down to the folder that contains the stream files. On Blu-ray it will be “<Your Blu-ray Drive>\BDMV\STREAM”. When you are in the correct folder the input stream list will fill. All Blu-rays seem to use the same folder structure so once pointed to the correct folder you should never need to change it.



Press the Analyze button (2), a popup window will appear for a few seconds then the results list will fill with all the tracks available on the disk.
(3) Enter the name of the output file including the drive and folder. You may use the browse button to browse to the location.

(4) Select the track list from the results list. The stream files for that tracklist will fill the selected stream source file list. Some movies will have several tracks you may preview the files in the tracklist by clicking on them in the selected stream source list.

(5) This step is optional, some forced subtitles will allow themselves to be moved inside the image area. Select the aspect ratio of the movie. I have a masking system and it really looks bad if your subtitles appear on the mask area or if you are running a CIH setup this is also a real blessing. Thank the author of BDSup2Sub. Be sure to select this option before adding to the batch list, changing after adding to the batch will have no effect.

(6) Click on the Add Batch button. The name of the movie will now appear in the batch list.

(7) Finally Click on the Run All button. You will see a dos window appear for both the eac3to and MKVMerge. If everything goes well in about an hour you should have an MKV file ready to watch.

For users that choose to remux on there own, new smarter file naming and batch demuxing of mulitple streams with the "Command Line" button option. Edit the command line to your liking press the "Add Batch" button.

Note: no re-muxing with this option, you must use manually use MKV Merge or MKVMerge GUI.



Review your command line options by hovering over the batch list. To run all batches press the "Run All" button.
