(1) rebuilding with only some selected video/audio/subtitle tracks (2) handling of subtitles (3) reading of xpl and vti information (4) reading video track details (resolution, fps etc) I might add reading of xpl and video track details sooner or later. Not sure about subtitles. eac3to will probably never support (1). Quote:
Don't know why you need to sync subtitles with 24fps. Maybe the tool you're using for syncing automatically changes 24fps to 23.976 internally? I've no idea. It should be 23.976 everywhere. |

I add subtitles for my HD DVDs with srt2xas. It's a normal 24 fps .srt sub that is converted in .xas format (time is not changed during srt --> xas conversion). The program also adds a few lines in the xpl and then the sub is selectable during HD DVD playback (with u key in powerdvd for example). That's all! You have to believe me.

Hmmmm... You should be using 23.976 there. Maybe with the next movie you can try both 24.000 and 23.976 and see which fits better. I have also sometimes done the same PAL -> NTSC conversion for subtitles and I believe to remember that I always used 23.976 and had no problems with that.

I am making pan's labyrinth hd dvd subs right now. And i made subs for a .x264 (.mkv) encode yesterday. Iused 23,976 for the encode and i am going to use 24 for the hd dvd. I took the original subs from the R2 pal dvd and i convert them to 24 and 23,976 respectively.
I think we should stop now, because we are out of topic. |

Just 2 more stupid questions and I'll be set. -Is there a quality difference between between Nero and libav? I don't like the Ahead company, I'd rather use community software whenever possible. -When running it says "Removing dialog normalization..." which is good, but it does not mention the status of DRC, if it's being removed also or not. That's for your help! |

TrueHD is a lossless format. Therefore, nero decoder and libav decoder produce bit identical results.
It's not the same where it comes to e-ac3 decoding though. Nero is better there. DRC and Dialog Norm. are removed by both decoders. |

No, seriously. The Sonic Audio Decoder adds noise/distortion if you decode TrueHD to full 5.1. Strange enough everything's fine if you decode to 2.0 only. Anyway, because of this problem I've decided that eac3to will not allow using the Sonic Decoder for TrueHD. Please use libav instead which should give you perfect results. |

Madshi, I used eac3to 2.09 to combine my 300 evos to one file and encode the truehd audio to flac and then mux to mkv. Everything worked fine accept the flac never got muxed. The operation ended without errors and gracefully. I manually muxed the file using mkvtoolnix and everything was cool.
This is the syntax I used: C:\downloads\eac3to>eac3to M:\HDDVD\300_HDDVD\HVDVD_TS\feature_300NDOM6LF1VC1_HD 1.EVO+M:\HDDVD\300_HDDVD\HVDVD_TS\feature_300NDOM6LF1VC1_HD1_Divide.EVO 2: 300.mkv 5: truehd.flac -nero I used -nero cause libav chocked on the 1st go around. Please let me know if there is anything I am missing. Also, can I mux wav with mkv instead of flac? Thanks |

It's not intended to. Theoretically I could add options to mux audio files to the MKV file, but the usage of eac3to is already complicated enough for my taste. Adding further options for muxing would make things extremely complicated, I fear. Because of that eac3to just muxes the video to MKV and leaves audio muxing to you. This way you can at least choose exactly which audio tracks you want to have muxed. Maybe you also want to mux additional audio tracks from DVD? Or subtitle tracks? eac3to cannot handle all that.
Generally, if you find any situation where the libav decoder chokes, *please* try to make a little sample. Because the libav TrueHD developer can only fix bugs he gets a sample for. If you have a sample, just let me know. I'm in contact with the libav TrueHD developer and can forward any samples to him. Let's make the libav TrueHD decoder stable! All we have to do is to provide the developer with samples whenever a problem occurs with his decoder... Never tried that yet, but I think you can. Of course file size will grow noticably. |

edit: hmh, answered while i was typing, nevermind. although, the less times you need to (re)mux something, the less discspace needed/less wear on the harddrives/less annoyance.. other than that, it's all awesome m2ts support would also be amazing if it would mean you wouldn't have to concatenate before remuxing (especially amazing for the seamless branching movies) Last edited by shambles; 19th December 2007 at 18:30. |

eac3to can handle multiple EVO source files without you having to concatenate them before. I expect the same behaviour for m2ts files. |
