Let me know if you get it to work.
I am using arcsoft, nero, sonic and surcode with eac3to, all without installing them completely on my system.

My best guess is that the Monters Inc. Bonus disc only has shorter playlists than 15 minutes. Is that possible? Of course the eac3to complaint is bad/wrong, if that's the cause of the problem.
Your right, none of the playlists or videos are longer than 15 minutes. Thank you for clearing this up.

NO, I bought and paid for it. See image....

Nero Files:
- AdvrCntr2.dll

Copy these files in a folder of your choice. I have copied them to my eac3to folder.
Use the following command lines to register the dll's.
regsvr32.exe C:\tools\eac3to\Nero\NeAudio2.ax
regsvr32.exe C:\tools\eac3to\Nero\AdvrCntr2.dll

The following registry keys have to be added to the registry to register the nero plugin.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info]
etc.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Installation\Families\Plugins\Info]
etc.

That all you need to use the nero plugin with eac3to
NeAudio2.ax? I have the other files, no idea why i cant find this one..

I have Nero installed on one windows xp system.
If you have installed Nero and activated the plugin correctly. The files should be installed in:
AdvrCntr2.dll -> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\Lib
NeAudio2.ax -> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSfilter
NeEacDec.dll -> C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSfilter

As I previously stated, I have no idea why I can't find the one file. The screen shot proves I have Nero installed and the plugin activated. Was just asking for a little help with one file..

My W7 x64 has NeAudio2.ax in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter but for my installation I used a "micro" installer (search on that word in this thread). Don't recall why I used it except I didn't want to pollute my new Windows 7 with Nero junk--I don't even have the Registry entries that others have posted.

Dunno if your Premium codes will work w/a micro install--my Ultra codes worked again just fine (previously was installed to an XP x64 partition).

Nero Lite/Micro works just fine. I never used the full Nero with Nero Lite/Micro so I suggest that you uninstall it first. Even run Nero Clean Tool after you uninstall it.

dansfre: Thanks for the offer. That information was posted in this thread a long time ago. However, I'll repost it here for others to see.

1. Copy the following files to your eac3to directory.

ASAudioHD.ax
checkactivate.dll
DtsDec.dll
dtsdecoderdll.dll
MagCore.dll
MagPCMac.dll
MagUIEngine.dll
MagUIInter.dll

2. Run regsvr32.exe ASAudioHD.ax from a command line in your eac3to folder.

This definitely works with dtsdecoderdll.dll 1.1.0.0 and dtsdec.dll 1.0.2.2; there are so many Arcsoft updates issued that I'm not sure if every version uses the same one.

If anyone needs help with the files drop me a PM.

Yet Another Shameless Feature Request

— add switch -dtsfreq , for modifying the playback frequency of the lossy DTS streams ( most useful if someone intends to create a DTS-CD @ 1387.0828125kbps but is too lazy to deal with a hex editor )

— add switch -dtsrate, for modifying the apparent bitrate of .cpt files

Yes but in order to attain those files, you have to download the trial then get the files from it. In order to save everyone time I can give you a zip file with all the latest versions of those dlls and asaudiohd.ax however I am not quite sure if it is allowed to package those dlls even though they do exist in the trail version.

If it's trialware there is nothing illegal or wrong with it. Trialware is freely available to anyone.

I actually have a question regarding ArcSoft decoding of DTS-HD MA streams in eac3to. Do I have to set any parameters in ASAudioHD.ax such as channel outputs or anything or does eac3to just use the engine of the dlls from ArcSoft DTS Decoder to decode the dts-hd ma streams in its original state?

When I try to convert mp3 to m4a or an mp2 to ac3 I hear lots of crackling (especially in dialog) that wasn't in the original audio source.

My commands are this:

eac3to source.mp2 source.ac3 -resampleto48000 -160

and

eac3to source.mp3 source.m4a -180

Am I doing something wrong or is there some other setting I should use?

I had the same problem. It has something to do with a bug in the Libav / ffmpeg decoder (the default eac3to decoder).
Use nero to decode the mp3 with eac3to and the crackling should be gone.

for example,

eac3to source.mp2 source.ac3 -resampleto48000 -160 -nero

Is there an updated version of the Libav / ffmpeg decoder that doesn't cause this problem?

I have the same problem with crackling sound when converting a DTS-HD 7.1 file into a FLAC 7.1 file using the Arcsoft decoder. Only 7.1 goes wrong, 5.1 works like a charm. Does the same solution work here too? If not, is there another remedy?
