I found a bug in the new GUI. It seems when you navigate through the options using the TAB key as oppose to the mouse the drop down menus get confused.

Answering the questions about the gui here to keep from cluttering up this thread.

Is it normal for the output for TrueHD tracks to be missing bit depth?

What do you mean? Is the output 16 bit? That's normal. Here's why:

This means that some TrueHD tracks contain full 24 bit of information, while others have 4 bit or 8 bit of those 24 bit filled up with nothing but zeroes. eac3to detects both situations and behaves accordingly. It will never throw away any audio data when doing a conversion, unless you explicitly tell it to.

Strange...
Do you use eac3to v2.25?

I will cut a sample later today and upload.

I just remuxed equilibrium and eac3to didnt report me any gaps (or would I have had to use a extra switch for that?). still, the steam is quite tough and it takes me ~10 seconds before the picture comes when I jump into it somewhere. so ill definately wait with this one until h264 muxing is supported by eac3to in order there might still be some improvements for that movie.

To be honest, source file joining for MLP files was not an intended feature. It's nice that it works sometimes, but I never even thought it would... I think it will work if the parameters between the separate MLP tracks are 100% identical.

fail. eac3to says:

MLP, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 96khz
The channel modder received a non-supported data format.
Does that only happen if you join the MLP files? This complaint does not appear when converting both MLP files separately? When does that complaint appear? Right at the beginning of the operation or somewhere in the middle?

Generally you could do this:

(1) Decode the MLP files to RAW.
(2) Use "eac3to track1.RAW+track2.RAW final.FLAC"

Doing it this way should always work with all kinds of source audio formats. However, the tracks must have exactly the same channels and bitdepth and samplerate etc. Furthermore it may happen that you manually have to specify the number channels etc if eac3to cannot detect it automatically (in step (2)).

Yeah, that's right. And there's not much I can do about it. But I don't see it as a big problem...

Gap detection for h264 doesn't work yet.

With 2.23 (and no aspect ratio written into the mkv), they would play with the correct aspect ratio (16:9) in MPC. With 2.24+ they seem to play according to the resolution's aspect ratio or something.
I know about that. I have a 1280x1080p24 and a 1440x1080p30 sample here and I noticed myself that MPC doesn't recognize aspect ratio correctly. The problem is that IMHO the MKV created by eac3to v2.24+ is perfectly right. The MKV created by older versions worked better, but strange enough it was not really correct. Because of this I'm not sure right now what to do. I'm already in discussion with Casimir (the MPC HC programmer) about this problem. I've also sent a PM to Haali about it. And I've posted to the ZoomPlayer forum cause ZoomPlayer shows the same problems.

Some more information:
(1) When using the Sonic VC-1 decoder the problem goes away and MPC shows the video in the correct aspect ratio. The problem seems to occur only when using the MS VC-1 decoder.
(2) The problem seems to occur in XP only and not in Vista. At least that's what I've been told, personally I've checked it only in XP. And there the problem occurs.

I could. But I want to clear things first before doing that because I prefer creating "perfect" MKVs (and then have the bugs fixed in Haali's Media Splitter and/or MPC) over creating incorrect MKVs which just happen to play correctly.

For now you can manually force aspect ratio to 16:9, that will take care of the problem. Of course it's not nice. And I hope to have this fixed sooner or later...

as far as I remember I just used the standard command line without any switch, so the default option (dont ask me though which one that is :P)

Is it possible to convert a dts-hd track to AC3 directly? I tried sonic, nero & libav without success... (used the gui vers. 2.0)

Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\>"C:\Rippen\Programme\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "C:\ton1.dtshd" "C:\ton1.ac3"-640  -
libav
DTS Master Audio, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 48khz
This audio conversion is not supported.

@kurt, every option needs to be separated by a space. eac3to interprets "C:\ton1.ac3"-640 as the name of the destination file because there's a space missing.

ah, thanks. should have seen this by myself. So it's a bug in the gui by keymaker

I hadn't make any conversions lately, so this is the first time i test the new faster versions. Running on a c2d, source is on external usb hdd. Actually, the ext. drive is stalling the process.
Code:
eac3to L0_mainMovie.EVO+L1_mainMovie.EVO 2: pianist.mkv 3: pianist.french.dts 4: pianist.dtshd
EVO, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 2:28:45
1: Joined EVO file
2: VC-1, 1080p24 (16:9) /1.001
3: DTS, 5.1 channels, 16 bits, 1536kbit/s, 48khz
4: DTS Master Audio, 5.1 channels, 16 bits, 48khz
Extracting primary video track...
Extracting audio track number 3...
Extracting audio track number 4...
Muxing video to Matroska...
Patching bitdepth to 24 bits...
Creating/writing file "pianist.dtshd"...
Creating/writing file "pianist.french.dts"...
The last DTS frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped.
Added fps value to MKV header.
Video track 2 contains 213985 frames.
eac3to processing took 28 minutes, 45 seconds.
Done.
Thanks, madshi.

Btw, a small question/suggestion: The last DTS frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped message refers to which track? Wouldn't be better if you change this to something like: track 3: The last DTS frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped?

EDIT: I did another one... From one internal hdd to another internal hdd this time.

Code:
eac3to FEATURE_1.EVO+FEATURE_2.EVO 2: kingdom.mkv 4: kingdom.ac3 6: audio1.eac3 7: audio2.eac3
EVO, 2 video tracks, 4 audio tracks, 1:50:20
1: Joined EVO file
2: VC-1, 1080p24 (16:9) /1.001
3: VC-1, 480p30 (3:2) /1.001
4: E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 1536kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, 9ms
5: E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 768kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -1ms
6: E-AC3, 2.0 channels, 384kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -17ms
7: E-AC3, 2.0 channels, 192kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, 596ms
...
...
...
eac3to processing took 9 minutes, 37 seconds.
Done.
LOL. It's super fast.

1: Joined EVO file
Tried this on '2001', but the EVOs won't join. The output is just the first evo, no error message, just no 'joined evo' line. Also tried to use Evodemux to see if that would join them, but it's the same...
How is the join normally achieved? Is there something in the file header somewhere that should point to the second evo, or is it just off the filename? If the latter then I am at a loss since the naming seems to follow the usual convention.

No nothing special. You just need to put a + between the two evos.

It would be helpful.

@ madshi

I have another little suggestion. In the video properties, the aspect ratio should be displayed at the end (or the beginning) and not between the framerate. I mean it should be VC-1, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) instead of VC-1, 1080p24 (16:9) /1.001.

Tried it again: maybe I misspelt something because it's working this time! I think I might have put a space before the plus, possibly that blows it. Strange that Evodemux didn't work though, just a flag setting in that to do the join.
