unless i missed something, this makes no sense. wouldnt loading the file into gdsmux and selecting the video stream leave me with a demuxed video file in mkv?

the tool works fine however the end MKV is very blocky and has weird color blocks in some areas? any idea what could cause this and or how to fix it?

It would leave you with a MKV file with the video in it. Just the same what eac3to does when remuxing EVOs to MKV.

However, gdsmux fails to work for some h264 Blu-Ray movies. You'll have to try if it works or not.

Which movie is that and what exactly did you do?

[nincollector]

its the nine inch nails beside you in time hd dvd.

i used eac3to nin.evo nin.mkv

it all processed with no errors but when i play back the mkv it has blocks color distortion and stutters. possible my filters arent installed properly?

ive installed matroska splitter
mkvtoolnix
and matroska pack full 1.1.2

should i uninstall sonic?

if i demux the evo the VC1 plays fine.

What happens if you play the EVO file?

Can you upload a little sample with which I could reproduce this problem?

Yes. See first post of this thread.

hi i have demuxxed the dts hd stream via graphedit
filesource- sonic hd demuxxer-- hdtv dump filter

now is the file clean, i think evodemux make here an failure

thx

[nincollector]

Why don't you use eac3to for demuxing!?

I need a sample of the EVO file. A sample of the MKV file doesn't help me at all. You can cut EVO files e.g. by using a hexeditor.

The evo part was 150mb and I tried to upload it two times. Both times the upload to sendspace crashed after approx. 90 minutes, so I thought will try that later. It worked now, so if you're still interested:http://www.sendspace.com/file/yd2aj0 and http://www.sendspace.com/file/j3yomn

Anyone knows a free file host with better uploadspeed than sendspace?

Anyway, did you turn off timecode rewriting?

Nope, but I know what went wrong. I just cut of the main part of the evo with a file splitter (don't know of a better way) and eac3to/mkvtoolnix(?) doesn't like that. It completes normally, so I wasn't paying much attentention and didn't see the message "The DirectShow decoder thread seems to hang". So there was no rewrite of timestamps. After rewriting the timestamps myself with mkvmerge, the tiny stutter was gone, as you said. Awesome.

It's quite simple: The Haali Media Splitter parses EVO files in such a way that timecodes are sometimes a bit "funny". This can result in such tiny stutters. That's why eac3to is by default rewriting timecodes by using mkvtoolnix as a 2nd step after having muxed the EVO file to MKV by using the Haali filters.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you happen to know whether Haali is aware of this?

So if you decode an E-AC3 track and a libav request for sending a sample pops up, *please* take the time to upload a little sample, so that the E-AC3 decoder programmer gets a little help from us.

This eac3 file crashes libav.

[rickardk]

eac3to fails on Sum of all fears.

eac3to feature_1.evo+feature_2.evo
after that nothing...

[nautilus7]

Is the above command the exact you type? There's no output man!

What I meant is that I don't even get information about the title.

Evodemux demuxed without problem.
eac3to can't demux/remux or show information about the title.

[nautilus7]

Sorry!

What else did you try? What do these result in?
- eac3to feature_1.evo
- eac3to feature_2.evo
- eac3to feature_1.evo -test

does not work at all with feature_1.evo, feature_2.evo or feature_1.evo+feature_2.evo


feature_1.evo(or feature_2.evo, rebuilt.evo) -test gives:

Nero Audio Decoder (Nero 7 or older) works fine
Sonic Audio Decoder (4.3.0.169) works fine
Haali Media Splitter (2007-11-18) is installed
Surcode DTS Encoder doesn't seem to be installed
MkvToolnix (v2.1.0) is installed

then it hangs/stops

what are you trying to do? you havent given it a destination. if you want to demux you need to add -demux to the end
