Sorry, mate, but this is a problem which is obviously not related in any way to eac3to. It seems that something with your Haali installation is broken. Can't help you with that, unfortunately...

what that means ?

eac3to v2.79
command line: "D:\DVD-tools\RipBot264v1.11.5\Tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "F:\Batman-7.ts" 2:"C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job3\audio.1.mp2" -progressnumbers

how can I fix that ?

How about internal matroska read/write support?

That means that your source file is probably damaged/corrupt. eac3to currently doesn't handle such files well. You'll have to use a different tool for extracting the video/audio tracks from this TS file.

For those interested, the eac3to (SSRC) resampling graphs are now online here:

http://src.infinitewave.ca

As far as I can see, eac3to belongs into the top group of steep resamplers. It's intentionally not as steep as the original SSRC algorithm, but still belongs to the steepest algorithms in the comparison. However, if you are willing to sacrifice high frequency response and if you don't mind some aliasing artifacts, there are other resamplers which have noticeably less ringing. I've learned that there's not one "best" resampler. Going steeper gives you get better high frequency response, but you buy it with stronger ringing. So the "best" resampling algorithm/parameters depend on the material and also on your taste...

can you suggest me a tool that can do that ?

do you think you can add where the audio track failed ? like 341megs : 23:34.112

like that I could just split my movie.. and convert before and after that time.

You can use TsRemux or tsMuxeR to do the demuxing/extracting. Then you can run the audio track(s) through delaycut to fix them. Finally, if there's any other audio processing, you can then use eac3to.

It's already there: "Aborted at file position 303874048."

So the problem is somewhere around 303874048 bytes (probably a few bytes before that).

Madshi (or anyone else knowledgeable in these matters), i have a Japanese LCPM 2.0 sound track (Macross Frontier, Blu-Ray), which I'd like to convert to DTS 1.5 Mb/s, if possible. I have SurCode 1.0.29. But when I run eac3to, like this:

eac3to 00002.m2ts 3: c:\video\mf4.dts

Then eac3to starts to create two wav files (for left and right, it seems). Not quite what I was looking for. Am I missing something? I've done a lot of DTS decoding, just never encoding.

Thanks

It's simple, your source track is 2.0 only. Thus the DTS will be stereo.

Thanks. I see the two wavs were just an intermediary state, prior to Surcode starting.

Oh, your question had to do with the existence of the wav files, not the number of them...

Yes, surcode needs to be fed with mono wav files.

Hmm, on my Vmware box I now get the following:

command line: eac3to 00002.m2ts 3: c:\video\mf2.dts -1536
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2TS, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 1:12:28
1: Chapters, 7 chapters
2: h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
3: RAW/PCM, Japanese, 2.0 channels, 16 bits, 48khz
[a03] Extracting audio track number 3...
[a03] Reading RAW/PCM...
[a03] Swapping endian...
[a03] Writing WAVs...
[a03] Creating file "c:\video\mf2.R.wav"...
[a03] Creating file "c:\video\mf2.L.wav"...
[a03] The original audio track has a constant bit depth of 16 bits.
Encoding DTS <1536kbps> with Surcode...
Found Surcode DTS Encoder version 1.0.29.0.
Surcode says/asks: "At least one valid source file must be specified to encode.".
Pressing the Surcode "Encode" button didn't seem to work...
Closing Surcode...

The eac3to FAQ says: "Surcode doesn't like long filenames/paths. Change them and you 'll be ok." I don't see any long filenames, though. Anyone else has any idea?

Thanks

It should be the vmware. Surcode is generally a strange application.

Surcode only can make 5.0 or 5.1 encodes.

BTW, I can't understand why you need convert a lossless format:
LPCM 2.0 16 bit 48 KHz -> 48000 x 16 x 2 = 1536 Kb/s
to a lossy format:
DTS 2.0 1536 Kb/s

Use flac to less space or preserve LPCM

I don't have an HDMI 1.3 receiver (yet). So, since I'll be streaming this BD series to my PS3, using the optical out, I figured I wouldn't be able to do LPCM over the 'bitstream' channel. But now I'm not so sure anymore. it seems "LPCM 2.0 48Khz" is supported over optical. So maybe it's just 7.1 LPCM that needs to be done over HDMI per se? This warrants some tests.

Exact.
"LPCM 2.0 48Khz" is supported over optical.
7.1 LPCM needs to be done over HDMI.

eac3to can't detect this FLAC track but madFLAC Source accepts it and is decoded fine with ffdshow.. well, apart from time issue.
http://www.stfcc.org/misc/departed.flac

Only thing I can do is make a graph of madFLAC Source -> ffdshow audio decoder -> Dump, then use eac3to to convert that PCM track to FLAC. :P

* program streams which are neither VOB nor EVO are now reported as "MPG"
* resampling is now automatically activated for AC3/DTS encoding, if necessary
* "Mersenne Twister" random number generator is used for dithering now
* zero padded DTS tracks are now displayed as such
* fixed: 32bit PCM conversion to floating point was broken
* fixed: with some (rare) movies first subtitle began after 50 minutes runtime
* only plugins with the extension *.dll are loaded now

Madshi, seems somthing wrong now....

4: E-AC3, 2.0 channels, 448kbps, 48khz
5: Subtitle

Wrong duration is listed and something seems to be wrong with the 5.1 track listing. When the files are processed, an endless list of 13ms audio overlaps are reported in the 5.1 track.

Tried eeac3to v2.79 and v2.78 with this result, same EVO files where processed before with older version of eac3to without problems (cannot remember what version though... if important I can check)
