I tried it 5 times again, and not once have I had the same problem. It must have been a fluke.

Thanks for looking though.

I should have mentioned that 'wine eac3to videofolder "1)"' works perfectly after the disc is decrypted and ripped to the hard disk.
you canīt just use the command like this:
eac3to /mnt/cdrom ....

you have to start with the letter that wine assigned for "My Computer".
it should look like this:
eac3to z:/mnt/cdrom/
then you can append the title.
eac3to z:/mnt/cdrom "1)"

eac3to v3.05 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

Code:
* warning is shown if h264 video bitstream contains "full range" flag
* h264 video bitstream "full range" flag is automatically removed
* you can disable removal of the "full range" flag by doing "-keepFullRange"
* added reader for external DVD, HD DVD and Blu-Ray SUP files
* external SUP files can be delayed now
* number of HD DVD and DVD subtitles in SUP track is counted and displayed
* number of forced and non-forced Blu-Ray subtitles in SUP track is displayed
* "-check" option now also works for demuxed audio, video and subtitle tracks
* when reading from physical disk drive, 2KB (instead of 1MB) blocks are read
* improved automatic skipping over damaged first 5MB of TS/m2ts files
* fixed: resampling and Surcode encoding didn't work in one step
* fixed: TRP detection crashed
* fixed: track listing sometimes contained tracks without description
* fixed: h264 with missing framerate in 1st sequence header made eac3to crash
* fixed: some AC3WAV files were not detected correctly
* fixed: video frame count was not displayed when 2nd pass was executed

Hello Madshi,

Thanks for your time and your application.

I have been using eac3 version 3.04, trying to convert a normal DTS track to another DTS track (just needed to resample the track to PAL format), but has been experiencing a problem with it.
Here is the message i got after all the wav files were created....

"Encoding DTS <1536kbps> with Surcode...
Found Surcode DTS Encoder version 1.0.23.0.
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..."

I tried using version 1.0.23
I'm trying right now with version 1.0.21....... is this a known issue?

Thanks

thanks!

can you comment on what the difference will be regarding the change to 2KB blocks from 1MB when reading from HDD? I am thinking to get myself another HD to create raid 0 in order to speed up eac3to processing and especially because I hope it will take away some load from the disk. when its reading from the same drive windows is installed on as well, then I hardly can do something else until its finished (especially the more bitrate the streams have and the more tracks are processed at the same time). would raid 0 be able to change that, or would it only speed up the whole process, but the HDD load thing would remain as now?

Surcode sometimes has problems with funny file names. Try renaming the DTS file to something very simple, e.g. "test.dts". Maybe that helps...

I found that reading physical discs is much faster when reading 2KB blocks instead of 1MB blocks. Don't ask me why, I don't really understand it. However, reading files from harddisk is about twice as fast with 1MB blocks compared to 2KB blocks. So v3.05 checks which drive the source file is read from. If it's a CDROM/DVD/Blu-Ray/HD DVD drive, 2KB blocks are used. Otherwise 1MB blocks are used.

I'd suggest not using raid, but just using a second separate HDD for video processing purposes. Not using the HDD where Windows is installed on should help a lot.

Sorry Bit of a quickie question here: do you still need to have nero 7 installed to use this tool to decode DD+ streams to wavs? Thanks.

hm the way I have it now is that the partition windows is on is the reading partition, but the output is placed on another drive. but still, the reading alone already delays the system quite much.
I thought it might be more effective that way to seperate the reading and writing process to 2 different drives, as its faster to copy stuff from one HD to another than just to different folders on the same drive or also to mux with mkvmerge to another drive than the one you are reading from. so eac3to doesnt behave in the same way?

Great, thanks for the useful update. Being alerted to forced English subs at the time of demuxing will save a lot of time messing around with SupRead/Rip.

How will the forced subtitles be shown? I have Apocalypto BD and it's doesn't show any subtitles being forced.

Hi madshi,

Excuse me if this is already an option and I've somehow missed it, but can you please add an option to disable the second pass upon clipping being detected?

Eac3to already takes long enough to convert audio of decent length without doing two passes, and I don't always care about some minor clipping artefacts.

I don't know, you can test it for yourself. I think performance will be better with eac3to, too, but it might still slow the OS down. Try reading+writing from/to the non-OS harddisk. That might take a longer time, but I think the OS should be more responsive that way.

You can also try the "-lowPriority" switch. That might also help OS responsiveness (on the cost of longer processing time). This switch should especially well on Vista and Windows 7. It should also help on XP and older OSs, but not as much as with Vista.

See first post of this thread.

I'd suggest to use e.g. "-3db" instead. That will lower volume a bit, which usually gets rid of clipping. As a result a 2nd pass will in most cases not be necessary, anymore. So this basically does what you are asking for, and has the additional bonus of getting rid of clipping. Of course it comes at the cost of generally lowered volume, whenever you use this switch...

Here are some possible reports posted by eac3to:

Code:
[s07] Counted 23 forced subtitles.
[s08] Counted 167 subtitles.
[s09] Counted 158 normal and 5 forced subtitles.
This information is only posted after full processing has run through! It is not possible for eac3to to report this without reading the complete source files. So don't expect this information in the track listing...

Question:

Does anybody have a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker setup and a Dolby Digital EX capable AVR and the possibility to send 6.1 or 7.1 PCM via HDMI to the receiver and would be willing to do some tests for me? If so, please PM me (don't post in this thread). Thanks!

I am having troubles getting the arcsoft decoders to work with eac3to. When I run eac3to -test, I get "ArcSoft DTS Decoder doesn't seem to be installed". Im running 3.04 of eac3to, and just purchased TMT (the download gave me .126). The codecs do work with Graphstudio (using render media file), so that proves they are registered.

So how does eac3to decide if TMT is installed? Does it have anything to do with these 2 lines from a Process Monitor output (the referenced file does not exist in my fresh .126 retail installation):

5:20:13.4001806 PM eac3to.exe 5220 QueryOpen C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Bin\RPAWINET.DLL FAST IO DISALLOWED
5:20:13.4003641 PM eac3to.exe 5220 CreateFile C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Bin\RPAWINET.DLL NAME NOT FOUND Desired Access: Read Attributes, Disposition: Open, Options: Open Reparse Point, Attributes: n/a, ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete, AllocationSize: n/a

Is the existence of RPAWINET.DLL in the arcsoft bin directory the test to see if it is installed?

I have already tried adding Program files\common files\arcsoft\bin to the path before running eac3to -test. I have also tried copying the 4 mag*.dll files into the eac3to folder from arcsoft. As I mentioned earlier, the codecs are registered (I had to manually register them using regsvr32). I didnt register all of them (only the ones that seemed to be needed for video and audio playback), but will try that later.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Madshi

I didn`t tried new eac3to, but is it possible to "mark" subtitles which have forced subs inside by filename ?

I would like to see if thes special track is ONLY forced, or it is normal subs with forced inside.

Could be nice to know sometimes. Could you add this if it make sence to you?

BTW:

My Virus-Scanner shows now some funny Warning:

Madshi wants to take controll of all our Computers
