Recode always lose quality, but it's the best choice if you need that cut.

If you need more info please open a thread in video subforum, is off topic here.

Does anyone know if there are any risks or downside to demuxing from a share (LAN) or a mounted ISO?

It's not much different to copying files. Mostly sequential reading from one file, and mostly sequential writing into a few other files. I would try to avoid both reading and writing over LAN due to low speed.

Can someone clarify whether or not "Removing AC3 dialog normalization" affects TrueHD tracks? Or does it only affect the AC3 "core" track?

I was trying to convert a .ts file to mkv. I got a message about the audio track not being "clean". See below. What does that mean? Thanks and happy new year.

Code:
eac3to v3.34
command line: eac3to   war_requiem.ts 1: v.h264 2: a.flac
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TS, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 1:30:00, 50p
1: h264/AVC, 720p50 (16:9)
2: AC3, German, 2.0 channels, 448kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -23dB, 9ms

Video track 1 contains 270021 frames.
eac3to processing took 1 hour, 18 minutes.
Done.
[edit] the output flac from the command above was 270min - was supposed to be 90 min. Must be a bad audio stream in that .Ts file. I’ll post the mediainfo.

Your AC3 seems have some frames 2.0, but most of them are 5.1.

Extract and split the AC3 track.

Thanks for that tip. Which line in the mediainfo report caught your attention? I tried the SplitAc3 program. Here is the log:

[edit] looking at the splitac3 log, it seems like my tv signal got a bit corrupted — a little at the start, and a little at the end. It seems like splitac3 put 2ch samples in one output file, and 5.1ch samples in another file.

I could go back to the source .ts file, trim 2.304 secs from the start, preserve the next 5397280 ms (01:29:57.28), discard everything after that, and then extract the audio. Or, I could "zero-out" the first 2 frames (64ms) from the SplitAc3 5.1ch output, and everything after (64ms + 5397280 ms). Does this sound about right? How do I account for delays in the original audio stream? Thanks again.

Nothing in MediaInfo.
Is a typical problem, the output length is 3 times the expected because 5.1 have 3 times samples than 2.0

If you don't need the video I think is better cut the ts file, maybe commercials.

But if the video is OK you can use the 5.1 extracted by SplitAc3 with:

eac3to split51.ac3 one.ac3 -64ms
(the first 2 frames)
eac3to one.ac3 two.ac3 +2304ms
(audio/video delay)

And, maybe, you can delete the last 12 frames with DelayCut, only if sound bad.

Thanks for the tip. Video and audio recovered. SplitAc3 worked nicely - if'd be cool to have an option with that simple program to leave samples in contiguous numbered files.

Is there any plans to integrate eac3to with mkvextract/mkvmerge? I know it works with haali, but I wondered about the others too. Almost positive I read about this within the thread last year.

ffmpeg mkv muxing support would be easier.

I agree, Haali is dead, and Nero is dead as well, it's time to drop them.

mp4 muxing for avc/hevc would also be useful because LSMASHVideoSource/LibavSMASHSource can open it without indexing. (something I miss from the mkv format)

I like ffmpeg too. But I ended up at mkvmerge years ago, and the developer is pretty accessible via doom9.

Are there specific ffmpeg mkv capabilities that you use or prefer? Any capabilities that exist in ffmpeg but not in mkvmerge? Thanks.

I think the discussion was meant about muxing libraries which mkvtoolnix probably don't expose, the ffmpeg library for muxing/demuxing is called libavformat I believe.

At what point does it become easier to add eac3to features to ffmpeg than vice versa?

Who said that?

If you're referring to me, I said that it would be easier to add mkv muxing with ffmpeg (libavformat), as eac3to already uses ffmpeg for decoding.
