Definitely use FLAC. There's nothing else that's better while being open source and widely supported. For stereo music, file size is around 60% using FLAC compared to WAV.

I'm trying to rip a Blu-ray using HdBrStreamExtractor (which is a GUI for eac3to) and I'm getting the following error. I also tried ripping the same blu-ray with anotherEac3to GUI and Blu-rip and all failed with the same error. It seems like eac3to does not like extracting the audio which is in Mayan language. Any suggestion ?

It's nothing to do with the audio. eac3to (or specifically the haali muxer) doesn't handle some AVC streams when muxing to mkv. The Apocalypto blu-ray is one of these types.

Demux to raw AVC and then mux with mkvmerge.

Earlier post by madshi explains the error:

"There's a bug in the Haali Matroska Muxer which results in a total freeze when muxing some h264 movies. eac3to detects this situation and aborts processing directly before the Haali Matroska Muxer freezes. Currently there's no way to properly mux such a movie with eac3to respectively with Haali's Matroska Muxer. You can use the option "-seekToIFrames" to mux the movie in a different way. This should succeed. However, this comes at a cost: Sometimes when seeking such a movie there are very noticable image artifacts for a short time (max a few seconds). Haali knows about this problem but hasn't fixed it yet, sadly."

I used the "-seekToIFrames" option and it works fine and i haven't yet had any problems with artifacts.

I have a mono (1.0) DTS-HD Master audio file I'm trying to decode and it won't work. The output is:
Code:
"The ArcSoft DTS Decoder reported an error while decoding.  Aborted file at position 262144."
Tried it directly from the m2ts file and it gave the same error, just a different position number. Eac3to shows the correct info about the file, but the decoder doesn't like it. Anything else to try here? I want lossless, I don't wan't just the core!

Hehe I am ripping my hair out trying to find the sonic decoder. I don't even know what to look for. I am trying to get Cineplayer HD-DVD Player 4.2 with no luck so far. And I'm sure once I do, it probably won't work.

Well I found it, and I am ripping my hair out once again trying to figure out why it won't work. It's giving a "can't find mfc71.dll" error when I run "eac3to -test" and it gets to the part where it checks the sonic decoder.

The mfc71.dll error is gone, and I found 4.3.0.169. This version is showing as installed but not working in eac3to as well. Would this have anything to do with having an x64 version of windows? I can use the sonic filter in graphedit but it makes a 16-bit file, not 24 The sonic decoder is only decoding the core of the dts file. HELP!!!

I must be blind. Again. Please tell me how do I create six WAV files decoded from a 6ch dts source?

I always end up with one (probably 6-ch) wav file when I use "eac3to input.dts output.wav". I only get 6 intermediate wave files when I set .dts as output format to feed the dts encoder directly afterwards.
But I dont want that, because my DTS encoder is on another machine where I'd like to import those WAV's.

Looks like a corrupted or broken track. You could try to re-rip the track, since you own the original disc. Or, better than that, you could rip the TrueHD track directly to FLAC, using eac3to.

But of course, it was the first thing I've tried to no avail.

Already done. The question is how am I to be sure if it's b0rked or not.

Post the log (Just as you did for the ripped-to-harddrive version)...

What happens if you convert to flac without demuxing the track first?

Also, since the source file in the command line is a .ac3 I find it strange that it says the content is TrueHD. I thought the had a .thd extnsion.

That's brilliant. Just tell me what command line to use to achieve that.

And I thought file's being recognized by its headers, not the extension.

This line from the log certainly doesn't indicate that the source is your original disc (as I suggested you use)...

eac3to DiscFolder shows the playlists
eac3to DiscFolder 1) shows the tracks in the playlists
eac3to DiscFolder 1) 3:audio.flac encodes the third track in the first playlist to flac

Well that depends, doesn't it? I suspect eac3to does, but if you double click on a file with a .doc extension I wouldn't expect a media player to pop up even if the file is actually an .mp3, at least not on windows.

Anyway what software did you use to extract the audio? Did that software put the wrong extension on the file or did you do that?

Obviously you should learn a bit about the file assotiation per se and how it works.

Let me get this straight — you're claiming that extension is a problem there?
