The field info at header is useless, any DTS, also the core or with original bitdepth 16 bits, must be decoded to 24 bits to preserve the maximum precision.

The free dts decoders, at least, never read this field to output a bitdepth or other.

I know.
I spoke about core extraction - a procedure at which does not have decoding. I do not understand what for to change something in an original file of a core.

Hey madshi I have a script which parses the output of eac3to to automatically add video/audio information to a database. This worked beautifully up to 3.15. For some reason PHP (the language the script is written in) will not capture any of the output from 3.16. Are you doing something different with the output now? I've tried redirecting output, which didn't work. According to PHP the program has no output, except my command line window says something different :P

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to upgrade if possible

Thanks!

You can use the eac3to parameter:

-log="X:\folder\file.log"

to obtain the output in a logfile.

That's exactly what I did. Weird. I'll try it again after reinstalling TMT3 and see if it's some sort of conflict. Thanks for the help.
sorry but I forgot that this checkactivate.dll file is also required.

Yes, I can confirm the same. I'm using the ShellExecute method from a .NET 2.0 front end, and the last line of eac3to.exe 3.16's output is not present when reading StdOut.

I have reverted to 3.14 for the time being.

Would demuxing a TrueHD stream, using 384kb/s as the core... as opposed to 640kb/s have a negative effect on the performance of the TrueHD stream?

I often include TrueHD audio on DVD9 recodes, using a 384k core would save some MBs.

Thanks.

...will demux those tracks.
Got to try that out.

AC3 audio output from 3 dual channel MP2 files

Here is the situation. I have a transport stream that has three MPEG-2 audio streams that comprise the 6 channels for AC3 encoding. They map as follows:

1) L/R
2) C/LFE
3) LS/RS

How do I tell eac3to to use those three dual channel streams as input to aften AC3 encoding?

Can it even be done?

Thanks.

The core stream shouldn't have any affect on the TrueHD stream at all. Obviously your core stream won't sound quite as good, but if you are playing the THD anyway, that shouldn't matter.

So can the dialnorm info be restored to the file if eac3to has removed it? How would you restore it if its possible?

No, from the original source disk, using the option " -keepDialnorm ".

Also, log file created when you ran eac3to will have the dialnorm setting. I don't know of any way to put it back into the stream.
