What is the title of your BluRay disc?
The time difference is playlist 1 has "Columbia Pictures" intro, and 2) has "Sony Pictures Classics".

Also, one other thing I didn't notice last night in tsMuxeR... 00011.m2ts has a slightly different order to the tracks as the rest of the m2ts files in 1). Same goes for 2).

The movie in question is CJ7... I just wasn't sure I was allowed to post titles.

and yes, I saw it yesterday. With the 'March of the Pengiuns' German version, Kinowelt have added a 13 second trailer to the start of the film. There were 3 playlists all with 00026.mts (from memory). The chapter points are different.

1) 1:22:26 mins long one with the trailer.
2) can't remember
3) 1:22:15 mins long - was clearly the original film without the trailer

However on demuxing either 1) or 3) I always got the longest version.

I can update the post later with the logs.
LOL... i posted my initial concern just before bed, I was pretty tired... now that you all know my true identity... I must kill you!!!... Just kidding.

I'm pretty sure I know why, the first m2ts in each playlist is different from the rest of the m2ts' in rest of the movie. I'm pretty sure manually demuxing the rest, excluding the first m2ts will work... I just haven't tried yet.

I am working with CJ7 too. I think the only way to get this going properly is to manually demux, excluding the first m2ts file. Then remux with tsMuxeR, then feed that structure into BD-rebuilder.

Thanks for the responses people.

DTS Encoding

I've searched through this thread and found conflicting opinions re Surcode as a DTS Encoder.
For example, the 2 below....

One poster states :
Quote:
"Also I wouldnt use Surcodode DTS Encoder. Its a low quality and outdated encoder. And you cant encode dts es 6.1 with Surcode"
While another states :
Quote:
A dts file created from surcode will most definitely sound better than a core ac3 file if the source is the same. Such as a lossless audio track, like true hd. Remember, there is no magic way the studios have to encode an ac3 file. The same could be said of dts. Surcode outputs the same dts file as a studio would(if not very, very, close)
Which of these opinions have most of you found to be the most accurate ?

My goal is to convert/recode a 1536 dts file to a 768 bitrate. I've been using eacto_more gui , Sonic to decode and Surcode to encode, so am curious if this is the best way or is their another simpler one I should be using ? Thanks

I'd listen to a 640 AC3 soundtrack, and compare it to a 768dts. I'd think they'd be about the same, and the 640 would probably be better (done by the dvd mixing company).

I was looking to decode the MP3 Surround files from the diatonis web site (http://www.diatonis.com/downloads.html), but I don't know if the process I'm using is correct concerning the channel ordering.

Only the Fraunhofer decoder package can decode MP3 Surround files to actual 5.1-channel PCM Waves, but while the output files have WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE headers, the channels aren't defined. Running these Waves through eac3to produces files with the channels defined, but I have no idea if the Fraunhofer decoder reorders the channels or not (I would assume it does, though, if that's needed; however, I'd rather ask and be certain than just assume things).

OS - Windows 7.
eac3to doesn't see Nero Audio Decoder (Nero 6 or older). But I have Nero 7.11.10.0 and the Blu-ray/HD-DVD plug-in registered.
It works fine on Vista.

Is there any decision for Windows 7?

Sure was cool when the latest version of eac3to worked via wine.

Are there any known problems when demuxing a 7.1 source track such as a DTS-MA 7.1 into wav files with EAC3TO?

The wav output from the command line mp3sDecoder.exe have the WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE header, but the MaskChannel field have a value of '0' and can be rejected by some audio soft.

I make a test with mp3sEncoder -> mp3sDecoder and the channel order is correct then you can use eac3to to obtain a wav with a correct MaskChannel value:
MaskChannels : 1551 (FL FR FC LF SL SR)

Other correct value for MaskChannel is:
MaskChannels : 63 (FL FR FC LF BL BR)

You need use ArcSoft decoder.

This:
"Using eac3to with ArcSoft decoder there are a problem, the Side and Back channels are interchanged"

Was solved with a more recent version of dtsdecoderdll.dll

Thanks. So the difference between the two is basically the difference between Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 configurations?

TMT 3 has version 1.1.0.1 of "dtsdecoderdll.dll"
TMT 3.5 has version 1.1.0.10 of "dtsdecoderdll.dll"

have you tried this new versions?

the latest 1.1.0.10 doesn't work with eac3to though. anyway, it's interesting if they fixed the problem with DTS-HD MA tracks reported by eac3to as "7.1 (strange setup)". as you know such tracks are not bit-perfect decoded by old 1.1.0.0 versions of "dtsdecoderdll.dll"

What?
Don't exist difference between Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 or any 5.1 config, is always 3 front channels, 2 surround channels and LFE.
The Surround channels must be at +-120º from Central channel (more or less)

With 7.1 config the order in wav files is: FL FR FC LF BL BR SL SR
and mean:
BL BR = Back Channels at 150º (more or less)
SL SR = Side Channels at 90º (more or less)

Like you can see don't exist (in wav specs) a exact correspondence with Surround channels in 5.1 (120º)
Before XP SP2 the FL FR FC LF BL BR maskchannels was used for 5.1, after the FL FR FC LF SL SR was recommended but the previous one is also accepted.

Nope, I'm not very interested in 7.1 DTS-MA, I only have 5.1 systems and the 'core' DTS (or AC3) is enough for my old ears.

Sorry.

Maybe the new version can decode titles like Black Hawk Down DTS-HD MA 7.1 without the static noise that is introduced when decoded now.

for me the 5.1 LPCM track of the US disc sounds better anyway, maybe its just a crappy made 7.1 track
