This post may prove of use to some of you that keep on getting this audio raw expected file size error. I had the problem once when I was doing EVO to WMV with 5.1. Now I will assume that the people having these errors are doing it with 5.1 audio. The way I got around this problem was making sure that EAC3TO, SOX and WAVAVIMUX was installed to the same folder as your audio and video sources that you are transcoding from. I was using Nero 7.10.0.1 with the BluRay HD DVD Plugin aswell which is crucial. Make sure that the file name of the audio file that it is you are trying to transcode is not a long file name and change it to something small and simple if you can.

But remember DO NOT INSTALL WAVAVIMUX to the Windows Media Encoder components folder and instead to the folder you are working from along with all your other files.

i don't get this, i don't need wavavimux right?
And eac3to refers to it's own subfolders to sox or aften when needed right?

I am not too sure about the runnings and how it all connects but whatever 5.1 audio file I am doing with EACH3TO all I do is make sure that EAC3TO, EAC3TO GUI, SOX and WAVAVIMUX is all based in the same folder as the files im working on. I am not saying this method may nesscarily work for you but it did for me when I got that error. Also make sure you have the Nero BluRay HD DVD plugin (must be geniune) Also please note that EAC3TO does not work or function properly with Nero 8.

So i kinda gave up on nero, i just can't get it to work, showtime plays HD content fine tho. And yes it's a legit version.

using -orbitlee -sonic is working now, but as mentioned in startpost it automagically applies DRC to the track which is catastrophic ofcourse.

I found this site:
http://codec.kiev.ua/mpeg2.htm

somewhere near the bottom :
Nero Suite ShowTime v.5.2.1.0 CE

Would this be usable? (and free!)

Have you bought the HD DVD / Blu-Ray plugin?

No, it's not usable. And I don't think that that site is legal.

If you use the EAC3TO GUI then you may be able to stop the DRC entirely. Im sure it has something about DRC in there.

How can I tell whether or not I have the hd-dvd plugin? All I see under my product license is Nero 7 Ultra Edition (I was under the impression that the hd-dvd plugin came with it).

Unfortunately not. You do have to purchase the BluRay HD DVD Plugin seperately and it comes in the form of a serial that you enter at NeroProductSetup. The PlugIn cost me £14.99 when I purchased it and that was 2 months ago. You will have to purchase it.

When youve the Plugin installed you can see it under your Licenses in NeroStartSmart!
The must be Nero HDDVD/Bluray Plugin

When its not there ...youve no Plugin installed

Yes, it never come with a standard Ultra/premium Version.
You must by it seperatly

If I purchase the Bluray/HDDVD Plugin, will Nero ShowTime be able to play the mkv file with eac3 audio?

I don't know exactly what Nero ShowTime will or will not be able to do. I'm only using the Nero Audio Decoder. But I'm planning to (still didn't find the time to do so) release a little tweak that allows using the Nero Audio Decoder inside of Media Player Classic and ZoomPlayer etc with DRC turned off. This tweak will only work for Nero 7, though.

@ Madshi

I don't understand why the trueHD track has to muxed into an .evo container before converted to wav/flac.
I know that the initial .evo has to demuxed in order to remove the dialog norm, but i don't get why it has to muxed again.

Thanks!

There's no other way (that I know) to feed the Nero Audio Decoder with the TrueHD data. It only accepts input from the Nero Splitter and the Nero Splitter doesn't handle demuxed TrueHD files.

It just looked odd to me. I see now. Thanks for the clarification.

These pics are from the "Letters from Iwo Jima" HD DVD.
It contains an eac3 and a trueHD track.
I demuxed both with latest version of eac3to using nero filters.

eac3 track


trueHD track


How do you explain that eac3 has higher picks than trueHD? Is this random (has to do with the specific movie)?

About calculating the delay: Have you ever find an eac3 track that needs to be delayed?

I'm not totally sure about that. I think I did compare TrueHD vs. E-AC3 and they had identical peaks to me, but it's some time ago so I'm not really sure. Maybe you can check again with the next movie? I don't think this is caused by a bug in eac3to, but I'm not sure 100% about that, either...

I think I've had some E-AC3 tracks which needed a delay. It's rather the exception than the rule, though.

what is actually needed for TrueHD 7.1 support for eac3to ?
does eac3to actually differentiate between dts-hd hr and MA and that 16-bit downsampling applies only to HR, or does it apply to both?
