Music Fan, it is for muxing into mkv container. Haali Media Splitter replaces the older Haali Matroska Muxer.
I am now running into a new problem I hadn't noticed before on my prior install. When converting a DTS-MA track to mono wavs, I get the following warning from libDcaDec: "XLL output not lossless". I found this post that seems to be related: http://sasshkas.blogspot.com/2015/11...s-are-not.html Are we sure libDcaDec is just as accurate as ArcSoft? |

perhaps not so much the reason why you get the message, but more so that it shouldnt matter regarding the quality of the track.

The post you found talks about something else entirely. Yes.

Thanks. The message is a bit disconcerting. I wish I understood exactly what is happening but for now, I guess I'll just ignore it.
Now, every DTS-MA track I convert gives me this "XLL output not lossless" message. Does everyone else get this message every time too? Last edited by BigPines; 4th February 2016 at 17:56. |

Nope.
Apply DRC is intended to be used at play time, not at recode time. If you want use the DRC included in AC3 streams when recode you can use BeHappy or the old BeSweet. If you want apply something like DRC over any audio stream you can use Sox compand.

Thank you, I would like to apply DRC when converting DTS to AC3 (or AC3 to AC3 if necessary to apply DRC) so I think I should go to BeHappy thread ?

DRC info in DTS is optional, and most the times don't exist.
Then you can obtain the same output decoding with or without apply DRC. Quote:
Recode to AC3 don't have sense for me. I can recommend only when you want downmix to stereo. Then you can use BeHappy: 1) Load your AC3 source 2) Select NicAc3Source and Configure to "Down2, DRC" 3) Apply Normalize (100%) 4) Encode to AAC EDIT: for more info use BeHappy thread

dunno, but maybe it already works with "copy file1.mp3+file2.mp3+file3.mp3..."

If you do:
copy /B file1.mp3 + file2.mp3 output.mp3 - some tags at end of file1.mp3 are at the midle of output.mp3 - If are VBR, the duration of output.mp3 show only the duration of file1.mp3. And some players can stop play at this duration. You can use eac3to: eac3to file1.mp3+file2.mp3 output.mp3 - the tags at end of file1.mp3 are skiped - The problem with VBR duration still exist. You can use Foobar2000 and right click over the mp3 -> Utilities -> Fix VBR MP3 header

MP3DirectCut can also losslessly join two MP3 files (if they have been encoded exactly in the same way of course). You will have to copy the whole content of file 2, and paste it at the end of file 1, then save the complete audio. No problem with the tags or duration. Only the replay gain info (if any) may be wrong. And BTW, with the Copy /B trick (and perhaps also with eac3to), another problem exists. The bad samples at the end of the first file and beginnong of the second file are not removed, and a short silence may be perceptible. With MP3DirectCut, you cannot copy that part of the file (if it has been created with a good encoder), and there is no problem.
There are several versions of the MP3DirectCut program. I use the old one, still available here. The new version is here. I don't remember why I have preferred the old version. BTW, I've tried to remove one channel from a stereo MP3 without re-encoding, but I haven't found a tool to do it. It's useful when a mono track has been encoded in stereo, to regain disc space and be more coherent with the source. The two channels contain exactly the same data (or, with joint stereo, the second channel should be almost empty). Someone knows a tool able to do that?

Efficient MP3 encoders use Joint Stereo for audio which has probably similar channels, and use adaptively the Mid/Side encoding (not encoding the left channel separately from the right channel, but instead their sum and their difference, because the difference is probably rather low in comparison to the sum and thus needs less bitrate). What has not been encoded separately, cannot be separated without recoding.

I found this to be very slow. I'm not sure why and I didn't spend much time trying to figure out why. I had better luck dumping to an intermediate wave file and then encoding that with QAAC called via foobar. Despite two steps the latter was definitely faster.
