HDConcertRipper
@Jeff Flowerday and others who have requested the ability to split eac3to output by chapter for concerts and such, I have whipped up a little GUI to do just that!
After selecting the disc to split, it lets you choose which audio stream to use and which chapters you want to output. You can also edit the metadata and chapter names. eac3to is then called to demux the disc, and HDCR then splits it into individual FLAC files. WMA9 Pro 5.1 is also supported for output, for those that have a receiver that can process it (Windows Media Encoder must be installed for this to work.) Currently HDCR only supports HD DVD, but Blu-Ray support is next on my to-do list.

@Madshi
I though that eac3to had died on me: Code:
eac3to.exe "D:\" CLIPINFO & PLAYLIST is there any chance of adding the '----' progress bar here too ? Thanks. |

Madshi,
First of all, thank you for a superb product. Second, I'm repeatedly getting a rather odd error that I haven't gotten in the past. The log file ends: Quote:
What can cause this, and how might it be solved? Could there be limitations in the hardware (the memory may be a bit low on the processing computer)? Last edited by Kythe; 21st February 2009 at 03:00. |

If the original DTS-HD track is 96khz then the core may be 96khz or 48khz. So extracting the core may be what you need - or not. Depending on how the studio encoded the track. eac3to lists both the core and DTS-HD track properties, so you always see whether the core is 96khz or not. Quote:

is it possible to generate a chapter list like this:
00:01:00.111 00:02:03.115 etc. without the chapter names, etc. This is useful for us converting to dvd as well. Not sure if can be done or not...jsut asking. |

As far as I'm concerned I've got a step in my demux batch script to zero pad any single digit filenames after the eac3to demux so I'm not bothered either way about this. |

Hello everyone, I have been lurking here for several weeks and trying to digest all the information you guys have given me.
Madshi, thanks so much for a wonderful tool this has helped out so much. I have been able to backup several of my HD-DVD movies and move them into MKV for playback on my Western Digital My TV, which I love. All of the discs with DD+ I am able to convert over to DTS and they play fine with very few errors. Although I am running into a problem, I do have 5 or so discs with Dolby TrueHD on them and I want to get those moved over to my WD as well. I have tried converting the audio to RAW, FLAC, PCM, and LPCM with no success. Every time I do I just get a Dolby Digital sound not the TrueHD sound that I am looking for. I have a Pioneer VSX-92 that supports all of the formats and would be able to decode the audio if only I could get it sent over. I am not concerned with space, since it's only 5 movies so 50 gigs per movie is not a big deal. I just want to know if it can be done. Currently I am backing the movies up with AnyDVDHD, then using EVOdemux to join the two EVO files, and remove the TrueHD track. I then open Eac3to and change the audio over to whatever format (PCM,LPCM,FLAC) then I use either TSmuxer to combine the files to make either an M2ts or a TS file, although I get an error in TSmuxer that says it "Can't detect stream type." I also use Ripbot 264 to create an MKV files, which like I said play fine, but it's not TrueHD. So my question is really, has anyone successfully been able to convert the audio and video into a container like TS or MKV? I appreciate your responses and I hope you will forgive my Newbiness. |

from WD i know only the HD TV: http://support.wdc.com/product/downl...d=1001&lang=en it's HDMI 1.2, no passthrough of THD & and other new stuff, so the problem is not with eac3to or your pioneer. |

(1) If you have floating point data where some samples have a peak which is out of spec, converting this audio data to PCM would result in clipping. Solving this problem is extremely easy: It's just lowering the volume of the whole track a little to make sure that no audio samples have too high peaks. This is an absolutely lossless process (if done in floating point). The signal is not changed (just the volume is changed), it is not a subjective thing, and nobody will hear the difference (except for the volume difference and the solved clipping artifacts, obviously). And no VST plugin can do that any better than eac3to. I would call this process "clipping prevention". (2) If you have a PCM track which was converted without "clipping prevention", then some VST plugins can detect that and can try to undo the damage. This is a complicated and error prone process which is difficult to do and really changes the signal. I'd call this "clipping repair". eac3to doesn't even try to do that. So again: There is no reason whatsoever to disable eac3to's clipping prevention system. It has no disadvantages (I know of). Except longer processing time, of course... And dithering: If eac3to is supposed to output PCM tracks from any source then there's no other way than to use dithering. It's a necessary evil if you want to reduce audio bitdepth or if you want to convert floating point audio data to PCM. If I removed dithering, eac3to would lose half of its functionality. Then send me a sample and I'll try to fix it. Last edited by madshi; 22nd February 2009 at 11:26. |

Hi, a newbie seeking advice. Hoping to convert arbitrary HDTV .ac3 (could be any kbs, #channels) to 224k 2-channel .ac3 but I am not sure what the options do. So far, I have guessed
Code:
"C:\SOFTWARE\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "T80 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3" "T80 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY 0ms-eac3to.ac3" -224 -down2 -mixlfe -resampleTo48000 +6db Can someone please explain and confirm I'm doing the right thing ? I gather DRC is a good thing since it lessens the difference between loud things such as bangs and normal speaking, so when increasing the volume so I can hear them speaking (I'm slightly deaf) it won't blow the family away when a bang occurs... is that right ? and if so, can we do DRC with eac3to ? (I only have the eac3to and no Nero etc). Last edited by halsboss; 22nd February 2009 at 12:56. |
