The DelayCut log show error messages?

Without problems also here with your sample:

If you cut the ac3 file maybe the problem is after than the first 938 frames.

here it is the log file:

it don't show errors..even just processing throws error.. i'm quite sure during the execution the process throw an exception not handled and stop working...
because if i run via command line the process crashes and windows shows me... instead if i run it from the gui the exception is catched..
it only happens in 1.4.3.3.. with 1.3.0 it works well..
i'm downloading qt sdk to see if i can load it in vs and find out the error..

The processing code doesn't even use exceptions so it's not a case of exceptions being thrown and either not caught or being caught and suppressed. Do you possibly get a crash dump when the GUI crashes? Without more information or a sample that can reliable reproduce there's not much I can do.

The frame-length created by Surcode/Suite for, 5.1 48 KHz 768, is 1006 (actual bitrate 754.5)

ArcSoft decoder crash when found a frame with different length than first frame (also NicDtsSource crash, libav work without problems).

DelayCut can delay dts's created by Surcode/Suite, but not with dts's created by dcaenc.

Well then what I may just have to do is create that "truckload" of silent frames if dcaenc won't work or just create only those silent frames that match the formats supported by DVD/BD and just warn that for any other bitrate/sampling rate/channel mapping that you may end up with a non-compliant stream. Right now it just has the 768kbit/48k 6 channel and 1536kbit/48k 6 channel frames. I have access to surcode so it wouldn't be hard to generate silence frames to match all other DVD/BD supported formats. That's a shame, too. Still an interesting encoder, though.

the strange thing is that the guy don't crash... it only crash through command line... but from the gui still not work..i can try to debug if i understand how qt works.. i installed the libraries for vs 2010 but i don't know how to compile it..

Do you see in errors in the info window when you load it? What does the GUI do when you click process? If you need you might have to post the whole file because that sample doesn't trigger anything. I really want to help you, but I'm lost on my end in reproducing. Using it through CLI that sample processes just fine and I get a fixed file just like through the GUI.

If you're going to use my solution file that you can pull down from Github you're going to want to also install the Qt VS Add-in so you can easily select your Qt version and you'll need to create static versions of the Qt DLLs which means you're going to have to compile Qt yourself from source.

Yes it's what i'm trying to do but i'm facing some problem..

maybe you can do an executable to me to find out exactly where the process crash..

Adding frames to dts (Bluray 768) makes the file incompatibile with avisynth (behappy) and arcsoft (eac3to).
The file is played fine with foobar (dts.dll) and decoded fine with libav (eac3to).
Dunno if using behappy the problem is avisynth or nicaudio.
Anyway the original dts is decoded fine from every filter before using delaycut to fix missing frames.
This append also with old delaycut 1.3.1.0

Also less important...
A missing one from old delaycut is drag and drop.

thanks

Yes, the DTS issue is something we discussed before and something I'll be addressing. It will be after I finish a couple of other issues and after I commit what I also have fixed locally.

Huh? Drag and drop is supported in this version just like in the old. You can drag to either the input or output text fields and it'll use that to open the file.

text?
In the old version:
drag and drop the file into the window will load the file naming output automatically adding "_fixed" at the end of it and saving in the source path without selecting any text for input.
Why i should use a text as input when is easier open the source with browse button?
Drag and drop the source into the window is the faster method.
thanks

"input or output text fields" = the field for the input/output, text just because you see a text an not i.e. a picture that in the gui representing the input.
I agree: drag&drop works fine. (dragging a ac3/dts/.. file and dropping it on the input/output fields, fills the fields,..)
->XMEN4 try it before complaining,...

I've mistaken the meaning of text field.
Anyway...
It does not load any file draggin into the window with 1.4.3.3...that's why say that
It loads only if i center the input field perfectly...not the whole window

[Selur]

works fine with v1.4.3.2 though

I don't know if I answered this before, but yes it can assuming you have encoded the mp3 file with the protection bit set which the file you are having the fixcrc problem with does not have set. So ultimately fixcrc is not going to work with your file anyway since it has no CRC info in the header. I've got a fix at least for the programming stalling so it will actually finish, but unfortunately from what I can see nothing can be done to salvage your file since it's so broken. Even with my fix from getting the processing to finish you get no actual output since there is nothing in the file that can be recovered (even 1.2.1.2 if you hit abort when it stalls at 100% has produced a 0 size file as well) and even eac3to errors out in trying to convert it. Though the file plays just fine in MPC-HC so the decoder must be much more error resilient. So I will put it on the TODO list to see if this can be improved but for now the hanging is fixed at least.

Also, there was a bug in the detecting of whether to enable the CRC error options and this is fixed locally so even files that should have triggered that to be enabled, such as ac3 files, did not do so because of a weird logic bug in translating the code over. I've got pretty much everything fixed up for a next release locally I just need to get some last minute cleanup before pushing the next version out.

Phate, did you end up getting any info from your issue?

[Selur]

Thanks for fixing the main problem and it would be nice it delaycut cut also output some sort of 'error message' when used through the console if it encounters such a problem and outputs a 0 byte file.

That's one of the cleanups that I'm still working on before pushing this out. I'm also adding a help switch so that the README isn't the only place to find info on the CLI switches. The silent fail or silent completion is something that definitely needs to be remedied. The big thing is just making sure that the output and error messages are well worded so that's taking a bit of refinement to get right. After that the last thing I need to get incorporated is the new behavior for how cut and delay values are done that was discussed a page or so back. Once that is done I'll push out the newest bug fix version and start working on those enhancements still listed on github.

[phate89]

No i still can't compile qt to run it in vs...if i try to just debug the exe with command line switches i don't know why it didn't run at all..btw i didn't had a lot of time to try..

Posted the wrong file the first time so I'm posting this again. If you were quick enough to grab it, download again before testing.

I'm still working on getting pushed the extra CLI output, the change to the delay/cutting behavior and a few other cleanups, but here, mirror here is an intermediate test version that has the rounding fixes, the hang fix for Selur's file, fixes the GUI so the CRC options will enable when they should. Let me know if you find any regressions, new bugs, etc. I promise to get the rest of the stuff finished soon.
