The external decoder is only needed if you want to decode the full DTS-HD.

I don't have any idea about size difference between DTS and AC3, if size is similar yes it doesn't make sense. But if there is a consequent difference, it could be util.
So if I want to convert DTS-HD to AC3, I need an external decoder but if I want to convert TrueHD to AC3, no need to an external decoder ? |

I mean from a compression point of view, compressing from DTS to AC3 is just reducing the audio quality (as you are compressing the original source twice). Compressing DTS-HD to AC3 would be a single compression step. You would need the Arcsoft decoder dll installed to facilitate working with DTS-HD.
TrueHD on Blu-ray will always contain an AC3 core which you can extract, there should be no need to encode anything. Cheers, -jj- |

dts-hd lossless
Cheers!
And thanx for your great tool! I have two questions about it: 1. is it possible to decode / export lossless dts-hd audio? I could not find a way to do so... 2. Is there a way to not have the "annoying" .log file? Any options to suppress the creation of it? All the best from Dammtor! SwK

After all, I have to specifically request eac3to to not create a file that I didn't ask for, which seems counterintuitive to me. And I must say, so far I have had absolutely no use for log files, because I always took the time to read what eac3to output to the console directly. And of course, I remember what my input command was (if necessary, I re-run it). |

Solution found to dsmux problem when going to certain hard drives. Threads found on this problem:
https://www.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1485220#post1485220 https://www.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1546026#post1546026 Solution was changing the storage controller driver that the hard drive was connected to. In my case, I was using the AMD AHCI RAID driver. I changed that to Microsoft's AHCI driver and the problem was resolved. It took a better part of an entire day to finally find a solution to this issue. I hope this helps someone that might run across this same issue. |

Hi, I have a bunch of AC3 files that I have to apply a delay to. I know I can use eac3to or delaycut to apply this delay.
The problem with delaycut is that it does not support batches and I have to apply the delay manually to each file (it works but its cumbersome). As for eac3to I know that Eac3to and More GUI support batches but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to use it to just apply a delay to my AC3 files. I am on Windows 8.1 Can anyone please advise on how to use the EAC3to GUI to apply this delay? I would prefer not to use the command line directly. Thanks.

I dont test it, you try this:
Code:
@echo off Title Add/Remove delay by Overdrive set /p delay="Insert delay in miliseconds (negative:-200 or positive:+200): " for %%@ in (*.ac3) do ( "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "%%@" "%%~p@\%%~n@_fixed.ac3" %delay%ms -silence ) pause&exit

In general, I would recommend using the audio skew value during multiplexing into the container, instead of manipulating the audio stream... but well, AC3 is famous enough to know the bitstreams of silence blocks for many channel configurations.
