Would it be possible to add a new command line option, say -plain, that outputs chapters with only the timestamps, one on each line?

Strat Pack Concert on Blu-Ray has the multi-channel AC3 and DTS MA being reported as 5.0 by eac3to. Apparently missing LFE channel.

Madshi: Thought it was a little weird so I've attached a 40 MB clip, just so you could confirm.

I got around it by forcing 6 channels. madflac didn't like the result with only 5 channels.

@madshi,
Just fyi, I just grabbed the latest Matroska splitter and, after the install, decided to run -test and go this:
Code:
Haali Matroska Muxer (2009-01-10) is installed
  There's a new version (2009-01-11) available  <WARNING>
  http://haali.net/mkv  <WARNING>
It may not even be an issue with eac3to, but wanted to let you know. Also, note the "<WARNING>" in the log. This is fine on-screen and only shows up in the log.

madshi, does eac3to remove some for decoding unnecessary nal unit types, such as access unit delimiter, or multiple sps/pps nalus, when extracting an avc-stream from an BD-m2ts to a raw-stream, or is it a 1:1 extraction?

e.g.
eac3to src.m2ts 1: dest.h264

greets
LTJ

Haali website and file dates are different. Nothing Madshi can do about this. It's been discussed a few pages back.

perhaps you have to use '+' in that case, ',+960'

Madshi, how about a conversion option from hd-dvd dd+ to bd version? I would assume it'd be similar to the thd+ac3, as it looks like dd+ for blu-ray needs the core as well. I would assume this would be loss less to convert from dd+ to dd+ blu-ray fmt.

Thanks!

madshi again awesome work, i cant praise eac3to enough, coupla quick questions:

Are you able to implement a version check? that at runtime checks your download site for a newer version and notifies with a beep or blue text or something...

And do you ever intend on implementing audio packing to mkv container with the video stream?

eac3to is indeed awesome but it relies on external encoders and as far as I know there isn't a freely available encoder for Blu-ray DD+, like there is for AC3 (unless you have a handy $2900 for the official Dolby encoder). If we could encode DD+/TrueHD/DTS-HD then the world would be a much better place!

The external software is what's getting me, as well. Is there any alternative to the Nero HD-DVD/Blu-Ray plug-in... that's not even for sale, anymore.

I've been contemplating the Surcode DTS plug-in for a while, now; but the actual advantage over AC-3 (which I can already encode through Vegas) isn't worth the money, for what I do.

I agree, though, TrueHD and DTS-HD encoders would be great.

For what TrueHD and DTS-HD if we have FLAC?

What about the AV recievers that can natively decode the DTS and AC3 varients?

Not everyone watches movies on a PC....

I don't plan that right now. Due to how eac3to is designed, it's difficult to implement input piping. Output is easy, but input is not.

Please try playing the file with Haali's MKV splitter. Does that play fine? If both mkvtoolnix and Haali's MKV splitter can read the files fine then it's probably a bug in mplayer/mencoder.

In tsmuxer, I have the vc1 file, .ac3 file, .eac3 file, and subtitles. It sees it no problem as an dolby digital+ file, and everything works as it should, creating the blu-ray disk structure.

Is dd+ broken in tsmuxer as well, or is eac3to not outputting a flavor of eac3 that tsmuxer likes, or???

I'm using eac3to 3.03, and tsmuxer 1.8.8b.

According to the wiki, blu-ray supports dolby digital+.
Blu-Ray does support DD+, but it's a whole different format compared to HD DVD. So HD DVD DD+ and Blu-Ray DD+ are not compatible and can not be converted into another.

Which is to say, it is set to the length of the first part (~13 mins). Even though the movie plays/streams in full, I can't seek (PS3 = 'Go To') beyond the 13 minutes marker.
There's not enough information for me to help. What exactly did you ask eac3to to do and what other tools did you use to create a PS3 compatible file?

What did madFlac do? It should play the file just fine - just as 5.0 and the audio renderer may not like this format. You can try chaining the ffdshow raw audio processor into your playback chain and letting is add an empty LFE channel or something like that...

AUDs are not removed. The only thing removed by eac3to is padding. And I think I recently added some code to remove double sequence headers in the beginning of a h264 stream, but only there and it only occurred with a strange broadcast. I'd consider eac3to's h264 demuxing 1:1, except for removed padding.

Doing "edit=0:00:00.000,960ms" is a weird way of doing "+960ms", just use the latter instead. The other two edits don't work because eac3to wants to loop audio to do a (positive) edit. For that to work the runtime after which you do the edit must be bigger than the edit duration, or else the looping buffers can not be properly filled.

It's already there, just do "eac3to -test".

eac3to v3.04 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

Code:
* video track framerates are now shown with up to 3 decimals, if necessary
* m2ts/TS framerate is determined by interpreting video track timestamps
* m2ts/TS framerate is displayed in the format description (if available)
* warning is shown if container timestamps don't match video framerate
* warning is shown if video bitstream has a non-standard framerate
* video without framerate information: container framerate is used
* video without framerate information: framerate can be set (e.g. "-23.976")
* video without framerate information: new framerate is written to bitstream
* remaining non-fixed audio delay is now shown in log
* command prompt colors are restored after eac3to has run through
* fixed: 2-pass processing for stripping zero bytes sometimes crashed
* fixed: CA (Conditional Access) tracks were shown as "Unknown audio track"

would it be possible to add a switch into eac3to that can reset/change the video full range flag? some .ts files display the wrong black levels when played on nmt.
Thanks

Presence of "-silence" makes no difference. Is this a bug?

Can't recall fully (I'm just the messenger), but I think it had something to do with tsmuxer only accepting chapters in that format.

I know, 'stop being and edit the chapters yourself' is probably what you'd (or I'd) say, but I promised I'd ask.
