Here's how to get it working: 1. Uninstall all previous versions and do the cleanup steps listed in this thread. (Registry clean, delete orphaned directories, delete instances of "arcsoft" in the registry) 1.Download and install the old version of the TMT trial that was pulled from Arcsoft's site awhile ago: http://rapidshare.com/files/15529889...intro.exe.html 2. Do not run the program at this point - reboot 3. download this patch: http://www.arcsoft.com/downloads/dig...Update_ALL.exe and install it. Again, do not run program. Note that this step may not be necessary. Rijton reported that he did not install this patch and went right to installing the retail w/o problems. 4. Reboot 5. eac3to should work at this point. If you own TMT or TME retail, go ahead and install now.

Edit: Looking back over the ToNMT forums, I think it was QuickFix.cmd that I used. The .dpp track was first demuxed using eac3to then processed with QuickFix then finally remuxed into a BluRay structure using TSMuxer and played back on the PS3. My Denon 1909 picked up the DDP no problem. Last edited by idbirch2; 28th February 2009 at 11:27. |

Can eac3to slow down a DTS HD-MA track from 24 to 23.976fps without re-encoding to DTS 1536?
I only ask because the last time I played a 24fps BD on my NTSC setup the video had a slow but steady flicker which was quite annoying. |

Of course I cannot speak for TruckChase, but I uninstalled my retail version first, rebooted, then installed the trial version, rebooted and installed the retail again on top of the trial. I didn't use the update in between. In other words, I installed my retail .129 on top of the .120 trial and I now have a full-working (not trial) 2.1.6.129.
Btw, part of the credits must go to HDCompatible from abhdt.net: http://www.abhdtv.net/forum/showthre...t=12314&page=7 And I now understand the PATH thing, although it was not needed anymore. I now see PATH but with regards to Arcsoft only the path to Common Files\Arcsoft\Bin |

Hi,
Yesterday I did my first tests in converting a DTS MA audio track to a multichannel flac, which works fine at all. Nevertheless, when the converting process was finished, I ended up with a flac file, which has a bitdepth of 24bit, while eac3to told me, that the bitdepth of the original track was only 16bit. Since using 24bit in the flac file is a waste of space when the original bitdepth is only 16bit, I repeated the process using the -down16 parameter, and now everthing is fine. Both the original DTS MA audio track an the resulting flac file have the same bitdepth of 16bit. That brings up the question: Is it possible to use eac3to in a way, where a lossless track, like Dolby TrueHD or DTS MA, is decoded and analysed for it's bitdepth, while the resulting data is not written to the hdd and discarded instead ? This would make it possible to do a faster first pass to scan the track for it's bitdepth, and then do a second pass to convert the track in a flac file of the original bitdepth. C.U. NanoBot |

Hello to madshi and all of you...
i have a short question to subtitle demuxing: as far i have seen, in the output of eac3to's demuxed sup-files from blu-ray they contain the necessary PTS info but no DTS (decoder time stamp) information. I had some subtitles which do not play on my Samsung BD-P2500 (longer, more complex ones) (remuxed with tsMuxeR to BR-AVCHD). Why are the DTS fields always zero? When demuxing the same track with tsMuxeR, DTS info is present. If i use the tsMuxeR-demuxed source, then the subtitles are displayed correctly. Perhaps you can give me some info about this DTS information? Thank you very much for all the work on eac3to. |

quickfix does not convert the hd-dvd dolby-digital plus into something that blu-ray players can understand. At least that I can get to work.. Or... the PS3 doesn't like dolby digital plus. Arcsoft total media theater plays the files and or folder structures no problem. Shows up as dolby digital 1536k. When burned... no worky... |

What hardware and software players are you using? It might be useful to work out which ones either downconvert HD DVD DD+ to AC3 or pass them through a receiver. The hardware players that do may have a chipset in common etc. |

Software is PowerDVD 7.3 and Nero Showtime with the HD DVD/BD plugin. I recently did a load of movie only HD DVD to Blu Ray's with DD+ straight from the HD DVD's inc the Bourne Trilogy. |

I have a small but simple feature request
Please add support for -24.975fps source framerate (the product of RePAL'd material.) It would be very useful to be able to "-24.975 -ChangeTo24.000" in order to revert audio back to original film speed, to match RePAL+AssumeFPS(24) video. Thanks for the excellent tool! |

Hmm... another site shows: http://whatsonhdtv.blogspot.com/2008...ray-audio.html To date, Sony has not been terribly responsive to these suggestions. Other than confirming that: * of the four higher-resolution or lossless audio compression codecs, the PS3 can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, but not Dolby Digital Plus or DTS-HD High Resolution * the PS3 can pass through the four advanced audio compression codecs as bitstreams, rather than decoding them to linear PCM, but it can pass them through only in their "core" 5.1-channel, low-bitrate forms This explains why I won't get dolby digital plus on the PS3. It's not supported or decoded. (unless it's a real blu-ray dd+, with a core, and then it will spit out the core only) Has anyone else got a PS3 and dolby digital plus working? (from an hd-dvd rip?) |

The same .m2ts file would not play through a Sony BDP-S350 when burned to a BD-RE. It was silent (no audio), and video freezes playback after about 15 seconds. So obviously, the muxing isn't 100% compliant. Of course, there was no core AC3 stream in the .m2ts either, which also isn't BD compliant, so there's all sorts of places where the Sony might have a problem.

I also attempted to play the disk in the PS3 using bitstream, instead of linear pcm. Still didn't work. On the second attempt, it locked the PS3 up hard, and I had to flip the switch for a reboot. So, bottom line, some players will play the hd-dvd version of DD+, once properly flagged with quickfix.cmd, even though the DD+ isn't the "true" or "correct" version of DD+ meant for blu-ray. All we need now, is for Madshi to come up with a DD+ converter! Create a core from the hd-dvd DD+, then stick the extra bits on top of the core with some duct tape and spit. Ohh, and write a new firmware for the PS3 so I can play DD+. (minor detail I almost left out) Last edited by sidekick2; 1st March 2009 at 06:59. |

Hi everybody,
After converting a TrueHD track to flac the first time, I noticed, that eac3to is not showing the bitdepth of a TrueHD track in the track overview, while it does on DTS MA tracks. Nevertheless, eac3to is automatically doing a second pass to reduce the bitdepth of the output file to 16bit, if a 16bit THD was detected during the first pass, which is fine. Therefore it is necessary to rephrase my original question: Are the bitdepth values of DTS MA tracks, which are shown in the track overview, only nominal values, which are derived from the DTS header ? Or are these values absolutely reliable, so I can be sure that a DTS MA track really has the bitdepth indicated in the track overview ? If the indicated bitdepth value is only nominal, I would propose that eac3to should operate like with TrueHD tracks by automatically doing a second pass to reduce the bitdepth of the output file, if necessary. On the other hand, if the bitdepth values indicated in the track overview are reliable, I would propose that eac3to should automatically use the "-down16" parameter, if the bitdepth of a DTS MA track is indicated as 16bit.
