And looking back at your post from 24th September 2007, 23:56: Quote:
I find it especially rich that you claim that the latest versions of madshi's work "added only bloat". He's working on this for free, and you get even the full source code. I don't think you're in a position to discard his work in such a way. Last edited by honai; 25th September 2007 at 23:19. |

I read somewhere that with sonic audio decoder can I can actually use the DD+ track, it is able to decode it. is this right and can I benefit from this track with this decoder already fully, meaning hes able to decode & output 'everything there is' additionally compared to an ac3 only track?

eac3to v1.16 released
http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip This version can now fully decode demuxed TrueHD files from both HD DVD and Blu-Ray!! That means: Sony TrueHD tracks can now be decoded bit perfectly because Sony doesn't use Dialog Normalization. Sadly, for other studios TrueHD decoding still isn't bit perfect because the Nero Audio Decoder does post processing (Dialog Normalization). Here are test results with "The Fifth Element (Remastered)": (1) Original 20bit TrueHD track in m2ts container: 4.12GB. (2) Demuxed TrueHD track: 3.36GB. (3) TrueHD after removal of interweaved AC3 frames: 2.81GB. (4) 20bit TrueHD reencoded to FLAC: 2.54GB. (5) 16bit LPCM track reencoded to FLAC: 1.55GB. From the numbers it seems that TrueHD decoding is perfect for Sony Blu-Ray tracks. Now if only I knew how to remove Dialog Normalization for Blu-Ray tracks of other studios... |

I've hit a serious snag while trying to back up the Cantonese audio from "Kung Fu Hustle" on Blu-Ray. The goal is a standard, ordinary 5.1 AC3 file, since it's just for backup.
The "Lossless PCM" track is 5.1 audio, and Power DVD info tells me it's LPCM. I Demux this track with TSremux, and call it "Kung Fu Hustle.pcm". Using Eac3to (the latest as of this date), this is what it gives me: Code:
C:\temp\TEST>"C:\VIDEO\Rippak\EAC3TO\eac3to.exe" "C:\temp\TEST\Kung Fu Hustle.pc m" "C:\temp\TEST\Kung Fu Hustle.ac3" -448 -orbitlee -16 -big RAW, 5.1 channels, 1:39:04, 16 bits, 48khz Converting the raw file to wav. Please wait... Converting the wav file to ac3. Please wait... Aften: A/52 audio encoder Version 0.0.8 (c) 2006-2007 Justin Ruggles, Prakash Punnoor, et al. Warning, unsupported file size. input format: WAVE Signed 16-bit little-endian 48000 Hz 5.1-channel output format: 48000 Hz 3/2 + LFE SIMD usage: MMX SSE SSE2 SSE3 Threads: 2 progress: 0% | q: 188.4 | bw: 34.0 | bitrate: 448.0 kbps Done. When I play back the RAW PCM file, and it's garbled digital sound (I think it's supposed to at this stage). I play back the resulting AC3 file from running Eac3to, and it's still garbled, though I can hear the sound some in the background (but it is still digital noise). On the AC3, it turns into an audible BUZZZZZZ sound. I am fairly sure that it is 16-bit instead of 24 bit, because when I select that, the timecode becomes correct in Eac3to's status, and the resulting AC3 matches the movie (on 24-bit, it doesn't). This does no good, when the sound is digital mish-mash. :P I have tried both 24-bit and 16-bit, big endian, little endian, as well as forcing either the nero filter or the orbitlee filter. The result is the same: the AC3 has an audible BUZZZZZZ and is digitally garbled. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Hopefully the copied info above may be able to help? Thanks in advance...

Can anyone help at all??
I know most of you are far ahead with regards to HD and making it WMV and what not with the 5.1 audio but im finding myself having serious problems here. I am following a persons tutorial on converting HD-DVDs to WMV HD with 5.1 audio channels http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123010&page=5 thread no. 87. Now I have got to the very last stage of the tutorial but when I attempt to transcode I get this error... C:\HD>eac3to.exe "C:\hd\PEVOB_1_MERGED.DD+.stream.00.ddp" "C:\hd\output.wav" E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 2:16:18, 640kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB Remove Dialog Normalization information. Please wait...

If anyone could give me any input with this I would really appreciate it because to be honest im all out of idea's. |

Your first command already failed so there's no use in continuing with the others.
The error code seems to indicate that you don't have Nero installed on your system. Once you install it you should get to a point where it says something like "expected 4GB file, but got 0 byte". And that's about as far as you're gonna get! |

I just used eac3to on a demuxed truehd .mpa (superman returns) and it worked fine. However, it produced a 24bit flac. If the thd is 16 bit, should I be using the -16 switch? Or do the nero decoders only output 24bit?
