It's AAC LC-SBR, 2 channel, 48KHz according to YAMB.

LC-SBR and HE is the same.

The LC part is 24KHz (and some decoders/players only recognize this) and the high frequency go in SBR part.
Is not easy know when a aac audio file have SBR or not, in the ADTS header from aac the frequency are marqued as 24Khz.

BTW the support for AAC in eac3to is still limited.

Dear Madshi and all sound addicts @ doom9,

Thanks for this wonderful program eac3to. It's a really handsome tool for audio extraction and conversions !
I really like the command line utility. Plus I like the idea of bit perfect decoding from various formats ...

However, I have a small problem when opening .wavs created by eac3to in extraction;
when I try to open some 24/96 or 24/192 wavs in r8brain (wavs created by eac3to), r8brain pops up an error.
It's relative with the wav header I guess. When I open the "defective" wav in Wavelab, I have no problem, so I save the file again
in Wavelab without changing the bitrate or sample frequency, i.e. identical file, but now I can open them in r8brain and downsample
them in very high quality mode ... any thoughts on this ? Should I add a particular switch while doing the .wav extraction from .mlp
to get a r8brain compatible header ? Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Best regards,

narshorn

Try to add -simple switch, it should produce old fashioned WAV header, probably better compatible with r8brain.

More info on undocumented switches of this wonderful program can be found here

Just wanted to post the following issue that I found using eac3to (v3.14). The sample file that I have used can be found in the link here below.

http://rapidshare.de/files/46162759/extract.h264.html

- The sample is a part of a h264 file extracted directly from blu-ray using eac3to
- When performing the following set of commands on this sample:

Code:
eac3to extract.h264 extract.mkv
eac3to extract.mkv 1: extractfrommkv.h264
then you will notice that the result file "extractfrommkv.h264" is different from the original "extract.h264".

Looking a bit more in detail there is a sequence of 162 bytes added at specific places in the file, starting with the following 34 bytes:

Code:
00 01 27 64 00 29 AC 7B 01 E0 08 9F 97 FF 00 01 00 01 10 00 00 3E 90 00 0B B8 08 40 00 00 00 01 28 EA
The sequence is the same throughout the file and removing it will give back the original "extract.h264".

The issue has been introduced as of v3.07 (v3.06 works fine), and I think it happens only with AVC/H.264 encoded files with 2 Reframes. Did the test on 4 different films (directly from blu-ray), all with 2 reframes, and they all had the issue, i.e. a lot of artifacts during very fast-moving scenes.
Did some other tests with VC1, MPEG2 and higher-frame H.264 encoded files and did not find a difference between the files before and after the 2 eac3to steps provided here above.

Sorry for the long thread, but I hope this is enough information to easily pin-point the problem, otherwise I'm happy to provide more

I have problem when i try to demux TsMuxer created Blu-Ray.

Quote:
M2TS, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 1 subtitle track, 1:24:34, 24p /1.001
1: Chapters, 16 chapters
2: h264/AVC, 1080p23.975 (16:9)
3: AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48khz
4: Subtitle (PGS), English
v02 The video bitstream is encoded in a non-standard framerate.
v02 The video bitstream framerate field doesn't seem to match the timestamps.
but that is not true, i encode to H264 with x264 and input avs have parametar fps=23.976, all programs and players reconize as 23.976, aslo i tryed with checking changefps in TsMuxer and selecting 24000/1001, but still eac3to report message.

Second question is: why eac3to when extracting chapters not include final time anymore?

Here's my log -> http://pastebin.com/m2d93e154
Any ideas on this guys? I've never had a soundtrack do this and the loops do not appear to be on chapter or segment changes. I'm totally stuck although I have a few (dozen) old versions of eac3to I may try just for grins to see if this is something goofed recently... So far as I can tell this movie hasn't presented AnyDVD-HD any issues.

Alas, all the Nero Home junk (Scout, Indexing, and such) is installed regardless of all the extras being deselected. But yes, it can all be disabled and deleted manually.

However, for the smallest starting point follow my directions here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...postcount=8538

After that, Nero Burning ROM could be deleted to save a measly 20MB, essentially just keeping the Common Files including activation and filters (filters could potentially be trimmed down a bit but they are only 8MB as-is).

Hi!

It appears that you've used the wrong .MPLS- 00139. You should use 00138. Note the playtimes of each:

But Nero Micro is not a "product" afaict, does not come from Ahead, and thus all downloads of same are of suspicious origin.

Correct me, if I'm wrong, and/or provide a link to a good, legal copy of Micro?

Play time is listed as 110minutes on the box. The dialog is perfectly synched and correct up until the glitch occurs. When this occurs the audio from the very beginning of the movie - the Disney fireworks music - plays for a bit and then it jumps back to the correct point in the movie and dialog\effects\etc. is all correct and in synch. It's as if incorrect portions of the movie are being dropped into the midst of correct portions. Honestly I figured one of those features was say the Director's cut and the other was the release cut. I ripped both of them initially but erased them both and reripped with another copy of the media hoping for a fix, I can rip the 2hour version to see what it is easily enough I guess. The box doesn't mention that there are different cuts and I've nto tried it in my PS3 <sigh> In any case - sumthin' ain't right with the way it's ripping....

Indeed, it is not from Ahead. But like nLite or such, valid licenses are still required.

As DrNein already stated, Nero 7 Micro is not an official product from Ahead. Instead, it is a slimmed down installer provided from a third party. If you do not trust this installer, or if you are in doubt about copyright or license problems using such an installer, you possibly prefer to build your own installer using the NeroLiteSDK available here:

http://updatepack.nl/downloads/nero-lite/

With that SDK you are able to generate your own slimmed down installer from the latest official Nero7 update package.

I am using a similar configuration like DrNein described here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...postcount=8538

and I neither have problems to use the Nero EAC3 decoder together with eac3to nor do I have any other problems resulting from the use of Nero7Micro.

Or you can use this version of Nero Micro English which already has all the necessary files to decode True-HD, E-AC3 etc. Of course, a valid license is needed to use it.
The changes in the above version are not in the "official" Lite/Micro, but hopefully they will be added when the creator of Nero Lite has some free time.

EDIT:
And of course the above setup is clean.

EDIT2:
All of the above have been implemented in the "official" Nero Micro/Lite.

The version I bought is a little older but I will give this a try, thanks. What is different about this build vs. "official"?

Just the filters needed for E-AC3, True-HD and DTS Express decoding and some minor improvements to the setup script. I have already contacted the creator of Nero Lite in order to include the changes I've made, but he doesn't seem to have a lot of free time.

Did you try forcing the framerate via a CLI switch? What's the exact command line? Always helpful to have the full command line.

Yes i tryed but not helped. I use classic cmd eac3to "k:\b13" "k:\video.mkv"
