One thing I forgot in last post is that the play time of the movie is not displayed in MPC or WMP when using ffdshow for FLAC decoding. But when I skip forward a seond or two the playtime is displayed. Using madflac the playtime is there from start. |

Quick question.
Should I apply the audio delay from a Dolby TrueHD track (-87ms, from HD-DVD source) when I encode it to FLAC with eac3to or should I wait until muxing it in with the video using MKVmerge ? Does audio delay even apply to FLAC when encoding ? |

Hey madshi,
I'm going to try to attempt at transcoding stereo 24-bit 88.2kHz LPCM to WAV once more. I have PM'd you with a sample as well as the WAV successfully converted by DVDAExplorer, to compare. my code for the current attempt is: Code:
eac3to.exe track1.pcm track1.wav -2 -24 -big -88200 -override This might be a RAW/PCM file. Trying to figure out the details. This will probably take a while. Please be patient... The RAW/PCM file seems to have 6 channels. Was not able to figure out all parameters of this RAW/PCM file. Please specify channel, bitdepth and endian parameters via command line. |

I can confirm that the video is fine without muxing in the audio! It would appear that MKVtoolnix is having a problem. Is there a better way to mux the video & audio together? |

7.1 question
Madshi:
May have already been asked & answered, but I have a question re: 7.1 tracks. I, for my own purposes, always want to end up with AC3 or DTS files. As you know, DTS offers us (potentially) one more channel than AC3, i.e. DTS ES is 6.1 channels. Will eac3to allow me to go from 7.1 PCM to 6.1 DTS? (On some DTS MA or DTS HD files, eac3to has given me 6.1 DTS files.) If not, what file format would you convert to in order to preserve the highest fidelity, most channels, and good PC/home theater compatibility? Thanks. |

(1) Try different renderers. (2) Try different video decoders. (3) Try different audio decoders. (4) Try different media players. (5) Try to manually setup the graph via GraphEdit. If you can't find out why it's failing to work as expected please help me to reproduce the problem. Basically I'd need a sample with which I can reproduce the problem. |

That's too bad. The EVO is definitely damaged. Probably an authoring fault. You could try demuxing the tracks with EvoDemux and then using eac3to to deal with the raw tracks... Quote:

FLAC. Of course (since it's lossless) it also consumes more space than the lossy codecs. But you can cut down bitdepth to 16bit. This may hurt audio quality ever so slightly (but probably less than doing a lossy encoding in AC3 or DTS) and a 16bit FLAC file will usually not consume more space than a 1.5Mbps DTS track. |

eac3to v2.32 released
http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip Code:
* added automatic "VPLST000.XPL" and "HVA00001.VTI" parsing * "eac3to" or "eac3to ." inside of a HD DVD folder lists all title sets * "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder" lists all title sets * "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder whatever.mkv" converts the longest title set * "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder x) whatever.mkv" converts the selected title set * EVO report now contains the EVO display name (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available) * added language to EVO audio track listing (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available) * added EVO audio track display names (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available) * sequence end codes are stripped from VC-1, MPEG2 and h264/AVC * put "-stripPulldown" option back in on request * option "-demux" now writes to "current directory" instead of source directory * option "-demux" now creates files with meaningful names * doing "eac3to src.evo dst.mkv" now creates audio files with meaningful names * doing "eac3to src.evo dst.mkv" writes the audio files to same path as the MKV * after successful (erroneous) processing "success.wav" (error.wav) is played The usual processing steps should now be these: -------------------- (1) List all title sets, sorted by runtime. The title sets with the longest durations are listed first. Especially useful is that (unlike EvoDemux) eac3to always shows the language of every audio track. The title set listing can be invoked by using one of these possibilities: - "eac3to c:\MovieFolder" - "eac3to ." - "eac3to" (The latter two options only work if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder, of course. Doesn't matter whether you're inside of ADV_OBJ or HVDVD_TS or in the root of the movie folder.) The listing will look something like this: Code:
1) FEATURE_1.EVO+FEATURE_2.EVO, 1:55:06 "Main Movie" - VC-1, 1080p (16:9) - VC-1, 480p (16:9) - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Japanese - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, English - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, French - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Italian - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, German - E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Spanish - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English, "Commentary" 2) M_BERLIN.EVO+M_PARIS.EVO+M_LONDON.EVO+M_MADRID.EVO+M_TANGIERS.EVO+M_BERLIN.EVO, 0:29:42 "man on the move: play all" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 3) DLS.EVO, 0:12:21 "deleted scenes" - MPEG2, 480i (4:3) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 4) NYCHASE.EVO, 0:10:46 "new york chase" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 5) M_BERLIN.EVO, 0:06:10 "man on the move: berlin" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 6) ROOFTOP.EVO, 0:05:39 "rooftop pursuit" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 7) M_TANGIERS.EVO, 0:05:21 "man on the move: tangiers" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 8) RUMBLE.EVO, 0:04:59 "planning the punches" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 9) M_LONDON.EVO, 0:04:14 "man on the move: london" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 10) M_MADRID.EVO, 0:04:06 "man on the move: madrid" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 11) M_PARIS.EVO, 0:03:41 "man on the move: paris" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English 12) DRIVE.EVO, 0:03:23 "driving school" - MPEG2, 480i (16:9) - E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English - "eac3to c:\MovieFolder 20) trailer.mkv" - "eac3to . 20) trailer.mkv" - "eac3to 20) trailer.mkv" (Again the latter two options only work if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder.) -------------------- If you know that you want the title set with the largest duration handled by eac3to you can skip step (1) and directly do the following which will tell eac3to to automatically choose the longest title set: - "eac3to c:\MovieFolder 1) movie.mkv" - "eac3to c:\MovieFolder movie.mkv" - "eac3to . movie.mkv" (The last option only works if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder.) -------------------- Of course you can combine the new command line option possibilites with the "old" ones. So you could e.g. do this: - "eac3to . 1: movie.mkv 3: English.flac" - "eac3to 5) 1: movie.mkv 3: Englisch.ac3" You can always only handle one title set at a time, though. -------------------- All the new comfort options explained above only work if the "VPLST000.XPL" file is available. Without that file eac3to behaves just as it did before. If the "HVA00001.VTI" file is available, eac3to will make use of that file, too, to make the title set listing as detailed as possible. But the "HVA00001.VTI" is generally not needed for the new comfort functions. P.S: If you don't like the event sounds, you can replace the two WAV files with your own. Or you can simply delete them. eac3to won't mind. |

Very nice! Thanks!
So, only subtitle demuxing is missing now? Is it planned? Do you plan converting eac3to to a gui application some time in the future? I believe it would become way to easy to use. No complaints though. |

Subtitles and chapters are missing. Chapters are easy to deal with and will be added in the very next build. I don't know how subtitles are working exactly, though. I could demux them in the binary form they are stored in the EVO file but I don't think that would help anybody.
Apart from these rather small things I'm considering HD DVD support complete now. That means (unless there are more bugs being reported) I can finally move on to Blu-Ray in the next weeks. At least not in the near future. |

Demuxing subs in their original format (+ chapter support) would help getting rid of evodemux...
There's no need to use 2 programs, one for audio/video and one for subs. Pelican9's SUPread is able to convert .sup subs to .srt, so it would be useful. I tested a HD DVD. It seems to work. And it's easy also. (btw, TrueHD 96KHz tracks are recognized and decoded correctly - can't remember if this has been discussed before). Last edited by nautilus7; 22nd March 2008 at 23:38. |
