eac3to already uses ffmpeg for other formats, so that wouldn't be a big hurdle - assuming madshi updates to a recent ffmpeg at some point in the future.

The Nero Audio Decoder needed by eac3to are Directshow filters included in Nero 7 package (plus a extra plugin). All not free, but there are some hacks to install the required filters without install the full Nero 7 package.

The Nero AAC Encoder (NeroAacEnc.exe) is a free standalone encoder than can be used by eac3to to output .m4a (AAC in mp4 container).
There are also a free standalone NeroAacDec.exe than can decode AAC inside mp4 container (.mp4 or .m4a), but can't be used by eac3to. You need run it in command line mode.

Yeah, it seems as if you need a very early version of ArcSoft... I tried installing ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 6.7 and eac3to doesn't seem to pick up the DTS Decoder. Even when I moved it into System Folders.
The lastest versions of ArcSoft don't have a required (by eac3to) checkactivate.dll. You need include this dll from previous versions to work with latest versions.

There are hacks (in this forum) to install the required (by eac3to) ArcSoft files without install the full ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre package.

BTW, ArcSoft decoder is only needed to decode XSA / low bitrate (DTS Express in BD's), with the last libdcadec.dll you can decode any other DTS (standard or HD) the same (or better like with Strange Setup 7.1) than with ArcSoft.

Of course a great improvement of eac3to is (if possible):

- Add full dcadec decoder to support XSA / low bitrate, like is already in ffmpeg.

- Add AAC decoder from ffmpeg (maybe need some workaround to avoid license problems, similar to used with ArcSoft, Nero 7, Sonic or Surcode DTS)

- Add AC3 encoder from ffmpeg.

So, 0.2.0 is the latest version (and also outdated), right?

What decoder should I use to extract DTS Master Audio 2.0, 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 now I was using ArcSoft DTS Decoder (1.1.0.0).

Thank you very much for all your help!

Except, they were all silent, so the only difference was that the recent dcadec allowed the message to be seen.

One user did make a custom build that just hid the message again for the placebo users who want that message "out of sigh of mind".

Arcsoft has so many versions, and no one has thoroughly tested the last version (1.09), so we can't really say if it behaves the same as previous versions or has different negative behaviours like some versions of Arcsoft.

For Arcsoft, v1.0.0.0 is the most known version to handle most scenarios.

But Dcadec should be the same and handle all formats (including Strange Setup, which Arcsoft requires a specific version) except for DTS Express.
Yes, Arcsoft, v1.0.0.0 is the version I'm using.

To extract don't need any decoder.

To decode DTS MA let the eac3to default libdcadec.dll.

I am confused, please help.

After conversion mpg -> mkv, m2ts -> mkv, mediainfo does not contain any info about audio stream.
But audio stream can be played in MPC-HC.

Is your MPC-HC set up to search external audio sources with the same file name? Check the filters submenu whether the audio source is the loaded file or an additional file.

Audio source is INSIDE of the loaded file.

Please put the eac3to log.

I can't reproduce your problem, my log:

Quote:
eac3to v3.31
command line: eac3to "test.m2ts" "test.mkv"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2TS, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 0:00:21, 25p
1: h264/AVC, 720p25
2: AC3, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48kHz
[v01] Extracting video track number 1...
[a02] Extracting audio track number 2...
[v01] Muxing video to Matroska...
[a02] Creating file "test - 2 - AC3, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48kHz.ac3"...
Added fps value (25) to MKV header.
Video track 1 contains 525 frames.
eac3to processing took 1 second.
Done.
In my folder:
Code:
03/04/2017  11:29         1.050.624 test.m2ts
03/04/2017  11:30           528.384 test - 2 - AC3, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48kHz.ac3
03/04/2017  11:30           160.886 test.mkv
there are 2 files the .ac3 and the .mkv (by size is impossible than contain the audio also)

OMG, seems I got the point!
The output file does not contain audio stream, this stream is demuxed into .ac3 file!
I thought that "eac3to input.m2ts output.mkv" generates ONE file which includes both video & audio streams...

Now I understand why I was asked about external audio tracks in MPC-HC.

Rogue One original disc M2TS shows 72p /1.001 and video track shows 24p/1.001

M2TS, 1 video track, 4 audio tracks, 5 subtitle tracks, 2:13:56, 72p /1.001
1: Chapters, 49 chapters
2: h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
3: DTS Master Audio, English, 7.1 channels, 24 bits, 48kHz
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 1509kbps, 48kHz)
4: AC3, English, 2.0 channels, 320kbps, 48kHz
5: AC3, French, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48kHz
6: AC3, Spanish, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48kHz
7: Subtitle (PGS), English
8: Subtitle (PGS), French
9: Subtitle (PGS), Spanish
10: Subtitle (PGS), French
11: Subtitle (PGS), Spanish
v02 The video bitstream framerate field doesn't seem to match the timestamps.

Is there going to be any issues with extracting these tracks? Or anything special I should be doing?

Extract as always and put the log. Seems a eac3to mistake.

You mean something similar to "eac3to > eac3to.txt"? This never really worked well, due to the strange output formatting used. I never understood why it is necessary to prepend every output line with 80 backspace chars. As if a CRLF is not enough to start at the left margin.

I only ask because in Windows 10 1703 CMD is defaulty replaced by PowerShell.
While using Powershell with eac3to the output is not shown as list. Instead every output is shown only in the first line.
So I have to use a pipe like you explained and thats not realy comfortable.

Additionally, "Take Command" by JP Software (former 4DOS / 4NT) is an enhanced CMD-like command interpreter (Lite version is free to use).

It saved my day by avoiding surprises when comparing both LFN and SFN against wildcard patterns, matching more files than desired...

I recommend to redirect the eac3to help to a file, and load the file in a good text editor to remove the BS characters. Due to the extremely bizarre formatting options of eac3to, it's the only method that gives good results.
