In most (all?) BD cases these chapter marks fall exactly on the first frame of a new scene.

I'll do some further research and see if I can find some additional info on some of the BDs I have.
@SomeJoe, if you read laserfan's post, it seems that in his experience most Blu-Rays seem to have proper chapter marks (at least when using h264). I tend to agree with you that if 1001 is needed, it's probably an authoring error.

Which movie is that?

Please drop a comment here whenever you see this problem. Maybe we'll have luck and I have one of those Blu-Rays myself. However, I've not really stumbled over this problem myself yet.

Not sure myself where the problem came from, but the eac3to you're using is pretty old.

I think that's the only speaker combination which makes problems. At least the only one I'm aware of.

The Haali MKV Muxer (which eac3to is using) does not support the right eye stream format. So that's why eac3to cannot mux the right eye stream to MKV. mkvmerge currently doesn't support it, either. I've already given Mosu (the mkvmerge creator) all the information he needs, but he says that it's not a high priority for him currently. There's not much else I can do here...

might be releated, got this parsing problem where the cursor only parses the playlist up to the 2nd last marking, but then doesnt display anything, but jumps back to the directory prompt. same situation here, the big main movie is preceeded by a small studio logo .m2ts file. movie is 'happy together' by kino.

There exists framerates for NTSC material 24000/1001 (ie 23,976) and 30000/1001 (ie 29,97), but not 29,976...

Not sure if its the same issue, but if you mount a bluray image in Virtuel Clone Drive and set the option buffered I/O, then eac3to will fail to parse a bluray, it simple quit to cmd prompt without doing anything, no error, no nothing.

Ok friend Wojszwillo then consider 30000/1001, how to resolve the problem so that no distortion occurs in the audio that has been occurring when passing from 30000/1001 to 24000/1001, how could you answer me?

@DruidCtba, NTSC 30000/1001 is a framerate for interlaced video. Audio is 24000/1001. Your audio is not 30000/1001. There's no need to change anything. You don't need to slowdown your audio nor video. Slowdown/speedup is for converting between NTSC <-> PAL.

I just noticed that a bug which I had reported months ago is still present.
The mapping of 3.0 soundtracks converted to flac is incorrect. The center channel ends up in the left surround.
This time the source was DTS MA 3.0 (last time: PCM 3.0), as found on the Criterion BluRays of Yojimbo and Sanjuro, so I don't think it's a decoder problem.
When creating Mono-Wavs instead of flac, the three tracks are correctly titled L, R and C.

To me it seems a design flaw of the FLAC .dll
<DEL>(OR of the Flac decoder you're using)</DEL>,
not a problem in eac3to itself.
<DEL>¿What does MediaInfo says about the "bad" Flac file?</DEL>

P.S.:

BTW, the avcodec library hasn't been updated.

P.P.S.:

Perhaps madshi could add a "FLAC's_problems.txt"
to the next eac3to packages ???

@ Momber:

the FLAC generated by eac3to seems OK;

the problem is, there are NO Flac decoders that honor the
W-F-Ext ChannelMask flag...

If that is the case, perhaps it would be a good idea for eac3to to simply decline the encoding of 3.0 files to flac for the time being.
A little message along the lines of "3.0 FLAC channel mapping not supported - choose AC3 or DTS encoding instead".

Just an idea.

@madshi: A feature request for two options:

-cutF (cut at frame)
-cutT (cut at HH:MM:SS.MLS) (or any variation using time format)

These two are so useful for testing or when one needs to truncate the output at given frame or time.

And again - thank you for the great tool, allowing for so many other applications to do their job.

This procedure also does not help.

Hi

Can i automate WavAviMux.exe in any Way in the eac3to chain ?
I need 5.1 interelaved Waves muxed in AVI (4Gb+)for some Apps

@ AnryV
Interesting !
However.. i thought most DTS-HD encodes use -31db Dialnorm, so theres no Attenuattion defacto ?

I feel always most comfortable when i can decode DTS(HD) with DTS-HD Streamplayer because its the Reference Decoder. You can disable DialNorm/DRC in the Settings.
But DTS-HD Tracks demuxed from M2TS/MKV cant be used in the StreamPlayer because the additional DTS-HD Header Infos are missing (standard DTS works)
Im still hoping that somebody write a Small app (better eacto3 support) to Add/Strip the extra Bytes

There are DTS-HD tracks with Dialnorm and I need to decode them correctly. Especially this concerns 7.1 tracks, which I cannot decode by using of Soniс decoder.
