How come, when I convert the audio from VOB-files (AC3) to AAC, I sometimes get this type of message: "a03 [NeroAacEnc] Processed 7260 second. Aborted at file position 4153661440.", but sometimes the ~third try it works OK?

That never happens when I use MKVMerge, so I doubt that the harddrive is bad. Does eac3to got better errorcheck than MKVMerge, or what?
Also, when I convert to FLAC, I never got that problem. EDIT: @MikeEby I run it on a copy (ripped) that is already on the harddrive. But as said, it seems to be an issue that has not been properly fixed yet. Last edited by Forteen88; 3rd December 2010 at 02:57. |

It's an issue with the way NeroAacEnc and eac3to work together. Ever since I reported the issue, madshi tried to fix, but by doing so caused the same issue to appear under different circumstances. The only sure fire to not run into the issue is to encode individual demuxed tracks to AAC.

I have seen some titles that embed a different video structure at the start of an .evo, which throws off eac3to: by looking into the .XPL file and editing it to remove the offending reference, all is well. The only problem is that chapters times are then incorrect and must be adjusted accordingly. Interestingly, I think Bluray is starting to prefix different video at the beginning of some files too. I strongly suggest, if working with HD-DVD, to become familiar with the basics of editing .XPL playlists as an additional tool: that way you have exact control over what is happening, instead of relying on software you have little control over. |

Hmm, all of the HD DVD to BD-R conversions I've done with thd+ac3 tracks encoded by eac3to give me an "Unknown Disc" error with my Oppo BDP-80, although they work fine in my PS3 and Japanese Sony BD recorder. Discs without thd+ac3 work fine in the Oppo.
I'll be sure to ask in a forum dedicated to Oppo players since it seems to be more of a player problem, but any ideas what might be causing this? edit: nevermind, it looks like all of the TrueHD titles I re-authored coincidentally were all burned to LTH discs, which won't play on the BDP-80.

DTS(-HD) 2.1 and MLP
May be bug?
1). eac3to 3.24 can't decode any MLP encoded in SurCode Dolby MLP Encoder 1.0.29. (sample) Code:
eac3to v3.24 command line: eac3to ID20.mlp ID20.wav -libav ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MLP, 5.1 channels, 16 bits, 48kHz Decoding with libav/ffmpeg... The libav decoder output an unexpected bitdepth (-1). <ERROR> Aborted at file position 262144. <ERROR> Code:
eac3to v3.24 command line: eac3to ID20.mlp ID20.nero.wav -nero ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MLP, 5.1 channels, 16 bits, 48kHz Disabling DRC for Nero (E-)AC3 decoding... Decoding with DirectShow (Nero Audio Decoder 2)... The DirectShow audio decoder didn't accept the input stream. <ERROR> Aborted at file position 262144. <ERROR> 2). ArcSoft DTS Decoder 1.1.0.0 and 1.1.0.7 with eac3to can't normal decode DTS(-HD) 2.1. LFE-channel is clear. In the same time Sonic (4.3.0.169) works well. Samples: DTS 2.1, DTS-96/24 2.1, DTS-HD MA 2.1. Last edited by TDiTP_; 4th December 2010 at 15:22. Reason: add DTS(-HD) 2.1 |

since Sonic works well for those DTS(-HD) 2.1 tracks then i don't see why we should care about Arcsoft, but it would be very handy if we have a chart giving information which DTS(-HD) with which decoder (Arcsoft, Sonic, etc) works good.

AFAIK ArcSoft bugs are:
1). Any version can't ignore DN in DTS-HD MA and DTS-HD Hi-Res. Solition: Sonic, but we can't use it with > 6.1 BTW reference decoder of DTS-HD StreamPlayer can't ignore dialog normalization too (that is why file-header cutting won't help us) 2). DTS-ES Discrete 6.1/6.0 (in eac3to terms: DTS-ES 6.1/6.0) and DTS-HD with this core can be decoded with only ArcSoft 1.1.0.0. Other versions do not work. 3). DTS(-HD) 1.0 can be decoded with only ArcSoft 1.1.0.0 and 1.1.0.8. 4). Any version can't decode DTS-HD MA 7.1 ("strange setup"). Solution: if we have DTS-HD StreamPlayer we can cut file-header (first 140 byte) of similar stream obtained in DTS-HD Master Audio Suite and then merge it with our DTS-HD MA 7.1. This new track can be decoded in StreamPlayer. 5). Any version can't decode DTS(-HD) 2.1. Solution: Sonic, Nero (libav gives too low level of LFE-channel) Last edited by TDiTP_; 9th January 2011 at 09:56. Reason: Update info |

Well beside being very time consuming this does not solve the problem at all as I had one time to restart single file encoding about 10 times until it finally succeded. In EAC3to v3.22 This error never happened to me and still doesn't (I reverted to that version since 3.24 is horrible)!
So if things where buggy then they where still way better than now. Put simply: EAC3to v3.24 is useless for AC3 to AAC encoding and you must revert to v3.22! Quote:

I think ArcSoft decode correctly DTS-HD MA 7.1 ("strange setup"), and search other "solution" is useless. Let me explain the problem: When decode standard 7.1 we can obtain a exact correlation between DTS speakers and WAV speakers: Lss -> Side Left Lsr -> Back Left (the same for Right speakers) But with "strange setup" we have: Ls -> ? Lsr -> Back Left Don't exist, in WAV specs, a channel equivalent to Ls, we have only SPEAKER_BACK_LEFT SPEAKER_BACK_RIGHT SPEAKER_BACK_CENTER SPEAKER_SIDE_LEFT SPEAKER_SIDE_RIGHT (and others not related) Then ArcSoft decode: Side_Left = 0.6007 x Ls Back_Left = 0.6804 x Lsr + 0.3196 x Ls the Ls channel is separated in two components with this conditions: 0.6804 + 0.3196 = 1 to avoid overflow, and (0.6007)^2 + (0.3196)^2 = (0.6804)^2 to preserve the audio power contribution of Ls. All other channels must be attenuated also like: Front_Left = 0.6804 x L ... to preserve the volume balance. And don't exist a better solution to the problem. For what you want extract the exact Ls channel? You can't convert it to other audio format, and you can't play it ,unless you change the speakers position physically in your audio room each time you want play a "strange setup". When you play a DTS "strange setup" in your receiver it stop the play and send a message like "Please, change the Side speakers to Ls-Rs possitions and press Play to continue"? I think not, or make a mix like ArcSoft do or you play incorrectly the audio.
