Another EAC3to GUI Plus
UPDATED 5-31-2010
Main Screen Damian at MediaSmartServer.net has written a very nice in depth guide on how to use the app. http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010...er-eac3to-gui/ His instructions go in more detail then the below guide. Download, unzip and install from this link... (Version 0.9.1.18) New! Added support for movie name checking and image downloads with http://www.themoviedb.org. This feature is not enabled by default. You must turn it on, go to the Tools menu and select "Image Download Options". Also support for non-forced subtitles. Lower CPU useage while archiving. A new status bar that warns the user if there is not enough disk space is available in the work folder or final file location. Check the option "Download movie info & images from themoviedb.org" Latest version also includes disk insertion feature that eliminates the need to select the stream folder in the textbox when archiving directly off the disk. This makes the whole process only 3 clicks and type in the name of the movie.
Recent update now includes automatic selection support for untouched TrueHD, DTS-HDMaster as well as lossess conversion to FLAC and support for legacy DTS Core, DTS, DTS-ES & Digital Dolby. Automatic selection of lossless audio tracks, chapters and forced subtitle detection in the default language. If forced subtitles are not found it then looks for subtitles that are at least smaller than 1/20th the size of the main subtitles. Automatic re-multiplexing of audio, chapters and forced subtitles using MKVMerge. There is an easy to use option for moving forced subtitles into the image area making the output file, masking system and CIH friendly, thanks to options in BDSup2Sub. There is also an option to shut the computer down at the end of the batch processing. Requirement now include Haali Media Splitter, Eac3to, MKVMerge, BDSup2Sub, madFlac, Trial version of Arcsoft TMT will work and .NET Framework 2.0 for XP systems. The .NET framework is built in to Vista and Windows 7 so it does not need to be loaded. Java is also required for BDSub2Sub. Last but not least you will need AnyDVD-HD or DVDFab Passkey running. All of this software is available free except for AnyDVD and TMT, trials are available for both if you want to try it all out before buying anything. Required software: http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/ Haali media splitter Note: We have seen issues with eac3to and the 12/19/2009 release of Haali. This version of Haali is known to work. For more information see this post. http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip eac3to http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkv....3.0-setup.exe MKVtoolnix (Windows) http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145277 BDSup2Sub for automatic forced subtitle detection creation. http://www.java.com/en/ Java - Required for BDSup2Sub http://madshi.net/madFlac.rar Madflac decoder * http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JHKJLL7D Arcsoft Total Media Theater Trial * http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html AnyDVD-HD Trial * Only required if converting HD Audio to FLAC. When the application starts for the first time it will ask for the location of “eac3to.exe”, “BDSub2Sub.jar” & “mkvmerge.exe”. Browse to the location of these applications, select the default location for the output. It’s a good idea to have them all installed before installing AnotherEAC3to GUI Plus. Support for untouched HD Audio TrueHD & DTS-HD bitstreaming with ATI5XXX card or lossless conversion to FLAC or AAC audio and for legacy DTS, DTS-ES & Digital Dolby. The default language is English and it uses this for detection of lossless audio, subtitles and during the MKVmerge process. Note: I have only tested with English disk. Your welcome to try another language...Just type it in and try it. Make sure the Default Language is set to your prefered default language. A checkbox is provided if you want to shut down the computer when MKVMerge is complete. Check the box if you want to delete the work files at the end of MKVmerge. The output folder same as input folder now defaults to off. Use this option if you rip several disk to the hard drive with AnyDVD then create batch jobs and place the output in the same folder as the stream. This is not the most efficient workflow but the option is still there. Click on OK to exit the options dialog. NEW! Dramatically faster re-mux times by using the work folder option. Define a work folder on a different physical drive than the destination folder will decrease re-mux (MKVMerge) time. Once the main window is up. (1) Browse to the folder that contains the streams, NOT just the root folder drill down to the folder that contains the stream files. On Blu-ray it will be “<Your Blu-ray Drive>\BDMV\STREAM”. When you are in the correct folder the input stream list will fill. All Blu-rays seem to use the same folder structure so once pointed to the correct folder you should never need to change it. Press the Analyze button (2), a popup window will appear for a few seconds then the results list will fill with all the tracks available on the disk. (3) Enter the name of the output file including the drive and folder. You may use the browse button to browse to the location. (4) Select the track list from the results list. The stream files for that tracklist will fill the selected stream source file list. Some movies will have several tracks you may preview the files in the tracklist by clicking on them in the selected stream source list. (5) This step is optional, some forced subtitles will allow themselves to be moved inside the image area. Select the aspect ratio of the movie. I have a masking system and it really looks bad if your subtitles appear on the mask area or if you are running a CIH setup this is also a real blessing. Thank the author of BDSup2Sub. Be sure to select this option before adding to the batch list, changing after adding to the batch will have no effect. (6) Click on the Add Batch button. The name of the movie will now appear in the batch list. (7) Finally Click on the Run All button. You will see a dos window appear for both the eac3to and MKVMerge. If everything goes well in about an hour you should have an MKV file ready to watch. For users that choose to remux on there own, new smarter file naming and batch demuxing of mulitple streams with the "Command Line" button option. Edit the command line to your liking press the "Add Batch" button. Note: no re-muxing with this option, you must use manually use MKV Merge or MKVMerge GUI. Review your command line options by hovering over the batch list. To run all batches press the "Run All" button. Current limitation: No support for 1080i 60 Blu-ray or HD-DVD. Release Notes: Current Version 0.9.1.18 Added support for movie name checking and image downloads with themoviedb.org. Support for non-forced subtitles. Lower CPU useage while archiving. Status bar that warns the use if there is not enough disk space is available in the work folder or final file location. Version 0.9.1.17 Added thread priority in advanced options. Version 0.9.1.16 Fixed error that could happen during MKVMerge. Version 0.9.1.15 Fixed error message when ripping an audio or subtitle track without a main video track. Version 0.9.1.14 Added support for low resolution subtitles that are compatible with Popcorn Hour PH-A200. Also added disk insertion detection. Version 0.9.1.12 Added status window to replace DOS command window while demux/remuxing. Version 0.9.1.11 Minor service release see main link at top of thread...Added support for AAC audio. Made the default language English if no value is entered. Fixed bug where Advanced Options button would not be displayed when using larger screen fonts. Fixed issue where in some cases TrueHD audio tracks would not extract Digital Dolby track. Version 0.9.1.3 fixed issue with incorrect measage and batch processing when demux only option used. Added eac3to tracing for debugging. Version 0.9.1.2 Includes support untouched HD Tracks. Mike Last edited by MikeEby; 31st May 2010 at 23:21. |

I also know the subtitles in Avatar use a very odd font, I'm not sure if it could be related. I played with MPC-HC, see screen capture below. Mike

bigggt or dbone1026,
Try this version, in the Tools>Options dialog you will see a drop down to set the caption resolution, change it to 480. EDIT: Changed link to point to current released version. Original link was for a test version. Mike

Hey Mike,
Haven't seen much activity here in a while, so thought I would post a few feature requests (that I am sure you already know about): - Mux in full and/or forced PGS subtitle track instead of converting to IDX/SUB - Option to disable audio/video header compression in mkvmerge - Ability to add a secondary AC3 track (and have AEAC mux in instead of having to manually mux)

1 and 2 will be in the next version. I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle setting subtitle as the default. I've been enjoying the summer and have been lazy, also trying to make it UAC friendly...It's a fairly big challenge...I hope to have something soon. Mike

Right now I can't get forced subs to work anyway because I get an error when it tries to run bdsup2sub. You have a great GUI! Keep up the great work but I'm stuck with clown-bd and manual mkvmerge for now! Jim |

I've just rebuilt my PC onto SSD (Yay!!) and I'm having trouble with your GUI (0.9.1.18). The playlists aren't appearing, There is nothing in the playlist window, and the "add batch" and "command line" buttons are not available. The input stream files appear, and picking a stream and playing it works. Eac3to works in a command line window, as does the "HDStreamExtractor " gui. I've installed .NET (although I'm on W7 x64 and I don't think I needed to). I'm stuck. Any ideas? I've removed and reinstalled a number of times. |

Fantastic GUI, thanks for the great work. Hope you keep updating it, although it works nicely. I've had one issue today, used the command line option and this window came up, not sure when:
Code:
Cannot access a disposed object. Object name: 'TextBox'. |

No input stream files!
Last week I had to completely rebuild the system (Windows 7 x64) on my main work machine at home. Another EAC3to GUI Plus had been working wonderfully until I rebuilt the machine and reinstalled it.
As far as I can tell I have reinstalled it in exactly the same way. The paths to eac3to, BDSup2Sub.jar, and MKVMerge are set in the options and are correct, Java and the most recent version of Haali (also tried the version listed as "known to work" at http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17002) are installed, and everything seems identical to what it was prior to the system rebuild. BDSup2Sub works fine by itself. So does HDStreamExtractor. Running from an administrator account. Unfortunately, however, after Another EAC3to GUI Plus analyzes a BD source no input stream files appear in the input-stream-file box. An error dialog says an unhandled exception has occurred and an object reference is not set to an instance of an object. Quote:
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here and how to fix it? Last edited by paquette; 9th June 2011 at 20:36. |
