Either way, it might be worth to not only check which part is different but also to play that different part in a media player to understand why it's different...
Yes, I understand. So checking the files or playing back them is usually necessary in those cases. Thanks.

Is this with the latest version (v2.59)? If not, please update. If yes, could you please upload the first 10MB of that movie.m2ts file for me? Thanks!

Mind if I ask a beginner question? With the 2.59 ability to add a ac3 core to truehd, eac3to can now modify all hd-dvd audio formats to look like blu-ray formats, right? And with pulldown removal, the same is true with the video?

If I have this correct, is there a program besides scenarist that will allow me to remux hd-dvd to blu-ray. (I'm worried about madshi's recent comment that tsmuxer doesn't handle truehd).

Sorry for the noob question. I was looking at converting to flac, but with the upcoming hdmi 1.3 audio cards coming out, I'd like to pass the audio to my receiver to decode so blu-ray format makes sense if it is possible.

As the eac3to output explains, you cannot decode two DTS tracks at the same time with the ArcSoft decoder. That means that with this specific m2ts file "-analyzeBitdepth" runs into trouble because in order to analyze the bitdepth the tracks must be decoded first. You can work around the issue by checking each track separately.

Except E-AC3. Which you have to transcode to make it Blu-Ray compatible.

Yes, I think so.

tsMuxeR, but as I said, it's been reported that TrueHD muxing doesn't work so well.

E-AC3 is optional for Blu-Ray, right (the eac3to wiki says so)? I'm using TMT, which supports E-AC3 I'm almost positive, so I don't need to transcode for this player, correct? Or do I need to transcode always?

Thanks!

The m2ts container wants to have E-AC3 in a specific way which is not HD DVD compatible. Maybe you can still mux in HD DVD style E-AC3 tracks, but you would create a non-standard m2ts file this way. It may play with ArcSoft or maybe not. But I'd recommend to make your m2ts files standard conform to make sure they will play on every media player. But of course that's your decision.

Tried converting a TrueHD track from an HD DVD to a TrueHD/AC3 stream.
The log says "Applying RAW/PCM delay..." but the output filename is "Target DELAY -75ms.thd+ac3".
What about the delay?

Fair enough, I didn't know that.

I'll take your advice. Convert to AC3, or would you do it another way?

Thanks.

Hmmmmmm....... That's a good question. eac3to cannot delay TrueHD tracks, but it can delay raw/pcm/ac3 tracks. I think what probably happens is that the AC3 track interweaved with the TrueHD track will be delay corrected, but the TrueHD track not. Of course that's not a good solution. I guess I'll have to disable delay correction for the AC3 track interweaved track, too, so that both tracks are equally not corrected.

That's your choice. AC3, DTS, LPCM, whatever you like.

already know that 25, 28 and 29 are fine, they are the movie and I've run them through EAC3to and then joined the parts and works fine.

So, has to be the first or the last or both, or both versus the others. I know that 30 is one of those super short ones you've been trying to program around.

So, here's the output for first, one in the middle and last.

D:\kid movies\cj7>C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe E:\BDMV\STREAM\00011.m2ts

So, the first one changes the order of the audio streams.

Interesting, but unhelpful for me <G> hopefully helpful for you.

Thanks for all your amazing work.

I'm sure that eac3to has a good reason to complain. Some of these m2ts parts must have a different video or audio track listing compared to the other parts. Joining m2ts parts with different track lists can't work properly. So you need to find out which parts are different. Then we can go from there...

I must be dreaming man! Thank you very much for these super fine new abilities!

Could you please upload 00011.m2ts and 00130.m2ts for me? Those two seem to be really small. Thanks!
