Used latest eac3to to mux H264 and to create a FLAC track from the LPCM track.
They play perfect on their own. But when muxed together with mkvmerge the resulting mkv will not start to play when using ffdshow (libav) to decode flac. If you skip/fast forward a second or two the movie will start and play to the end without problems. (Not sure this is a eac3to bug/problem. It might be the splitter, mkvmerge or ffdshow (libav)) Last edited by rickardk; 15th March 2008 at 18:31. |

Why FLAC over AC3? I have used both and cannot hear a difference although I know that AC3 is lossy. Size difference is huge however. AC3 may come in at around 700megs vs 1.5Gig for a FLAC track. Am I missing something significant using AC3? I simply use the -libav switch to do this too, works well.

Unfortunately 1st post include only few examples and only switches. Good idea to publish some tutorial or extended help file with FAQ Anyway thank you very much one more time for great application |

This is not the right thread to discuss media player / display setup questions, though. Quote:
This is a difficult topic. It's somewhat similar to the question whether high bitrate video looks noticably better than low bitrate video. It depends on the source material. It depends on how good your devices/speakers are. It depends on how good your ears are. It depends on how critical you are. It depends on a lot of things. One thing is for sure: The AC3 track cannot sound better than the FLAC track. |

OK, i got busted...
There is a page written mostly by me (bendurdunthat has made some contribution too), but is not at all ready because i was very busy during the last weeks. Madshi is aware of this, but he was busy too, to make any additions or suggestions. The link you posted above is only a part of it. Here is the complete page. It's a copy of the wikipedia page, because wikipedia didn't allow manuals. How to use (with lots of examples) and FAQ sections are almost done, therefore if you like you can read them.

I am VERY happy to hear that what was put on Wikipedia wasn't lost. I read their comments and was actually angry since I didn't feel that it was "selling" or spamming. The plumbing place maybe
I really did find the page on Wikipedia helpful, I pulled it from Google Cache. eac3to made my conversions of HD-DVD really easy to do, in fact I just ordered another $130 worth of new HD-DVD and $60 on eBay this morning it's so easy. Without that page and some help from others I'd be beating my head against the wall still - very valuable. I can hardly wait for BD to be so easy. <sigh> Bitter? you betcha'! |

Questions
Hi, i have a few questions about decoding/recoding of audio traks, working on detailed guides in this article, so I need viable info <-- i think I'am at the right place
1. Just the LPCM has different channel order, the other formats not (Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS-HD, DTS-HD MA, TrueHD)? 2. If I decode any format of 1. to 6 mono wavs, and want to reencode to Ac3, then what options should I set on the below panel (Sonic standalone prof. ac3 encoder)?: Anyway: if anyone know a better ac3 encoder, then let me know. 3. If I decode any format of 1. to 6 mono wavs, and want to reencode to DTS, then should I set "Attenuate rear channles 3db" in Surcode, or not? 4. If an audio track is 16bit originally, but I use "-down16 " on it, this should degrade audio quality or not? Thank you! Dchard Last edited by dchard; 16th March 2008 at 18:58. |

@dchard
1) All formats can have different channel order internally. The decoder/transcoder must do the mapping in transparent mode to the user. 2) Select only the bitrate (at least 448 for 5.1), lets the defaults values in image, but uncheck all checkboxes (CopyRight, Original, LFE lowpass, Surround 90 phase shift) 3) Nope. 4) Nope also. |

tebasuna51 is right, of course. Just one little addition:
