(1) Please post a list of movies which were problematic but work perfect with v2.19 now (if there are any such). (2) Please report one title per post which still shows problems. So if you have 5 VC-1 movies with problems, please make 5 separate posts, one for each movie. That would help greatly separating the different movies and issues. Please check out the VC-1 titles first cause VC-1 is where I think eac3to should be very good with now. MPEG2 and h264 handling still has room to improve in future builds. So if you ask me you can leave out MPEG2 and h264 titles completely for now. Let's care about them at a later time. VC-1 is my focus right now. Once VC-1 handling is as good as I can get it I'll begin on improving MPEG2 and h264. Quote:
(2) If the result seems to be perfect, please add an audio track with mkvtoolnix and retest. (3) If the result still seems to be perfect, that's all you need to do and you can stop here at step (3). --------- (4) If you find problems, please rerip the movie to make sure that the rip is clean. (5) Demux the E-AC3/AC3 audio tracks. During demuxing v2.19 will automatically check whether there's any corruption in the audio data. That's very effective as a corruption test because E(-AC3) is protected by a CRC. If audio demuxing runs through without any complaints, there's a good chance that the rip is (relatively) clean. (6) If the rip is clean, but you still run into any problems, as a first step please post the v2.19 processing log (see "log.txt" in the "eac3to.exe" folder) together with a detailed problem description and with a summary of your playback system (OS, decoders, renderer) here in this thread. You don't necessarily need to do any further test in the first step. I'll check your report and maybe ask you about further tests then. Thanks much!!

i'm converting a lpcm 5.1 ntsc bluray track to a dts pal track using ea3to2.17.a strange issue happened to me.if i convert directly lpcm->dts, it works fine even with "-speedup" command applyed(the resulting dts file is ok).if i convert to wavs and then manually to dts via surcodedvd, the resulting dts file is double-sized,the lenght is twice the original, and it plays 2 times faster(it doesn't happen if speedup command isn't applyied).i tryed many times, and using raw imputs demuxed in different ways. there's any issue with the speedup feature?how does it exactly work?

No. A card with REAL 24 bits 96khz 5.1 is very expensive to me and for the mostly pc users. My cheapest Chaintech AV-710 SoundCard can manage 24/96-192 but only in stereo mode with she's Wolfson fabulous dac. And....i have not a multispeaker system, only an stereo amplifier with a pair of speakers.

The above is about VC-1 HD DVD movies only. I'll deal with MPEG2 and h264 HD DVD movies in the next step. Let's not even talk about Blu-Ray right now. Although: For VC-1 Blu-Ray movies you could demux audio and video by using xport and then mux the VC-1 track to MKV by using eac3to v2.19. This should work well and give perfect results, as long as there are no gaps/overlaps in the Blu-Ray video stream (which shouldn't really happen, anyway). |

I just muxed the starship troopers blu-ray with putting the vc-1 .m2ts into gdsmux and remuxed only the video to .mkv, because I wanted to avoid the demuxing stage of the video, as you prefer it. so do you think it will be different (and better) when I use xport to demux the vc-1 video and use eac3to to mux it to .mkv?
btw. is a .mkv file with video only in it affected regarding its playback structure, when I put it into mkvmerge to add audio, even when I dont rewrite the timestamps, so could it happen it has no problems as .mkv with video stream only, but then shows errors of any kind after the addition of audio? |

It takes some time....I'll have a list up tomorrow I hope.
Can someone please try Million Dollar Baby again (someone tried that one a couple of pages ago). I'm pretty sure I get a clean rip. But not 100% sure. Please try to use eac3to and try the result without using mkvmerge to add audio. Someone should also try Unforgiven HD DVD. That one should suffer from the same problem as Million Dollar Baby. I just have the Blu-ray version of Unforgiven (that I did in some way remux without problem before) so can't test Unforgiven HD DVD. Last edited by rickardk; 26th January 2008 at 17:44. |

Thanks for such a useful utility.
Have used the current version from your link (2.19?) for the first time in an attempt to strip pulldown flags from VC-1 to see if that improves playback with WMV9 decoder. However, when I attempted the following (source and dest files are on different drives), I just got a "can not perform this video function" error: eac3to source.evo 1: dest.vid -stripPulldown I then tried the following and it seemed to work, but did not honour the destination drive (just put it in the source folder): eac3to source.evo 1: dest.vid -stripPulldown -demux Finally, I attempted the following, and it did honour the dest drive but it didn't mention stripping pulldown flags: eac3to source.evo 1: dest.mkv -stripPulldown Are there limitations to eac3to, or am I just misunderstanding the syntax? I also tried using the linked GUI, but it didn't seem to have an option to select the required video track. Adding the video track identifier in the destination field just included it in the quotes for the destination folder, so that didn't work either. I'm guessing eac3to has some inbuilt assumptions that are not fully explained: for example, an .mkv suffix is interpreted as a requirement to create a matroska output, even though no explicit mkv option is specified. So, I'm wondering if there are others, such as always having to name a video file as .vc1 otherwise it gets rejected in the syntax. Last edited by IanD; 27th January 2008 at 00:18. |
