There's Something About Mary

Actually I have some problems with "There's Something About Mary". It's a Seamless-Branching Blu-Ray, so I try to demux all streams, because I want to play it on Popcorn Hour.
But I'm always getting an error:

[v02] Writing the destination file failed. <ERROR>
Aborted at file position 18752526336. <ERROR>

I've ripped the disc without problems to a harddisk, so it's not a "bad disc".
I've tried different playlists (Kino-Version, extended Version), but eac3to always fails.

Is it a problem with the content of the disc? Or is it a problem with eac3to?

Code:
eac3to v3.18
command line: eac3to.exe BDMV 4) -demux

It sounds like there isn't enough free space in your hard disc.

no, it's not that easy

And I don't think it's a problem with the hd. I've tried the whole procedure (ripping, demuxing) on different harddisks.

Strange - right now I've found out, demuxing every stream separately is working

Perhaps this has been asked before but with so much posts an answer is hard to find and also asking again wouldn't hurt

Is there any chance to share the source code for eac3to? Ideally into an open git repository such that updates could be offered by anybody interested in adding features or fixing issues.

I'd like to be able to add muxing into mkv with unprocessed streams for everything i.e. audio+video+subtitles for dvd, hd-dvd and blu-ray. Even though wine deals with eac3to.exe nicely, a native linux port would be also great :-)

Eac3to is closed source, free software. Madshi has responded to these questions (many from me), so search this thread for answers.

Mkv muxing/demuxing is not the primary function of eac3to, and is fairly complex. I suggest looking at mkvtoolnix for further functionality.

Anybody got problem playing 7.1 flac made by eac3to?

I converted "DTS Master Audio, English, 7.1 channels, 24 bits, 48khz" to flac with ArcSoft DTS Decoder v1.1.0.7

FLACTester throws this error "FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM"

FLACTEster is known to be broken for multichannel 24-bit files created with the recent version(s) of FLAC. This has been happening to me for the last year, at the least. Check it with foobar2000 instead.

a little help please..

i'm new to hd audio transcoding (from blu ray, hd dvd).

can someone please provide an explanation or a link where i can read about this whole "different channel order" thing on hd discs, and the need to remap channels after decoding. does it apply to both blu ray and hd dvd? and does it apply to all hd audio formats or just some of them?

eac3to remaps channels after all decoders - libav, arcsoft, nero.. what, none of them are yet able to decode hd audio properly? also we use the same decoders in directshow players without eac3to to do the remapping, then what, my system outputs wrong channel order each time i see an hd movie?

i'm sure these are all stupid questions, but i just couldn't find a good answer, although i searched all evening -(

thanks

eac3to remaps channels only when transcoding to a format that doesn't obey the Blu-ray convention but instead obeys another (I think something do with Waveformat extensible). Trust eac3to's remapping, but don't worry about playback: Arcsoft TMT, PowerDVD, etc. map channels correctly on playback of the original audio types because they know to expect the Blu-ray order.

A pitty about the closed source issue. Free software is not really free unless it lives as open source forever

Indeed, this is why community effort would help. The current option of demuxing streams and then using other tools to remux is a bit of a pain ...

Anyway, thanks for the reply!

The newest Foobar2000 plays eac3to-7.1 flac perfectly.

thank you Inspector.Gadget

so one practical question:
- if i convert DTS HD MA to say AC3 or AAC to mux into an mkv HDrip, i should let eac3to remap the channels, right?
- now if i convert DTS HD MA to LPCM to use in blu ray or avchd authoring, should i still let eac3to remap the channels?

i'm sorry i just don't get the clear picture here, need a little more information..

Just let eac3to do the job.

Maybe your authoring software (at least the based in TsMuxer) need the input in WAV format (file < 4GB) or W64 format (file > 4GB) instead LPCM format (without headers).

i only got a 2.0 setup and i would like to downmix a DTS-MA file to 2.0 flac but when i try to run:

C:\eac3to>eac3to.exe "d:\audio1.dtshd" e:\audio1.flac -mixlfe -down2

i get something that i do not understand fully...

"Reducing depth from 64 to 24 bits"

why is does eac3to change the depth?

oh and is this the correct way to downmix a DTS-MA to 2.0? i am totally new to this

@DigitalLF
Please put the full log to know the decoder used.

The downmix routines work at 64 bits float to be the more exact possible, to encode to flac we need recover a proper integer bitdepth.

The downmix process isn't lossless, I recommend you use aac output instead flac:
C:\eac3to>eac3to.exe "d:\audio1.dtshd" e:\audio1.m4a -mixlfe -down2

the outputfile differ with around 50mb so i don't think there wore any LFE data. (as i said before i am a complete n00b when it comes to this..)

i will also try to output a m4a file...

EDIT:
@tebasuna51 i have now made a test with m4a.... from 6gb DTS-MA i got a 200mb m4a... somethings wrong here.. :P

No, there's nothing wrong. AAC is not lossless, so 200mb output is not unreasonable.

Original audio track, L+R+C+SL+SR: max 24 bits, average 16 bits.
Original audio track, LFE: constant bit depth of 16 bits.
for these variable bit depth tracks, would it be possible to add a switch that dithers only >16bit samples, and truncates 16bit ones when reducing bitdepth to 16bit? or is there some software already that can do such a thing?

edit: or making it default behaviour might make more sense

There is the -down16 switch. That won't do anything if the content is already 16bit and will dither down higher bitdepth content.

The LFE is low frequency (~120 Hz) and need much less bitrate than the whole audio (~24 KHz)

Is OK, listen the flac track and the m4a track, can you hear the difference?
Like I say you the downmix is a lossy process (you can't recover the original signal) then is not sense use a lossless encoder. Store a copy of the full 5.1 flac to be played in a surround system in the future.
