Does your demuxed DD+ Track have the .ddp or .ac3 extension ? I think the file extension is important for Sonic (.ddp/.ac3 for DD+, .mlp for MLP/DTHD, .dts for DTS and DTS-HD, etc...). I always use .ddp for DD+ tracks, and pas de lézards so far.

I tryed a trueHD track with .mlp ext., but got error with this graph:

something.mlp (file async) --> Sonic cinemaster audio decoder 4.2

Other way I tryed:

something.evo, wich only contains a truehd track (file async.) --> Sonic HD demuxer --> Sonic Audio decoder 4.2 (same error az above).

Why I cannot connect Sonic HD demuxer to Sonic audio decoder? Is there any workaround for this?

TrueHD audio can not be decoded yet.

jokin: yes, I know, but I trying to find a way. :-)

After some discossuion with Mikeyakame I think we have a chance for a working graph to decode trueHD with Nero BD/HD plugin's filter(s), but unfortunantely there is no crack/serial for it, so I cannot try taht way.

Other: I tryed to use Cyberlink decoders too in the graph, but it also won't connect.

You should not be using pirated software. There are more than likely plenty of people out there that have bought Nero that would probably be willing to help.

You can "decode" MLP using PowerDVD, Reclock, and Virtual Audio Cable.

Create a virtual sound device with Virtual Audio Cable (needs to be purchased). Tell Reclock to take over the DirectSound audio renderer, and then configure Reclock to redirect audio to the virtual sound device. Easy - sort of. :) I've done this last month.

However, you have to run PowerDVD manually, and you need sound editing software that can capture from a multichannel audio device (Adobe Audition can do this, for example). Then you need to resync the audio. It is a lot of work, but doable.

Now, I think there is a limitation with PowerDVD - it appears to only output 16 bit audio (but Reclock could be wrong), even though the captured data is at 24 bit, and also the audio captured this way appears to be 3 db lower in volume compared to when listening to it live.

Anyways, I'm just telling you this so that someone else can decide if they want to try this or not. I don't recommend it because it is a lot of work and I cannot verify the accuracy of the captured data.

I am trying to convert hd-dvd to x264 mkv. I did the video with no problem. Will it be possible to add 5.1 audio from the dvd and not experience sync issues. And if there are sync issues how will i fix it?

You can add audio from :
- the HD-DVD : you have to extract the DD+ track with EVOdemux and convert it to AC3 with EAC3to in order to add it to MKV; you will find all necessary information to do that in this thread.
- the same film in DVD : if the framerate is 23.976, it will match perfectly with audio extracted from an NTSC DVD; if it is 25, it will match with a PAL DVD.

If the framerate of the film does not match with the audio you've got, it is better to change the framerate of the video (AssumeFPS() in the AVS script) than re-encoding the AC3 (degrade quality) to change the tempo.

Thanks I will try to transcode the audio.

So i tried running EAC3to but im stuck. Couldnt find anything that says how to setup the filters.
G:\eac3to>eac3to.exe audio.eac3 audio.ac3 640
eac3to v1.3, freeware by madshi.net

Usage: eac3to srcFilename.eac3 destFilename.ac3|flac [-192|448|640]

This tool can convert a 2.0 or 5.1 channel E-AC3 file to AC3/FLAC.

For this to work correctly you need these filters to be installed:
(1) DTS/AC3/DD+ Source
(2) Sonic Audio Decoder 4.2
(3) Dump filter

I have number 2 setup already.
I have number 1 but do not not know where it goes.
dont know about number 3.

Any suggestions?

Dump.ax Filter is a Part of Graphedit. Its in the Graphedit Folder
Also you will need Sox.exe , Aften.exe, Flac.exe

Just install these Filters and EAC3to will do the full Process Autom.

Correct. Just for completeness: Aften.exe, Sox.exe and Flac.exe must be copied to the same folder where Eac3to.exe is located, so that Eac3to can find these other exes.

There are different ways. You could rename the file to "*.ddp" (or *.dd+ or *.eac3) and then use the "eac3to" tool.

ACrowley,

I used your method to re-encode a VC1 video stream to VC1 and have choppy video/frames in the first minutes, but is ok after that.

Any idea?

Here is my setup:

Graph Edit:

Filesource --> Elecard MPEG demux (or Sonic HD Demux) --> Sonic Video decoder 4.2

Then my avisynth script is the exact same as yours:

DirectShowSource("C:\video.grf",fps=23.976,framecount=712,seekzero=false,seek=true,audio=false)

I used Sonic Cinevision to do the encoding. I tried VC1 and AVC, same result.

Thank for your help!

Pitou!

Framecount=712 is wrong i bet.

Its always around 6 or 7 digits for a full Movie.

For example a Mainintro.evo with 1min04sec has 1517 Frames.
So your 712 Frames must be wrong

Use always "only" the calculated Framecount from Evodemux
Whether the counted value is

When you use a wrong Framecount you will have exactly your Errors in the Output

No, I'm having the same problem. Also as a test, I tried to unregister the dtsac3source.ax filter and run eac3to and I still got theGetting "DTS/AC3/DD+ Source" instance failed. error.

Unfortunately, I can't use that weird programming language of yours ( ;) ) so it's hard for me to debug it.

By the way, if you're programming a piece of software that is likely to need a lot of external debugging you should provide a way to do that without recompiling. Just printing copious amounts of debugging data into a log file somewhere in %temp% will save you hours of work later when you have to track down hard to catch bugs in a hard to duplicate environment (that 20GB input files certainly qualify for).

How long are those 3 files (in bytes)? 0:00:30 seems extremely short, can that be correct?

That's the 5.7MB soundtrack to the Universal Logo which is the fastest to use. I also tried the 560MB and 625MB DDP with the same results

Those however take minutes to complete the conversion from DDP to RAW so they're not as convenient to use for finding the error. The 560MB DDP climbs up to about a 700MB RAW file at the end before eac3to displays the error and deletes it again.

I uploaded the 30 second test file to http://taktaal.net/files/logo.ddp if you want to try it out.

The 560MB DDP climbs up to about a 700MB RAW file at the end before eac3to displays the error and deletes it again.
700MB RAW file is *much* too small for a 560MB DDP file. So eac3to is most probably correct in saying that the raw file size doesn't fit. Please try to change the Sonic Audio Decoder settings (Control Panel -> CinePlayer DVD Decoder Options -> Audio tab). I guess there's something wrong with those settings.

Edit: Tried the logo.ddp file. Converts fine for me. The raw file is 24.4 MB.

Ok, when I went into the control panel and switched around a few settings it worked again. Even if I switch the settings back to how they were, everything still works.

The framecount is really 712, it's a 29 sec clips. It's the UNILOGO.EVO

I also tried with a full movie and have the same problem for the first minutes. The frame count is about 95000 frames.

It seems others have the same problem, look at this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123569

I have had an issue with The Good Shepherd HDDVD. I demuxed with EVOdemux and all is well no errors. Then I play the VC1 file in WMP11 and it plays fine except the timecode stop counting at 1:54:32, but the movie continues until the end. The movie is 2:47:30. So I encoded anyways. Well it finished and it played fine until 1:52:11 then it skipped and the video returned to a previous spot in the movie but the audio kept going with the "original video." So now its showing a previous portion of the movie with the current portion of the audio. Any Ideas.

I am using
EVOdemux 0.626b
with the latest WMcmd.vb

Here is a Sample (http://www.sendspace.com/file/3o6apb) of the skipping.

Also this may be the issue:

Continue on FEATURE_2.EVO
Demuxing...
Done.

240976 counted frames (2:47:30.707) in video stream 0.
240971 calculated frames (2:47:30:490) in video stream 0.
240971 calculated frames (2:47:30:490) in video stream 1.

I de-selected Videostream 1 but it looks like it reselected it from the Feature_2.evo.

Thanks,
jokin

I also had a similar problem with The Bourne Supremacy. When I play the demuxed mpv, it plays fine until it hits the the 30m mark(not exactly sure where it starts over again), and then it starts at the beginning again, and again, and again, in a loop.

I tried putting the evo into an mkv container, but the output was only 1h12m long, so theres definately something wrong.

Perhaps the new version of AACS?

I had those problems with the .626b2. b3 and b4 work fine. If you have problems with the vc1, mux the evo into an mkv using gdsmux and mkvmerge(add a timecode tag using mkvmerge). This will give you a .mkv that seeks fine*.

I actually dropped the straight EVO right into graph edit and I am encoding using that graph as we speek (bypassing EVODemux altogether). Seems to be OK but I won't know for sure for another 30 hours or so hah. Hopefully the audio stream doesn't suffer from this same problem. I haven't messed with it yet.

@xxx666yyy777 - I get the same errors as you, with both the sonic audio and video decoders when used from the command line. Everything seems to work just fine despite these errors, so I think its safe to ignore them.

You'll likely find that the file 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\Certificates8\CP41PPG.rxc' doesn't exist. There seems to be a problem with at least one version of the Cineplayer 4.2 Decoder pack. It appears to be looking for the certificate file from version 4.1. It looks like a bug in the installer to me.

@madashi - Thanks for the recent changes, despite the errors reported above, it works perfectly for me now!!

okay.. once again(i'm tiread.. really)..
if you wish to Encode VC-1 track with ONE PC ... "multi-pass", straight from beginning to the end.. you'll need:
raw VC-1 track -> Elecard Demuxer -> Sonic Video Decoder 4.2
then to AVS-Scrips with:
DirectShowSource("G:\DVDRiP\BatmanHD\BatmanHD-Video.GRF", audio=false, seekzero=false, seek=true, fps=24000/1001, framecount=201467)
where you need to correct "framecount".. (from EVOdemux..)

the second way: If you want to Encode VC-1 track with x264farm(beautiful proggie) you have to:
this tutorial(short and mine) (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=993438#post993438)
why HAVE to,.. 'cause in order to x264farm work Properly it needs to SEEK through video track,.. you can't seek with Sonic video decoder.. and timing of the AVS - is WRONG,...

but,.. in second way(x264farm) .. when you use WMVideo Decoder DMO.. it produces GREEN frames after seeking.. they wanish few frames after.. so,.. to work nice you NEED to add "--preseek 5" (or more frames) option to controller's cmdLine..
AND.. you can only use controller-based encoding..

I just encountered a Blu-ray movie a bit different from others (let's call it TSMovieWithDW :rolleyes: ).
Usually the movie on a Blu-ray disc consists of 1 or 2 big M2TS files, but not this time !
The movie was split through 13 M2TS, and not in numeric order.

So here's the method I used to identify the movie parts in all that mess :

- I go to the PLAYLIST folder of the BR Disc structure. Here there are loads of mpls files. Most are 1 KB, but movie playlist seems to be 2-10 KB.

- when opening any mpls file with notepad, there's a long string with lots of funny character, but you can see a pattern like this :

M2TSFILE1 - audio1 - audio2 - ... - subtitle1 - subtitle2 - ... - commentaryaudio1 - commentaryaudio2 - ... - M2TSFILE2 - audio1 - ... - M2TSFILEEND

* M2TSFILE show as their name without '.', like 0048M2TS for the 0048.m2ts file
* audio tracks show as a 'a' followed by 3 letters corresponding for the language, like 'aeng' for english audio or 'afra' for french audio
* subtitles show as 3 letters corresponding for the language, like 'eng' for english subtitles or 'fra' for french subtitles
* commentary audio tracks show as a '`' followed by 3 letters corresponding for the language, like '`eng' for english commentary audio
* M2TSFILEEND is a M2TSFILE without any audio or subtitles or commentary following. it's a small m2ts file that seems to mark the end of the movie

So basically, all you have to do is :
1) identify the correct mpls file corresponding to the movie, which is easier to do if you know the list of audio, commentaries and subtitles from the blu-ray disc.
2) identify all the M2TSFILE in the mpls file in their order of appearance, excepting the M2TSFILEEND, then launch a copy /b with all the corresponding m2ts files from the STREAM folder of the BR Disc structure.

Now for the movie I was talking about, the movie playlist was 00030.mpls
Here's the command I used to build the movie M2TS file :

copy /b 00048.m2ts+00049.m2ts+00035.m2ts+00037.m2ts+00039.m2ts+00061.m2ts+00032.m2ts+00034.m2ts+00046.m2ts+00036.m2ts+00038.m2ts+00040.m2ts+00041.m2ts TSMovieWithDW.m2ts

For now I just compared the reencoded LPCM audio with french subtitles, and all movie parts seem in correct order. :)

I had a lot of discontinuity warnings during xport demux of the LPCM and VC1 streams, though, don't know if it's important or not.

I see you're using Vista. I don't know the first thing about Vista, nor do I want to.
Perhaps someone else can help you.

raw VC-1 track -> Elecard Demuxer -> Sonic Video Decoder 4.2

Be aware that you will have audio drift issues on some titles with the above graph. Batman Begins does not show this artifact much, but others like King Kong, the Game, etc. will give you nightmares.

You should try whenever possible to use:

FEATURE.EVO (Haali Media splitter) -> WMVideo Decoder DMO

I don't believe anyone has identified the root cause of the audio/video drifting problem with the Sonic Video Decoder. It's very subtle, and will drive you mad. BTW the problem is not influenced at all by setting the frame count wrong.

Just to reiterate what enantiometer is saying, DO NOT use the vc1 method. I tried using this with Fearless. BIG no no. Audio drifted off at the end by 1-2 seconds no matter what. Closest I could ever get it was 500ms. The EVO method is much easier, and requires less filters. It will require a bit more space, but other than that, its cake.

It means that the E-AC3 track either isn't a E-AC3 track or that it's not beginning with a valid E-AC3 header. Do you have this problem with one specific movie, only? Or with all movies you're trying now? And can you actually play those E-AC3 tracks?

I have no problems using the eac3to.exe on movies I've encoded. I DO have problems with more documentary type HD-DVDs such as Nature's Colors and Discovery Brazil.

This graph doesn't work with Sonic Cinevision. In fact I didn't find any method or graph that works well with Cinevision. Using the Sonic filters, I get choppy video for the first minutes, until a scene change (it seems).

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks.

Pitou!
