I think it is. At least I too have EMC10 and I have it. I cannot think of anywhere else it would have come from. How have you checked?


Well. I loaded EMC10, ran eac3to with the -sonic switch and eac3to reported sonic filter not found.

Thanks anyway, I've found an alternative source.

i do not make a downconvert from the video, i put the video untouched in the .mkv file
is there a way that eac3to do mux audio in the .mkv file in only one step ?
is it better to let eac3to to create the .mkv file or is it better to make it self with mkvmerge ?

Best process, which has produced flawless results for me at least, is to let eac3to make the video MKV and the desired soundtrack, then make the final merge using mkvmerge.

[asarian]

Actually, where would one get the Nero decoder? It seems the Nero site only has the Nero 8 plugin, which is said not to work with eac3to.

Thanks.

[asarian]

^^ I *did* try google, but there's no such archive that has the Nero 7 Blueray (sic!) HD plug-in, which is what I need, right?

And on the Nero site they specifically mention that the Nero 8 plug can't be used outside Nero. So, chances of me finding that old Nero 7 plugin have greatly diminished, I fear.

Go to the nero shop, choose plugins on the left, it will ask you what version you own. Once you choose 7, the HD-DVD BD plugin appears.

[asarian]

Sadly, that's just one and the same plugin:

http://www.nero.com/enu/bluray-hddvd-video-plugin.html

I'm not a complete moonbrain. :) It leads to a combined 7 + 8 plugin, where they expressly state:

"The Blu-ray/HD DVD Video Plug-in cannot be used as a stand-alone product. Playback of commercial Blu-ray Disc titles (BD-ROM) is only available with Nero 8."

I guess they simply discontinued the old 7 plugin, and only use a backwards compatible one now: one which can't be accessed from the outside (by eac3to) any more.

[Yraen]

What can I tell you. That's where I bought it after Nero 8 was out.

[nautilus7]

@ asarian

The plug-in is the same. Actually, there's nothing to install. You just buy a license.

If you had read the 1st post of this thread, you wouldn't ask these questions.

For best AC3 and E-AC3 decoding you need:
(1) Nero 7 (Nero 8 won't work!)
(2) Nero HD-DVD / Blu-Ray plugin

None said anything about nero7 plug-in.

I guess you're right. :) I just read it that way. Ok, I'm off to buy the plug-in then!

@madshi,

I am currently looking into MPLS parsing. What I want to find out for the time being is the m2ts files making up the playlist and to reliably detect the main movie MPLS. Do you have any information concerning that?

See this link (http://www.nero.com/eng/bluray-hddvd-video-plugin.html)
it seems we need nero 7.8 or higher. Can anyone confirm this?

[nautilus7]

Yes, nero 7.8.5.0 is needed. The "nero audio decoder 2" comes with that version or newer only. Nero 8 won't work, though.

[crazydane]

The option is already there! eac3to can demux DD+, TrueHD and DTS-HD MA tracks just fine today.
Madshi, now that it has been confirmed that Asus is coming out with a soundcard that can bitstream TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, I wanted to clarify your reply above.

In order for eac3to to demux TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, do I not need to specify an extension other than .ac3 or .dts?

Would it be:

TrueHD = audio.thd
DTS-HD MA = audio.dma

I mean, if I just use .ac3 or .dts for the extension of the soundtrack I want, is that not telling eac3to to transcode to lossy Dolby or DTS, as opposed to retain the original lossless encode?

Also, for DD+ I would use audio.eac, right? And what about DTS-HD? audio.dhd?

Thanks!

[Snowknight26]

I think its .thd and .dtshd respectively.

[crazydane]

Thanks Snow. So to recap:

DD+ = .eac
TrueHD = .thd
DTS-HD/DTS-HD MA = .dtshd

I think it would be great if this info could be added to the:

"Decoded audio data can be stored as / encoded to:"

Section on page 1 of this thread.

[rebkell]

eac3to will not stripPullDown on HD-DVD AVC streams, only on VC-1, is that correct?

[Snowknight26]

DD+ = .eac


Actually, that one is .eac3.

[nautilus7]

.eac3 or .ddp

Hi yesgrey3. All what you really need is the key :-)) The plugin will be installed with your nero but it isn´t activ. On the nero page you can only buy a licence. You must give it in the nero controll center and all is ok. I think the plugins for 7 and 8 are the same.

[yesgrey]

inmetzi,
My reply was for jeffnoone who referred was using nero 7.5.7.0 and even with the key had problems, but thank you for referring the key, I realize my post was incomplete.:)

So, we need the key for activating the plugin, and nero 7, version 7.8.5.0 or higher, because only those have the plugin included to be activated.

PS: madshi, maybe could be a good idea if you also include the nero 7 version number needed in your first post...

[boombastic]

I just want to say a big big thanks to the author of this program:with megui and you r tool, backuing up a Blu Ray to a MKV with the best possbile quality is just so easy!!!Many many thanks!

[laserfan]

So, we need the key for activating the plugin, and nero 7, version 7.8.5.0 or higher, because only those have the plugin included to be activated.

PS: madshi, maybe could be a good idea if you also include the nero 7 version number needed in your first post...Yes. Further, it could be noted in the first post that only "Showtime" needs to be installed, and the HD/BD plugin activated. SmartStart and Nero Scout also get installed but Scout can be de-activated if one works hard enough at it!

I notice there is a new May 30, 2008 update to Nero7, version 7.11.10.0 which is available here (http://www.nero.com/enu/downloads-nero7-update.php). But the Release Notes (http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero7-release-notes.html) only include to 7.11.6.0 so I can't tell if there is any change at all to Nero Showtime. My own version (updated to 7.10.1) comes with Showtime 3.10.1.0 which does not appear to have changed, not w/7.11.6 anyway.

1. Does anyone here have 7.11.10.0? What version Showtime therein? Release Notes? My gosh it's massive at 388Mb vs. update 7.10.1 which was only 177Mb!?

2. Could Ahead Nero possibly have made things more complex, both for end-users and for themselves? :rolleyes:

[yesgrey]

Yes, I installed it. Showtime is 3.10.1.0, apparently only BurningRom was updated. The size is 388MB because it's the multi-language pack. Your previous with 177MB was only english, right?

Sorry for the off-topic...

Is there any place with more detailed instructions for using eac3to? Reading more >100 pages for finding what I need it's a real pain...

[deathlord]

Is there any place with more detailed instructions for using eac3to? Reading more >100 pages for finding what I need it's a real pain...

There is... (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to/FAQ)

[nautilus7]

Actually, that page is part of the manual: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/eac3to

It's incomplete and kinda out of date though (it doesn't not have latest eac3to features).

[yesgrey]

That's exactly what I was looking for! Could be outdated, but the basics are all there!
:thanks:

Why is not a link to the manual in the first post?

[jeffnoone]

Can I get some help with regard to E-AC3 and standard AC3

I have a HD-DVD where all audio tracks are E-AC3, but the English one (the one I'm interested in ) is 1536kbit/s (others are 768)

Now I want to put this into a BD structure

So when I run eac3to on the 2 connected .evo files, and output the ac3 only - eac3to seems to use the Sonic encoder, and convert s the E-AC3 to AC3 at 640. Note I didnt change any buttons on Eac3to and more GUI - left at default - most recent version used

When I run tsRemuxeR, it leaves the E-AC3 intact (and playable?), so its left at 1536

TWO questions:

Q. 1. How do I get eac3to to output the E-AC3?

Q. 2. I know support of E-AC3 is optional in the BD world, I will be using PS3 to play, which I believe supports it.
BUT will a BD with a E-AC3 track only play properly more widely (eg if I was to burn to BD disc)
Or would I be better off putting both the AC3 and the E-AC3 onto the BD disc/folders


Thanks Jeff

Before anyone points out the obvious of why I am using a program called "eac3to" and still wanting to get eac3 out, the reason for this I am a relative noob, and my reading indicated that eac3to gave best demuxed output, remaining in sync, with multipart .evo or branching .evo
This is a straight two part .evo - but overall wanted to make sure whatever AC3 I use, it is fully synced


I demuxed the same file using evodemux, eac3to and tsremuxer:

This is what I got for a 2hr 15min VC-1, E-AC3 original files (FEATURE_1.EVO and FEATURE_2.EVO):

Video (size in Windows Explorer):
tsRemuxer 19,436,556
evodemux 19,436,643
Eac3to 19,436,643


Audio:
tsRemuxer 1,527,399
evodemux 1,527,401
Eac3to 636,418

The diference in size of the video files represent only 0.04 sec, so seems inconsequential
Any comments on why there are minor (probably negligible) differences?


Final question:
What is best tool to give exact lenghts of video and audio files, once demuxed? MediaInfo only gives to the minute for audio files

[Thunderbolt8]

the remuxing of the cinema paradiso blu-ray results in a problem, eac3to says "This doesn't seem to be a valid h264/AVC stream." and doesnt recognize the video stream.

heres a 100mb sample: http://www.mediafire.com/?uydzmenzsn0

anyone else encountered this problem as well?

[jeffnoone]

OK, I figured out part of the question 2 posts above

the way I got eac3to to output an E-AC3 (eac3) was to use the enhanced GUI to "pretend" to output an AC3, then use Ctrl-C on the command window area, copy the (long) string of commands into notepad, change .ac3 to .eac3, save as batch fiel and run from command window
File is same size as evodemux

Still interested in answers to:

Q. 2. I know support of E-AC3 is optional in the BD world, I will be using PS3 to play, which I believe supports it.
BUT will a BD with a E-AC3 track only play properly more widely (eg if I was to burn to BD disc)
Or would I be better off putting both the AC3 and the E-AC3 onto the BD disc/folders


q.3 Any comments on why there are minor (probably negligible) differences between different demuxers?


Q4. What is best tool to give exact lengths of video and audio files, once demuxed? MediaInfo only gives to the minute for audio files

[dburckh]

I looked through the archives of this beast of a thread on how to convert HD DVD TrueHD and mux it to TS. It kind of died. Wanted to bring up a couple of things. I know you can have PCM in TS, I've done it with Ratatouille. Plays fine on my Popcornhour.

So converted some TrueHD to .wav, but what I ended up with with 16-bit. eac3to said something about only being 16-bit. I'm using the Nero 7 codecs. Is this due to the source, or did I due something wrong?

I've only ever seen 24-bit BluRay PCM, so I don't know if 16-bit is supported. TsMuxer muxed it, but it did play on my Popcornhour. I don't know if it was the 16-bit or a bug in TsMuxer (I didn't use TsMuxer for Ratatouille.) Anybody had any luck with this?

[yonta]

@dburckh

You did nothing wrong and it's not a bug in eac3to or tsMuxeR.
There are a lot of 16-bit TrueHD and LPCM tracks in HD DVD and Blu-ray.

[nautilus7]

madshi, Flac btw is perfectly OK, but I just wonder what that means... It's a bug in libav decoder. Doesn't make any difference though, the track should be fine as you said. If you have nero decoder, you can try it and compare the two tracks.

[dburckh]

@dburckh

You did nothing wrong and it's not a bug in eac3to or tsMuxeR.
There are a lot of 16-bit TrueHD and LPCM tracks in HD DVD and Blu-ray.

I've only seen 24-bit, but I haven't played with it much. I'll have a look-see at the PMT and see what's up there. There's a lot that can go wrong, decode, muxing, Popcornhour, and Amp. I'll see if I can find a BluRay with 16-bit PCM.

Looks like Casino Royale is 16-bit. I'll run that thought RemuxTool and see what I get. Then I'll compare the PMT to what TsMuxer generated.

@madshi

ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre build 113 Trial:

http://www.arcsoft.com/support/downloads/downloadnow.asp?downloadid=384

can decode DTS-HD MA including DTS-HD MA 7.1 channels using GraphEdit:

FileSource (Async.) -> ArcSoft MPEG Demuxer -> ArcSoft Audio Decoder HD -> Dump.ax

still doing tests, but initial results look very promising, i.e. decodes are bit-perfect.

[asarian]

Just a quick question. When converting DTS to AC3, using eac3to and the Sonic Audio Decoder (which takes about 9 minutes), I see only 1 of my 4 cores is being used. Does eac3to have a multi-threaded switch by any chance? I couldn't find any. Or maybe the Sonic Audio Decoder is not muti-threaded?

Thanks

[nautilus7]

It seems xkodi is right. :D

Did some tests also and:
1. Arcosoft decoder decodes the full DTS-HD info
2. It can output 7.1ch 24bit

I used The Orphanage Blu-ray with 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio sound and i got 7.1 channels using xkodi's graph. When I set the decoder to 5.1 ch, I got bit identical results with Sonic decoder (except from some garbage data at the beginning). Below are screenshots from the 2 decoders (5.1 sonic and 7.1 arcsoft).

[xkodi]

still doing tests, but initial results look very promising, i.e. decodes are bit-perfect.

some results:

1) DTS-HD MA, 5.1 channels, 24bits, 48kHz: ArcSoft decodes identical to Sonic, i.e. bit-perfect

2) DTS-HD MA, 5.0 channels, 24bits, 96kHz: ArcSoft decodes as 5.1 channel WAV with silent (all bytes are zero) LFE channel, other 5 channels identical to Sonic, i.e. again it is bit-perfect

3) DTS-HD MA, 5.1 channels, 16bits, 48kHz: ArcSoft decodes always as 24bit, but LSB is not zero, when convert to 16bit with Wavewizard 0.54b it is identical to Sonic. however, because of the rounding error during the 24bit->16bit conversion some byte are greater or lesser with 1 than the corresponding reference byte from the Sonic decode, but still it is it is bit-perfect decode

4) DTS-HD MA, 7.1 channels, 24bits, 48kHz: ArcSoft decodes all 7.1 channels, first 6 channels are identical to the 6 channels decoded by Sonic, so we can assume that the channel 7 and 8 are decoded also bit-perfect, but it is not a proof for that we need good sample like Blu-ray with 7.1 LPCM (or TrueHD) for reference and DTS-HD MA 7.1 24bits track to compare against.

5) DTS-HD MA, 7.1 channels, 16bits, 48kHz: "Dragon Tiger Gate" Blu-ray has TrueHD 7.1 track and DTS-HD MA 7.1 16bits track. the six channels decoded by Sonic are identical to the first 6 channels from the TrueHD 7.1 decoded with libav. however, ArcSoft failed to decode the 16bits DTS-HD MA 7.1 track. the result is very strange, because seems like channel 1 and channel 2 are decoded as all zero.

@madshi:

When demuxing a m2ts-File with MPEG2-VideoCodec the Videofile is defekt and not playing on Standaloneplayer.

The Problem ist - the Header is 2x at the beginning of the m2v-File.

@madshi:

When demuxing a m2ts file (extracting DTS sound of "The Matrix"), eac3to reported a 600000ms offset (10 mins). That seems a bit excessive. :) I was able to correct it again by specifying a negative -600000ms delay to compensate. But any idea what might have caused this?

@ Asarian

This isn't a studio made blu-ray. You made with tsmuxer, right? It happens all the time with my tsmuxer made m2ts files. I think it's a problem with tsmuxer, so i recommend you ask there. :)

@ ALL

When asking something or posting a log or whatever, please say which movie it is and if it's not an original disc say how it was made. It's that someone else has that movie and can test it. :thanks:
