eac3to - audio conversion tool

[madshi]

Sorry for not posting my new results with The Game Plan sooner.

It must be some kind of mastering error. I tested every m2ts file in the playlist and found the problem(s).

Sorry for taking your time with this problem.
Wow, so the Blu-Ray disc itself is really screwed up? :eek: Can you confirm that with a standalone Blu-Ray player (in case you have one) or with PowerDVD or ArcSoft TotalTheatre?

Wow, so the Blu-Ray disc itself is really screwed up? :eek: Can you confirm that with a standalone Blu-Ray player (in case you have one) or with PowerDVD or ArcSoft TotalTheatre?

There is one (a bit shorter) playlist that I think is OK (have not watched the movie yet though). But the problem is in some m2ts so I guess the same problem will exist when played back on a standalone.

Must be some kind of mastering error. Or some kind of screwed up interactive feature (can't find such feature with the arcsoft player though....and I don't know why you would create m2ts files with audio out of place in this manner)

[madshi]

The problem is that some broken playlists may be there on the disc but may never be used by the disc's user interface. In such a situation you wouldn't see the problem when playing the disc with an "official" player which shows the full user interface and let's the user decide through the interface which playlist to play. Maybe something like that is what has happened here. Or maybe (as you say) it's some kind of interactivity stuff. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that eac3to is innocent. One bug less to fix for me... :)

eac3to v2.58 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* h264 parser rewritten: framerate, pulldown etc is detected reliably now
* h264 pulldown is automatically removed from progressive movie sources now
* h264 pulldown removal can be disabled by using "-keepPulldown"
* h264 muxing now fully supports streams with mixed 23.976 and 29.970 content
* h264 1920x1088 bitstream is now automatically patched/cropped to 1920x1080
* h264 filler data is now already removed during demuxing
* h264 sources with funny framerates (e.g. Luxe.tv HD) are patched to 25fps now
* mixed video/movie h264 streams are now always muxed with 29.970 timestamps
* speedup/slowdown now changes framerate information in the h264 bitstream
* options "-24p", "-60i" and "-30p" are no longer supported
* fixed Blu-Ray seamless branching subtitle remuxing
* added workaround for Blu-Ray playlists with a last small "invalid" m2ts part
* bitdepth analyzation is now done for decoded FLAC, WAV, PCM, DTS MA, too
* bitrate is now also reported for FLAC, WAV and PCM tracks
* when encoding AC3, DTS or AAC, the encoding bitrate is reported
* fixed: v2.57 incorrectly decoded 16bit TrueHD tracks to 24bit FLAC/WAV/RAW
* (M2)TS discontinuities before the first unit start are ignored now
* new option "-progressnumbers" replaces progress bar with percentage numbers
eac3to's new h264 pulldown removal algorithm provides similar results to the "h264info" tool. But eac3to is more than 500% faster compared to h264info. Not sure about the exact performance numbers. Maybe someone with fast harddisks can test and report (tests should be done with 2 harddisks, one for the source file and one for the destination file, to avoid being limited by harddisk performance).

Now pulldown removal capability in eac3to is complete: Pulldown can be removed from all 3 supported video codecs (MPEG2, VC-1 and h264). And the performance of the pulldown removal is significantly faster compared to the original tools. Furthermore pulldown removal is now mostly automatically activated by default, even if you only demux a video track. Here's when it's activated and when not:

(1) h264: pulldown removal is always activated by default.
(2) VC-1: pulldown removal is always activated by default.
(3) MPEG2: pulldown removal is activated by default only for EVO and M2TS sources.

The "-stripPulldown" option consequently makes sense only for MPEG2 sources. The option "-keepPulldown" can be used to disable the automatic pulldown removal for all 3 video codecs.

This might be a similar problem compared to the "program mapping changes" problem. Does the problem also occur at the very end of the remuxing process for you (when you almost think it's done and successful)? And does the playlist 1) also contain multiple m2ts parts of which the last one is very small? In that case please upload that last m2ts file for me and another 20MB from any of the other m2ts parts of the playlist 1). Then I can probably fix it. Thanks!

hi, madshi and 10x again 4 the great tool, btw is this a bug or... MkvToolnix (2.2.0.0, 2008-08-19) is up to date

rica, you really need to stop posting useless junk. :\

OK, i'll ask to you next time, you tell me me what to post :cool:

[Snowknight26]

I can only guess that there isn't any data in the subtitle track.

Edit: Something about that vob file is strange, though. eac3to cannot demux video/audio tracks for whatever reason. Will look into that. But the subtitle track seems to be really empty. E.g. EvoDemux doesn't even list it.

Disregard that. When joining the VOB, I forgot to include the very 1st VOB that was only 8 KB. Didn't think it'd make a difference; guess I was wrong.

[madshi]

Ok, thanks. Will be fixed in the next build.

No go. Triple checked to make sure I had it right, and rebooted.
Well, then I don't know why it doesn't work. Does it work in GraphEdit? Have you installed the latest ArcSoft update(s)?

[Audionut]

Does it work in GraphEdit?

It would connect and play, but no audio out.

Re-install seems to have fixed it. Working now.


Thanks.

TrueHD tracks on HD DVD - Please can someone tell me if it's possible to remove the TrueHD audio from an HD DVD unconverted to enable me to mux it using tsMuxer with a 'fixed' VC1 evo file to make a Blu-Ray. I don't want the TrueHD converted to flac, as I'll be burning to a BD-R for playback via an HD amp.
Thanks.

[Fer]

Great, thank you Madshi.

:thanks: :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

[Thunderbolt8]

what exactly was meant with that 2.57 fix that 16-bit truehd track were incorrectly decoded to 24-bit? there didnt seem to be any increase in filesize for the FLAC track at least, the files had the same sizes as typical 16-bit flac tracks for me. do I still have to redo all those thruehd -> flac tracks done with 2.57?

[madshi]

TrueHD tracks on HD DVD - Please can someone tell me if it's possible to remove the TrueHD audio from an HD DVD unconverted to enable me to mux it using tsMuxer
tsMuxeR doesn't properly support TrueHD muxing, as far as I've heard.

what exactly was meant with that 2.57 fix that 16-bit truehd track were incorrectly decoded to 24-bit? there didnt seem to be any increase in filesize for the FLAC track at least, the files had the same sizes as typical 16-bit flac tracks for me. do I still have to redo all those thruehd -> flac tracks done with 2.57?
The FLAC files are alright, they are just marked as 24bit and decode to 24bit, with the lower 8bit all zeroed out. Not a problem at all. The files are not bigger than 16bit FLAC files nor do they sound different. So you don't really have to redo them. It's just not "nice" that they are flagged as 24bit, although only 16bit are filled with data. But it's just a cosmetic issue.

[Thunderbolt8]

so its basically only madflac or any other flac decoder, which reports fake 24-bits at playback? I leave them as they are then. thanks!

[moshmothma]

Thanks for the nice feedback, guys!

Madshi, the problem seems to occur near the end. The playlist does have multiple parts. I have uploaded a sampling from the first two files in the playlist and the last two files. Thanks

Yes.

Madshi, the problem seems to occur near the end. The playlist does have multiple parts. I have uploaded a sampling from the first two files in the playlist and the last two files.
I've checked these. The first two look like this:

1: VC-1, 1080i60 /1.001 (16:9)
2: TrueHD/AC3, 5.1 channels, 48khz
3: AC3, 2.0 channels, 256kbps, 48khz
4: Subtitle (PGS)

The last small two look like this:

1: VC-1, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) with pulldown flags
2: AC3, 2.0 channels, 224kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
3: AC3, 2.0 channels, 224kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
4: Subtitle (PGS)
As you can see, the last two m2ts parts have totally different video and audio track properties compared to the rest of the movie. Now a media player could easily notice the change and adjust its output accordingly. But eac3to is not a media player but just exports the raw video and audio streams. And it just doesn't make any sense to join e.g. a "TrueHD+AC3" track together with a simple "AC3" track. The end result wouldn't play correctly. That's why eac3to cannot handle this situation correctly.

I'll "fix" it in the next build by ignoring the last few m2ts parts, if they are very small and have different audio or video track parameters.

with the latest version against CJ7 an h264 file that has the tiny last m2ts issue.

Does anybody have any comments, thoughts, or input regarding Surcode's MLP encoder?

I just recently recoded a BD LPCM track that was 4GB to MLP that finished at 1.7GB, obviously the space saved is one benefit, unfortunately I am unaware of any muxing applications to get this back to the BD structure. tsMuxeR or Scenarist doesn't like this file type, whether it's .ac3 or .mlp.

Can anybody offer some tips, advice, or anything regarding this matter.

Also, will eac3to work with the Surcode MLP encoder in the future... like it does with the DTS encoder?

Thanks, ~O

[madshi]

eac3to v2.59 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* extension ".thd+ac3" is supported now to define destination format
* TrueHD tracks without AC3 core can be converted to TrueHD/AC3 now
* demuxing a single-part Blu-Ray title keeps the original "TrueHD/AC3" data
* demuxing a multi-part Blu-Ray title automatically redoes the AC3 substream
* added workaround for Blu-Ray playlists with multiple last "invalid" parts
* fixed: "-check" didn't work for LPCM tracks
If you want to make a demuxed HD DVD TrueHD track (or a Blu-Ray TrueHD track demuxed by an older eac3to version) fit for Scenarist Blu-Ray muxing you can do this:

eac3to source.thd dest.thd+ac3

This will automatically create an AC3 track and interweave it with the TrueHD track. Of course if your source is an HD DVD folder, you can directly do e.g. "eac3to hddvdMovie 1) 1: video.mkv 3: audio.thd+ac3". That will demux the TrueHD track and interweave an AC3 track at the same time. If you just want to make the TrueHD track Blu-Ray compatible, but don't want to actually *ever* make use of the embedded AC3 track, you can ask eac3to to use a really low bitrate to save space, e.g. "eac3to source dest.thd+ac3 -192".

Please be aware, though, that there's no TrueHD encoder available at this time (at least not for us consumers). So you cannot convert LPCM tracks or any other formats to TrueHD. You can only convert TrueHD tracks to TrueHD/AC3 or vice versa. Please also be aware that you cannot specify an external AC3 file to be used for interweaving. eac3to will always create a new one (by transcoding the TrueHD track to AC3 during processing) - except when demuxing a TrueHD/AC3 track from a single-part m2ts movie.

I don't think that Blu-Ray supports MLP/AC3 tracks. It only supports TrueHD/AC3 tracks, I believe. As a result I don't have any hope that this will work. MLP and TrueHD are "related" but not identical. Or can the Surcode encoder also create TrueHD files?

Hello there, madshi! If I haven't said so already, many many thanks for this amazing tool! I can finally remux seamless branched blu-ray titles and watch them on my Popcorn Hour NMT :)

Although, I ran into two problems with the following titles:

I thought the two were the same (MLP & TrueHD), unfortunatley the only output option in the Surcode encoder is MLP.

Thanks for the quick response.


EDIT:
Also, is there a possibility to have a MLP to TrueHD conversion in the future?

[nautilus7]

@ samukas

For Chicago you need to change your command line like this:


"C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "H:\Chicago Blu-ray\Chicago\" 1) 2:"chicago.mkv" -seekToIFrames 4:"chicago.ac3" -keepDialnorm

Perhaps the resulting mkv stutters a little when seeking, but that's all you can do right now. It's a limitation of the haali muxer.

I don't have a clue regarding The Guardian.

[lexor]

@samukas, how come you -keepDialnorm on a track that has none reported? Or should I be asking if it is even possible for ac3 track to have no dialnorm (aka eac3to having a brain freeze)?

[samukas]

Thanks for your help, nautilus7, it seems to be working :D
I plan to remux it to a Transport Stream afterwards... I hope the resulting file will be OK ;)

[samukas]

@lexor, that's a good question LOL

I didn't even notice that, I used -keepDialnorm without even looking because all AC3 tracks have it... Apparently! It's the first time I see an ac3 track with no dialnorm =/

[madshi]

I believe this one has been mentioned before and it's a rip problem and not related to eac3to... Am I right?
It looks like a rip problem. So just rerip the disc.

No.

eac3to v2.59 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* extension ".thd+ac3" is supported now to define destination format
* TrueHD tracks without AC3 core can be converted to TrueHD/AC3 now
* demuxing a single-part Blu-Ray title keeps the original "TrueHD/AC3" data
* demuxing a multi-part Blu-Ray title automatically redoes the AC3 substream
* added workaround for Blu-Ray playlists with multiple last "invalid" parts
* fixed: "-check" didn't work for LPCM tracks
If you want to make a demuxed HD DVD TrueHD track (or a Blu-Ray TrueHD track demuxed by an older eac3to version) fit for Scenarist Blu-Ray muxing you can do this:

eac3to source.thd dest.thd+ac3

This will automatically create an AC3 track and interweave it with the TrueHD track. Of course if your source is an HD DVD folder, you can directly do e.g. "eac3to hddvdMovie 1) 1: video.mkv 3: audio.thd+ac3". That will demux the TrueHD track and interweave an AC3 track at the same time. If you just want to make the TrueHD track Blu-Ray compatible, but don't want to actually *ever* make use of the embedded AC3 track, you can ask eac3to to use a really low bitrate to save space, e.g. "eac3to source dest.thd+ac3 -192".

Please be aware, though, that there's no TrueHD encoder available at this time (at least not for us consumers). So you cannot convert LPCM tracks or any other formats to TrueHD. You can only convert TrueHD tracks to TrueHD/AC3 or vice versa. Please also be aware that you cannot specify an external AC3 file to be used for interweaving. eac3to will always create a new one (by transcoding the TrueHD track to AC3 during processing) - except when demuxing a TrueHD/AC3 track from a single-part m2ts movie.

Unfortunately, still some kind of hiccup with CJ7

Set eac3to lose on the separate m2ts parts (listed in "[]", e.g. for playlist 1 it's 00011.m2ts, 00125.m2ts, 00128.m2ts, 00129.m2ts and 00130.m2ts). I'm sure that eac3to has a good reason to complain. Some of these m2ts parts must have a different video or audio track listing compared to the other parts. Joining m2ts parts with different track lists can't work properly. So you need to find out which parts are different. Then we can go from there...

I believe madshi added this check in playlist level so eac3to doesn't abort during processing. All you have to do is to set the *correct* .m2ts files as input an not the playlist. Check which files have very small size and ignore them. Assuming only the last part has weird format, then you should modify your command like this:

D:\kid movies\cj7>C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe E:\BDMV/STREAM/00011.m2ts+00125.m2ts+00128.m2ts+00129.m2ts


And of course madshi beat me... Faster again. :p

If it's only the last one or the last few ones and if they are all together smaller than 5MB, eac3to is automatically ignoring them. This doesn't seem to be the case here. Maybe it's one of the files in the middle. Or maybe it's the last one and it's bigger than 5MB. Either way, it might be worth to not only check which part is different but also to play that different part in a media player to understand why it's different...

I tried running the command from the disc in the BD drive, some error.
