eac3to - audio conversion tool

[honai]

Mh, Strange.
eac3to gives Warnings on a lot of 23.976Fps 1080p x264 MKV/M2TS

M2TS, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 1:27:08, 24p /1.001
1: h264/AVC, 1920x800 23.976p (12:5)
2: DTS Hi-Res, German, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 3018kbps, 48khz
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48khz)
3: DTS, English, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 755kbps, 48khz
[v01] The video bitstream is encoded in a non-standard framerate. <WARNING>

But the Video is surely encoded in 23.976FPs (trough AVS with DGIndex/Decode). All other Tools/Palyser shows me correct 23.976Fps.

Whats wrong there?

The container says 24/1001 (which is a fraction, not a fixed number), but the video inside the container says 23.976 (which is a fixed number, not a fraction), so because of that mismatch you get a warning.

[ACrowley]

ah ok thank you

But some x264 Files with 23.976fps are working without Warnings but other Files not ?

A dts file created from surcode will most definitely sound better than a core ac3 file if the source is the same. Such as a lossless audio track, like true hd. Remember, there is no magic way the studios have to encode an ac3 file. The same could be said of dts. Surcode outputs the same dts file as a studio would(if not very, very, close)
I don't think so, DTS 1.5 have near quality as DD 448 and DTS is somewhere better, somewhere DD, but DD 640 produce alot better than any DTS codec including DTS Pro Suite Encoder, and Surcode. I doing some deep ABX, chanel vs chanel vs original with HD 650 earphones. Anyway EBU aslo find same in their Multichanel ABX and here is publicy doc http://www.ebu.ch/CMSimages/en/tec_doc_t3324-2007_tcm6-53801.pdf. DTS is very bad option for archiving except DTS HD-MA offcourse. It produce very large file and quality are not superb, not for my ears :) IMHO

hi madshi, just to report...

"Bitstream parsing for track 3 failed" msg reported when running eac3to (3.15) on an mkvtoolnix/mkvmerge(2.6.0)-created .mkv file for a muxed VobSub track (3) created with BDSup2Sub 3.1.0 (i.e. idx/sub file pair source)
(other/first 2 tracks are h.264 720p video and DTS audio)

.mkv file plays just fine with ZoomPlayer using VSFilter

[djesteban]

Guys, is there an advantage using eac3to to demux audio/video track instead of working with tsMuxer?... or do they do the exact same thing on this level?
Thanks

[laserfan]

Guys, is there an advantage using eac3to to demux audio/video track instead of working with tsMuxer?...AFAICT wrt demuxing, eac3to properly handles seamless branching discs (with attendant audio gaps) while tsMuxeR does not.

Be careful when looking through that EBU document. Many of the test codecs are Dolby Digital Plus, not Dolby Digital.

In all the phase 1 codecs, DTS 1.5 Mbps outperformed every other codec. It outperformed DD 448kbps by a pretty substantial margin, and also outperformed (barely) DD+ 448 kbps.

Unfortunately, DD 640kbps was not tested. However, from some trends that you can identify throughout that data, DD640 should be very close to DTS 1.5M, maybe exceeds it, maybe not.

All performance measurements were done by ABX testing, by the way.

i have a 6.1 DTS track from a PAL DVD (25 fps) and want to sync it to a Blu-ray (23.976 fps), what are my options for lossless conversion?
suppose i have no special encoder installed, i bet my only option would be the eac3to slowdown and conversion to PCM/WAV?
if i would have the Surcode DTS encoder i would be limited to 5.1 iirc?
just for a later possible case for a 5.1 track, would the reencoding with the Surcode DTS Encoder result in a lossless conversion or not? (in relation to the already lossy compressed DTS source)

lossless conversion is impossible. Reencoding (timestretch/Resampling+reencoding in your case) is always lossy (either you use lossless Formats like FLAC )

eac3to.exe yoursourcedts.dts output.wavs -slowdown -r8brain

You will get 7 mono waves (when its dts es 6.1 discrete, but only 5.1 output when its dts es matrix)

That will provide a "very" conversion from DTS ES 6.1 25fps to 23.976Fps

Also i wouldnt use Surcodode DTS Encoder. Its a low quality and outdated encoder. And you cant encode dts es 6.1 with surcode

DTS Pro Series is a certified Reference Encoder from DTS labs and outputs perfect quality.

But you can remux your Video to 25FPS lossless with MKVmerge. Then you can use your untouched 25fps DTS Track without any Conversion.
But ist not possible to timestrech Audio without reencoding.

[sucker]

btw how do i get the 6.1 discrete (according to the packaging) track off the DVD? DVD Audio Ripper only shows 5.1 (direct demux option)
what would the -r8brain option in eac3to do, i believe it´s a better quality conversion or something like that, if yes what´s the difference to the standard eac3to conversion method? and what´s a "very" conversion? i´m still learning sorry for going on your nerves ;)
can i use the Wav64 or PCM option in combination with r8brain to remux later with tsmuxer? tsmuxer can´t handle mono wavs afaik?

[jj666]

Also i wouldnt use Surcodode DTS Encoder. Its a low quality and outdated encoder.

Given the price tag for Surcode, is there any proof to that claim?

Cheers,

[Blue_MiSfit]

I tend to think that pricetag is invesely proportional with quality :)

Look at Aften versus Apple's AC3 encoder, or a $30k Dolby rackmount encoding server...

[Blue_MiSfit]

Here's a feature request that I'd absofreakinglutely _LOVE_ to see implemented:

QuickTime support :)

I deal with ProRes + PCM sources a lot, and currently use an AviSynth + SoundOut workflow to handle them.

It would be very nice to just do this:

eac3to movie.mov 2:audio.ac3 -384 -0,1,2,3,4,5

(to grab the first 6 channels and toss the rest)

~MiSfit

[shon3i]

It outperformed DD 448kbps by a pretty substantial marginWell both codecs are in EXCELENT range which means they have tied scores, DTS have bettere averge score but not by substantial margin as you said, they are very close, on some samples DTS show better scores, on somes DD show's. Since DD 640 not tested i tested myself and prove my expectations. Like i said earlier i run deep ABX, and comapre every channel

Many of the test codecs are Dolby Digital Plus, not Dolby Digital.I know what i am looking for ;)

Do you feel from your own personal experience and ABX testing that you would choose DD 640kbps encoded by eac3to.exe (uses libAften.dll for this conversion, I believe) over DTS 1.5 Mbps encoded by SurCode, given that the source for each encoder would be the same?

[turbojet]

Any idea why eac3to doesn't detect any of these AVCHHD/BD images from TSMuxer (http://www.sendspace.com/file/81wpv2) as bluray?

I also experience this when splitting with TSMuxer but full movies seem ok, does eac3to have a threshold on running time?

[tebasuna51]

...choose DD 640kbps encoded by eac3to.exe (uses libavcodec.dll for this conversion, I believe)...

Eac3to uses libAften.dll to encode to ac3.

Why eac3to changed oryginal video VC1 from 1080p 23.976fps to 1080i 29.97fps?

[jj666]

You didn't strip the pulldown flags from the stream, hence it shows 29.97fps, this is the format on the HDDVD disk. You can take them out using either EAC3TO (it does it by default these days) or TSMUXER (tick the remove pulldown box). The stream will then show as 23.976fps.

feature request: support for chapters in mkv while demuxing :)

[shadowolf64]

Is it possible to convert a 6 channel aac file to a 2 channel aac file with eac3to? And if so how? I couldn't find anything that looked like it could do that but I'm not very proficient with eac3to or audio files for that matter.

[TinTime]

Yes, sort of:

eac3to input.aac output.m4a -down2

The output is aac in m4a, not raw aac. I think you need the Nero directshow audio decoder to decode the input though. If not you'll need to decode your aac first to wav (not sure how) and do the same:

eac3to input.wav output.m4a -down2

[shadowolf64]

Ah thank you for the quick response. This is exactly what I was looking for, and m4a is fine I just need it to be in the aac format.

[umaximus]

Hi madshi, been awhile since I last posted here, but still using eac3to everyday :)

Anyway, have a question;

What is the difference if I just demux video stream with eac3to and mux it in mkv with mkvmerge instead of mux it directly into mkv with eac3to? Do stream/mkv header loose some important data?

Im asking this, as I found out that some AVC titles muxed in mkv with eac3to are causing small stutter on PCH but if demux this mkv with eac3to and mux it back with mkvmerge (inputing elementary raw video stream) then the stutter is gone. But since its double the work with this, am I safe to just demux the streams at first place?

btw, this is the link from nmt forum regarding this PCH problem;
http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=10602

[jamos]

Madshi I know your busy with the other renderer project. if you can release source code for eac3to that would be most excellent if you no longer have the time..

[sidekick2]

My older version of arcsoft is bugging me constantly about updating to version 3. I assume that the new version 3 stuff won't work with eac3to, which is why I'm holding off on upgrading. Are there some files to hold onto that I can copy elsewhere for eac3to to use? Which file does eac3to need in order to work properly?

Or, has anyone tried upgrading arcsoft to version 3 and had eac3to still work?

I really don't want to lose my eac3to tools!

Thanks!

i haven't tried, but DTS-HD decoded DLL in version 3 is exactly the same version as in version 2, so i guess eac3to will work .

eac3to( or Dshow Apps/Players) wont work with TMT v3

1. Arcsoft TMT 3 doesnt install Filters/Decoders in C:\Programme(x86)\CommonFiles and theyre not registered from installer in Dshow.
2. Its not possible to reg them manually .You get a Error Message from reg32. It looks like that we cant use the Filters from TMT v3 outside TMT.
However, the Decoder Versions are not updated so i dont care

Workaround :
-Install Arcsoft TMT 3 as usual and use it.
-Install Arsoft TMT 2.25 Standalone Decoder Package to use the Decoders in eac3to and other Apps.
It works in eac3to and TMT 3 use its on Filters from installation Folder

@umaximus
I cannot reproduce your Problem. All Files are working fine on my NMT A110.
Remuxed with eac3to and/or MKVmerge with all types of Audio (including DTSHD,TrueHD etc)

[sidekick2]

ACrowley,

I'm not quite understanding that 2nd part... Are you saying to install the old version of Arcsoft TMT 2.25 after installing 3.0? Or are you saying to download a specific decoder package from somewhere? If so, where? I've looked on Arcsoft's site, and googled, and I'm not finding a decoder only package?!?

Hmm.. looking in my C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Extreme\Digital Theatre\Codec I see the files in there. Should I just save a copy of that folder somewhere, or what?


Thanks!

Hi guys,

[jj666]

Hi Madshi,

I'm remuxing the main movie from Blu-ray disks and keeping all DTS-HD audio files intact. Would there be any way you would consider to make a note of the audio bitrate when demuxing as there is no easy way to ascertain the bitrate on VBR DTS-HD files (which 99% seem to be) as Mediainfo is not geared up to handle that type of file. I did already ask Zenitram about adding, I think on his list of "to-do's" for the far future as it would mean Mediainfo needs to scan the entire file which is not possible at the moment. I'm forced to use BDInfo at the moment to scan the entire disk, which can be time consuming.

Cheers,

-jj-

[tebasuna51]

...Would there be any way you would consider to make a note of the audio bitrate when demuxing as there is no easy way to ascertain the bitrate on VBR DTS-HD files ...
Is easy to know the average bitrate if you have the DTS-HD demuxed:

bitrate = filesize_in_bits / duration_in_seconds

[jj666]

Thank you for your insight tebasuna51.

I'm just testing a file I have with the following information:

DTS-HD MA:
1.36 gigabytes = (11408506.88 kilobits) calculator (http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=1.36&input_units=gigabytes&notation=legacy)
1 hour 37 minutes 26 seconds (5846 seconds)
= bitrate 1951.50 kbps

compares adequately to the mentioned av. bitrate of 1991 kbps in BDINFO after full scan :-).

Thanks again, this saves me a lot of time!

Cheers,

-jj-

i use eac3to to convert dts fps from 25 to 23.976

i have SurCode DVD DTS 1.0.21; but eac3to reports SurCode can't read .wave file whatever, then exit; the worst thing is it delete all generated .wave files and i can't even bebug what's wrong there

can i somehow at least keep those .wave files and use Surcode directly?

thanks

I have the same issue with Tsmuxer and Ripbot264 not recognizing my .dts file. I just saw this in another post:

He ran the .dts file through eac3to again and it's working for him. I'm going to try this myself.

The latest eac3to breaks Linux support via wine for me. I now get:

$ wine ~/eac3to/eac3to video "1)" 2: video.vc1 3: audio.ac3
Error reading file "video\BDMV\STREAM\00004.m2ts".

This same command worked perfectly on a previous version of eac3to (can't remember which one). I think it's because eac3to uses \ instead of / characters for the path. Does anyone know how to work around this?

When you encode with Surcode use the .cpt (compact) format instead the .dts (padded) format. After rename to dts.

I see what you mean. I ran it through eac3to again and it removed the padding. Now it works with TsMuxer.

Thanks,

Removing DTS zero padding...
Creating file "wdky_new.dts"...
eac3to processing took 2 minutes, 8 seconds.
Done.

I have a problem. I load the track in eac3to and select to decode it, but nothing happens... and I wait, and wait. I tried everyting: changed the version of the program with newer, reinstalled the codecs, but the problem still is the same. Usually when i load the track in the program and select to decode it, it opens CMD for a second or two and makes an analyse, then i can do my job.
What's the problem? And how can I fix it?
