eac3to - audio conversion tool

[ACrowley]

Hello forum members,

I have released a new version of EAC3toGUI (v1.32) for your use.

Link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gtb38a

Changes to the new version include:

1. - Added -down6 option
2. - Added Audio Delay tab and option. You can now specifiy
audio delay/advance in ms
3. - Added -sonic filter option

Remember, as with previous version of EAC3toGUI, you should place the program in same directory as eac3to.exe. If you decide to place EAC3toGUI in a different directory, you should specify the location of eac3to.exe using the settings menu option.

Please report any bugs and feel free to post comments.

@madshi, please upload the updated program to your link on page 1.

Important :

- add Input Extension .thd (demuxed TrueHD) and .dtshd /.dts for dtshd and dts Input (eac3 with Sonic now decodes full DTSHD and standard dts Audio)

.flac ( to set a Delay for FLAC Input)

Because dts and dtshd decoding is most important new Feature. Also eac3 now supports demuxed Truehd (.thd)

Andy maybe you can add the trueHD/dts Core extraction. Should be enough to add the Input Output Extensions to remove Dialnorm from .ac3 and core extraction
from .dts and .thd

I got a eac3to error for the FLAC conversion of The Graduate's (Studio Canal) 2nd and 3rd DTS-HD track. for the first track though everything seems to be fine, the track was converted normally. but right after having pressed enter for the other 2 tracks eac3to & command line just crashed and gave me a windows error message (which I couldnt copy&paste). I've sent you 3x5MB samples of all 3 streams on that HD DVD, the errors happens for streams 01 and 02.

could the error maybe be caused, because those 2 tracks are only normal dts tracks? at least mediainfo tells so. while evodemux names them as DTS-HD on the main page -.-

Please try v1.36, available here..: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1zrqp8

Thank you for your continued efforts to improve this program. It's much appreciated.

I wanted to report one bug I found:
- the Source file and Destination file text boxes do not scroll horizontally. When the path exceeds the physical length of the box, the text box doesn't scroll. I think it's just a control setting, so it should be realy easy to fix. :) Thanks.

@madshi,
I forgot one other "wish" item in my earlier post.
- If possible to add an option, -keep, or something that would allow us to keep the working files created to achieve an end result. Right now, those files get deleted when the process is done. Thanks again.

Yes,with these new Extensions you can use all Functions from latest eac3to :)

But:
To set a Delay you must set the Value for positive Delay without + (correct= 100ms , not +100ms)

Your Gui 1.36 use a + :)

300 HD DVD with TrueHD -> FLAC

PTM of first video frame = 6E191637
PTM of last video frame = 800037B3
Duration = 0:55:37.334
VC-1 video stream 0 found!
First PTS = 2E191637 (+35791394ms)
Dolby TrueHD audio stream 1 found!
First PTS = 2E191637 (+35791394ms)

did the mathematical way again, according to the PTS both streams started at the same time in the original movie. compared length of remuxed video and FLAC track with mediainfo, the difference was 116ms. applied that delay, looks good. 116ms is also quite close to the 105ms you calculated for the blueray, which the trueHD track might need there, in case the LPCM track is in sync with no delay at all.

[The_Keymaker]

@Acrowley,

When setting the delay, it is not necessary to input a "+" sign. The EAC3toGUI program will automatically assign and precede the amount specified by a "+" in the command line for values greater than zero (0).

If this is incorrect, please give a clear example of how the delay parameter (both for delay and advance) is specified on the command line and I will correct the EAC3toGUI program.

For instance, all command line options are preceded by "-". So is +100ms implemented as -100ms on the command line? and is -100ms implemented as --100ms?

Please confirm.

Positive Delay :

Incorrect :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac +1000ms

Correct :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac 1000ms

Youre using +1000ms what is wrong

Negative Delay :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac -1000ms

eac3to use always -1000ms :)


Everything clear now ?

[ed_co]

I have a mkv file from the movie "300"
[4,29 GB (4.615.924.964 bytes)].

I want to convert the audio eac3 to ac3 (and next to mp3).

I extract the audio with mkvextract.

Then I try to convert the eac3 file to ac3, with eac3to, but the message that I see is the next:
C:\>"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\EAC3toGUI\eac3to.exe" "C:\a
udio.eac3" "C:\audio.ac3" -640 -sonic
E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 1:56:33, 640kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Remove Dialog Normalization information. Please wait...
This track is not clean. Processing aborted.
Please clean the track with delaycut and then retry eac3to."

I try to clean the eac3 file with delaycut, but I obtain a 53 mb file (aprox), with different methods (ignore, fix, silence, skip), but I haven't got any file succesfully.

I don't know how to make it. I hope that someone help me.

Thank you very much.

[ACrowley]

When youve no Succes to fix your eac3, you can disable the DialNorm Removing

In this Case eac3to should work because the 100% clean EAC3 is required for the DialNorm removement.

Also you can try to demux the eac3 with avimuxgui (extract binary). Maybe its caused by mkvextract

I just wanted to add that my command line looks fine when the delay is a positive value whether I enter it or use the up arrow to increment it. When I execute the command with the delay at 100, the command fails because 100 is written as !00 with the exclamation point. I have no idea why that is, but it's strange. It's always the left most 1 that is replaced with an !, e.g.,
1 = !
11 = !1
111 = !11

And the same goes for the 2s and 3s and so on. The pattern is that the characters shifted character is what shows up when the line is executed and it's always the first, e.g.,
2112 = @112
400 = $00
and so on.

I'm on Windows XP Pro with latest sps. Anyone else exhibiting this behavior?

Wow, that was fast. :) Thank you. A few things to report:
- Positive delay number issue that I was running into is fixed. whew. ;)
- Source horizontal scroll works, but not Destination
- The first time I ran it and pointed to the location of eac3to.exe, it ran it but without the drive letter, i.e., "\avutils\eac3to.exe" and so on. After I repointed to the location, it then ran it as "c:\avutils\eac3to.exe" and so on.
- I noticed that when the command line is executed, it uses the location of eac3to to run from. Can this be changed to the location of the source instead? Thoughts on this?

More wish list items:
- Any chance of adding a drag-and-drop feature for the known file types?
- Since eac3to supports .ac3 files for removing dialog normalization, any chance of adding this to the UI?
- After you close the app and reopen it, the Source file Browse takes you to the eac3to.exe location rather than "remembering" the last Source location. It would be nice if it "remembered" the last Source location.
Thanks for continuing to solidify this program. :D

OK, I trid it with the next results:
First don't found the nero file source or dts\ac3\dd+, I download a dtsac3source.ax (in VistaCodecs_v451.exe), and I registered it.

Then the error, were the next:
"C:\>"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\EAC3toGUI\eac3to.exe" "C:\audio.eac3" "C:\audio.ac3" -keepDialnorm
E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 1:56:33, 640kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Decoding eac3 file to raw. Please wait...
Getting "Nero Audio Decoder 2" instance failed."

But I select the sonic decoder (I had it, and I haven't got nero) with the next result:

"C:\>"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\EAC3toGUI\eac3to.exe" "C:\audio.eac3" "C:\audio.ac3" -sonic -keepDialnorm
E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 1:56:33, 640kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Decoding eac3 file to raw. Please wait..."

It made two things:
1) rename the audio.eac3 file to audio.tmp.ddp
2) made a small file called audio.raw (107mb) and I can't reproduce it (I suppose that it's normal).

I don't know, what can I do next.

Thank you.

[Thunderbolt8]

an observation I recently made regarding the delay of DTS-HD and TrueHD converted FLAC files: I've only made FLAC out of 3 DTS-HD movies so far, but none of them seemed to need any delay.

All the TrueHD flacs I've made needed some delay, mostly ~100-200ms. im so far to say that, when both streams, video and audio, begin at the same PTS in the evo, then I can work mathematically. I compare the length of each track, remuxed video to .mkv and length of the FLAC with mediainfo and use the difference as delay. So far all of the tracks I did that with looked good.

But the same thing just doesnt work for the DTS-HD flacs. the delay I get here from mediainfo is mostly <100ms difference and therefore hard to spot anyway, whether its needed or not. But when looking extremely closely it has always looked better when I applied no delay at all for those files instead of relying on the mathematical way, as I can do for the TrueHD FLACs. I dont know if thats maybe due to a read error of mediainfo, that it reads wrong information about the dts-hd tracks, but once its in FLAC format it shouldnt matter anyway any more, whether it was DTS-HD or TrueHD before. Since I've only had 3 DTS-HD tracks so far I cant say if all such tracks wont need any delay, but lets see what the future will bring.

So to sum it up: What worked for me for finding delay for TrueHD and DTS-HD is

1. no delay at all needed for DTS-HD so far
2. TrueHD delay calculated by length of .mkv video (23.9760239fps) - length of converted FLAC track.

the result in both cases looked well and COULD(!) maybe be completely identical with the original source status.

[morphx2]

Hmm..maybe you can help me out with my audio question

VC-1 video stream 0 found!
First PTS = 00000D45
Dolby Digital Plus audio stream 0 found!
First PTS = 00001105 (+10ms)

So in the audio delay feature, do I do +10ms like it says or -10ms to correct it? I am confused :) Or is there a mathematical way to figure out the correct delay (if evodemux is not the true delay)

Thanks!

You dont need single Nero Filters
When youve your Nero7 with HDDVD/BR Plugin installed, all Filters/Decoders are registred.
So for decoding eac3 with Nero youve already all what you need.

Your Error "Nero Audio Decoder 2" instance failed."
Sound sfor me youve worng Nero Version...You know, you can only use Nero 7 ? Nero8 will not work with eac3to !!
And/Or the HDDVD/BluRAy Plugin isnt properly installed

AH, dont use Sonic Decoder! You get full DRC/DialoNorm/Gain=BAD

Try :
1 As i say, demux eac3 from mkv with AvimuxGui!
2. Check Nero installation

@TheKeymaker
THX! It works

It would like to see this Features :

- When eac3to Process is complet, a simple "Complete/Done" Message from the Gui itself would be nice.
Because eac3to Command Promt Window closes autom

-Yes, drag&drop would be nice

-.ac3 Input/Output Extension , to use the DialogNorm Remove Feature : eac3to src.ac3 dest.ac3

You do what it says, e.g., if it's +100 then you use 100 in delaycut for example and if it's -70 then you'd use -70 in delaycut.

wonderful, thanks sir!

[Sephiroth0000]

Hello everyone. I do not know if anyone remembers me but I was attempting EVO to WMV with 5.1 surround sound. And I recieved alot of help from this particular forum for who without their help I would not of been successful. I know its been awhile but I have completed my walkthrough (which is a more thorough guide of OliverDB's) I do apologise for the delay but being a father of 3 and working makes it hard to get anything finished lol. All I would like to know now is how is the best way to upload my walkthrough?

[Sephiroth0000]

http://rapidshare.com/files/66007512/EVO_to_WMV_HD_with_5.1.docx.html

This is my link to my EVO to WMV with 5.1 support. Oh and ACrowley that problem you are having with your Audio is a problem I once had and can be corrected very easily. If you look at pages 44 and above on this thread you should find the answer as it was the answe someone gave me with regards to the same problem. Either that or read me guide :P

[madshi]

Thanks for the tip, here's the first 5000KB of the file:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ffjqoy

It was demuxed using TSRemux if that is relevant.
Thanks, I'll have a look at this later. Might take a few days, though.

[madshi]

I got a eac3to error for the FLAC conversion of The Graduate's (Studio Canal) 2nd and 3rd DTS-HD track. for the first track though everything seems to be fine, the track was converted normally. but right after having pressed enter for the other 2 tracks eac3to & command line just crashed and gave me a windows error message (which I couldnt copy&paste). I've sent you 3x5MB samples of all 3 streams on that HD DVD, the errors happens for streams 01 and 02.
Thanks. Just in case: Could you please also make a sample of the EVO file available to me? EvoDemux has had problems with demuxing DTS-HD before (The Perfume), so in order to rule an EvoDemux bug out, having a little EVO sample would be helpful. The first 50MB of the first EVO file should hopefully be enough. Please do not touch the EVO file with EvoDemux at all, just to be safe.

[madshi]

could the error maybe be caused, because those 2 tracks are only normal dts tracks? at least mediainfo tells so. while evodemux names them as DTS-HD on the main page -.-
Nope, there's no problem if a DTS-HD flagged stream is only conventional DTS.

if mem serves me right isnt docx - office 2007 if so any chance you could save the file as a 97/200/2003 doc so people using open office could use them

Thanks

Positive Delay :

Incorrect :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac +1000ms

Correct :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac 1000ms

Youre using +1000ms what is wrong

Negative Delay :
eac3to xxx.flac xxx1.flac -1000ms

eac3to use always -1000ms :)


Everything clear now ?
IIRC eac3to accepts both "+1000ms" and "1000ms". It's handled identically.

@madshi, please upload the updated program to your link on page 1.
Thanks for the new updated GUI! v1.37 uploaded to the link on page 1.

- If possible to add an option, -keep, or something that would allow us to keep the working files created to achieve an end result. Right now, those files get deleted when the process is done.
Which files exactly are you interested in? It would be no big problem to add such a feature with the current eac3to version. But things are different with the next bigger version. So I need to know exactly why you need this and which intermediate files you need exactly.

[baconharvest]

I'm having a problem converting eac3 to ac3 using eac3to. Here's the list of the stuff I have in the command line:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Name\Desktop\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "C:Shared\audio.eac3" "C:\Shared\audio.ac3" -640 -nero
E-AC3, 5.1 channels, 1:08:59, 640kbit/s, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Remove Dialog Normalization information. Please wait...
Decoding eac3 file to raw. Please wait...
The file size of the raw file doesn't seem to fit.
The expected file size for 16 bit is 2.21 GB.
The expected file size for 24 bit is 3.31 GB.
The real file size is 0 Bytes.

Additional information: I extracted the eac3 audio file (315mb) from an mkv using mkvextract (by way of command line), I also have an installed and registered version of Nero 7 Ultimate Edition and Graphedit from doom9 with the dump filter.

Any ideas on how to fix the error above and get an ac3 file? And is there a way to tell how big the ac3 file will be?

yes, I can confirm that. used both already, same effect
Thanks. Just in case: Could you please also make a sample of the EVO file available to me? EvoDemux has had problems with demuxing DTS-HD before (The Perfume), so in order to rule an EvoDemux bug out, having a little EVO sample would be helpful. The first 50MB of the first EVO file should hopefully be enough. Please do not touch the EVO file with EvoDemux at all, just to be safe.
done.

No biggie, I can wait for the next bigger version. :) I basically was messing with eac3to just to check out all its features and noticed it moves audio into an evo container, for example, and then creates a raw file and then eventually produces the result. I just thought it would be convenient to keep those "working" evo and raw files out of curiosity. So no big deal. ;)

Do you have enough disk space where the raw file is being created?

Yes, I have 5 gigs of free space on my computer.

I'm having the exact same problem, no matter what i try, i've come across this problem more often in the thread.
I have it with all options, -nero -sonic -orbitlee.
It just fails to write the raw file or something. There have been pointers on how to test using graphedit however im not sure how (it includes renaming to recode.exe , but dunno what i should rename)

In my case i'm trying to recode a dd+ track to dts.

H:\PROGGIES\eac3to>eac3to F:\Films\test\test.eac3 F:\Films\test\test.dts -1536 -nero

I've got nero 7.8 with the hddvd filter activated, and installed the sonic package.

[madshi]

@Phorze and baconharvest:

(1) Make sure you're using the latest available Nero 7 version.
(2) Have you bought the Nero HD DVD plugin?

[madshi]

is there a way to tell how big the ac3 file will be?
The size of the AC3 file only depends on the runtime of the movie and the bitrate used for encoding. Your E-AC3 is 640kbit/s. If you use the eac3to defaults for AC3 encoding, 640kbit/s will be used again. So the final AC3 file should have the same size as the original E-AC3 file.

I don't think this is enough...
Only .raw file could be bigger than 5GB!

This post may prove of use to some of you that keep on getting this audio raw expected file size error. I had the problem once when I was doing EVO to WMV with 5.1. Now I will assume that the people having these errors are doing it with 5.1 audio. The way I got around this problem was making sure that EAC3TO, SOX and WAVAVIMUX was installed to the same folder as your audio and video sources that you are transcoding from. I was using Nero 7.10.0.1 with the BluRay HD DVD Plugin aswell which is crucial. Make sure that the file name of the audio file that it is you are trying to transcode is not a long file name and change it to something small and simple if you can.

But remember DO NOT INSTALL WAVAVIMUX to the Windows Media Encoder components folder and instead to the folder you are working from along with all your other files.

i don't get this, i don't need wavavimux right?
And eac3to refers to it's own subfolders to sox or aften when needed right?

[Sephiroth0000]

I am not too sure about the runnings and how it all connects but whatever 5.1 audio file I am doing with EACH3TO all I do is make sure that EAC3TO, EAC3TO GUI, SOX and WAVAVIMUX is all based in the same folder as the files im working on. I am not saying this method may nesscarily work for you but it did for me when I got that error. Also make sure you have the Nero BluRay HD DVD plugin (must be geniune) Also please note that EAC3TO does not work or function properly with Nero 8.

[Phorze]

So i kinda gave up on nero, i just can't get it to work, showtime plays HD content fine tho. And yes it's a legit version.

using -orbitlee -sonic is working now, but as mentioned in startpost it automagically applies DRC to the track which is catastrophic ofcourse.

I found this site:
http://codec.kiev.ua/mpeg2.htm

somewhere near the bottom :
Nero Suite ShowTime v.5.2.1.0 CE

Would this be usable? (and free!)

[Sephiroth0000]

What is it you are trying to do anyway Phorze? I might be able to help more if I know what it is you are doing.

[madshi]

So i kinda gave up on nero, i just can't get it to work, showtime plays HD content fine tho. And yes it's a legit version.
Have you bought the HD DVD / Blu-Ray plugin?

Would this be usable? (and free!)
No, it's not usable. And I don't think that that site is legal.

[Sephiroth0000]

If you use the EAC3TO GUI then you may be able to stop the DRC entirely. Im sure it has something about DRC in there.

[baconharvest]

How can I tell whether or not I have the hd-dvd plugin? All I see under my product license is Nero 7 Ultra Edition (I was under the impression that the hd-dvd plugin came with it).

[Sephiroth0000]

Unfortunately not. You do have to purchase the BluRay HD DVD Plugin seperately and it comes in the form of a serial that you enter at NeroProductSetup. The PlugIn cost me £14.99 when I purchased it and that was 2 months ago. You will have to purchase it.

When youve the Plugin installed you can see it under your Licenses in NeroStartSmart!
The must be Nero HDDVD/Bluray Plugin

When its not there ...youve no Plugin installed :)

Yes, it never come with a standard Ultra/premium Version.
You must by it seperatly
