Ah well, maybe eac3to could catch the crash. But it's really a crash in the Nero decoder. It's not much of a difference if eac3to catches the crash or not. The processing won't work, anyway. Cleaning up didn't help, obviously. Did you use "fix" option? That's dangerous. Better use "silence" or "skip".

I did some manual editing with a hex editor. :eek:

I really thought that eac3to crashed due to a libav crash, that wouldn't be good. As far this is not the case, just forgot it.
:stupid:

Hmmmm... Seems to be a bug. Will fix that in the next build. For now try adding the "-keepPulldown" option. I think demuxing should work then.

A well working TS muxer would be quite lovely... :)

I'm hoping ffmpeg will do and it doesn't come to me writing one. In theory this should do it:
ffmpeg -f vc1 -r 24000/1001 -i file.vc1 -f ac3 -i file.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy file.ts

I know it uses PID 0x100 for video and 0x101 for audio. It also uses the video PID (0x100) for the PCR. All these are not BluRay standard.

Would you provide an example of how to do this?
Well, for a start use eac3to or gdsmux for remuxing movies. Unfortunately this doesn't cover all movies yet. Especially Blu-Ray h264 movies can be troublesome. But I hope we'll get there sooner or later.

I apologize for not parsing through all 141 pages, but is there any hope of this application working with Nero 8 in the future? I recognize the limitation to ShowTime, but is there no way to bypass that on the roadmap? :D
There's no bypass on the roadmap. Nero 7 already tried to prevent other apps from using the DirectShow filters. Eac3to can only use the Nero 7 filters by some tricks. Nero 8 got even stricter. I don't know how to work around that. Of course I could spend time on figuring that out, but I really have more important things to do. If all else fails you can absolutely must have Nero 8 installed then you can use the libav decoders instead of Nero. The MLP/TrueHD decoder should be equal to the Nero decoder. Only the E-AC3 decoder might be at a small disadvantage compared the Nero. But the difference is probably rather small...

That's strange. I'm getting garbled output even with VMR9. This is the very same effect I also had with "The Searchers". However, when I tried to rip audio from the Million Dollar sample, I got a message "the track is dirty" from eac3to. Is it possible that the rip is corrupt?

The garbled output appears on my PC with the MS VC-1 decoder and VMR9. The Sonic VC-1 decoder doesn't even show any picture. It just freezes. Had exactly the same symptoms with "The Searchers". That makes now 2 HD DVD VC-1 movies which my PC cannot handle at all. Fortunately all other VC-1 movies worked just fine for me until now. Not sure where the problems with those 2 movies are coming from. Maybe the VC-1 stream is incorrect somehow and PowerDVD's VC-1 decoder just knows a way to work around that somehow?
I also remuxed the searchers a while ago (but cant remember which eac3to version I used then, might be one of the 1.XX versions), but I dont have problems with the video. I havent watched the full remux yet, but I synced subs and therefore saw a bit here and there and everything was fine (using haali and ffdshow with libavcodec).

I have a sample of the movie and the sample begins to play fine. But after a few seconds the image suddenly gets garbled. I think that the problem is one (or multiple) specific timecode(s) in the movie. You'd probably have to watch the whole movie to see the problem. But it might also have been a bad rip. Not sure...

I know it uses PID 0x100 for video and 0x101 for audio. It also uses the video PID (0x100) for the PCR. All these are not BluRay standard.
If you succeed in creating the TS file, then you can use tsremux to re-write it since it uses BR standards.

Tried that, TsRemux blows up. :) I'm guessing it doesn't like the shared PCR/Video PID.

I have written a remuxing framework (still buggy, not published) and I'll see if I can get all this to work once the eac3to bug is fixed. I have very limited free time these days, so I can't make any promises.

Is that so? Never heard about that yet. Are you sure?

Currently pulldown removal is default. But you can disable it by using the (undocumented) option "-keepPulldown". If removing the pulldown is really problematic for Blu-Ray authoring, I'll revert the default to not doing pulldown and will offer an option for removing pulldown instead.

Ah! Thanks for the option. :)

Anyways, for really involved details for a blu-ray compliant VC1 stream, you can refer to this post - I don't know how involved the changes would be though:

Another weird thing, not eac3to related but maybe someone knows about it.
Goal: To encode EAC3 (1536Kbps) and/or TrueHD, to DTS to achieve the best compromise between audio quality and playback compatibility with external (hardware) decoders.
Issue: Surcode DTS Encoder 1.0.21.0 not working good. Giving corrupted DTS tracks although they are identified as a dts tracks in delaycut, which stops logging when trying to fix it, and output "fixed" track is also corrupted.

I suspected from eac3to, but wavs output are ok. Feeding Surcode with wavs gives me same result, no good dts track.
Clues somebody? :confused:

PS: Nautilus, remember my problem with bad first frame of eac3 tracks? I've found that delaycut 1.3.0.0 is able to repair it (means is detected thereafter by eac3to) checking "Fix" in "CRC Errors" (using default "silence" option does not work). Maybe not the "cleanest" way, but also useful...

Many thanks for the update Madshi. The pulldown removal does save quite a bit of time for XBox 360 compatibility. After reading the thread linked above, I think that both the pulldown and interlaced flags need to be removed, so removing the pulldown flag is one step closer to BluRay compatibility. Or am I wrong here?

There have been a few posts regarding the speed of eac3to processing. Can I ask what kind of speeds you would expect for processing a movie. I have a Athlon X2 @ 2.5Ghz and read/write across 2 seperate HDDs (so not I/O bound) and, for a 2hr movie, it takes approx 1hr 20min to extract video and audio to wavs, and 1 hr if I do the audio only.
I don't see much speed difference between either Nero or libav decoders.

Cheers, Beastie.

I haven't tested yet but... eac3to decode DTS HD and DTS ES Master 6.1 tracks to 7 wavs? If yes, please upload me some 6.1 sample to try it out.

I´m planning to reencode 6.1 channels to Dolby Digital EX using SoundForge (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124721).
Also: Does eac3to detect the real number of channels of True HD and all X.1 tracks in general? I know there are limitations in decoding (Ej. 7.1 to 5.1 due to Sonic Decoder restrictions), but is good to know what's really inside the tracks.

One more: As far as I understand, extracting "core" DTS from DTS-HD gives only 5.1 channels, right? I want to keep 6.1 (or 7.1 eventually) and reencode to DTS ES Discrete or Dolby Digital EX, the formats my Pioneer VSX-816 detects (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/HomeEntertainment/AV-Receivers/PioneerReceivers/VSX-816-K%7CS?tab=B), as I said using SoundForge or some other tool (haven't figured it out yet..)

From 1st post(I believe this applies to sonic decoder):

DTS decoding fully supports 6.1, but 7.1 tracks are decoded as 5.1 only.
Also: eac3to detect the real format of True HD (and all files en general) despite decoding them to 5.1 ?Can you explain this better? I didn't understnd anything...

Core is standard DTS 5.1 @ 1536 kbps.

For keeping more channels (up 6.1 is possible with current decoders) you need to decode and re-encode the track.

Well, there's no info about # of channels the truehd decoders output.

But, since we have a free truehd decoder, if it not supports more than 5.1. channels, it can in the future. I believe it would be easy for the developers to update the libav decoder with 6/7.1 support. All they 'll is such sample streams.

Do you actually have a truehd track with more than 6 channels?

22nd January 2008, 16:25

Sorry for the late reply.

Does the EVO play perfectly (without even a hint of stuttering) on your PC? I'm
wondering whether PowerDVD eventually detects the incorrect VC-1 stream and just skips the damaged frame(s)?
But that should result in a little bit of skipping/stuttering. I watched large parts of the Searchers using PDVD. No stutters or skipping at all, it plays back fine, both audio and video. So, if the stream is indeed somehow damaged, PDVD is not mislead by it. Pity, since PDVD is not the player I want.

BTW playback is improved using ffdshow as VC1 decoder. In fact it doesn't matter that much whether the libav codec or the WMV codec in ffdshow is used. The green garbled mess, that starts after a few seconds, is absent now. Audio is heavily distorted though. Same result with a total Sonic graph. Good video, bad audio. Converting eac3 to ac3 with eac3to results in a problematic ac3 track. So lots of things happening here.

So are your worries about VC-1 HD DVD movies gone now?You bet! (for most of the titles :) )

Here is a sample from Robin Hood. Using Haali splitter video seems fine, however audio is distorted. Converting the eac3to track to ac3, this ac3 track has lots of strange noises in it. Here again the sample plays back fine in PDVD.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/9nw2a4

Here is a sample from Unforgiven: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bwuj9r
Using Haali splitter and MS VC1 decoder, video is heavily distorted. Plays back fine in PDVD and using a Sonic chain in ZP. The video mess is not always present, some pieces of the movie are fine. Using ffdshow as VC1 decoder, there is no video distortion but video has strange speedups from time to time and audio goes wildly out of sync. See this sample for the speedup. http://www.sendspace.com/file/8s4vtx

Eac3to only sees the VC1 track and not the audio tracks in the original evo and the first sample. However the speedup sample coming from the middle of the movie gives the correct tracks with eac3to. So there might be some corruption at the beginning of the movie.

No I don't, I was thinking on DTS-ES 6.1 tracks for the time being. I don't have any DTS ES 6.1 tracks to test eac3to outputting seven wavs files. You have a sample of a DTS ES 6.1 track?

EDIT: 2nd evo (original & rebuilt with evodemux) results in 100% playable/seekable mkv with both haali and vmr9 renderers.
And I've cut the first few MBs of the damaged EVO file and the rest of the sample behaves just fine for me. So the problems really seem to come from the damaged EVO beginning. It's the same with both Million Dollar and with Unforgiven. Both have corruption in the first second of the EVO file while the rest of the movie is just fine. I think PowerDVD just handles such problems better. But I really do think the EVO files are damaged. I don't know whether the damage comes from bad ripping (have you tried reripping) or whether it's an authoring fault of the studio.

P.S: Cutting the first few MBs of the EVO file is not as easy as it might sound. You have to cut at the right place, sadly...

For Blu-Ray compatability the current solution is not good enough. But for Xbox 360 compatability seemingly it is, right? I don't think I'll add interlaced flag removal. That seems to be really difficult/dangerous. A little bug and the whole video gets screwed. No thanks... :)

I don't see much speed difference between either Nero or libav decoders.
It's difficult to say if you ask eac3to to do multiple things at the same time. Currently there's some extra overhead because I'm always running the libav E-AC3 decoder in the background when you decode E-AC3 with Sonic or Nero. I'll remove that in the next build again to bring (hopefully) speed up to old levels.

I did watch large parts of it, too, until suddenly I had garbled output. It may only be one frame which is bad. My playback system doesn't seem to be able to recover from that. I guess that PowerDVD is just much better with hiding such imperfections.

Converting eac3 to ac3 with eac3to results in a problematic ac3 track.
With which decoder and which eac3to version?

Here is a sample from Robin Hood. Using Haali splitter video seems fine, however audio is distorted.
With which audio decoder?

Converting the eac3to track to ac3, this ac3 track has lots of strange noises in it.

The Robin Hood sample seems to behave just fine with the latest eac3to build (v2.16) with both Nero and libav decoders. No problems with the audio tracks in that sample, as far as I can see/hear. Tested only audiotrack 1, though.

Here is a sample from Unforgiven: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bwuj9r
Using Haali splitter and MS VC1 decoder, video is heavily distorted. Plays back fine in PDVD and using a Sonic chain in ZP. The video mess is not always present, some pieces of the movie are fine.

Using ffdshow as VC1 decoder, there is no video distortion but video has strange speedups from time to time and audio goes wildly out of sync. See this sample for the speedup. http://www.sendspace.com/file/8s4vtx
With eac3to v2.16 I can remux this to MKV and the resulting MKV plays perfectly fine including audio with no artifacts and no speedup. I had to edit the EVO a bit, though, cause it was cut in such a way that the video started at the middle of a frame. As a result eac3to didn't detect the video stream.

Depends on how you demuxed the LPCM track. The remapping message should appear if you demuxed with xport. If you demux by using Haali's filters, the message will not appear. Hopefully Haali's filters then remapped the channels correctly. Don't know about that...

I installed v2.16, I just extracted to the v2.14 directory and allowed overwrite all, then eac3to -test showed nero, sonic and MKVsplitter not installed. MKVtoolnix installed. OK so just reinstall the programs I thought.

Uninstalled the Matroska Splitter rebooted re-installed the splitter, still not recognized.

So I just extracted v.2.14 eac3to.exe and allowed it to overwrite v.2.16 eac3to.exe only and changed nothing else, now nero, matroska and sonic are recognized again.

It seemed to me that after re-installing Matroska and it not working that it was pointless to try the others.

So what is the proper upgrade procedure to avoid this?

eac3to v2.17 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* fixed VC-1 pulldown removal
* VC-1 pulldown removal must now be activated by the new option "-stripPulldown"
* improved VC-1 gap/overlap detection
* new option "-ignoreGaps" disables VC-1 gap/overlap detection
* libav E-AC3 decoder background decoding removed again
Hopefully the improved gap/overlap detection will now only fire if there's *REALLY* a gap somewhere. If all else fails, you can disable the gap/overlap detection now by using the new option "-ignoreGaps". When doing this you should get a MKV file which is roughly identical to what eac3to v2.14 had output. The only differences should be that (1) v2.17 should be noticably faster cause it does everything in one step while v2.14 needed two steps. And (2) With v2.17 there's no fps stored in the MKV header, sadly. Shouldn't be a big problem, though. And maybe (3) the v2.17 MKV could be ever so slightly more fluid? But I don't really think so.

So please test again with some VC-1 movies. Please check whether eac3to posts any warnings about gaps/overlaps in the video track. Hopefully not. Also, does anybody have the USA HD DVD of Phantom of the Opera? I really would like to have that tested cause it didn't work with v2.14, but should work now with v2.15-17.

One thing that would be great is to have fps info stored in some way. Media Control 4.7 is close to have automatic refresh rate change for all us Vista Media Center users. It reads the refresh rate from ffdshow. And titles created with 2.15 and later are reported as 25fps. So the automatic refresh rate change/match functions does not work properly.

million dollar baby also doesnt work with 217 for me, it reports a gap of 9 frames at 0:00:01 playtime, but same problem as with the other movies.

I've extracted track 2 audio with no errors, and ran it thru delaycut -fixcrc and it reports no errors. I'm assuming it's saying track 3 has errors then, (but haven't tried). Is there a way to specify only extracting track2 and ignoring the the other audio tracks? or am I barking up the wrong tree with this error?

edit: I extracted the first 150mb of the vc1 video from the evo and it looks amazing in powerdvd! now if i could just get the audio portion...

edit2: Track 3 is the problem. I re-ripped and still exists... something about the source. Just need to know how to skip unwanted audio tracks. Track 2 is the one I want.

With no fps stored in the mkv header, could someone possibly give me a heads up as to how to open my resulting MKV in MeGUI. It's telling me that there's no fps information in my file and to manually add the fps to my avisynth script. I tried but cant get it to work. Im using the avisynth script creator in the app itself. My goal is to re-encode down to 720 to play on my 360 - which until this latest version Ive been able to do using MeGUI.

Thanks!
