eac3to - audio conversion tool

[Thunderbolt8]

reported this already, but its an ffdshow problem and has nothing to do with eac3to, since it plays fine with coreavc.

[rickardk]

Ok, we have 2 decoders. The mkv plays fine with one but not so well with the other one. I think this is a case where it would make sense to test more decoders. This might help finding out where the problem is located. IIRC there are 3 more flac decoders out there, namely: Illuminable (or something like that), CoreFlac and the DCBass Source filter.


Tested Illuminable and DCBass Source filter but can't get them to work. Even if I set the merit high they will not connect (maybe they can't handle 6 channels). So as of now I really can't tell if it is something wrong with the eac3to muxing of H264 or a FLAC decoder problem.

One thing I forgot in last post is that the play time of the movie is not displayed in MPC or WMP when using ffdshow for FLAC decoding. But when I skip forward a seond or two the playtime is displayed.

Using madflac the playtime is there from start.

[act.anon]

It shouldn't. But even if it did, it would not explain the eac3to error messages. It seems to me that either the rip is bad or that the disc is simply incorrectly authored. How did you rip? Did you use the AnyDVD HD ripping tool? Or did you simply copy the files via explorer (or with another file manager)?


I used the AnyDVD HD ripping tool, version 6.3.1.7.

[Tegeril]

Since installing Vista SP1, eac3to can no longer see the Nero 7 HD plugin's decoder. Still recognizes Sonic, Haali, and MKVToolnix properly

:confused:

[Denner]

Quick question.

Should I apply the audio delay from a Dolby TrueHD track (-87ms, from HD-DVD source) when I encode it to FLAC with eac3to or should I wait until muxing it in with the video using MKVmerge ?

Does audio delay even apply to FLAC when encoding ?

[nautilus7]

Have you demuxed the TrueHD track? If not and is still in the .evo container, the delay will be applied automatically. If it's demuxed, then you have to do it manually.

[Denner]

It is still in the EVO.

So I should do nothing and it will be all right ?

Does this apply to all audio tracks, when coming from EVO an straight to eac3to ?

[nautilus7]

Yes... But it's not that difficult to find out by your self. Just run your command line without any delay values and you'll see a message like "applying truehd delay".

Hey madshi,
I'm going to try to attempt at transcoding stereo 24-bit 88.2kHz LPCM to WAV once more.
I have PM'd you with a sample as well as the WAV successfully converted by DVDAExplorer, to compare.

my code for the current attempt is:


eac3to.exe track1.pcm track1.wav -2 -24 -big -88200 -override
This might be a RAW/PCM file. Trying to figure out the details.
This will probably take a while. Please be patient...
The RAW/PCM file seems to have 6 channels.
Was not able to figure out all parameters of this RAW/PCM file.
Please specify channel, bitdepth and endian parameters via command line.

As you can see, it can't seem to read the file too well.

[Village Guy]

Missed this one:


Don't really know why you're not getting smooth playback. Try muxing only video without any audio to MKV. Is the playback smooth then?


With the same media player and DirectShow filters?

Madshi Thanks for the suggestion.

I can confirm that the video is fine without muxing in the audio! It would appear that MKVtoolnix is having a problem. Is there a better way to mux the video & audio together?

[scarbrtj]

Madshi:

May have already been asked & answered, but I have a question re: 7.1 tracks. I, for my own purposes, always want to end up with AC3 or DTS files. As you know, DTS offers us (potentially) one more channel than AC3, i.e. DTS ES is 6.1 channels.

Will eac3to allow me to go from 7.1 PCM to 6.1 DTS? (On some DTS MA or DTS HD files, eac3to has given me 6.1 DTS files.) If not, what file format would you convert to in order to preserve the highest fidelity, most channels, and good PC/home theater compatibility?

Thanks.

I have a feeling the DTS format can support 7.1ch although I'm not sure if any encoders have that ability.

[nautilus7]

DTS: up to 6.1, not with Surcode though

DTS-HD: up to 7.1

[madshi]

Thanks for the reply. I have since tried with another mpeg2/flac combo & get the same thing.

Haali to Madflac to default direct sound device does play the audio on both files.

If I disable Haali & enable the internal MPC mkv filter the same thing happens with Hostel (the 1st file I converted). The Terminator is the most recent one I tried, and the audio plays, but no video filter loads!
Sorry for the late reply. I've just tried Terminator (you mean the mpeg2 USA Blu-Ray, right?). I've muxed the video to MKV by using eac3to and converted the PCM to FLAC also with eac3to and then combined both tracks with the latest mkvtoolnix version. The result plays just fine for me with MPC HC 1.1 and both madFlac and ffdshow FLAC decoding (XPSP2, VMR9). Now of course there are so many different combinations and versions of the filters that it's nearly impossible for me to know where the problem is coming from in your case. Here are a few suggestions:

(1) Try different renderers.
(2) Try different video decoders.
(3) Try different audio decoders.
(4) Try different media players.
(5) Try to manually setup the graph via GraphEdit.

If you can't find out why it's failing to work as expected please help me to reproduce the problem. Basically I'd need a sample with which I can reproduce the problem.

Sounds very strange. Of course it would be great if there was an easy way to reproduce the problem. We could then ask the ffdshow guys to check out what is happening. I think it's probably a bug in ffdshow.

I used the AnyDVD HD ripping tool, version 6.3.1.7.
That's too bad. The EVO is definitely damaged. Probably an authoring fault. You could try demuxing the tracks with EvoDemux and then using eac3to to deal with the raw tracks...

Since installing Vista SP1, eac3to can no longer see the Nero 7 HD plugin's decoder. Still recognizes Sonic, Haali, and MKVToolnix properly
Does ShowTime still play E-AC3 tracks? Can you still use the "Nero Audio Decoder 2" in GraphEdit (after having renamed Graphedit.exe to Recode.exe)?

You must be using a very old eac3to version. Here's what I'm getting with your sample:

C:\Desktop>eac3to track1.pcm track1.wav -2 -24 -big -88200 -override
RAW/PCM, 2.0 channels, 0:00:36, 24 bits, 88.2khz

Done.

Madshi Thanks for the suggestion.

It could be a problem with mkvtoolnix, but I'm not convinced about that yet. I'd suggested trying different video/audio decoders. It might be a problem with the video decoder.

Will eac3to allow me to go from 7.1 PCM to 6.1 DTS? (On some DTS MA or DTS HD files, eac3to has given me 6.1 DTS files.)
eac3to itself can not encode in DTS. eac3to can only call Surcode to encode DTS - and Surcode is limited to 5.1 channels. Or with DTS Master Audio and High Resolution tracks eac3to can extract the core - which sometimes is 6.1. But there's nothing eac3to can do about it. So the short answer to your question is: No - unless the core of a DTS-HD track happens to be 6.1.

If not, what file format would you convert to in order to preserve the highest fidelity, most channels, and good PC/home theater compatibility?
FLAC. Of course (since it's lossless) it also consumes more space than the lossy codecs. But you can cut down bitdepth to 16bit. This may hurt audio quality ever so slightly (but probably less than doing a lossy encoding in AC3 or DTS) and a 16bit FLAC file will usually not consume more space than a 1.5Mbps DTS track.

[madshi]

have a little problem with a TV mpeg2 source, its 29.97 fps (27.35 fps telecine), but the demuxed .mpg stream is detected as 1080p/24 by eac3to, so the resulting length of the video .mkv is ~15 mins too long and therefore out of sync with the audio. heres a sample of the .ts:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/8jc5gp
There's definitely something funny going on with that sample. I'll put it on my todo list, but I'm not sure if I can fit this one it right now.

[madshi]

eac3to v2.32 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* added automatic "VPLST000.XPL" and "HVA00001.VTI" parsing
* "eac3to" or "eac3to ." inside of a HD DVD folder lists all title sets
* "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder" lists all title sets
* "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder whatever.mkv" converts the longest title set
* "eac3to someHdDvdMovieFolder x) whatever.mkv" converts the selected title set
* EVO report now contains the EVO display name (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available)
* added language to EVO audio track listing (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available)
* added EVO audio track display names (if "VPLST000.XPL" is available)
* sequence end codes are stripped from VC-1, MPEG2 and h264/AVC
* put "-stripPulldown" option back in on request
* option "-demux" now writes to "current directory" instead of source directory
* option "-demux" now creates files with meaningful names
* doing "eac3to src.evo dst.mkv" now creates audio files with meaningful names
* doing "eac3to src.evo dst.mkv" writes the audio files to same path as the MKV
* after successful (erroneous) processing "success.wav" (error.wav) is played
HD DVD remuxing just got even more comfortable.

The usual processing steps should now be these:

--------------------

(1) List all title sets, sorted by runtime. The title sets with the longest durations are listed first. Especially useful is that (unlike EvoDemux) eac3to always shows the language of every audio track. The title set listing can be invoked by using one of these possibilities:

- "eac3to c:\MovieFolder"
- "eac3to ."
- "eac3to"

(The latter two options only work if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder, of course. Doesn't matter whether you're inside of ADV_OBJ or HVDVD_TS or in the root of the movie folder.)

The listing will look something like this:

1) FEATURE_1.EVO+FEATURE_2.EVO, 1:55:06
"Main Movie"
- VC-1, 1080p (16:9)
- VC-1, 480p (16:9)
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Japanese
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, English
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, French
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Italian
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, German
- E-AC3, 5.1, 48khz, Spanish
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English, "Commentary"

2) M_BERLIN.EVO+M_PARIS.EVO+M_LONDON.EVO+M_MADRID.EVO+M_TANGIERS.EVO+M_BERLIN.EVO, 0:29:42
"man on the move: play all"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

3) DLS.EVO, 0:12:21
"deleted scenes"
- MPEG2, 480i (4:3)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

4) NYCHASE.EVO, 0:10:46
"new york chase"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

5) M_BERLIN.EVO, 0:06:10
"man on the move: berlin"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

6) ROOFTOP.EVO, 0:05:39
"rooftop pursuit"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

7) M_TANGIERS.EVO, 0:05:21
"man on the move: tangiers"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

8) RUMBLE.EVO, 0:04:59
"planning the punches"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

9) M_LONDON.EVO, 0:04:14
"man on the move: london"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

10) M_MADRID.EVO, 0:04:06
"man on the move: madrid"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

11) M_PARIS.EVO, 0:03:41
"man on the move: paris"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

12) DRIVE.EVO, 0:03:23
"driving school"
- MPEG2, 480i (16:9)
- E-AC3, 2.0, 48khz, English

(2) Select a title set you want eac3to to handle. Let's say you want a trailer to be converted which has the title set number 20 (the title set numbers are listed by eac3to in the first step). So you can do this now:

- "eac3to c:\MovieFolder 20) trailer.mkv"
- "eac3to . 20) trailer.mkv"
- "eac3to 20) trailer.mkv"

(Again the latter two options only work if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder.)

--------------------

If you know that you want the title set with the largest duration handled by eac3to you can skip step (1) and directly do the following which will tell eac3to to automatically choose the longest title set:

- "eac3to c:\MovieFolder 1) movie.mkv"
- "eac3to c:\MovieFolder movie.mkv"
- "eac3to . movie.mkv"

(The last option only works if you call eac3to from inside of a HD DVD movie folder.)

--------------------

Of course you can combine the new command line option possibilites with the "old" ones. So you could e.g. do this:

- "eac3to . 1: movie.mkv 3: English.flac"
- "eac3to 5) 1: movie.mkv 3: Englisch.ac3"

You can always only handle one title set at a time, though.

--------------------

All the new comfort options explained above only work if the "VPLST000.XPL" file is available. Without that file eac3to behaves just as it did before. If the "HVA00001.VTI" file is available, eac3to will make use of that file, too, to make the title set listing as detailed as possible. But the "HVA00001.VTI" is generally not needed for the new comfort functions.

P.S: If you don't like the event sounds, you can replace the two WAV files with your own. Or you can simply delete them. eac3to won't mind.

[nautilus7]

Very nice! Thanks!

So, only subtitle demuxing is missing now? Is it planned?

Do you plan converting eac3to to a gui application some time in the future? I believe it would become way to easy to use. No complaints though. :p

[madshi]

So, only subtitle demuxing is missing now? Is it planned?
Subtitles and chapters are missing. Chapters are easy to deal with and will be added in the very next build. I don't know how subtitles are working exactly, though. I could demux them in the binary form they are stored in the EVO file but I don't think that would help anybody.

Apart from these rather small things I'm considering HD DVD support complete now. That means (unless there are more bugs being reported) I can finally move on to Blu-Ray in the next weeks.

Do you plan converting eac3to to a gui application some time in the future?
At least not in the near future.

[nautilus7]

Demuxing subs in their original format (+ chapter support) would help getting rid of evodemux... :D
There's no need to use 2 programs, one for audio/video and one for subs. Pelican9's SUPread is able to convert .sup subs to .srt, so it would be useful.

I tested a HD DVD. It seems to work. And it's easy also. :p

(btw, TrueHD 96KHz tracks are recognized and decoded correctly - can't remember if this has been discussed before).

[Yraen]

Looks like I got some work to do in the morning. :)

This also has me drooling for when you move on to BD.

Thanks madshi.

[Rectal Prolapse]

madshi, evodemux handles subtitles easily by adding a PTS timestamp for every set of subtitle "packets". You can verify this by comparing a raw subtitle stream against one output by evodemux using a hex editor. I will try to PM you more details.

[IanD]

Apart from these rather small things I'm considering HD DVD support complete now. That means (unless there are more bugs being reported) I can finally move on to Blu-Ray in the next weeks.
Some HD-DVD titles have multiple .XPL files to manage varying region languages (eg VPLST000.XPL, VPLST001.XPL, VPLST002.XPL, etc). Only one of the .XPL files gets selected depending on the language selection at the start of the movie.

Is your software affected by only choosing VPLST000.XPL?

[madshi]

btw, TrueHD 96KHz tracks are recognized and decoded correctly - can't remember if this has been discussed before.
That was to be expected. Can I have a small sample, please, just for my sample collection? 10MB should be enough. Thanks!

I don't know how to choose the "right" one, so I'm always using the first. The only effect this should have that in the worst case you might see the track names displayed in some strange language. Apart from that eac3to should not be affected.

[Thunderbolt8]

thanks!
cant make any testing though, before tomorrow evening :S

[Yraen]

madshi,

When running the command line to look at an HD-DVD folder structure, the output is not captured in the log.txt. Is this intentional? Before I used the contents of log.txt to show the user what tracks were located in the .evo files. I'm hooking it into the stdout now to capture the contents of the folders to be able to show the title sets. I was just curious as, for myself, I liked the log.txt contents since they showed me any mistakes I may have made on the command line trying to run a list.

[Village Guy]

It could be a problem with mkvtoolnix, but I'm not convinced about that yet. I'd suggested trying different video/audio decoders. It might be a problem with the video decoder.


Hi Madshi

Turned out to be a problem with my spdif driver in ffdshow. I fixed the issue using AC3Filter passthru instead. Amazing how it caused the video to intermittently stutter even though the audio sounded ok!

Thanks again

[madshi]

Not really. Will be fixed in next build.

eac3to v2.33 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* added full TS and M2TS support (file joining not supported yet, though)
* further improved "-demux" file names
* help text and HD DVD track listing is now also written to the log
http://madshi.net/icon_greenBalloon.gifhttp://madshi.net/icon_redBalloon.gifhttp://madshi.net/icon_blueBalloon.gif full TS/M2TS support added http://madshi.net/icon_greenBalloon.gifhttp://madshi.net/icon_redBalloon.gifhttp://madshi.net/icon_blueBalloon.gif

(Caution: Joining of multiple M2TS/TS parts is not supported yet.)

The eac3to usage with M2TS/TS files is exactly the same as with EVO/VOB files. Of course since this is the very first version with M2TS/TS support please be aware that there may still be bugs. So double check the results before throwing away the source files. Also please report success/failure of the new functionality here in this thread. Thanks!

[Kurtnoise]

Sweet...does the demux is also supported for TS/M2TS file ?

I get this from my input :
The format of the source file could not be detected.

[nautilus7]

forget it... see my next post.

[MarkGrigsby]

I have some mixed results - a couple of m2ts's work, a couple don't. I can send a sample of one that doesn't work if that would help?

PS Even if it doesn't work 100% yet, soooo happy to see the m2ts support starting already :)

[nautilus7]

eac3to input.m2ts
The format of the source file could not be detected. with main move file:

Master and Commander (BD+ cracked) (34,9GB) doesn't work
Die Hard 3 (BD+ cracked) (30,3GB) doesn't work
The Day After Tomorrow (BD+ cracked) (29GB) doesn't work
3:10 to Yuma (27,9GB) works
Blue Planet (6,32GB) works
Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (40,7GB) works

I believe the problem has to do with BD+ and it's not file size related, as i thought at the beginning. My discs are ripped fine though (since BD+ is cracked).

[shambles]

works on most of mine. samples of 3 it didn't work with: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1qsht8

^none of those was bd+

[MarkGrigsby]

Not sure it's BD+ related - all the discs I tried were never BD+, and some worked and others didn't. I thought it was related to a LPCM track, but I used TSRemux to make a short clip of one that didn't work, including just main movie and DD track, and still it failed.

[madshi]

Does eac3to run through for the streams where it works - and do the resulting files seem to be ok?

I'll post a new version with improved error reporting. That should help finding out what the problem is.

[MarkGrigsby]

I'll post a new version with improved error reporting. That should help finding out what the problem is.Didn't have time to watch the output, but when it works it seems to run through with the expected text output on screen.

As for the 'unsupported files' error, it does seem to analyse the file as it takes longer to process larger files, just doesn't recognise them in the end.

[nautilus7]

Does eac3to run through for the streams where it works - and do the resulting files seem to be ok?

I'll post a new version with improved error reporting. That should help finding out what the problem is.Yes, for me. When it works, everything is fine. The output.mkv works perfect.

Checked 2 more Blu-rays:

PotC 1 Bonus Disc works
Prestige works

neither of them were x-BD+. eac3to failed only with x-BD+ discs here.

And when it doesn't work, as MarkGrigsby said, it starts analyzing the files and it fails at some point.

Hi,

American Gangster German HD-DVD gives me this error: "The format of the source file could not be detected" when trying to convert the main movie to mkv. I tried both old and new style syntax. The main movie has to VC1 streams 1080p and 480p. eac3to displays this when I call eac3to in the HD-DVD folder. Is this a bug or did I something wrong? By the way thx for the great tool!

[madshi]

eac3to v2.34 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* TS/M2TS: fixed PAT/PMT reading bug
* TS/M2TS: new "-ignoreDiscon" option makes eac3to ignore discontinuity errors
There was a bug in the PAT/PMT parsing which caused eac3to to fail reading some TS/M2TS files. This should be fixed now. Thanks for the sample uploads!

As usual eac3to demands the source files to be ultra clean. If eac3to finds any stream errors it will at once stop processing. Since it happens rather often that there are some discontinuity errors in the stream I've now added a new option called "-ignoreDiscon". This way you can force eac3to to continue processing despite of eventual discontinuity errors. I have to warn you, though: When there are discontinuity errors, there's a good chance that there will be artifacts in the video/audio. So use this option with care...

[madshi]

American Gangster German HD-DVD gives me this error: "The format of the source file could not be detected" when trying to convert the main movie to mkv.
Could you please rerip the movie just to be safe that it's really a clean rip? Please use the AnyDVD ripping tool and *not* the explorer to do the rip. If eac3to still refuses to accept the movie please let me know...

[nautilus7]

Die Hard 3, Master & Commander, Day after tomorrow work now. This means all my discs are working correctly.

THANKS!

[madshi]

Would be great if you guys could test view a few movies completely from beginning to end, just to make sure that there are no funny artifacts hidden anywhere in the middle of the movie. Thanks!

[madshi]

American Gangster German HD-DVD gives me this error: "The format of the source file could not be detected" when trying to convert the main movie to mkv.
Sorry, my fault. EVO support is broken in v2.33 and v2.34. Will be fixed in v2.35.

[madshi]

eac3to v2.35 released

http://madshi.net/eac3to.zip

* fixed broken EVO support

[frenchglen]

Sounds very strange. Of course it
You must be using a very old eac3to version. Here's what I'm getting with your sample:

C:\Desktop>eac3to track1.pcm track1.wav -2 -24 -big -88200 -override
RAW/PCM, 2.0 channels, 0:00:36, 24 bits, 88.2khz
Reading RAW/PCM...
Swapping endian...
Writing WAV...
Creating file "track1.wav"...
eac3to processing took 1 second.
Done.


Really weird. I'm still getting that result I quoted. That was with eac3to being on a separate hard drive to the samples. I then put eac3to on same drive as samples, and a different (wrong) result came, but that's happened before anyway! I was using 2.30 before, and 2.34 just then.

The other wrong result I get:

eac3to track1.pcm track1.wav
This might be a RAW/PCM file. Trying to figure out the details.
This will probably take a while. Please be patient...
The RAW/PCM file seems to have 6 channels.
Was not able to figure out all parameters of this RAW/PCM file.
Please specify channel, bitdepth and endian parameters via command line.


What on earth...I have Vista Ultimate x64. Could that be it? Am I missing some filter?

For that part of functionality eac3to does not use any external filters. I still believe that you MUST be using an old eac3to version... ;) Maybe you have multiple versions of eac3to.exe lying around on your PC and Windows is not starting the one you expect it to? Maybe you have an outdated eac3to.exe located in the search path somewhere? What happens if you just call "eac3to" without any parameters from the command line. Does the command line window (you have to scroll up a lot) say "eac3to v2.35"?
