Eac3to and More GUI

[luos]

Thanks a lot , that helps me a lot without typing lots of CMD which I totally do not understand.

[ben_franklin]

Am I the only guy here using win7?
When I run yr_eac3to_more_gui on Win7 or server 2008 R2, the font on the program is HUGE, when I mean huge, the program wont even fit on a 1280x800 screen!

Could you please investigate? Thanks!

[ben_franklin]

The new version has the font problem, not the old version.

Anyone else seeing this?

[DVB-Freak]

@ben_franklin
Yes, I have the same problem. :confused:
Therefore I can not use the new GUI.

My OS is WinXP Pro.

same problem with fonts.. pls if you still read give us a way to change the fonts Yraen... can't use it like this.

[Momber]

As much as it pains me to say so, the new GUI marks the absolute pinnacle of uselessness.

1) When I demux Blu-Ray subtitles and convert to SUB/IDX with BDSup2Sub, the SUB/IDX files are not muxed into the final matroska video. Rather they are added as separate files in the output folder. Why not mux these with the video, or at least provide an option to do so?

2) On the "Saving Private Ryan" Blu-Ray there are two English subs, an English and an English SDH, but both are simply marked as English. Although I have English and English SDH as my top 2 language choices, and chose to use the two top choices in making track selections, if "demux subtitles of chosen language only" is selected, it will only demux a single English subtitle.

Is there an option to simply demux all English subs?

3) Eac3to and More does not add language codes to the final MKV's audio and subtitle streams. This would be simple to do as the language is in the file name, so it would merely require telling MKVMerge which language to use for each. Otherwise, all subs and audio tracks are marked as "und" (undetermined) making it difficult to navigate.

4) Could you add an option to "Demux with eac3to, Mux manually"?

5) Currently, if you attempt to "Make Movie" without selecting a source folder and output folder, the movie name will disappear after the warning is shown requiring you to retype it. Can you prevent this behavior?

In addition, if there is only one source file/folder and one output file/folder, why not have them selected automatically if none are selected rather than complaining that no source was chosen?

I actually quite like the new layout. It allows you to set your settings once for all rips.

This is actually remarkably easy to do. This is the relevant command from mkvmerge:

--language" "2:eng" "--track-name" "2:English FLAC @ 16/48"

"2:eng" indicates that track 2 is an English language track, and "English FLAC @16/48" is the track description. Merely using the full language name should be sufficient for the description.

ahhh, my eyes... the new gui is horrible!!!

first of the old version is still my gui of choice when comes down to using a gui with eac3to and i always hoped yraen would update. well he did 8 months ago and i didn't know *DAMN*. now checking the latest version (1.10.01) i just shake my head. why change the way it is now? the new design is horrible and not as intuitive as the old one. where is info pane? though, i like new features but this one is a total failure.

please yraen, return to the old design and update to the new features of eac3to in conjunction with tsmuxer (create br/avchd output, etc).

Fully agree - i've tried a lot, but i couldn't get the new GUI working at all - how the hell i can recode audio with that?

The Version before was just perfect to me, with a little (very little indeed) things i wanted to be added, but...nah...

[xcarles]

The new gui is horrible!!

Who is de "input file" in te eac3to audio?......and more other options not found :-(

Sorry,but del old verison 1.09 it's MORE intuitive.

Thanks for your job

[DruidCtba]

I don't get it a convertion audio ac3 only change FPS and Bitrate, by th way how I get it convert audio in this GUI?

[staygroovy]

I am sure that those who are writing this fronted GUI have spent a lot of time putting this together, but I must admit that it has so far completely evaded me how to successfully use it for the purpose of audio extraction. (typically, getting multichannel audio from an ISO image of a DVD-V -not Blu-Ray- and converting it to either .wav or FLAC format)

All the while, even though I am a total n00b at this I have been able to use the command line app with great and very predictable results, including all sorts of very sophisticated sample rate conversion options, channel re-ordering, flac encoding all at once, so I would love for anyone to point me to a step-by-step tutorial or wiki where this is explained clearly. The only thing about the command-line app is that it's not all that easy for repetitive tasks, and re-entering many new names can sometimes lead to mistakes or inconsistencies.

Whenever I set the parameters more or less right on this GUI, and after making sure that there is a 'movie' name selected for output (why?), and saving all of the settings as a batch job, (with the same exact audio parameters as what I do on the command line) the best I get is an error message about 'too many values in array' or something of that sort. (sorry, not in front of it right now so I do not recall exactly what the error returned was)

Anyway, would love to give this a try, but obviously something is not very intuitive on how to go about it for audio-only.

Thanks in advance...

[Richard1485]

I don't like the new GUI either. What was wrong with the old layout? Can one use v1.09. Beta 10 with the latest version of eac3to? I've been using eac3to317 with the old GUI because I don't like the new one. The old version of eac3to does most of what I want, but it would nice to be able to use the latest version.

too big window with big text in menus. my monitor is 32" tv with 1360x768...
where can i download older gui?
sorry for my poor english

[AGuyWithAGuitar32]

I am trying to extract the DTS audio from an mkv rip of a convert DVD (Green Day's Awesome as ****, it was ripped as one 6.36 gb 1080p file) and save as FLAC. I then plan on throwing the whole thing into Soundforge, cutting it up by song, and then converting all the files to ALAC using dbPowerAmp, my converter of choice. These are the properties of the audio and video streams, according to VLC: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37844107/Photos/Awesome%20as%20Fuck%20codec%20info.tif.

Using eac3to and more GUI 1.09, these are the settings prior to me trying to run the extraction:
Paths tab: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37844107/Photos/Paths%20tab.tif
eac3to Audio tab: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37844107/Photos/eac3to%20audio%20tab.tif

However, every time I run it, I always get this message: [v01] The video bitstream is encoded in a non standard framerate <WARNING>

I've tried different combinations of settings, and different output formats, and all result in that same message. Can anyone help me with this?

[Guest]

However, every time I run it, I always get this message: [v01] The video bitstream is encoded in a non standard framerate What framerate did you use when you ripped it, and how did you rip it?

[hello_hello]

There's probably no need for eac3to. Just use MKVCleaver (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVcleaver) to extract the Flac audio, then convert it using something else or load it into your editing program etc.

[tebasuna51]

Don't worry about the WARNING.
If this GUI don't work use HDStreamExtractor or UsEac3to

[AGuyWithAGuitar32]

What framerate did you use when you ripped it, and how did you rip it?

A. I didn't rip this, I got the rip from TPB, don't hate me.
B. on the TPB page, he listed the encoder as "Ares@CHD", and listed the framerate is 23.75,

Also, just tried MKVCleaver, getting an error.

"Line 2820 (File "C:\Program Files\MKVCleaver\MKVcleaver_x64.eve")
Error: Array variable subscript badly formatted."

I'll try a couple of other GUIs.

[Guest]

A. I didn't rip this, I got the rip from TPB, don't hate me.
I don't hate you, but I do have to ask you to read and follow our forum rules, especially rule 6.

You cannot discuss or even mention such material here. Thank you for your understanding.

@all

Do not give help on this issue.

[AGuyWithAGuitar32]

OK, sorry about that. Promise not to do it again. thanks for all the help that was provided.

Quote from changelog :

v 1.09 beta 11
- Added thd+ac3 as an audtio output type

I don't see it. Anyone else ?

[rapscallion]

Well, this is certainly one DEAD thread!

[junior_l3oss]

do you think 24 fps option?

[Hitesh12]

How do I install and use this GUI ?
I really have no idea.
Do I have to paste in some specific location ? How do I make it work with mkvtoolnix ?
Please help

[rapscallion]

I've been playing around with some settings in the eac3toand More GUI, out of curiosity.

When entering a source file, DTS-HD 24 bit, and checking the "Downconvert to" box to "16" (or any other number), the resulting file is still 24 bit. How come?

Another question, why are there so many resolution options, 14-23 bit? I thought that 16 and 24 were the only BD (or other formats) compliant resolutions.

[sneaker_ger]

If you only extract (no re-encoding) the downconvert option is ignored.

[tebasuna51]

@rapscallion
I moved your post from eac3to thread.

Of course bitdepth 14,15,17-23 don't have sense and can't be changed by eac3to.

I never know how use this GUI and can't test the "Downconvert to" box to "16"

[rapscallion]

Thank you both....now that's cleared up.

@tebasuna, I would have posted here first, however, as you can see, this thread is deader than the proverbial door nail. :)

just a couple of posts, including mine, in the last 3 years.

[tebasuna51]

This GUI is abandoned (last version from 02/01/2010) and can't manage new eac3to parameters, for instance decode DTS-HD with -dcadec.

When load a BD folder, or a mkv, don't show mpls list, or track list. Cliking in 'Parse Tracks' seems do the job but don't show the output.
How you select the tracks to demux or convert?

I recommend use another eac3to GUI like HD DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141829) (also included in MeGUI), or UsEac3to (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145574) with some other tools.

[rapscallion]

Thanks for the link. It appears someone else has taken over the new release,V 0.9, which is first one since 2010. I tried it, however, when trying to run it , I get msg " not a valid win32 application" . V 0.8 works but, then again it's also 5 yrs old and has NO decoding features, strictly an extractor. So, I'll stick with the "More" GUI, which has been working fine for me, for my purposes.

In eac3to and More GUI there is a separate tab to extract/ decode audio and video, once the source file is selected. (from a separate pop up dialog box)

http://forum.doom9.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=14975&d=1440446011

[tebasuna51]

V 0.8 need only .NET 2, but V 0.9 need .NET 4. Of course can decode 'Extract As' and also add new parameters in '+Options' capture.

I see the More tabs, but how can select the desired track?

Yes, running Net 4 for quite some time now.

See the desired track number in the track listing to the right. I'm selecting DTS 5.1 audio, so I want to be in the Audio Tab of the program. In this case/example track #4 . Enter in the track box, just to the right of the Title Set box.

The source file can be MKV, *.m2ts, or just about any other container. Even *.mpls.

[tebasuna51]

I was using the last zip version1.10.01 than don't open any window with track list. Seems a buggy version at least in my OS (W 7 SP 1)

Using exe version 1.09 Beta 11 yes, there are a track list window and I can select traks in Audio tab.
Also I see the command line used, but I can't edit to add new parameters (-dcadec, -downstereo for instance).

About bitdepth. Add parameters like -down13 than don't exist for eac3to and is ignored.
Only -down16 is accepted when Save As Type wav.
The extension .w64 is not supported. A workaround is use Type <none> and put in Filename something like: NAME.w64" (only one double quote at finish)

stdout only support NeroAacEnc and Pcm2Tsmu when there are many other encoders supported: Lame, qaac, ffdcaenc, oggenc, opus, ...

At least version 1.09 Beta 11 is usable, with limitations.

[rapscallion]

At least version 1.09 Beta 11 is usable, with limitations.
Agreed !

Under "Downmixing" there is an option to downmix multichannel to stereo.

What is -dcadec, I don't see it in the documentaion ?

[Q-the-STORM]

What is -dcadec, I don't see it in the documentaion ?

it forces using dcadec (DTS Coherent Acoustics decoder) for decoding DTS instead of arcsoft... it is better than arcsoft for the most part (it can't decode DTS Express)

[tebasuna51]

Under "Downmixing" there is an option to downmix multichannel to stereo.

That use -down2 to make a DPL II downmix.

The parameter work (for compatibility issues) but was replaced with:
-downDpl
Many users don't want a DPL mix, now a new parameter make a simple stero mix with:
-downStereo

[rapscallion]

Thanks "Q" for the explanation.

@tebasuana... I can see that you use far more of eac3to's functions than I do.
