New eac3to GUI: HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor

[banker_rishad]

I dont have bluray drive, but i have it on harddisk. so which program to run to convert it to dts dvd

[Greif]

You just have to point to the location of your backup folder.

If you don't have the disc, then I can't help you.

[Greif]

How's the program working for everyone? Any feature requests? Bugs?

I've been quite busy at work and haven't had time to look at this but I should have lots of time over the holidays to work on it.

It seems to be working quite well. I'm using it almost exclusively to test it's functionality across different disks. As far as feature requests go, I can't think of much ATM. It seems to be pretty good all around. Maybe you could list the DAR along with the playlist name and length when the "features" are displayed. No big deal. Maybe you could have the output path default to the root of the source directory. Also it would be nice to have access to the command line that is used in case you need to troubleshoot. I think that's the most important. Also drop downs for the available options would be nice. For example, if you select AC3 as output the drop down would let you choose -448, -640, etc.
It's a great tool. Thanks for making it. I'm glad to see you are still showing interest in it. I was getting worried that it had fallen by the wayside, like the other two eac3to gui's.

jep, quite handy and worked well so far.

feature request: ability to open m2ts directly :)

[nwg]

Mine is working great for BD and HD DVD. The main thing I would like is a few times I have changed my mind about what to extract and cancel. However, this means it quits the program. I then have to wait for it to load the disc again. Can it just not quit when cancel is pressed?

The ability to load m2ts files would be good too.

[saint-francis]

I then have to wait for it to load the disc again. Can it just not quit when cancel is pressed?

I don't think that this will be possible as the tool is intended to be integrated into MeGUI which, if you are familiar with the way MeGUI operates) will not afford this opportunity. MeGUI does remember the last folder you selected from though and this might server your purpose.

Never used MeGUI but what had that got to do with this GUI as it works with EAC3to. Surely it is not hard to stop the program from quiting itself when pressing cancel.

I just tried it with Top Gun HD DVD and cannot extract a DTS ES track as there is no DTS selection in the audio type.

[Greif]

In the EXE version of this tool, I will include abort functionality.

[Greif]

A bonus feature of the newest eac3to version is that it will automatically run a 2nd pass if required (gaps, etc). Check the log to ensure that everything worked ok.

Maybe you could list the DAR along with the playlist name and length when the "features" are displayed.

Is that provided by eac3to? The tool only displays what eac3to outputs.

Maybe you could have the output path default to the root of the source directory.

Most of the time (for me anyway) the source directory will be a optical drive.

Also it would be nice to have access to the command line that is used in case you need to troubleshoot.

I like this idea. It would be good to provide this feature to tweak the command line prior to processing.

drop downs for the available options would be nice. For example, if you select AC3 as output the drop down would let you choose -448, -640, etc.

I have always thought of adding this, but haven't had the time. I would need to keep on top of changes to eac3to as this could lead to issues quickly.

I was getting worried that it had fallen by the wayside, like the other two eac3to gui's.

I'm on it. :D

[Greif]

feature request: ability to open m2ts directly :)

That was originally in the tool, but I took it. But stayed tuned... :)

[saint-francis]

Also, one small bug I forgot to mention. The drop downs aren't too responsive. I usually have to click twice to make one open.

And yes, the DAR is displayed by eac3to. It helps to identify extras and the like. While the length is usually a dead giveaway, if you are dealing with something like TV episodes it would be nice to be able to distinguish between a 23 minute 1080p episode and a 21 minute 480i commentary.

[Greif]

Ok a new version is imminent ;)

As far as showing DAR (and other stream info), you can now hover over a feature and a tool-tip will be displayed showing the primary streams within the feature. How does that sound? I have fixed the dropdown bug as well.

More details to follow... Sorry it's taken so long for an update. I had planned to do a bunch of work over the holidays but .... it was the holidays... ;)

[Greif]

New version is up...

[salehin]

Thanks a lot, Greif :)

[Paddy97]

New version is up...

Thanks a lot! works like a charm on my system and is a real treat to have.

[Greif]

I'm looking to spruce up the graphics in the app. Any budding graphic artists out there want to lend a hand?

I need graphics for the following:
- folder icon
- file (or media) icon
- extract icon
- cancel icon

[Greif]

BTW, I really need to start doing a better job at detailing the different versions. I"ll add a version listing to the first posting (ala eac3to) so it's easy to identify what's been changed.

Thanks everyone for using the app. I built it as a tool for myself, but I'm glad others are finding it useful. :D

Are there still plans to integrate this with MeGUI?

[Greif]

Yep. there are a couple more features I want to add. Then I am either having to write the code to integrate into MeGui or pass it on to someone else to do it.

I think it should be integrated in the February time frame.

Sent you a PM in this issue.

[saint-francis]

Thank you. Your efforts are much appreciated. I have been using your tool almost exclusively with eac3to and it's working out quite well. I'm glad to see the new improvements.
One request though. Aside from being able to have access to the command line it would also be nice to have a place to add custom commands. In case people want to do something like -check or -test or -seektoiframes.

Thanks again!

You can do so in the Options field.

What I'd like to see in a future Version is a different filenaming. Best would be a similiar style as eac3to does by default.

[saint-francis]

You can do so in the Options field.


Do you mean next to the listed files? Correct me if I'm wrong but -check isn't a valid switch for any of the files that eac3to will list.

[Kurtnoise]

@Greif: may I suggest you to add

else if (Regex.IsMatch(data, @"(core: .*)", RegexOptions.Compiled))
{
return;
}

to the backgroundWorker_OutputDataReceived()

;)

@Kurtnoise13

Thanks. I'm going to modify the AudioStream class to take that information in.

[Greif]

Thanks again!

Can't you specify -seektoiframes on the Video streams?

As far as -check and -test, I'll see what I can do.

[saint-francis]

What I'm getting at is a more tactile way to work with the command before it's run. There are some eac3to options that just aren't going to make it into a GUI that would be nice to be able to use. Like -demux and -test. And I wasn't thinking when I said -seektoIframes. It certainly can be done as the tool is now.
Nice work on the improvements BTW. I'm using the GUI right now! The tool-tips of the playlist info is very nice indeed.
Oh BTW, I'm assuming that once this makes it's way into MeGUI it will use the normal MeGUI feature for selecting files which remembers the last open folder. If not it would be nice to add this feature. I for one always rip the disk to the HDD before processing with eac3to and it's redundant for me to navigate to the same folder twice. I understand that many people run eac3to directly from disk so I understand that this request is not going to please all but it does seem that this behavior is fairly standard for many tools.

[Paddy97]

A small question. Is there a way to increase the number of features from todays 8?

The reason I ask is that the Pixars Wall-E movie have a short film that I want to rip and its only 7 minutes and this means that with all the different PLS for different languages of the main movie it never makes onto the features list. Or is this a limitation of eac3to?

[Greif]

The tool only shows what eac3to provides. That's a request for the eac3to thread.

[DaMacFunkin]

I Can't get this program to see anything, whether it be a Blu-Ray / HD DDVD Disks or a ripped BDMV folder on the hard drive... it just doesnt show anything, i have the latest eac3to (3.03), any ideas?

[Greif]

Are you running AnyDVD?

[damngod]

I Can't get this program to see anything, whether it be a Blu-Ray / HD DDVD Disks or a ripped BDMV folder on the hard drive... it just doesnt show anything, i have the latest eac3to (3.03), any ideas?

You need to click on Feature(s) in order to scan your folder(s). I didn't realize it at first use...

Btw, the new eac3to seems to send different informations now, that are not compatible anymore with this GUI (I was unable to encode to FLAC with the latest ea3to, unrecognized command, as well as others).

[Greif]

could you post the log files if you still have them? Thanks.

[ron spencer]

can you put a version number on this?

[Greif]

next release will have version information.

[DaMacFunkin]

Sorry didn't realise you had to click features )Doh!(

[yankeefan]

I was trying to backup my best friends girl which has seamless branching in it. BDinfo shows over 25 playlists for the movie. The movie came out fine but only 15 seconds of the audio plays. Is there something special I must do to get all the audio?


Thanks

[ron spencer]

can you add an option for chapter file (txt) so that it reads:

00:00:01:323
00:00:05:543
etc.


thanks for cool proggy!!!

[Greif]

@yankeefan, @ron spencer:

This tool is just a front-end to eac3to, if you want to request a new feature or a bug is found, use the eac3to forum.

edit: of course, if a bug is found in the GUI, then that's all on me ;)

[Greif]

Ok, I'm adding the functionality to select individual files. So far I am allowing the selection of VOB|EVO|M2TS|MPLS.

Are there any other formats I should accept?

[ron spencer]

Just to let you know that I cannot resize your window...should I be able to?

Also, is the downloadable version now 0.5? Does not say 0.5 anywhere on program

thanks!!!

[Greif]

Currently, the window is not resizable.

I just came up with 0.5 ;) (had to come up with something...)

The next version that is released will have a version #

TS would be great too :)

:thanks: for adding different source files

This is a great tool. I hate command line tools (because I'm a moron when it comes to entering commands), and this really simplifies everything.

Thanks.

great tool does it support thd+ac3 output files? did not see the option in the dropdown only ac3 and thd seperate.
