[spida_singh]

not working here either, just get an error stating program has stopped working

[Greif]

Sorry, it was compiled against .NET 3.5 and using a couple of extension methods.

I recompiled to .NET 2.0 and made the extension method regular old methods.

You should be ok now. Try downloading again and let me know the results.

[kurt]

gui is working now. but why it can only open mpls? wouldn't it be nice to process directly from m2ts too?

[menlvd]

1. puting imput G:\Blu_Ray\Scary Movie 4
got error [22:25:58] Source file "G:\Blu_Ray\Scary" not found.
2. no manual entering extensions for extracted stream

[Greif]

If you point it to the folder of your HD-DVD or Blu-Ray drive (while running anydvd) or to your rip folder, it should list all features found in the specified folder.

@menlvd: what do you get when you run the following at a command prompt:

eac3to.exe G:\Blu_Ray\Scary Movie 4

[menlvd]

If you point it to the folder of your HD-DVD or Blu-Ray drive (while running anydvd) or to your rip folder, it should list all features found in the specified folder.

@menlvd: what do you get when you run the following at a command prompt:

prog needs put this line too ""

[shon3i]

Ok, now works thanks :)

I quicktested, and i get error when tryed to demux HDDVD when i press streams button, program just closed.

On bluray sources everything working fine for now.

I noticed small bug in filenames http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/5835/91369216ar9.jpg

and small suggestion, for video stream you should add support for extract to raw streams instead MKV

[rica]

Further processing of VC1mkvs on TSMuxer is always a big problem. So extracting raw media is a better idea.

[shon3i]

Further processing of VC1mkvs on TSMuxer is always a big problem. So extracting raw media is a better idea.
Agree, it's better to add both options and user choose what need.

[Greif]

Thanks for the input. I'll have an update out soon.

[Greif]

Updated:

- BUG: spaces in path
- ADD: video extract type(s)
- ADD: feature number in extract filename

[menlvd]

Updated:

need file ext for audio .w64 and .AGM

[shon3i]

I still get crash for HDDVD titles when press streams button

[Greif]

Updated:

- ADD: audio extract types: AGM, RF64, W64

[Greif]

I still get crash for HDDVD titles when press streams button

could you provide the output from eac3to for whichever feature you're trying to get streams for?

eac3to.exe [source] [feature#])

[saint-francis]

It seems to work well with the one stream I have currently tested it with. But not being able to see the details of the different playlists at once is a big problem for some sources. Eac3toGUI does a really good job of displaying all of the playlists.

All in all it's a pretty good straight forward tool.

[Greif]

For choosing features based on duration, angles, or version (eg Director's Cut)... yeah, I need to think about how to better display this information.

I could display a feature grid with all the relevant information. Would that work?

[saint-francis]

feature grid

Could you explain this term a little more?

[Greif]

like what you see with the stream grid. but you would see the feature's main details. you would be able to click on the feature and its streams would be presented in a hierarchical grid format.

Feature 1
... Stream 1
... Stream 2
....
Feature 2
....

this would replace the feature dropdown, stream button and stream grid. As you expand the feature rows, its streams would be retrieved.

[saint-francis]

Greif, that sounds excellent.
I suggest that next to the playlist number you place some simple details like the AR and running time to help clarify what is where. There are some disks that have many playlists that are all about the same length and it can be pretty confusing trying to deal with them.

[Greif]

In the meantime you can click 'details' beside the feature button to view some of that information.

[saint-francis]

In the meantime you can click 'details' beside the feature button to view some of that information.

Right. There seems to be a little bug with that feature:

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x270/saint-francis-photos/Untitled-2.jpg

It listed it all twice. This doesn't happen with every playlist.

[Greif]

I'll need to track that down.

I also need to parse out the m2ts file(s) for each playlist.

[Greif]

BTW, progress bars are not showing properly. this will be fixed in the next release. coming soon...

[Greif]

Updated:

- ADD: Feature DataGridView
- BUG: Progress bar values not showing proper
- ADD: eac3to link to http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966

The file(s) dropdown in the features grid may not be working 100% so let me know if you run into any issues.

[shon3i]

I am still geting error now on Blu-Ray too

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/4315/30574272ym7.th.jpg (http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/4315/30574272ym7.jpg)

This happend when i press feature button, and progress goes to 100%

[Greif]

Is there anything in the detail of the error to shed some light on the problem?

Can you run the command using eac3to and show me the output? (Just get a feature listing of your movie)

I need to verify the output that is getting parsed correctly from the StdOutput.

[shon3i]

i usually extract with eac3to 0000.m2ts (or feature1.evo+feature2.evo) output.mkv and everything work fine.

here is when i use same cmd from HDDVD/Blu-Ray extractor

[Greif]

Can you run the following and show me the results?

"C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "F:\HD\The.Transporter.Blu-Ray.1080p.MPEG2.DTS-HD\89279477_TRANSPORTER"

[saint-francis]

Just a suggestion:

Right now as this tool is stand alone from MeGUI it makes sense that there is a progress bar on it. But once it's integrated into MeGUI are you planning on using the normal MeGUI progress indicator window?

P.S. It's crashing for me too now, and at no precisely reproducible place.. :(

[Greif]

In MeGUI, the progress bars will still be used for when the features/streams are collected, but the "heavy duty" processing will be done using the job queue.

Ok, it seems I may have introduce a few bugs... I will try to track them down.

[spida_singh]

I receive the above error when it has finished analyzing at 100%. I selected my BD folder, clicked features, works it's way up to 100%, then stops.

[Greif]

Ok, I need to do some regression testing... Give me a day or so to get an update out.

[hubblec4]

I receive the above error when it has finished analyzing at 100%. I selected my BD folder, clicked features, works it's way up to 100%, then stops.

yes i have the same problem. and then crash the prog.

hubble

[idbirch2]

Just tried this on The Hulk BluRay and its working great, just a couple of cosmetic issues:

1) I can't resize the window. I get the double-ended cursor but can't resize.

2) The progress bar doesn't work for me and instead I get

"Unknown line: "progress: 28%"
"Unknown line: "progress: 29%"
"Unknown line: "progress: 30%" etc. Great work so far though, thanks very much.

Edit: Also, I've noticed that HDBrStreamExtractor.exe uses a lot of CPU time for a GUI, its currently using between 30 and 40% of a Core2Duo 2.4GHz, seems too high.

[Greif]

1) the window is not meant to resize

2) that will be fixed in the next release

Do you see the same CPU usage when using eac3to on its own?

[idbirch2]

Regarding CPU usage, eac3to uses the same amount of CPU whether I run it manually or through HDBrStreamExtractor. I was trying to say that the HDBrStreamExtractor executable is using a lot of CPU. Is the monitoring of your StdOutput possibly a little too intense? How often is it polling the command prompt window?

[Greif]

Everything is done asynchronously. What that means is that every time eac3to writes to StdOutput/StdError the associated event is fired. There is no polling of the process.

If HDBrStreamExtractor is using a lot of CPU while on standby, then that is something that needs to be addressed. It could be possibly due to the .NET garbage collector cleaning up resources?

[idbirch2]

Sorry, I know nothing about .NET :(

[Jaja1]

If HDBrStreamExtractor is using a lot of CPU while on standby, then that is something that needs to be addressed.I'm having a lot of CPU usage as well. But not in standby mode, but while executing. Goes up to 50% and sometimes more (WinXP+SP3).

1) the window is not meant to resizeCould you please make it resizable? It is always a PITA to have such a limited view of the needed information.

And it's a nice tool. Thanks.

[Greif]

I will look at anchoring the controls properly to allow for resizing of the window.

[nwg]

Nice bit of software. I have never got round to working out how to use eac3to for demuxing/extracting. This looks like it might make it easier.

It would be great to be able to use m2ts and evo files directly.

[Greif]

I had the option available to choose a file previously. It may make a return visit. ;)

[nwg]

The software still crashes when I choose to select a HD-DVD movie. It doesn't get as far as showing me the components. It saids it has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Thanks. I'm a bit busy this week at work.

I'll have an update out tonight.

[Greif]

Updated:

-BUG: Parsing streams
-ADD: TrueHD/AC3 extract type
-ADD: Filter extract types based on Audio type (i.e. only TrueHD streams will display THD and THD+AC3 extract options)

If you were crashing before, give this a try and let me know how it works.

And as always, if you have any suggestions or comments on making this better, feel free to share them. :)

:thanks:

[Greif]

Updated:

-BUG: Feature names were always ending with a period
-CODE: refactored the Stream class to expose ExtractTypes to clean things up a bit

[shon3i]

I think there is one more problem with HDDVD titles, i just tryed to demux Crank HDDVD movie and i get message

I go to the folder and i saw the problem

the structure of Crank HDDVD

So FEATURE1.EVO+FEATURE2.EVO is not default, can be xxx1.exe+xxx2.evo

[spida_singh]

Crashed again when loading folder after 100% analysis.

[nwg]

It crashed after 100% analysis for Transformers and that is FEATURE1 and FEATURE2.evo. It worked for Fearless which is L0_MainMovie.evo and L1_MainMovie.evo.

[Greif]

I'm curious... how are you backing-up/accessing your discs?

Are you using AnyDVD or another program?

[Greif]

new version crashed here when trying to load the godfather folder

http://i33.tinypic.com/2h7i8ev.png

Does it crash when you select "d:\Incoming\bd-tg\" as input?

Select the root of the disc. (E.g. F:\ or F:\Movie)

[kurt]

I am using AnyDVD to rip the whole disc. It doesn't matter whether I am selecting the folder of the movie or the HVDVD_TS folder. It crashes when it gets to 100%.

[Greif]

I am dog-fooding this app all the time and I have yet to see it crash on me... :(

Do any of you have Visual Studio and can help debug the problem?

[nwg]

I am afraid I don't have that but it just worked for the Kingdom HD-DVD.

I did notice one thing. I was extracting the extras to watch separately as joined evo's. One extra was a single evo and it didn't appear as a evo in the stream selection.

It would be good to have a rebuild/remux feature like in evodemux. While that program is good. It is not possible to find out what the tick boxes are in terms of what languages and subtitles they are very easily. It would be good to be able to select what I want then click on rebuild to create a new evo or m2ts file.

[lobothefoots]

I found two problems using this GUI

-when I extract an AC3 stream to WAVS using libvab (not nero) the log say it can't find the withe.noise file.

-I can't extract AC3 to DTS anymore.

the source is a Bluray directory

hope this helps

[Greif]

1) sounds like a bug with eac3to, do you get the same result when trying the same in a command window? If so, submit a bug on the eac3to thread

2) ahhhh.. due to the filtering of the audio extract types. I will remove this "feature" in the next version

I'm thinking of providing the ability to select single evo/m2ts files in addition to folders. It would bypass the feature grid and just show you the streams contained in your selection.

The goal of this tool is to strictly extract streams, nothing more.

[lobothefoots]

no I don't have this problem with eac3to 2.69

[Greif]

... the log say it can't find the withe.noise file.

Is that the exact wording from the log? (withe --> white)

I'll try it later today to see if I can reproduce.

[lobothefoots]

sorry , of course it is white and not withe (typo)

edit: try to check this screen capture at
http cps.tech.free.fr/temp/pb.JPG

[Greif]

can you provide the entire contents of the log? thanks.

[TMC]

Looks like it would be a nice GUI, but I can't get it to work. As someone else has said, it crashes on selecting an HDDVD feature as soon as "analysing" gets to 100%.

Tried with a BluRay and got an unhandled exception error.

OS = Vista Ultimate. AnyDVD.

[Greif]

Ok I am seriously getting :devil: Maybe it's my own discs but I have yet to have it crash on me.

I will release a version with verbose logging. Give it a try with that version on a couple of different discs that you've had issues with. It will be out later today...

That way, I can figure out what the problem is and fix it.

:thanks:

[lobothefoots]

can you provide the entire contents of the log? thanks.

it appears only in your gui, there is nothing in the log;
I guess it is because there is no [a**] tag in front of the line.

I can report as well alot of crashes
With die hard bluray movie, it loads the content but if I try to demux it crashes.

I'll try the verbose version.

[Kurtnoise]

Just copy the log from eac3to here using this command:

eac3to.exe "\Path where is my disc\"

[nwg]

It is working great for me for Blu Rays. However when I use it on a disc with DTS MA audio, I cannot select DTS as the stream type. Do I use RAW? Also what does +options do?

[azad]

@nwg
I've the same problem.

@Greif
Great tool! Thanks!

One thing, for all my DTS-MA streams the file extension is ".dtshd". But since Stream Extractor uses ".dts" as file extension for DTS-MA streams, I've to rename all the audio streams manually. That's a lot of work and I'm quite lazy :), so it would be nice to have an additional file extension for DTS-MA streams and not only ".dts".

[Greif]

For those having problems with loading features, here (http://stuff.griffore.com/stuff/HdBrStreamExtractor_Debug.zip) is a debug version. This version has some extra logging and will create a log file named HdBrStreamExtractor.txt in the same directory.

If you are having issues, please run this version and upload the log file to http://pastebin.com/ so I can review. Thanks.

@azad: I need to clean up some of the audio extract types. It should be done soon.

[Greif]

@nwg/@azad: could either of you show me the output of the discs you are trying to extract from (with DTS HD MA)?

Show me the result of this:
eac3to.exe [disc location]
ex. eac3to.exe f:

And then show me the result of the stream listing for the selected feature:
eac3to.exe [disc location] [stream#]

Now everything works fine!!!
The DTS MA stream is listed in the stream listing.

And :thanks: for the dtshd extension! :)

[spida_singh]

Greif, 100% fine over here! Good work!

[nwg]

Sorry I haven't posted updates but I have been busy. THanks for the new version and will test it as soon as I can.

One thing I did notice. a couple of times I had had to cancel extracting due to picking the wrong options. When I do that, it exits the program. I then have to load the disc back in. Would it be possible for it not to exit?

[Greif]

Since the idea of this window is to be a MeGUI tool. The extraction process will be done via a job in the MeGUI queue. Thus, having all the benefits of the queue, such as: setting priority, aborting, etc.

For the executable version, I'll think about adding a button for canceling the extract.

[Greif]

am I missing any other extract types for audio? Can they be cleaned up a bit?

[madshi]

Don't know if you have to adjust your GUI to that?

[Greif]

I'll need to make changes to parse in the embedded/core details of the stream. However, the program should still work in the meantime.

Thanks for the update.

[nwg]

DTS Master Audio is now showing up ok. It would be great if it could extract the AC3 and DTS tracks from HD audio.

[Greif]

@nwg

I believe you can do that using the -core option. That is more of a eac3to usability question. You might want to confirm on the eac3to thread. (or check the wiki)

I already do it with the Eac3to and more Gui but it would be good to do with your one. I find yours much user friendly to use.

You can do it; you just need to populate the correct options/extract type.

Or maybe I'm not understanding your problem...

I want to extract the DTS core from DTS HD tracks or the Ac3 for from TrueHD. All I can do with your program is select the audio type. The options box does nothing for me at all. It is just a empty box.

If I select DTS for a DTS HD MA track, I get the full DTS HD audio. I thought if I select DTS rather than DTSHD then I would get the core track but I didn't.

Confirmed, extracted a dtshd file when saving as dtshd and dts, but, saving as ac3 does work ok.:)

[Greif]

To extract the core DTS from a DTS-HD stream you need to use the -core option.

To get the AC3 from TruHD/AC3 (embedded AC3) or TrueHD (without embedded AC3) steams just extract as AC3. With the TrueHD/AC3 stream it will just extract the core AC3, with the TrueHD stream it will transcode to AC3.

At least this is how I believe it works...

This is a quote from a post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1197470#post1197470) madshi made on the eac3to thread:
HD DVD style TrueHD tracks consist of only TrueHD frames. These are identified by eac3to as being "TrueHD". The correct extension for such tracks is "*.thd". Blu-Ray style TrueHD tracks consist of TrueHD audio frames and AC3 audio frames. Both types of frames are interweaved. eac3to identifies these tracks as "TrueHD/AC3". The correct file extension is "*.thd+ac3". The file extension "*.ac3" is self explaining.

So, if you demux a HD DVD style TrueHD track to "*.thd", the track is demuxed as it is. If you demux it to "*.thd+ac3", eac3to creates AC3 frames on the fly and interweaves them with the HD DVD data to create a Blu-Ray compatible "TrueHD/AC3" track. If you demux a HD DVD style TrueHD track to "*.ac3", the TrueHD track is transcoded to AC3.

If you demux a Blu-Ray style TrueHD track to "*.thd", the track is demuxed with the interweaved AC3 frames stripped away. If you demux it to "*.thd+ac3", the track is demuxed unmodified. If you demux a Blu-Ray style TrueHD track to "*.ac3", the AC3 frames are demuxed as they are with the TrueHD frames stripped away.

It can be even more complicated: If you demux a Blu-Ray TrueHD/AC3 track by using e.g. "eac3to source 2: audio.thd+ac3 -192", eac3to strips the original interweaved AC3 frames away, creates new AC3 frames with 192kbit/s on the fly and interweaves them with the original TrueHD frames coming from the Blu-Ray track.

I hope you're finally confused now...

[nwg]

I haven't had any problems with this program for a while now. I made use of it when I realised I didn't have enough disc space. I used it to select just the Video track and the DTS-HD MA audio from a Blu ray while using AnyDVD. I saved having to copy over 15GB of data I didn't want. It took a little longer than I was expecting but it did it ok.

[nwg]

I have extracted a truehd+ac3 from Blade Runner HD DVD. The file name has audio delay -1ms. I want to create a Blu Ray in tsmuxer. When I load the audio track in, there is a box for audio delay. Do I put -1ms in it, or is the audio already synced with the video and keep it at 0?

[idbirch2]

You can do. That said, if you don't and go on to actually notice a 1ms delay, I will hand deliver you a solid gold unicorn.

[ron spencer]

cool tool!!!

But I cannot resize your proggy's window

[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.

[saint-francis]

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


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.

[kurt]

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 :)

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

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

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()

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 #

Click on the feature row you would like to see the streams of.

Maybe I'm not understanding your problem.

There is no feature button like there used to be. If i click on extract I get the error "Retreive features prior to enqueueing job".

Just below the "Input" field there is a blue "feature" text that is underlined. Click on that one and you are all set. Thats the location of the old button.

Ok thanks. I think the button is better as I never saw that underlined and as a link.

[mikelebron]

Question, why does the CPU utilization for the GUI process almost equal the eac3to process? Isnt eac3to performing all the heavy lifting?

[Greif]

I think it's a focus thing, since the GUI is in the foreground, it gets the CPU's attention. I can set the priority of both the GUI and the eac3to process.

[MaFL]

Hi Greif,

could you please add support for:

DTS-ES 7: DTS-ES, German, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48khz

DTS Hi-Res
4: DTS Hi-Res, German, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 3018kbps, 48khz
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48khz)

These can only be converted to AC3. No DTS option available

Would it be possibly to preload the default extensions for audio like for video? User configurable would be a dream ;)
Because mostly everyone converts always to his standard settings.
e.g. for me it would be: THD always to FLAC.

Also it would be nice to have the language in the filename for audio & subtitles.
#FEATURE_#STREAM_LANGUAGE_subtitle/audio.extension
#FEATURE_#STREAM_subtitle/audio_LANGUAGE.extension

Thanks for this tool!

Matt

[Greif]

@MaFL

Sure thing. I will make the changes to those audio stream types.

I like the idea of having default extract settings. I will add to the list of things to do.

Sorry, I haven't release anything lately, I've been busy. I will try to get something out this weekend.

[mikelebron]

Let me ask you why does the HdBr process have more threads and utilize more CPU then eac3to? I also noticed that on my quad core, one of my cores goes to 100% and all other cores hover around 8 - 10%. Is HdBr optimized for multiple cores?

[Greif]

I would say no... it is not optimized for multiple cores. Currently, the BackgroundWorker class is being used to farm out to eac3to. I'm sure it could be optimized a bit better by using the Thread class and doing some plumbing work yourself, but I'm not really in the mood to do it.

I can see if I can clean things up a bit more.

[~bT~]

FEATURE REQ:

set (default)/remember last output folder.
remember last source folder.

and you know the rest as i pm'd u :)

[spida_singh]

eac3to 3.06 adds mkv options, is this a feature you could reflect in your tool? Would be great, madshi did state it's not fully complete yet, so, maybe it could come later? Cheers :D

[Greif]

Yep, I'm working on single-file(s) feature selection... it's coming... slowly but surely.

[Greif]

I know I said I would have something out, but I'm working on some bugs and the latest release of eac3to introduced some exciting features (MKV input anyone??) :D

[kurt]

yeah, mkv input is a great thing :)

[fourbigkids]

Hi Greif and others.

Been using ToNmt with some success but having a problem with a group of HD-DVDs with TrueHD and giving this GUI a work out. I am a little new at this and very definitely not a sophisticated user of eac3to, tsmuxer, transcoders etc.

I want to extract HD video and the TrueHD track from these movies without degrading the quality. I intend storing them on a NAS and playing them back using a PCH A110. I have been using ToNmt to convert my HD-DVDs to .ts files - those that I convert successfully work fine. So I'd be happy to stick with that format.

I have been selecting the 1080p video file - which is usually VC1 so I leave it as VC1 as I don't have specific need for mkv. I select the True HD audio track and select for THD+AC3, because I understand that the PCH needs interleaved AC3 to playback the TrueHD. The result is two files, one video and one audio.

Is this all I need to do with this GUI in order to produce the main movie and TrueHD? If so, what next What do I do with them now? Is there a simple to use, reliable program to make these files into a .ts or something similar that I can use with my PCH? I thought tsmuxer might be it but I can only get it to pick up the video file (although, at the time I was testing I had left the video on the default setting and it was an mkv file).

Would appreciate some simple instructions on how to proceed or a pointer to where I might be able to find out.

Thanks.

Regards,

Allan

[Greif]

@fourbigkids:

The web page for the PCH A110 says it supports MKV. I would mux everything into an MKV, but I know others like the TS container.

Using the GUI, extract the video to VC1/H264/MKV and the audio to whatever format you want, then mux everything into an MKV using something like MeGUI (a la mkvmerge). Test it out on a movie and see if it works for you.

Sorry I can't comment on ToNmt cuz I've never used it and I don't use the TS container either - strictly MKV for me :D

[setarip_old]

@fourbigkids

Hi!

I'm not personally familiar with "ToNmt". It sounds like it may be useful to me.

Does it convert HD-DVD files ONLY to .ts, or is it also capable of saving as .m2ts?

Hi Grief, OK, possibly stupid question, I can get mkvmerge to open the video file but it doesn't want to know about the .thd+ac3 audio track when I try to open it in the Input window. It doesn't seem to be supported. Is there another program that I could use to mux these files (preferably not tsmuxer which seems to have a bug when it comes to TrueHD)?

Regards,

Allan

[ACrowley]

I noticed that this gui encodes FLAC in 2pass mode via eac3to ?

[Greif]

@Acrowly: the GUI is a front-end to eac3to...

@fourbigkids: I think you can just rename the thd+ac3 track to thd. See if that works for mkvmerge

As an aside, try to keep the posts in this thread related to the GUI. If you need assistance with something, search, PM, or open up another thread.

Just change the format to something that mkvmerge likes. If you don't care about size and want to 100% retain the quality of the audio try transcoding to FLAC. Does the PCH like FLAC?

Greif,

Great tool, thanks for your hard work, how's mkv input coming along?

fourbigkids,

Once you have extracted the video and audio files mux them back into .ts or .m2ts using tsMuxer, search doom and you'll find it, have been using this tool and eac3to to convert lossless True-HD into DTS to play on my A-100, using this process and works perfectly...

[Greif]

Sorry, it's still a work in progress. I underestimated the amount of "real work" I have on my plate. I'm pretty busy as of late.

I will do my best to get a release out ASAP. Please be patient.

[Greif]

Status update - Just got back from vacation and am super busy with work for the next week or so. I will have time to work on this later next week.

sorry.

no worries friend, the price is right, so no complaints

yours is the only front end I use with eac3to as the other GUI registers as a virus with McAfee, would be great if it could work directly with m2ts and mkv's...

[kurt]

no worries friend, the price is right, would be great if it could work directly with m2ts and mkv's...
yeah - this would be great. as long with an option to load multiple m2ts files (like in seamless branching BDs or from selfrecorded HD cameras) :)

waiting... this is imo, the 'best' gui i have used for eac3to. so simple. thanks again Greif!

[Kurtnoise]

you may look at the MeGUI's code (http://megui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/megui/megui/trunk/packages/tools/hdbdextractor/) too (to avoid some wasting time ;))...

this would be great. as long with an option to load multiple m2ts files (like in seamless branching BDs or from selfrecorded HD cameras)
the megui current build (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143508) is able to do that...:)

[Greif]

I saw that. Thanks for putting it in.

When I finally have some time, I'll review the code in the trunk.

[laserfan]

waiting... this is imo, the 'best' gui i have used for eac3to. so simple. thanks again Greif!It is very, very nice, but you'll find it's missing some (pretty basic) features still--I don't want to gripe about it but wish instead to encourage the author to add some of the things mentioned in this thread the last month (or two?). :)

Greif,

any news on a new release? thread getting a bit stale...

[Greif]

the tool is in MeGUI now. different source though. I have the EXE version. I *promise* to have something out this weekend.

[Greif]

I'm setting up a google code project with the latest stable release in the trunk and my current version in a branch. It should be up in the next couple of hours...

[Greif]

A google code project has been created. It is located at: http://code.google.com/p/hdbrstreamextractor/

You can view (http://code.google.com/p/hdbrstreamextractor/source/browse/) the source and download one of the two available releases:
1) HD-DVD/Blue-Ray Stream Extractor 0.5 (http://hdbrstreamextractor.googlecode.com/files/HdBrStreamExtractor_0.5.zip) - this is the release that has been available since January
2) HD-DVD/Blue-Ray Stream Extractor SVN (http://hdbrstreamextractor.googlecode.com/files/HdBrStreamExtractor_svn.zip) - this is the current code, not 100% stable but more features are available

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

[Sharc]

SVN: When opening a folder and clicking Feature(s) I am always getting a <System.NullReferenceException> error.
Very convenient GUI btw., thanks.

[Greif]

I just uploaded a new SVN build. Give that a try.

[Sharc]

Still about the same.
Seems to depend on the disk - some BD folders work fine, for others the error pops up.
When clicking on an mpls the error may be like
<System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException>

[Greif]

Ok. Could you create a new issue and attach the log file?

Thanks.

[Sharc]

Here the log.
Actually when I click the error message away [continue], I can retry by clicking Feature(s) again, and everything works as expected.

Could you copy what is shown in the command window and show it here?

Thanks.

[Sharc]

Translated into English, the response is:
The command ""C:\Users\kok\Movies\BD BODY OF LIES"" is either misspelled or could not be found.

[Greif]

Ok, here's how to do it:

1 - open up a command window by clicking Start and selecting Run. type cmd and press ENTER. A command window should now appear.

2 - go to your rip directory: cd "C:\Users\kok\Movies\BD BODY OF LIES" You should now be in that directory.

3 - retrieve the feature listing from that directory: C:\path\to\eac3to.exe .

4 - retrieve the stream listing from the first feature: C:\path\to\eac3to.exe . 1)

Copy the entire results and paste them here.

You must replace C:\path\to\eac3to.exe with the full path to wherever you have eac3to located.

Hope this helps.

[hxall]

If there are not objections I will be moving my branched code back into the trunk. So there will be stable release of 0.6 made available soon.

no objections from me, but just a couple of suggestions for options (if you are looking for suggestions):

1) Link eac3to to tsMuxeR thru your GUI, that is, take for example a bluray rip with a True-HD soundtrack which I would want to convert to DTS, it would be great if you could demux the THD and convert to DTS (eac3to) and then remux back all thru your interface, and cleanup intermediate files as necessary

2) Same as above but linking eac3to to mkvmergeGUI, demux / convert / remux to mkv

[Greif]

@hxall: I don't see that happening with this tool. It's an extraction (and at most transcoding) tool.

Perhaps it could be chained through MeGui. That's where I would concentrate that effort.

Why does it want to extract MPEG2 streams into MKV only? Can M2V or MPG be an option here?

[saint-francis]

Small bug. If you keep the tool open and run several operations in a row, eventually the drop down boxes start to list the options multiple times.

I love your interface to eac3to! It makes playing Blu-ray on PCs only a few mouse clicks. Without the MKV format (or a special soundcard) we don't get the good sound.

Thanks for your work on this project. There isn't a more elegant simple way to break up and save the streams on BD that I can find at least.

Is there a way in the options for the SUP streams to output the language as the name of the file, i.e. ENGLISH.sup, FRENCH.sup, etc.? Thanks!

Yes, I can add the language to the filename. I'll put it on the list.

I use Vista x64 SP1 with latest Updates /latest eac3to

Your Gui still cant use demuxed Audio Tracks ? i can load them correct and the eac3to Infos will appear, but your gui doesnt offer any conversion/option in the Features Window ?

[Greif]

Which type of files are you working with? The GUI doesn;t support audio files only video/container files.

[kikker]

Version 0.5 doesn't seem to parse the features of several m2ts files I have with the latest eac3to, but the latest SVN works perfectly.

The focus of this GUI is for extracting streams from HD-DVD and Blue-Ray discs. I can look into adding audio file support but I can't promise anything.

"making the ArcSoft DTS decoder work in eac3to:

Sometimes the ArcSoft DTS decoder doesn't work even after you've installed the full retail software. This can usually be fixed by manually adding the ArcSoft "Bin" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Common Files\ArcSoft\Bin") to your environment path. If you don't know how to do this, google "environment path"."

can anyone please explain?

i did try google.....just arcsoft decoder.....

[kikker]

Just a question regarding the extraction of the chapter index for muxing into an MKV. It seems MKVmerge accepts only OGM or XML formatted chapter indexes. Would it be possible to have the chapter in one of these formats, or is this entirely reliant on eac3to's inability to do this?

I'm pretty sure that MKVmerge can take the text file created from your tool into the chapter editor and be saved, but it would save a step I think. Thanks...

[Greif]

Yeah, it's all eac3to. I'm just the pretty face ;)

If that doesn't work, then you need to register the Arcsoft HD audio decoder.

The easiest way is to install Radlight Filter Manager, hit Register, and fish through the Arcsoft folder in Program Files and find the decoder (.ax file).

The demo version works with eac3to and therefore stream extractor.

[rat_killer]

I run the stand alone version of your GUI and it works pretty darn well for extraction from mkv files. Is there any way to update the version of your GUI called by MeGUI so that it also can work with mkv files?

[Greif]

The MeGUI version should accept MKVs as well. When browsing for the file, the MKV file-type is not a selectable type but you can type *.mkv in the file name box and the MKV files should appear. I just tested it and it seems to work.

[rat_killer]

Cool! thanks for the tip!

[deado]

I seem to be having a problem with HDBrStreamExtractor (both SVN and old version), when trying to extract the main video to mkv, it extracts all the way to 100% but then has the error noise and there is no completed extracted file. It only works if I choose to extract it as h264 or VC-1 instead of mkv.

I've only had this problem recently, anyone else getting this? Maybe it's because of a recent AnyDVD update? That's the only thing I can think of.

[Greif]

Anything in the log file?

[deado]

Didn't see anything in the log for eac3to 3.15, rolled back to 3.14 and I then saw a Haali error. Did eac3to test, seems Haali splitter wasn't installed, something must have uninstalled it because it was installed, anyway all working now :)

[swaaye]

I would say no... it is not optimized for multiple cores. Currently, the BackgroundWorker class is being used to farm out to eac3to. I'm sure it could be optimized a bit better by using the Thread class and doing some plumbing work yourself, but I'm not really in the mood to do it.

I can see if I can clean things up a bit more.

I love this app. But I have to ask if you've made any progress on this "issue" with the worker thread pegging one core at 100% doing nothing really while the other CPU core does that actual work. I have only tried the prog on a dual and a quad, but I've been wondering if this issue makes it impossible to use the app on a single core CPU? :)

On a dual core what happens is one core is useless to processing. The other core gets loaded down with all of the working programs. You end up with say neroAAC and eac3to on the only free core maxing it out when these two apps could be on separate cores. I am assuming that eac3to and the apps it calls would run on different core affinities though which may be wrong.. (?)

Let me again stress that this utility is incredibly useful and I am infinitely appreciative of your effort to make it!!!

[Greif]

I will move it up on the todo list :)

[deado]

I don't know if it's a bug/limitation of eac3to, or just this GUI, but I'm having a problem with Mongol UK release.

Stream Extractor only shows the VC-1 1080p24 video and two stereo AC3 tracks for Mongol UK - the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that is present on the disc is not shown! I've tried 0.5 and SVN - both are the same.

Anyone know why this is? Are there other titles with similar problems of not listing the streams properly?

[Kurtnoise]

did you try to run eac3to manually ?

[Mark Pitchford]

I've ripped the UK versiion of Mongol without any trouble... I think I was using the 0.5 build at the time!

[slipknot!]

Does it support DVD's? I tried to extract audio tracks from Crank2 R5, but an AC3 track is missing. It extracted only 2 of them, while there are 3 on the disc.

[deado]

Tried listing it using eac3to manually, and it says the same thing - VC1 1080p24, two AC3 2.0 tracks and that's it. I've tried eac3to 3.15 and 3.16.

Also I'm having another issue - Seven Pounds has player-forced subtitles at the 40-minute mark (when Will Smith is talking to Connie), yet eac3to and HDBrStreamExtractor are unable to find that subtitle track! There are only four subtitle tracks found - English, another English (SDH), French and Spanish (as per back cover). There should be another English track for the forced subtitles during the movie... eac3to has listed it for every other disc I've tried which has forced subs..

This basically makes eac3to useless for Seven Pounds!

[kurt]

demux the english sup file and load it into suprip. tick "only forced subtitles" an see if it helps.... or don't you want a srt file?

[deado]

demux the english sup file and load it into suprip. tick "only forced subtitles" an see if it helps.... or don't you want a srt file?

Ahh thanks, now I've figured it out - the forced subs are part of the main subtitle (18mb), and in the log it says:

Subtitle track 6 contains 1017 normal and 32 forced captions.

This is the first title I've seen that is done like this - all other movies I've encountered have the forced subs as a seperate .sup file, I'll have to watch out for forced subs from the main subtitle file from now on!

And yeh ticking the "only forced subtitles" works for just getting those needed forced subs :)

Hi all.
First off, if theres a thread about this elsewhere or not the correct place for this I apologize, please direct me to where I should be :)

I use the HD stream extractor (EAC3to) for most of my blurays.
However, since the latest updates of MeGUI 3.1.1040 and 3.1.1041 I get constant errors with the stream extractor.

It Queues and shows the codec as EAC3to and the directory where ever I chose with ((xxx)) right after it. As soon as I click start it just says error.

I reverted back to 3.1.1028 and updated all but the core of MEgui and now the stream extractor and Eac3to is working properly.

Is this a new bug in the new core versions, or a fix for it somewhere or am I being a complete noob and missing something simple.

Thanks.

[Kurtnoise]

this has been fixed (http://www.mediafire.com/?2zyzzexy5yj)...

No, nothing you did wrong. That is an outstanding bug that I have to track down.

I have been really busy @ work and still continue to be so I haven't had time to work on this stuff. I will get to it probably during the summer, hopefully sooner.

I do not think the same things is happening in MeGUI so you can try using that as well.

I have tried HDBrStreamExtractor numerous times. I have found that at least 50% of the time it chokes and complains about 'discontinuity' in the stream file or some such nonsense.

But when I run eac3to from the command line the conversion always works!

I would really like to get this program working as it is the only GUI I am aware of that supports MKV video and FLAC audio. The author of ClownBD, for some reason, thinks it unimportant to support the FLAC audio conversion. In my mind this is the key benefit of conversion. After all, the video remains the same just in a different container and DRM-free.

[Greif]

Can you provide me with the exact error message? Can you show the log that is created?

I've been using the SVN version for ages now, and it works pretty well (as long as you don't try and do two discs in a row). But the 0.5 version is, umm, unusable basically.

Could you edit the first post and make it much more obvious that the SVN version is the one to download please?


And thanks for this application. It makes eac3to much easier, and does 90% of what eac3to will do, yet it's simple and user-friendly (unlike the other gui I tried).

Cheers

Mark

[Greif]

Yes, I've been meaning to clean up the downloads and promote SVN to 0.6 (or whatever) ... I'll try to do it this week but I will make a quick edit of the 1st post to make sure people are downloading the SVN for now.

Real life work plays the bills... it will get done though...

Thanks.

I get this problem very infrequently (<5%). For me, when I get it, it talks about a missing sync byte. On the most recent one that I got (John Adams Disc 1 Part 2) it happened on command line as well (and I did not check this in any other case). This makes sense since all the GUI does (I think) is to generate a command line and then execute it.

The fix that I found was to uncheck "Prohibited User Operations", "Remove Annoying Adverts and Trailers" and "BD Live" in AnyDVD. With this done I did not get the discontinuity. Note that it played though the area of the discontinuity just fine in TMT with or without these options checked.

Note that the problem is not limited to eac3to. I also got something similar with MakeMKV.

Thanks! Somewhere in the dark depths of my memory I recall there being issues with those settings. I suspect those settings are only useful when using AnyDVD to rip to ISO or folders. I'll check and report back.

Yes the command line works fine, it's the GUI that causes a critical error.

I tried 10 times, 9 of those times it got a critical error I pasted above, 1 time it actually went through its scan and let me view the streams and select the output method (TXT,MKV, FLAC) and was output into mkv container w/ flac audio as I wanted.

For Blu-rays it errors out after it reaches 100% for the stream scan, for HD DVDs it errors out right after I click on the "Features" link to get the movie info. Again, sometimes it completes the scan and lets me view the streams and select the output, but it fails 9 out of 10 times.

using the SVN build linked on the first post of your thread.

Hello, I'm using with success the last svn of this program. I have problems only with DTS ES 6.1 tracks ( generally seamless branching from Pixar ); in this case I can't select DTS and I select wav, with sometime problems muxing with TsMuxer. Is it a problem of the gui or maybe of eac3to 3.16?

I have installed arcsoft decoder, nero7 and surcode.

Many thanks in advance to all

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy at work and I recently installed Windows 7 RC on my home machine. When the RTM of Windows 7 is released - which I think will be tomorrow ;) - I'll reinstall VS2K8 and get my project up and running again.

Hello, I'm using with success the last svn of this program. I have problems only with DTS ES 6.1 tracks ( generally seamless branching from Pixar ); in this case I can't select DTS and I select wav, with sometime problems muxing with TsMuxer. Is it a problem of the gui or maybe of eac3to 3.16?

I have installed arcsoft decoder, nero7 and surcode.

Many thanks in advance to all

[Greif]

Updated to 0.6. This version is a very quick update that fixes the stream "extrac as" combo boxes and some of the audio types.

more to come soon.

[QUEENFAN]

Hi,

how can I get ONE EVO (out of a HD-DVD without copy-protection ;-) containing just the audio-stream(s) I want and chapters/subtitles?

Thanks a lot for this tool.

[Greif]

You should be able to oad the single EVO file and extract the streams you want.

[QUEENFAN]

You should be able to oad the single EVO file and extract the streams you want.

Yeah, that's right.

But for encoding with ripbot I need an evo-file. If I extract the evo with hdstreamextractor (HSE) I get ALL audio-streams and subtitles. But I need an EVO-file with only the audio-stream I selected in HSE.
Is that possible?
Or is there any other tool able to create a EVO containing chapters, audio-/video-stream and subtitles I extracted with HSE?

Thanks.

@QUEENFAN

Hi!

Have you looked at "EVOdemux"?

The following is from its history:Change for v0.52

- New feature: Rebuild. Make another .EVO file which contains only the selected streams

Hello, and thanks for creating such a great tool.
A small feature request: can the "-core" and "-down16" options be integrated somehow into the dropdown menus? for example, they could be another option in the "extract as" menu, "DTS-core" and "FLAC 16bit" respectively.

[Greif]

@<><: I'll look into it

@mixanobios: I'm wanting to create option screens for each format so you can set specific options for DTS, FLAC etc. As a workaround you can put those in the +Options for now.

[mixanobios]

Thanks for your answer, i am already doing that :)
I would like to know if it is possible (that is if eac3to allows it) to create a DTS core and a FLAC of a TRUEHD track at the same time(that would be a big timesaver as the 40+GB of the bluray would only be read once), and if not, if hdbrstreamextractor can batch that into two jobs.
Finally another small request would be a confirmation dialog before overwriting files.

I know for sure that Arcsoft will only decode one track at a time. Not sure if you're using it though.

[mixanobios]

no, i dont use arcsoft as it is not free. My intention is to remux my blurays into mkv's with the DTS-core audio, and have a flac with the lossless track in the same folder in case i get a better audio system in the future.

I am trying to convert an ac3 into stereo wav file. I specified my input file, then click Feature to retrieve the ac3 stream info. The info was shown ok. Then I click Extract, a pop-up said "Retrieve streams prior to enqueueing job." Click OK, nothing happened. What shall I do to proceed?

[Greif]

you need to select the stream you want to extract and choose the format you want to extract it as.

[Andy o]

Hi, I've been using your program for a while, and thanks by the way. One thing I've noticed since 0.6 is that TrueHD streams don't show thd anymore in the "'extract as" column. Is this known? I've searched for it in the thread but nothing came up. 0.5 doesn't work well, and the older version (not sure of build, but older than 0.5) seems to work fine in this regard.

[Greif]

Thanks, that sounds like a quick fix. I'll see about releasing an update.

[Andy o]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[Mark_A_W]

Greif, it would be nice if you could make streams with a single output type (chapter-> TXT, or Subs->SUP for example), to default to that type.

Thanks

The MeGUI application already does this.

[mikelebron]

Found another bug... When TrueHD does not show up on the audio pull down when its a TrueHD track. In otherwords I cant create a MKV keeping the TrueHD audio track. This is important as now you can bitstream TrueHD, etc. in a MKV using the new ffdshow beta with a ATI 5xxx card. M2TS doesnt have chapter support which is what I want and M2TS is about 10% larger then the same movie in MKV.

[saint-francis]

Greetings Greif. Any chance you could take a look at this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1360228#post1360228)issue?
Thanks.

[Greif]

Long standing issue with the HD stream extractor. When selecting an output format you need to click on the box 3 times to get a drop down. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1360244#post1360244)Do you experience that with the 0.6 version? I do remember there was an issue previously with having to click twice on the drop-down in order for it to appear, but I thought that issue was resolved.

I was just using the software today at lunch, and I do not recall having that problem. I'll double-check both source trees tonight.

Hi Greif,
it is working in version 0.6, but not in the version integrated into MeGUI. How did you fix it? Could you tell the changes to Zathor who is currently aware of MeGUI development? Or fix it in MeGUI yourself?
That would be very nice, I thank you in advance,
Raist

[Greif]

I believe the fix was simply setting the EditMode property of the Stream DataGridView: this.StreamDataGridView.EditMode = System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnEnter;

[stax76]

I wonder why so many people use Google Code instead of SourceForge, it seem to be very poor compared to SourceForge, code download requires using the command shell which is very bothersome for many win users.

I'm getting a null reference crash opening a MakeMKV created file. If I had the code or a debug version I would tell you filename and line number.

[Kurtnoise]

code download requires using the command shell which is very bothersome for many win users.
Obviously, you don't know what TortoiseSVN is...:rolleyes:


btw, mkv support in eac3to is not yet finished...so, it's not the appropriate tool for that. Use mkvextract instead...

[stax76]

Obviously, you don't know what TortoiseSVN is

You are right doesn't matter if you use a console or GUI client. Problem was using a client is harder than a web download when you don't checkout different projects often. StaxRip is at SourceForge and I completely avoid using the command shell as it's hard for me to remember or type commands, guess what I use? TortoiseSVN, well I used that but it's stupid to have explorer cluttered up with menu items in completely irrelevant locations, when you commit code only once a month then TortoiseSVN is the worst possible solution. I'm using RapidSVN now but I don't have time to setup a application be it GUI or console to checkout code. I have the console client and it's not rocket science to paste the command line for a checkout, hardest part is probably to find where I have the application, it's not available globally, maybe that would be a good idea but still I'm expecting a web download be it code or debug version including program debug database (*.pdb file including source code information), at codeplex and SourceForge code web download is available. Google code might be fast and lightweight but lacks important features.

btw, mkv support in eac3to is not yet finished...so, it's not the appropriate tool for that. Use mkvextract instead...

Thanks, that's important to know for what I want to achieve.

Hi all,
HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor last Version crashes und Windows 7 while he is working fine on XP.
Did someone experince the same? Exists a workaround?

Thank's and regards
ghr

[Greif]

I am running Windows 7 64-bit and it works fine for me. Can you provide a log or screen shot?

Thanks.

[stax76]

Does the application work directly on AnyDVD decrypted discs or do I have to rip the entire disc to the hard drive first? I'm asking because I was trying to run it on same PAL X Files disc and after analyzing it crashes. It's a native crash. I'm coding .NET since 1.0 so I have a raw idea why the CLR error handling fails, there must be a bug in your threading code, you must catch the exception in the worker thread and forward it to the main thread.

As a side note I think usability wise there is room for improvement, the GUI is constructed from a programmers view in a way a disc is structured. I would rather present different stream types like subtitles in a dedicated list control like a ListView with check boxes enabled (ListBox and CheckedListBox don't support visual themes) or with a TreeView with dedicated nodes for different stream types. Right now a lot scrolling is needed if there are many languages which is common in germany and many other countries. Typically users only choose certain languages so the application could remember these languages and preselect them the next time.

[stax76]

I noticed a very high CPU load.

[Greif]

I am going to profile the code to see where the bottlenecks are. I'll double-check the error-handling as well.

[stax76]

Thanks (meanwhile a eac3to GUI was added to StaxRip)

[Andy o]

Hi Greif, if you're still around is there any news on this?

One thing I've noticed since 0.6 is that TrueHD streams don't show thd anymore in the "'extract as" column. Is this known? I've searched for it in the thread but nothing came up. 0.5 doesn't work well, and the older version (not sure of build, but older than 0.5) seems to work fine in this regard.

[Greif]

yeah, I hope to have an update out in a week or so. I'll look into the above issue.

[Greif]

Here are the planned changes I have for the next version:
- migrate to .NET 4.0 Client Profile (ETA for release is April 12th)
- reduce CPU utilization for GUI
- fix TrueHD stream extracts
- set default selection for single-option extraction types
- add option to review/modify command-line prior to execution (Ctrl+click Extract button)
- some slight GUI changes

[deado]

Thanks so much for this GUI, I've really enjoyed using it, very user friendly, can't wait for the new update :)

[Greif]

Yeah, the new update will reduce the CPU utilization quite a bit. I've finally gotten around to running the code through a profiler. I should have the .NET 2.0 release out this weekend.

However, after that release, I will move to .NET 4.0 next week.

[stax76]

A profiler for reading a string from STDOUT to display a status message???

Why 4.0 instead 3.5 which is included by Win 7, 4.0 don't has great improvement over 3.5.

[Greif]

Surprisingly enough yeah. ;) I wasn't sure why the GUI was taking so much CPU resources - it was obvious once the profiler showed it to me.

Why 4.0? I want to try looking into MKV muxing and might attempt to do things in parallel. And I just want to use the newest version of the .NET Framework. I've been using Visual Studio 2010 RC recently and will upgrade on Monday to the RTM version.

[Greif]

Uploaded version 0.7. This is probably the final .NET 2.0 release.

[Andy o]

thanks a lot greif

[dbone1026]

I just downloaded version 0.7. To confirm, the TrueHD bug hasn't be corrected yet (testing on a TrueHD Blu Ray disc and don't get the option for TrueHD).

[Greif]

ok thanks for letting me know. I will look into it.

[dbone1026]

ok thanks for letting me know. I will look into it.

I just did another test, if I am using a Blu Ray disc as the source then HdBr does not give me the option to extract the TrueHD audio track as TrueHD. However, if I use HdBr with a TrueHD mkv as the source then HdBr does give me the option to extract as TrueHD. Hope this helps.

[Greif]

Is it possible to give me the log output from eac3to? First show me the feature listing and then the specific stream information.

[Greif]

I really don't see it as just another .NET extension. It's an evolution of the .NET Framework - you are going to need it at some point anyway.

That said, I'm looking to try to do some cool stuff both with the functionality (parallel tasks) and look-and-feel (WPF) of the tool. Using the latest version of the .NET framework ensures that all of the latest and greatest features of .NET are available to me.

It's ok, you can call me a selfish developer ;)

Also, how about an option just to pull out the forced subs as in IDX/SUB file, as well as an option to create multiple "Extract As" for audio (i.e. lets say I wanted to extract the original DTS(MA) audio track as well as a secondary AC3 track for compatibility issues with some players I have).

yeah, the multiple extract options sounds good. I need to figure out how to best fit it in.

Hi Grief,

The strangest thing happened.

I’ve been happy using hdbrstreamextractor successfully for a while now. It's a great program. All of the sudden, on two different Windows 7 computers, with two different bluray discs, I’m getting the identical results (shown below).

Problem is, neither of the computers are providing me with streams in the lower part of your program window.

What could be going wrong? Could a Windows update have changed anything?

I’m not aware of anything I’ve done to either computer to produce these results.

One day the program works great and the next day it stops.

I’m anxious to get back to using your software.

Thanks in advance for your help.

To get "untouched" audio from DTS Master Audio and LPCM, which option should I select ? RAW ? I tried that but when I try to mux everything together MKVMerge does not accept RAW file.

[Greif]

@joelha: are you still experiencing issues? If you are, then try running the following in a command-window and show me the output:
eac3to.exe "E:\BDMV\STREAM" 1)

@ajamils: not really sure about that one, I seldom use any other format besides AAC. the folks over in the eac3to should probably be able to assist

[tebasuna51]

To get "untouched" audio from DTS Master Audio and LPCM, which option should I select ? RAW ? I tried that but when I try to mux everything together MKVMerge does not accept RAW file.
To extract DTS-MA with eac3to you can use .DTSHD extension, without -core parameter.
To extract LPCM with eac3to to mux after with MkvMerge you need use .WAV. To mux after with tsMuxeR use .W64

Hi Greif

The window of HdBrStreamExtractor isn't resizeable. Can you be so kind and tell me why?

Hi -

I'm new to using the Stream Extractor. I'm trying to do Toy Story 3, that I've ripped to the hard drive. I have selected Feature #2, and chapters, video, and the 7.1 (as DTSHD) and 5.1 (as DTS) soundtracks, in addition to the subtitles. The program appears to work - while it is running, I see .dtshd, .dts, .sup. -Log.txt, and chapter.txt files that grow while the program is running. When it is complete, though, all I have is the chapter.txt file. I don't see any errors in the progress box.

Any suggestions as to what could be going wrong?

edit: a-ha! now I noticed this in the log: "Aborted at file position 29334939648. <ERROR>"

On Iron Man 2 Region B Blu-Ray, it continuously produces a "Listindex out of bounds" messagebox, making it unusable.

How to detect the subtitle stream "ghost"?

The problem I found with two Blu-ray: "Van Helsing" and "The Mummy"
In the specific case of the movie "The Mummy"with any Player Software (Cyberlink or Arcsoft) automatically selects the forced subtitle stream (stream n.66)

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/4107/screenshot001dy.png (http://img268.imageshack.us/i/screenshot001dy.png/)



With Stream Extractor was not able to detect the stream in question.
I tried to extract all the streams, but have not found that to n.66

Thanks

[dpstjp]

I wondered if anyone could help me.

I am using HDBRStreamextractor with two Windows 7 machines. It works well, other than a series of error messages which pop up as the streams are being detected in a particular feature.

The error message reads:

"The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:

System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.

To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event."

I then have to hit the "OK" button in the error box to get rid of the box. Then another error box saying the same thing pops up.

I have to remove probably 40-50 of these pop up boxes each time I load the streams. Whilst I am doing this I can see in the background that the drop boxes that select TXT for chapters, and MKV/VC1 for Video blank out, then reappear with the right selection. The Audio drop boxes are always blank until I finally get past the error messages and get a chance to select the streams.

When these have finally cleared I am able to proceed. I suspect this is a problem with Windows 7, but any thoughts on how to remove these warnings would be appreciated. Many thanks.

[Greif]

I would need the logs for both feature and stream listing from each3to.

Type the following to get the feature listing:eac3to.exe [drive]

Type the following to get the stream listing:eac3to.exe [drive] [feature number]

Give me the results from both of those and I should be able to debug it for you.

Are there any graphic-artists/designers out there willing to create an icon for this app?

I'm thinking it should be relatively straight forward with a mix of the following themes:
- data/stream extraction
- Transcoding
- HD-DVD & Blu-Ray


I've been "borrowing" the MeGUI icon ever since I started this front-end. It's about time to get my own.

:thanks:

Any chance of adding a queue, ala Handbrake?

My issue is that I normally rip TV seasons. So I will have 4-6 episodes on a disc. I can only extract streams from one episode at a time, so every 10-15 minutes I need to return to the PC. It would be great if I could "Add To Queue" each mpls with my desired settings. Then click a button to process my queue and have it process all 4-6 episodes as configured.

[MaistroX]

Hi!

First of all great tool! :)

Have a few suggestions that I wonder if you could add for next version.
1. When u extract say a sound track it comes of as ex: 1_8_audio.ac3 (thats a Swedish track), cant u add so it will auto write when extracted so it look something like ex: "1_8_Swedish_AC3_5.1ch_audio.ac3" insted ?
2. Same goes for all the other extract:able chooices like subtitle now gets ex: 1_17_subtitle.sup , but better to get it direct to ex: 1_17_Swedish_subtitle.sup , add IF forced say ex: 1_17_Swedish_Forced_subtitle.sup !

Can u please inmplement that in your tool, as it´s now we have to manually find and add all the diffrent languages and so on by hand !?

Thx in advance MaistroX!

i was using HD-DVD/BLURAY STREAM EXTRACTOR V 0.8.3771 and extracted slovenian subs from source BLURAY ITA blabla....but it didn't extracted those opening subs, why? it did the rest, weird

found out that the intro is

while whole movie is

00800.m2ts 40GB

any way to join this 2, so i can normally extract all subs?

I noticed that in Windows 7 64-bit
The extraction of the video stream can be made ​​for the H264 codec, AVC, etc. .. but not in the MKV format.

Hi I have been using this tool for about 2 years now without any probs now. when I insert a Blu Ray AnyDVD HD reads the disc but HD stream extractor doesn't show the streams. Or sometimes the streams shoe and when you click extract it instantly shows extraction complete without any extraction.

[JoeH]

Thanks for this amazing tool. I use it all the time.

I'm not aware of a free tool like this for DVD structures, especially with the feature to both demux and convert to WAVS at the same time. Does anyone know of one? If not, I would like to suggest adding DVD structure support to this tool. Thanks.

[sadsack]

good tool, except I get some handling errors, and TV series dvds dont show episodes in order.
Is there a way to turn off (or change) the "alert" sound when processing is finished?

[tebasuna51]

- Yeah, eac3to sort .mpls by duration. Is not a GUI problem.

- You can delete or replace the error.wav/success.wav in eac3to folder.

[sadsack]

thanks! I didnt know how to run eac3to so I didnt think the error/success waves would be right there.

The specific error window I frequently get (with discs from a TVseries) is after selecting a video in the upper panel (Features section): something about an index range which should be non-negative numbers, and the current file it out of range, with option to Quit/Continue. I hit "Continue" a few times and the streams load in the lower panel.

[tebasuna51]

That seems a GUI problem and can't help you.

[Lincoln Burrows]

I have posted (and now deleted) this question in the eac3to thread:

Guys,
I have here with me a Blu-ray with:

English: LPCM 5.1 (48kHz, 16-bit)

What is the command to convert a LPCM audio track (I used TSMuxer to demux the track, and it was saved into a WAV file) into FLAC? I was instructed to do that because the LPCM track (saved into a MKV file by MakeMKV) is not recognized by any player. I was told by converting the WAV to FLAC, it would stay the same, and it will be a lossless conversion.

Can you help me on this? I just need to know the command line.

(P.S. I tried using MKVExtractGUI2 to extract the LPCM track from the MKV file but I failed. I had to use TSMuxer to extract from the original m2ts file (from the Blu-ray)).Is your program doing what I asked? I selected FLAC to save the LPCM track. Will this be a lossless conversion?

Thanks!

P.S. WAV file has 1,39 GB and FLAC, 390 MB. Is this normal?

http://i.imgur.com/QUJb0.png http://i.imgur.com/4wwMz.png

P.S.2: I need to restart after finishing one m2ts. If I select another, the program crashes. I hope you can fix that!

[kypec]

FLAC is lossless so you really shouldn't worry about using it. Compression ratio for 1.39GiB --> 391MiB is nothing unusual, given the source audio is "simple enough" i.e. easily compressible, with lots of silence for instance.

[THX-UltraII]

Can this tool 'extract' a movie from a 3D .iso without re-encoding? (so a 1:1 copy of the 3D movie)?

Hi Greif!

is there some new proggress and/or news? :)

[Greif]

To be honest, I haven't had much time to work on this. The GUI does what I built it to do, so there's not a lot of motivation to go in there... Not to say that I won't.

December is a slow month where I have more free-time to dedicate to things like this, so I imageine I can take a look at it.

I can start with addressing any bugs identified so far, as well as some vey small enhancements like using modifying the default filenames that are output.

I always wanted to change the ways Options are specified - making them more user-friendly by presenting stream-specfic options that the user can pick/select/modify values. I think that would probably be the biggest thing I can think of.

I also wanted to add the ability to export SUBS & SRT in addition to SUP subtitles. SRT would be great, but it is kind of a headache with all the OCR stuff that is required but SUBS not so much as it's basically just image and file format manipulation and I can leverage something like BDSup2Sub++ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=165416).

So that's basically it. Bug fixes, small enhancments, option screen and SUB subtitles. That's currently on my radar.

:thanks:

[Sharc]

Bug fixes, small enhancments, option screen and SUB subtitles. That's currently on my radar.

Excellent! Thanks.

[JoeH]

Thanks Greif. One improvement that would be nice, and should (hopefully) be simple to code, would be the ability to open up a DVD folder. Currently your program can already correctly handle DVDs if one manually selects multiple VOB files. Of course, if it's too much work not a problem, will just keep selecting files. :)

[Greif]

I'll look into opening up DVD folders. I have never used the tool for DVDs so I'll have to give it a try :)

I'll have a small update out probably this weekend with a few tweaks.

[MaistroX]

Hi Greif!

As I see you working on your tool again, I ask you once again... ;)
Can you add so extracted files gets languages lables in exrtaktion?
So I dont have to manually label ex: nr.2 sub to english afterwards.

Please!!!!! :)

A bug I have found with the newer eac3to is that I'm unable to demux/transcode more than 1 DTS stream to AC3 with ArcSoft DTS decoder at once.

Anybody?

[raimerik]

Hi!

And maybe you could address the bug that HBSE doesn't show the streams on all systems.

It's registered at the google code bug/issues list since june.

Obviously it's not a problem on all systems.

But my 32bit XPpro with up2date NET frameworks, HBSE and EAC3TO won't show any streams in the lower window.

And if you have some spare time, make it launch multiple eac3to for every audio track to process ;)

[Kurtnoise]

And if you have some spare time, make it launch multiple eac3to for every audio track to process ;)
doesn't make sense...

[Rumbah]

doesn't make sense...

Well, if you do some audio adjustments (speedup, downmix, normalize) you get limited by the single threaded processing for one audio file.

[Kurtnoise]

You can easily apply different options to different streams using one command line...I don't get your point.

[Rumbah]

I just tried it and you're right, eac3to starts all jobs at once. But I remember it behaving differently ;)

[tormento]

Please.. try to decode two DTS streams using ArcSoft DTS Decoder at once and notice the error. The older versione of eac3to worked perfectly.

[tebasuna51]

The older versione of eac3to worked perfectly.

Not always, many times I get two outputs with silence or noise.

[JimmyBarnes]

Trying this with eac3to 3.27 (latest).

HdBrStreamExtractor 0.8 does not have an option to extract audio as DTSMA, only as DTS or DTSHD.

What difference will it make if I extract the DTSMA stream as DTS, will I lose anything?

Or can someone suggest an eac3to GUI which allows one to extract only selected streams, and can extract DTSMA and SUP?

Or better still, can one run eac3to and get it to demux only selected streams, rather than the default 1st video stream and ALL audio and subtitle streams?

TIA

[tebasuna51]

Does not matter if you select DTS or DTSHD, the output is always DTS-MasterAudio (or DTS-HighResolution if that is the source, both with extra info over the standard DTS).
The extension don't make any difference.
If you want the standard DTS you need add the parameter -core at '+ Options' column.

BTW, you can try my GUI UsEac3to (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145574), work the same than HdBrStreamExtractor for your requests, but allow audio only inputs and add some Auxiliary Tools.

[JimmyBarnes]

Or better still, can one run eac3to and get it to demux only selected streams, rather than the default 1st video stream and ALL audio and subtitle streams?

I found that I could use:

eac3to bdmv\stream 1)

to list streams by number

then

eac3to bdmv\stream 3: English.dtsma 11: English.sup

to just extract the desired English streams

[lansing]

If this thread is still alive, can you add a warning popup when extracting PCM to WAV that is over 4G, and advice the user to use W64 instead of WAV? Today I spent 5 minutes extracting a 2 hour pcm to wav, just to find out that only the first 14 minutes could be play. And I had to dig through the documentation to find out why.

[Ghitulescu]

It also happens nothing when loading playlists. The characteristics of the streams seem to be known to it, though :)
http://i59.tinypic.com/2j670nm.png
Additionally the duration seems to be doubled (51min for a 25min feature).
If I load however the M2TS file directly, it is able to link it with the MPLS file, to display correctly the duration and to list the streams. After of course several dozen messages like
http://i60.tinypic.com/2wd9hz8.png

The window still cannot be resized, although a resize corner exists :) .

And the last issue, is that the existing subtitles are around 1/4th of what tsMuxeRGUI does (eg some 4k instead of 14k). Both variants load perfectly in BDsup2sub, but it seems that the smaller subtitles are also small in size. It may be a tsMuxeR issue, though.

PS: a detailed guide would be welcomed. :)

[slobro]

Just discovered this thread, this GUI is great!
This thread doesn't seem very active anymore but I might as give it a shot in case anyone sees this

I wanted to ask a question about extracting "TrueHD/AC3" files..
When extracting a TrueHD/AC3 file, and you're extracting it as a FLAC file, does the program convert the lossless 'TrueHD' part to FLAC, or the AC3 part?

Like this:

http://i.imgur.com/vIIdBMl.png

I've noticed on some blu-rays Extractor doesn't show all the valid playlists. For instance Spaceballs main valid playlist is 00013.mpls but only 00133.mpls shows. I've tried going in by file and choosing 00013.mpls manually but it doesn't retrieve the streams. So far the extracts I've done work but is there a hidden problem? Can anyone explain why this happens? Does it matter?

So I suppose I have two *.mkv files.
Video1.mkv and Video2.mkv. Now I load Video1.mkv into HdBrStreamExtractor and extract the soundtrack. A file 1_2_audio.ac3 is created.
Then I load the file Video2.mkv and extract synonymous with her the soundtrack.
A file 1_2_audio.ac3 is also created and the audio track of the first file Video1.mkv is overwritten.
So I need to rename the file 1_2_audio.ac3 after extracting the video1.mkv before I continue with the next file.
If HdBrStreamExtractor rename the files to the schema "FileName_1_2_audio.ac3" (Video1_1_2_audio.ac3), that can not happen.

Because the last release of HdBrStreamExtractor is from Apr 30, 2010

You can use MeGUI -> Tools -> HD Streams Extractor
same initial code than HdBrStreamExtractor but actualized.

Or also you can use other eac3to GUI: UsEac3to

I had the hope, someone is still working on it.
The program is otherwise good, uncomplicated and small.

Very good. This GUI stopped working with Windows 10 CU, at least for me. Thanks for the hint.

Just for the record, there's been an update since then. About 12 posts up (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1719399#post1719399).
I also asked Baldrick to add it to the VideoHelp software section, so it wouldn't vanish.

Mind you I don't know how well it works or if it's bug free etc as I normally use the version built into MeGUI myself.

Hello,
I looked at MeGUI and the other GUI for eac3to.
But HdBrStreamExtractor is best for my needs.
Without much effort HdBrStreamExtractor shows me the streams of the respective file, which I can easily select and extract in the format I want.

MeGUI and co. can do just that and many other things. But I do not need that. These GUI's have far too many options for what I need.

I'm fine if HdBrStreamExtractor would handle the file names meaningfully. "Select Input Folder" is with HdBrStreamExtractor e.g. not possible.

Is this the same extractor that is bundled with MeGUI? I'm a little confused because they look so similar.

[tebasuna51]

Yes, but updated in MeGUI.

I use this tool regualrly now to extract audio tracks from my Blu-Ray disks without having to re-rip entire movies. Great stuff! Thanks!

I just tried to extract an AC-3 stream to DTS since there is an option to do that in the file format options for each stream.

It extracted multipel WAV files as it was working which I presume were going to be somehow "muxed" into a DTS file. At the end of the extraction process it buzzed at me, all the WAV files disappeared and the error above was displayed at the end of the log:

"Surcode DTS Encoder doesn't seem to be installed"

Was this something that was supposed to be included in the program package somehow? When I Googled this program it shows me a commercial package for this encoder that is $200. Do you actually need that to create DTS files or is there an open-source version or....

...am I even doing this the best way? I thought that DTS was better quality than AC3. Is that accurate?

Thanks!

DTS>AC3
You can't "add quality" to a lossy format

There is no open-source program to create DTS audio

[manolito]

What about dcaenc?

[nevcairiel]

If you're processing a Blu-ray disc, there is usually never a reason to convert any audio streams - with one exception, some hardware player that can't deal with DTS or something like that.
But short of that, with HD audio just keep the DTS core, or the AC3 substreams from TrueHD, or just the plain DTS/AC3 streams.

Converting any lossy codec to another lossy codec is always going to recuce the quality.

I admit I'm not an expert on this subject. I understood that DTS is better quality than AC3 or AAC. However, in this GUI there is an option to convert to DTS from AC3 in the format drop-down so I don't really know what it was doing there. It simply failed at the end saying I didn't have the DTS encoder program installed.

The physical Blu-Ray says it has AC3 streams on it. I extracted that without issue as AC3. I have noticed though that the file sizes between these formats are obvious.

Not problem, we can explain you some tips, for instance...

I understood that DTS is better quality than AC3 or AAC.

It is not true.
At same bitrate the AAC is better than AC3 and much better than DTS. The DTS is the worse.

Of course a DTS at 1536 Kb/s is better than a AC3 640 Kb/s but a AC3 640 Kb/s is better than a DTS 768 Kb/s

... there is an option to convert to DTS from AC3

It is a useless option, recode always reduce quality (like nevcairiel say) and to try preserve the quality you need more bitrate (more size) than original.

Also DTS is less compatible for players than AC3.

Would you please update the GUI to reflect last eac3to version changes?

The last update code was in MeGUI.
