How to run eac3to

[Drakoliona]

Hi, i have downloaded eac3to and extract it in syswow64, and installed eac3to decoder pack,i have installed ffdshow and i have extract arcsoft DTS decoder in syswow64 With eac3to and click install, i have too haali media splitter, when i use command eac3to -test arcsoft Works fine, in ffdshow i have desactivate DTS, it´s good ? Or i re active DTS in ffdshow ?

[tebasuna51]

..., in ffdshow i have desactivate DTS, it´s good ? Or i re active DTS in ffdshow ?

eac3to don't use ffdshow for nothing.
ffdshow is used for players, you can keep DTS active if your player need it.

Okay Thanks, and if eac3to is installed in syswow64, With arcsoft DTS decoder un same folder, and haali média splitter + eac3to décoder pack it´s good for remux ?

Okay Thanks, and if eac3to is installed in syswow64, With arcsoft DTS decoder un same folder, ...
I can help you about the best location in a 64 bits OS, I'm a 32 bits user. If work for you then is OK.

... it's good for remux?

eac3to isn't a remuxer, is a demuxer and audio recoder.
To remux use MkvMerge, tsMuxeR, ...

[Drakoliona]

I have windows 64bits, i have downloaded eac3to, i extract it on syswow64? because don't work on system32, or in system32 and syswow64?

After, i have eac3to decoder pack.exe, i install it, and i have arcsoft dts decoder pack 1.1.0.8, i install it in syswow64? (same folder of eac3to if is syswow64)

And after i install haali media splitter.exe, and finally ffdshow

In ffdshow i active DTS? or don't needed ? if i have arcsoft dts decoder

And last question, extensions

for extract DTS HD MA extension is .dtshd?
for Dolby Digital is .ac3 ?
Dolby TrueHD is .thd ?
DTS HIGH RESOLUTION is .dtshr?
for vidéos always .mkv ?
And finnaly for pcm is really .pcm ? because i don't know how extract LPCM of pearl harbor, extension .pcm in mkvmerge is open on mpeg-4 part 10..

And it's all? or i need install others programs/decoders? i demux/remux just BDs with 90% of dts hd ma/dts / thd / ac3..

You will want the Arcsoft decoder if you want to correctly decode any of the lossless or lossy extensions to dts.

The DLL is best kept in the same directory as eac3to if at all possible. Windows Syswow system is enough to make one's head spin.

Put the redundantly nammed dtsdecoderdll.dll and ASAudioHD.ax in the eac3to directory and run

regsvr32 C:\EAC3TO_DIRECTORY\ASAudioHD.ax

followed by

eac3to.exe -test

to see if it worked.


And finnaly for pcm is really .pcm ? because i don't know how extract LPCM of pearl harbor, extension .pcm in mkvmerge is open on mpeg-4 part 10..

You should be able to extract the .pcm correctly to .flac files once and for all with eac3to. If your target player doesn't support flac, you can still convert it to whatever lossless or lossy format you need becuase you have the lossless source. You could try .wav files, but those tend to go haywire with multi channel HD tracks that make the file larger than the dreaded 2GB limit for traditional 32-bit wav files.


And it's all? or i need install others programs/decoders? I demux/remux just BDs with 90% of dts hd ma/dts / thd / ac3..

Get the Arcsoft DTS decoder for blu ray lossless tracks. The ffmpeg build included with eac3to will handle the lossless thd decode correctly.

For the lossy formats the damage has already been done. I find it's best just to pull those tracks untouched. The exact decoded result may vary from player to player. You might want to get the Nero 7 decoder to decode the aac as best you can, and apparently the 1.1.0.0 Arcsoft lib is the best for lossy DTS. However, then, you're stuck either with running it through another encoding process (best with the Nero encoder), or encoding it to flac and significantly enlarging the file.

Given this, once you've Arcsoft hooked up to eac3to, you're golden as far demuxing to disk. Unfortunately, the remuxing and mastering is a frightening and unfamiliar for me.

Put all *.dlls and *.ax files in same folder, and execute as administrator the script file.

[the_weirdo]

You only need ASAudioHD.ax, checkactivate.dll, dtsdecoderdll.dll in eac3to folder, and then run "regsvr32.exe path\to\ASAudioHD.ax". That should be enough, at least in my case. I wouldn't want to mess up my System32/SysWOW64 folders.

EDIT: The checkactivate.dll I've been using is the custom version from here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154070), which doesn't depend on those Mag*.dll

[Drakoliona]

@the_weirdo @Overdrive80 @kevmitch Thank's for your answers, i'm sorry but i don't understand all because i'm French, but i have understand juste a little bit, so i have .ax .dll of arcsoft, i have extract it and copy them in SYSWOW64 (with eac3to), and i click on install, after that i need use regsvr32? or click on install only is good?

PS: I haven't all understand, i copy only eac3to in syswow64? or i copy in system32 + syswow64?

And i use regsvr for all .dll ? or only .ax?

[tebasuna51]

@Drakoliona

Don't worry, the -test (send to me by PM) is OK.
Other questions also solved by PM.

[Drakoliona]

Thank's

[digitaldelboy]

Is there a way I can demux everything, All video tracks, Audio and subtitles. -demux only demuxes the 1st video track and all audio and subtitle tracks.

[LigH]

That will depend on the container format you are trying to demultiplex. There are probably specialist tools for each format which are able to handle multiple video streams (e.g. mkvextract for MKV, MP4Bo for MP4, etc.), whereas eac3to may be a simplified tool which is focused on audio and may assume only one video track per media file (because multiple video tracks are very unusual).

A full MediaInfo analysis is always helpful.

[digitaldelboy]

Thanks for being kind enough to reply, It's actually a 1:1 Bluray so there for were looking at multiple m2ts containers.

[LigH]

Well, if the reason for "multiple video streams" is in fact 3D video, then this will require a specific processing anyway.

It may be suitable to rip the Blu-ray losslessly into one MKV container using MakeMKV and then use MKV tools.

[digitaldelboy]

The bluray is not 3D, I don't think you understand what I'm trying to achieve. Within the BDMV\STREAM folder of a bluray we have multiple .m2ts container's, I'd like to take 00001.m2ts and demux it. Then repeat this with 00002.m2ts and so on.

Change working directory in Command Prompt to the folder contains M2TS files and use this command line:
FOR %M IN (*.m2ts) DO eac3to %M -demux

[digitaldelboy]

Thanks but I'm a little new to eac3to could you show me a screenshot as an example or explain what you mean a little more.

[Drakoliona]

For update my arcsoft dts decoder pack, i can only replace files? or i need delete all .dlls and clean all registry ?

[digitaldelboy]

Anyone willing to help me upderstand FOR %M IN (*.m2ts) DO eac3to %M -demux

[Shevek]

Anyone willing to help me upderstand FOR %M IN (*.m2ts) DO eac3to %M -demux

you need to open a command line window

CD (change directory) to wherever your m2ts files are stored

Then type that command

Just replacing files is enough.

Anyone willing to help me upderstand FOR %M IN (*.m2ts) DO eac3to %M -demux
I was under the impression that you know how to use eac3to and at least some basic knowledge of Command Prompt. How did you use eac3to before?
As I've said, open Command Prompt, change current working directory to the folder which contains m2ts files, for example:
CD /D E:\BDs\SomeBD\BDMV\STREAM
Then run this command line:
FOR %M IN (*.m2ts) DO path\to\eac3to.exe %M -demux
It'll loop through every m2ts files in that folder and run eac3to -demux on them.

[LigH]

But demultiplexing each M2TS file separately is possibly not the recommended action anyway. Blu-ray content is usually (logically) concatenated to a whole "movie" by following a playlist file (*.pls) describing the order of the media file segments to be played as a sequence. Therefore you may usually prefer demultiplexing the sequence, instead of separate segments. This is certainly more useful than concatenating separately demultiplexed segments afterwards, at least for processing one whole movie over its complete playtime.

The better you describe the reasons of your task, the better we may understand if the planned task is sensible at all.

[digitaldelboy]

Thanks but it didn't work, It just scanned through them all like you see below, anyway I'll try and explain in more detail about what I'm trying to do.

Know how there are sometimes extras/special features on blu-ray's these are in the STREAM folder. I want to take the ones that are extras/special features and demux em, I don't care for trailers and other such garbage such as logos. Then use mkvmerge to create .mkv's without the subtitles.

[LigH]

The part "path\to\" has to be substituted by the actual path where this tool is installed; and if it contains a space, then it has to be included in double-quotes.

Do not only copy and paste. Read and understand. RTFM.

Try to discover where your eac3to.exe resides.

[digitaldelboy]

Damn I'm an idiot, I managed to get it working. Also I will be sure to RTFM in future.

[Drakoliona]

Are you sure only replace .ax and .DLLs is good ? Because all people say : Don't good to have "some" decoders

After i re-use command regsvr32 ?

[Boulder]

Use eac3to -test and you'll see which version it uses.

[Drakoliona]

@Boulder I have the version 1.1.0.8, i dont know what is the last version but i download TMT6 Trial for Copy files,

But i don't know if i ONLY REPLACE and use regsvr32 ? Or clean be needed

[Boulder]

Just replace. Eac3to will use the one that is in the same folder as the eac3to executable.

[Drakoliona]

@Boulder Thank's :)

Just one last question, because i'm on Windows 7 64 bits i have extract eac3to in system32 and in SysWOW64, and extract arcsoft dts decoder pack in the SysWOW64 folder, it's good?

[Boulder]

Don't use those folders. You can extract eac3to and the dlls in any folder and run it from there. It's much better to not mess with the system folders.

[Drakoliona]

@Boulder Okay but cmd dońt rencognize eac3to If isńt in system folder

Okay so if i want update i only replace .dll

Regsvr32 is not necessary?

[Boulder]

You need to CD to the directory where eac3to is.

[the_weirdo]

Or add eac3to folder to PATH environment variable, or call eac3to by its full path...

[Drakoliona]

i cd the eac3to folder and for choose the BDMV folder i use what?

I have extract it in desktop but because eac3to is in 32 bits don't work i need copy it in syswow64

[LigH]

Never "install" applications to the system folders! Instead,

add eac3to folder to PATH environment variable

There are thousands of guides all over the web how to do that.

[Overdrive80]

I have never troubles installing dlls in system32 or syswow64, what type of conflicts exist for you??

@drakoliona I´m going to put to you a example of like adding a variable to PATH enviroment variable: (Maybe you must reboot windows)

@echo off
set Path=%Path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\eac3to

rem echo %Path%

rem pause

reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v Path /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d "%Path%" /f


Or you can use in your script too:


@echo off

rem Here you have write your path to folder with dlls inside.
path "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\eac3to"

[73ChargerFan]

Change the PATH this way:
Control Panel -> System
Advanced system settings
on the bottom is a button "Environment Variables"
In the lower box "System variables" you'll find "Path"

Log off then back on, or perhaps a restart.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled topic...

[Drakoliona]

Wait i send one screen

[Drakoliona]

@Overdrive80 @73ChargerFan

Thank's, okay so if i have really understand, PATH Environement want mean when i use an .exe in cmd, it's "searched on all HDD?"

PATH is really necessary? Because i have eac3to in system32 & SysWOW64, Arcsoft DTS Decoder pack ONLY on SysWOW64, for don't have conflict, look my command -test

It's good? Because i haven't use PATH Environment, and i don't know if is necessary? My parameters are good?

http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2614/llx8.jpg


And how update nero in eac3to ? with what files?

[Shevek]

PATH is really necessary? Because i have eac3to in system32 & SysWOW64, Arcsoft DTS Decoder pack ONLY on SysWOW64

This is just a bad, bad, bad idea

YOU SHOULD NOT MANUALLY ADD, REMOVE OR CHANGE ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, UNDER YOUR WINDOWS DIRECTORY (under normal circumstances)

It is called WINDOWS for a reason.

This is why the PATH variable exists - so you can put them somewhere else, add it to PATH and the system will still see them.

Yes, your way works... but that doesn't make it the correct way to do it.

You should put them in a folder such as C:\Applications\eac3to and then add ;C:\Applications\eac3to to the end of your path variable.

[tebasuna51]

And how update nero in eac3to ? with what files?

You only need NeroAacEnc.exe at same folder than eac3to.exe, like the message show you.

[Drakoliona]

@Shevek Okay thank's, i go CLEAN ALL MY PC, i formats it, with the W7 CD, and after how i use the path? i don't understand?

[LigH]

The PATH is an "environment variable". It will already contain several directories as a list, separated with semicola. You can edit the path in the advanced settings of your System in the Control Center.

Let Me Google That For You: "Windows 7 edit path variable"

How to set the path in Windows 7. (http://geekswithblogs.net/renso/archive/2009/10/21/how-to-set-the-windows-path-in-windows-7.aspx)
How To Add/Edit Environment Variables in Windows 7 (http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-addedit-environment-variables-in-windows-7/)
How to set the path and environment variables in Windows (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm)
...

Make sure to keep the previous content. Only add another semicolon, and then the path where you installed eac3to.

[Drakoliona]

I send on screen (it's on test only for know if it's good or not, before formats)

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6844/wicl.png


1 - I go on C: WINDOWS (HDD) and create "Applications" folder, in this folder (Applications) i create an "eac3to" folder (when i formats i extract RAR of eac3to in "eac3to" folder i've create)

2 - I right click computer, and go properties, and VARIABLES ENVIRONMENT

3 - One click on PATH, and click on modify (red cadre)

4 - I go on C: WINDOWS -> Applications -> EAC3TO folder, right click on the bar adress and copy link at text, and i go on path and copy the text with ; (i copy this in path ;C:\Applications\eac3to)

After i reboot, and it's good ? i don't know if after eac3to i use "\" like this ;C:\Applications\eac3to\

[LigH]

Yes, that sounds like it should work...

So you keep unmanaged applications out of the Windows system area, and still make eac3to accessible from anywhere.

You may not even need to reboot. Logging out and back in may be enough, if it doesn't already work immediately with a CMD window opened after saving the changes.

[Drakoliona]

Thank's for help me :)

Create foler in HDD it's not a problem? (My new folder Application in C: WINDOWS)

And for finish, my last question is... decoders^^'

So what i need for decoding in good parameters?

i have

- FFDShow (desactivate DTS because i have Arcsoft DTS Decoder pack)
-Arcsoft DTS Decoder pack (in C:\Applications\eac3to folder (the .dlls are in the same folder of .exe of eac3to)

I have too the eac3to decoder pack.exe i don't know if i install it because i don't want problems with decoder...

And the version TRIAL of TMT6 (15 Days trial of 6.0.1.123) are good for copy .dlls? or i need use a full version ?

if i don't install eac3to decoder pack .exe what i need for remux blu ray correctly ?

Thank's

[Groucho2004]

This thread is really getting polluted with stuff that should be in some computer noob section.

[LigH]

Creating a directory C:\Applications should not be an issue — if it does not yet exist as the default applications directory, being managed by Windows' UAC.

Because I have installed MeGUI, which uses eac3to as tool, I prefer to use "C:\Program files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to" (or your local equivalent) as its directory.

TMT 6 DLLs are not supported by eac3to, IIRC; the support was restricted to versions 2 or 3, I believe. Don't rely on me here, though. I don't care too much about HD audio, I don't have an audiophile home cinema in by basement.

[Drakoliona]

i have install TMT6 and copy the .dll and my checkactivate.dll of my 1.1.0.8 pack and eac3to -test said : Arcsoft DTS Decoder 1.1.0.9 works fine

the best is i reinstall 1.1.0.8 ? or i can use 1.1.0.9 without decoding problems ?

i have 2 magcore.dll in installation folder TMT6 i use the magcore in codec folder? or the other in tmt6 root folder ?

(C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 6)


And for video decoders i use FFDShow + Haali Media Splitter and it's good ? or TMT6 video decoders

[the_weirdo]

And for video decoders i use FFDShow + Haali Media Splitter and it's good ? or TMT6 video decoders

eac3to doesn't use video decoders. If you intend to use video decoders for other purposes then you should ask in appropriate thread.

[kypec]

This thread is really getting polluted with stuff that should be in some computer noob section.

I second that. :angry: Could any moderator be so kind and move all previous posts about "how to run eac3to" into separate thread? :thanks:

[tebasuna51]

Posts moved.

[Drakoliona]

i have a new pc with an ssd, and my movies on a second HDD, i can run eac3to in SSD (system) to Full BDs on 2nd HDD ? or i need put Full BD in ssd ?

[LigH]

Of course you can. There is no reason why it should not be possible. This is recommended anyway, to preserve your valuable SSD.

[Drakoliona]

Oh yeah but i ask myself because it´s not on the same HDD ^^ thanks, it´s a WD Green 2to it´s good?

[LigH]

Windows and programs should not be on the same disk as the data to be processed, to avoid data corruption destroying both programs and data, in case of an accident.

[Drakoliona]

My downloads (Mozilla..) are in the OS Partition (on my other PC) it's not a problem ? because i have some files downloaded (with Mozilla..) in my "Downloads" folder, and i replace and rename it in the desktop :/

So i can rip my DVDs/BDs with AnyDVD in OS Partition, and extract (rip) to my 2nd partition ?

[Overdrive80]

As LigH had said: Windows and programs should not be on the same disk as the data to be processed, to avoid data corruption destroying both programs and data, in case of an accident.

If you have a disk failure, no matter what you have your information on another partition, you will lose your data. Is necesary use other Disk (physical).

[LigH]

In other words, having Windows and programs on the SSD (one device), and having the video on a HDD (another device), is recommendable.

Due to the long-lasting reading and writing access during the video processing, it is not recommendable to do that on an SSD; it should be spared from frequent writing access to avoid an early loss of memory cells.

[Drakoliona]

Okay thank you :)

But i want mean, If i download Flacs on music me for exemple.. (I download with another PC without SSD.

It´s not a problem If i download on system partition?

And for listen music it´s not a problèm? Or if i download and listen on system data be corrupted?

And extract DVDs/BDs to my 2nd HDD is a good idea? No problème for data ? I want 1:1 copy^^

[Guest]

@Drakoliona

This line of questioning is off topic for this thread. Please create a new thread for this discussion. Also, discussion of downloaded music may run afoul of rule 6 so keep that in mind if you decide to start a new thread.

[Drakoliona]

If i use MPC-HC x32 i need use ffdshow x32 ? And for EAC too?

[LigH]

Uuuhm, more or less ... yes. 32-bit applications need 32-bit libraries.

But MPC-HC doesn't need ffdshow. It comes with an own copy of the much further developed LAV filters; ffdshow is now partially obsolete (except for its VfW codec support).

Furthermore, "EAC" = "Exact Audio Copy" (a pedantic Audio CD grabber). No need to abbreviate eac3to even more.

[Drakoliona]

Okay, so if in ImgBurn, when i open .cue i've this message :

http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/4299/v94y.png

i have installed madFlac for this, but if i uninstall madFlac i have this message, i have FFDShow x64, it's for that? if i install FFDShow x32, ImgBurn use FFDShow x32 and i haven't this message after?

[Overdrive80]

Are you trying install Mega K-Lite Codec Pack??

[Drakoliona]

No, i have only use FFDShow & eac3to decoder pack.exe^^ + madFlac

Have you eac3to decoder pack?

[Drakoliona]

I have extract AC3 with MKVCleaver (i don't know if this program is good) ? i want synchro with an movie how i can ? i have audio of movie but another langage, i want convert in WAV for open with Sony Vegas but eac3to convert to wav with 6mbps..

[LigH]

MKVcleaver belongs to the current GUIs for mkvextract recommended by the mkvtoolnix installer.

Depending on your Sony Vegas license details, it should have an AC3 decoder as well, so you probably don't have to decode it (and possibly even an AC3 encoder, based on Sonic Foundry SoftEncode).

But if you need to decode, and can't handle a multi-channel WAV, try to decode it to *.wavs – this way, eac3to will create (up to) six mono WAV files, each for one channel.

[Drakoliona]

If i change .ac3 extension with rename .wav this modify quality/file? or it's good?

[LigH]

If you decode to WAV, then you will lose some quality while re-encoding to a new AC3.

You will always lose some quality while encoding to any lossy format.

If you are able to recognize the loss, is another matter.

[Guest]

If i change .ac3 extension with rename .wav this modify quality/file? or it's good? Just changing the extension does nothing to the file. Don't think you can convert AC3 to WAV just by changing the filename!

[Drakoliona]

I can't find a tutorial for Remux 3D Movies (i think left/right eye? but i don't know how), can you explain me ?

[Drakoliona]

Thank's, and for demux PCM & LPCM, when i use eac3to what extension i need use? because .wav i have only 55 mn of sound and .pcm can't add to mkvmergeGUI

[LigH]

Does this WAV file exceed 4 GB? The Microsoft WAV header doesn't support that, chunks have only 32 bit size values.

There are alternatives:

a) There is a W64 format with bigger chunk sizes, but not all tools support that.

b) There is the extension .wavs which makes eac3to write one mono WAV file per audio channel (e.g. 6 WAVs if it was a 6 channel audio), but just as well, not all tools know how to handle them as a unity.

[Drakoliona]

Hello, i have one Full BluRay with a video in 1080i

Like this : MPEG-4 AVC Video XXXXX kbps 1080i / 25 fps / 16:9 / High Profile 4.1


For demux i use command like 1080P ? Like this : eac3to 1) 2: xxx.mkv ????? Thank's

[LigH]

Why should there be any different handling of audio streams, whether the video stream is encoded with or without interlacing? Video and audio can be separated by demultiplexing without the need to handle interlaced and progressive video differently because the container (here: M2TS) is always the same.

And why MKV? A Blu-ray movie is mainly a sequence of M2TS segments ordered by a playlist file.
