i'm still confused how to get the best audio at low bitrate from my LG OLED to my Q950A soundbar.
The 7.1True HD tracks consume a ton of space. I read that Plex is able to convert 7.1 true hd to 7.1 DD+, but i wonder how. FFMPEG or the thread here ends up having 5.1. The LG can also convert internally AAC 7.1 to DD for ARC but I cant say of it does the same in 7.1 or 5.1 as this dumb soundbar does not tell ya how many channels it receives. Why the heck cant the ffmpeg internal eac3 encoder handle 7.1 DD+ reencode?? Its only 2 channels more. |

If you want surround 3D you can't recode the tracks TrueHD/EAC3 Atmos or DTS:X you must preserve the original tracks.
If you are talking about surround 2D you don't need at all 7.1 channels, is more than enough 5.1 channels to obtain a full 2D surround.

The answer is not far:
Looking for a eac3 7.1 encoder

I'm currently trying to re-encode a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 + Atmos track to DTS-HD MA 7.1 in order to remove the Atmos extensions (it is revisionist in this case and I don't want them in my file). As the DTS-HD MA encoder needs separate channel wav files, I used UsEac3To v1.3.1 to convert the thd to w64 and now want to use ffmpeg to extract the 8 mono tracks.
However I'm confused about the channel layout (for use in the ffmpeg command), as MediaInfo reports different channel layouts on the source .thd and the resulting .w64: .thd is reported as "L R C LFE Ls Rs Lb Rb", while the result w64 is reported as "L R C LFE Lb Rb Ls Rs". Is it correct that UsEac3To changed the channel layout? Can I trust the MediaInfo report for the further steps of my workflow? |

You have two options with UsEac3to:
1) Extract the THD without Atmos metadata (remain 7.1 lossless with less size than the DTS-MA): a) put in COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS the ffmpeg filter: -bsf:a truehd_core -c:a copy b) Clik in 'A/V Recode', 'Add to DEC' in 'Use Command Line Parameters', thd in 'Decode, lossless, WavDts' EDIT: must be 'Replace ENC' instead 'Add to DEC' Run or Enqueue 2) If you still want recode to DTS-MA you can obtain the monowavs directly with eac3to: %_.wavs And eac3to never change the channel layout, MediaInfo can show the internal order of channels and can be different in a encoded file than in wav/w64. Don't worry, the decoder output the correct channel order.

Thanks, that was super helpful! I used the ffmpeg filter which I did not know before.
Option 1a) however somehow led to a 5.1 file instead of 7.1, and also with bigger file size than the 7.1 produced by the other version. Also the log produced the warning "Only mono and stereo are supported at the moment.", which does not really make sense considering the output was 5.1. But well, one way that works is enough for me |

My fault: to copy instead recode we need 'Replace ENC' with CLP In the image the complete steps to do the procedure. The output is Quote:
Code:
60.654.740 00001.m2ts_2eng.thd 45.019.306 00001.m2ts_2eng.thd_.thd

I have a quick question. Can you queue up movies using the demux option as I only seem to be able to demux one folder at a time. When you have a lot of movies to demux, clicking on each file you want to demux takes time so just by clicking demux and adding to queue would be alot easier.

Thankyou for your help, works perfect. I have one more question, basically its in regards to save destination. For some reason the demuxed files go to the actual program folder? I've tried same as input and also user defined but no good. Also when i demux a movie with two films on one disc or one of the extras along with the main movie they both go in the same folder and tend to overwrite each other, is there a way to keep seperate?

Remember define the 'User defined' in Settings -> Output folder When it is not defined use the program folder. Quote:
%_Main.* and %_Extra1.* ...

-demux the demuxed files go in the program folder. Do I have to put something like %-demux to get the files to the same folder as the source? Also I didn't know that the demux files can be automatically remuxed with mkvmerge, I only found out whilst trying some of the options. This saves alot of time although theirs a few things I would like to ask? 1) when I picked all tracks including chapters and run with runmkv I noticed its just the video and main audio that are remuxed without commentary, subs, chapters etc 2) is their any settings I can use as I'm not used to mkvmerge command, only the gui 3) I have a few movies with extra black video/padding, coloured bars and extra video which has nothing to do with the movie, do you know how I would trim the video etc to make it right. I've been directed to a program called dgdemux which from what I've seen is a very capable program dealing with video with these problems, although I find it quite limited as theirs no audio conversion and you can't queue up files which isn't good when you have lots of files to demux |

If you use ' % -demux' and have 'User defined' folder selected work fine, but if you have the input folder selected eac3to show: Code:
Input and output file names overlap. <ERROR> For that I say you: ' %_.*', the '*' is equivalent to demux, but with the '_' like sufix to override the overlap of names (you can use anything like sufix). Quote:
Only work for some process: 1) First run eac3to for one/zero video and one/two audios. Any other track is ignored after by mkvmerge. 2) After run mkvmerge with the video extracted (without audio, subs or chapters) or the input file (preserving video, subs and chapters) and the 1/2 audios extracted by eac3to. Quote:
The generic use is demux/convert all the tracks of input files with eac3to, do some auxiliary process (modify video, audio, subs,...) and after use MkvToolNix to obtain the final output. Quote:

Hi,
I'm having trouble adding single m2ts files. I would like something like 0007m2ts+0008m2ts+00012 as the first m2ts in the playlist is just 2 secs of padding causing audio to out of sync. I try to add 1 m2ts and then another but it keeps opening as a new file and doesn't add to the existing m2ts. Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou |
