No kidding...Can you post the log after the first analyze. Its weird that disk only has 2 channel audio. It will not work if that is the case. The only way to make the lossless search work was to not use any 2 channel audio. I guess I could make it fall back to 2 channel if a multi-channel is not found. I've just never seen a disk authored that way.

Yepper that's the problem...That movie only has 2 channel audio...That's a first for me.

You should be able to manually rip it with the command line button if you check the first audio track. But you will still need to remux with mkvmerge gui...Its not really very hard. There is a good guide on how to use it in Jiff Orange's thread. His method is what I used as the basis for the GUI.

Try another disk if you have one.

If the file will play in Windows Media Player then it should play in the preview window.

anyone know a reference that lists the correct stream to choose when ripping?
most of the time it's obvious based upon length which one is the correct stream, but sometimes there's multiples with the same length.
for example UP, the third stream was the correct (full english) one.
and in Public Enemies, there's 2 streams with the same length and i'm just guessing which one is the correct one....

Hi all,

I will be getting a bluray player for my pc at Christmas and will shortly after start ripping my bluray collection.

Have been doing a lot of research trying to figure out the best way to do this and stumbled across this thread.

My htpc will have a video card (ATI 5750) that supports AC-3, AAC, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HDMaster Audio.

I want to make sure I do this right the first time so I don't end having a lot of rework.

My goals are to extract and make a mkv that contains:
- If it exists, both the HD audio track as well as the AC3 or DTS core track.
- Main movie
- forced subtitles

Can Another EAC3to GUI Plus can do all of this? The one thing I couldn't quite tell from reading here is if it is possible to pick and choose one or more audio tracks - is this possible? Do you need to use the command line interface to do this?

Another thing I am confused about is this converting the HD audio to flac. What is the purpose of doing this? Can you just keep the 'native' format? With the video card mentioned above, will I have any issue playing flac?

I am I correct in understanding, that as long as I have all the supporting sofware installed, Another EAC3to GUI Plus is a one stop solution, in that it will read the source files and pull out the requested tracks and create an mkv?

Thanks for helping a newbie.

Thanks,

In your first paragraph, I think we are talking the same thing, but I am not sure I undertand exaclty what you mean when you say, "you can select AC3 or DTS core but not both".

To be clear, I do not want to capture both AC3 and DTS core at the same time. What I want is the HD track, plus one core track (either AC3 or DTS depending on what the bluray contains).

So, is the command line and remux with mkvMerge the way this needs to be done?

If flac works well, is bit perfect and is more compatible, I would be fine with that. Was just wondering about it, is all.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot. I was looking at HD Stream extractor and then came across this program. I like the way you can view the different video streams. But for my needs, at present, it may be that HD extractor is more suited to what I need. Will likely give them both a trial run.

I appreciate the screen shots. Normally I would test this type of stuff on my own, but not only will I be getting the bluray at christmas, I will also be rebuilding my machine, so I don't feel like downloading and configuring everything now.

Do you know if it does forced subtitles 'automagically'?

Thanks again. After re-looking at your screen shots on page 1, picking both the HD and core audio tracks at the command line looks dead simple.

To me, having the forced subs included automatically is more important than having to use a couple of interfaces. So, I think my first try will be this program, command line to extract both HD and core, and then use MKVMerge GUI to remux.

Thanks.

okay gottcha. I will have to look into bdsup2sub then. Is bdsup2sub fairly easy to use? Again, just looking to add forced subtitles.

The person who can get all this down and working in one program - or at least one interface, will be my hero. Smile
