Okay, Thanks. By command line button to turn off the "Delete work files after MKVMerge", you just mean to make sure the check box on the options screen is NOT checked off?

One other question/confirmation - If at the command prompt I select the HD and core tracks, are both being decoded to flac or just the HD track?

In reading a tutorial at avsforum, there was a note about adding delays:

"NOTE: With new versions of eac3to (v2.2 onwards) their is no need to apply a delay in mkvmerge with tracks that are DECODED by eac3to i.e. TrueHD to flac, but you still require the delay on tracks that are just demuxed i.e. AC3 to AC3."

I am just wondering if I need to be concerned with inputting delays.

I really appreciate all the help. I know for certain this is going to make things much easier on me my first time trying this out.

Only the HD audio tracks will be extracted as FLAC. The core tracks will remain DD or DTS. I personally have never seen a need for delays. If you need them you add them in the command line window by editing the text manually.

Not on my machine. The preview window consistently crashes my computer.

Not a big problem as I am used to doing it the long way anyway.

I just got around to trying it...Don't use it...I ripped Angels and Demons....I got a French sound track...I went back and manually ripped it and got the the same thing. Downgraded to the 3/29/08 release it worked fine. I didn't have a copy of the 12/09/2009 version to try.

No just program freeze.

Here is what it says when I try to play from DejaVu...

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800040241

But when I click on that same file in a File Explorer window it plays fine in Media Player.

It is from a network drive if that has anything to do with it.

Don't waste a lot of time looking into just curious.

That's the error you get most of the time when something is wrong with decryption. When you ripped it to the network drive was did you remove all encryption and were they ripped using AnyDVD?

Hi MikeEby,

I just had to sign up to this forum and THANK YOU for your wonderful application.

I have been searching everywhere for a solution to "Forced Subtitles" and your application is what I was looking for as it works perfectly on my Godfather collection, Rendition, Angels & Demons and District 9 movies.

I was especially impressed with the way it dealt with Angels & Demons because this Blu-ray disk has 32 Stream Files. After analyzing the the stream folder, it worked out the sequence automatically. It was just a matter of selecting the "Subtitle Position Inside:" 2.35, adding the batch and "Run All". The DTS core was extracted and the forced subtitles automatically added. Brilliant.

The only criticism I can see is the apparent bias towards 2 channel FLAC. I am only interested in surround sound AC3 and DTS for my home theater amplifier.

THANK YOU.

No...takes maybe 1 to 1.5 hours on my PC total - it's slower with subtitles.


I have a Quad Q6600 processor at 3.0gz.


Mike, had another subtitle failure last night - when I play the file (using directvobsub filter), there are no subtitles when using your gui. I'm not sure if it's the move to 2.40 feature, or just subs in general.


When I manually merge the idx (and it adds the sub file) using mkvmerge, then it all works on playback.

Mark, what movie?...Also if you could post the eac3to log that would be great, the version you have saves all logs in "c:\program files\acd\anothereac3togui\logs\eac3to" unless you have UAC turned on...then they are buried in virtual store in the user folder.

Mike, it appears to be a mkvmerge stage of the process issue. The idx file spat out by eac3to is fine, if I manually merge it.

It is probably the "move to 2.40:1" thing that is stuffing it up, I will check by processing the movie again and leaving that bit alone, especially as it turns out to be a 1.78:1 movie.

It could also be an issue with directvobsub, but when I play a file which should have subtitles, when processed by the Another gui, with subtitles moved up, then I get no detectable subtitle streams.


The movie name is obvious in the log.


Thanks

Mark

Used AnyDVD HD. The exact same files work the old fashioned manual way with command line in EAC3TO and MKVMerge.

I would like to use this but I might try and set it up on my W7 machine and just let it chug. That way I have fresh codecs, installs, etc. I will report back.

Thanks! That's way too long something is wrong. Simple movies without seemless branching should take less then an hour.....It's a good idea to turn off any power saver prior to starting a rip. Disabling sleep mode in the app while ripping is on top of my priority list.

On my AMD 790 Based motherboard I had to disable powersaver completely. Because when it came out of sleep mode it runs very SLOOOOOW. Perhaps there is a bios patch for it now...I haven't checked lately, it might be something to check on your system. Do a clean boot..turn off power saver then start a rip.


Mike

Mike, I've done some more testing.

With my Zoomplayer setup, using directvobsub and madvr, I don't get subs when they are muxed with your Another Gui.


They do work in MPC-HC, using it's internal settings.


But if I mux the idx file in manually with mkvmerge then the zoomplayer setup works.



So it's not the 2.40:1 thing. It's player related. And the final file sizes are identical either way.


What is your subtitle/player setup?
