just made a successful mkv of ratatouille.
what i ended up doing:
- uninstalled shark007 win7 and x64 codecs.
- uninstalled haali
- installed the newest shark007 win7 and x64 codecs and configured them
- noticed that shark was using the v1.9.63.13 of haali, so i installed the version that you posted
- that seemed to change what version the win7 codecs used, but it still lists the newer version in the x64 codec config, and the 1.9.42.1 in the x32 config... i'm no codec expert, so i'm not sure exactly how that is working, best guess is i currently have 2 versions of haali installed, one x32 and one x64
- reran another attempt at ripping ratatouille with your app and success!
let me know if you want any other info on what i did or have installed to help with the debugging/dev process, but i think that's all i did.
thanks much! |
Great!...That's good info to know...I will probably note it on the original post and provide a link to the above version Haali.
Thanks for the help figuring this out.
Mike

i think the only confusing part is the multiple versions of haali for x64 users.
my guess is that my x32 haali got upgraded after i upgraded shark007 the last time, so then your app got bustificated.

Quick question... I'm pretty new to this and trying to figure out a way to rip my blu-rays so that I can play them on my wdlive hd. I also use xbmc on my mac and so I'm thinking that .mkv are the closest to cross platform that I can get. From what I understand, all that this gui does is take the content from the raw streams and put them into the mkv container. Well, my receiver won't support the hd audio streams, so I was hoping that I could find a solution that would allow me to decode the audio to AC3 and put that into the mkv. I can't even tell if this does that or not. Anyone care to give a noob the 30k foot explanation of what I am going to get in my output file? I tried going through all of this thread, but I confess that I may have missed something in all the replys about problems with specific movies.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Well, I took a shot using all the software from the first post and the trial of arcsoft (I already owned anydvdhd). I tried this on Watchmen. Fired it up and went to bed. When I came down this morning there is an error pop-up that says:
"Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name:length"
I checked on the gui itself and here are the contents of the 'Results' window:
Starting EAC3To.exe
EAC3to Command Line arguments : "C:\my_movies\Watchmen_files\WATCHMEN\BDMV\STREAM" 2) 1: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - Chapters.txt" 2: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen 1080p VC-1.mkv" 4: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 4 DTS Master.flac" 7: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 7 Subtitle.sup" 8: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 8 Subtitle.sup" 9: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 9 Subtitle.sup" 10: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 10 Subtitle.sup" 11: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 11 Subtitle.sup" 12: "C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 12 Subtitle.sup" -log="C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - Log.txt"
EAC3to complete
Looking for forced subtitles...
No flagged forced subtitles found, looking for other types of forced subtitles...
Likely non flagged forced subtitle found! C:\my_movies\work\Watchmen - 10 Subtitle.sup

Anyone ever seen this error before?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

When do you receive the error "Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name:length"?
I noticed you are ripping off the hard drive...If you rip directly off the Blu-ray do you receive the same error?...Also do you know if when you copied from the Blu-ray to the hard drive did you copy the entire disk or just certain tracks?
I will be posting a new version with some debuging tools built in...I'm doing some final testing now and I should post it later tonight.
Mike

Mike,
Thanks for your help. I get the same error in either case. I'm not sure exactly 'when' it happens, because I kick it off and leave the room and when I come back later, I see that message. The only clues that I have are the contents of the 'Results' window. I did do a full copy of the entire disk. I also have it ripped as an .iso, so let me know if I should be trying something with that as well.
I'll look for the updated version later tonight and try again.
Thanks,
Chris

I have done several and everyone has this error. I end up manually muxing the files together. One of the films I most want to do will not process the video it's 29fps. Is that the cause and is the a work around?

Is the account your running the app with an Administrator? If not try running as an Administration. It may only take one time to run as Admin to work then the DLL will be registered properly from there on.
You may want to look at this thread.

Thanks Mike, I followed the link and there is a free program to monitor your registry. I monitored it right up to the error and looked for the correct code to tell you the truth this is way over my head. If there is not a simple way I can live with it, maybe an update will fix it.
edit; I tried to run as an adminitrator One computer I was able to check the always run as adminisrator under properties and the other I could not, both still had the error

Ahh..Ok...what version of Haali are you using? Make sure it's not the 12/19/09 release. I've edited the original post with more info about Haali, and a link to a version that works.

I used the just updated version of the gui and I still get the same error about the String. Let me know if there is some additional logging information that is being written out somewhere that I could send to you.
Thanks,
Chris
Oh, and I'm using the 'correct' version of matroskasplitter.

TIA

With the app you should only get what are called "Forced" subtitles. This for instance is a movie in English where a foreign language is spoken, or in the case of one recent release "District 9" where the aliens speak, often times these subtitle are very important to following the plot in the film.
Unfortunately the only way to find out if these types of subtitles exist in a movie is to de-mux the subtitle tracks then test them for the existence of a flag that tags them as “forced”.

I have only been able to include forced subtitles. The nonforced subs are never an option in mkvmerge

Just uploaded a new version, fixed issues with demux only options and added some debugging tools.
After you get the error, click ok, then from the main menu click on Tool>View Last Eac3to run. A window will appear, paste the of the text box in this thread.
Thanks!

Mike:
Your tool is perfect. Thank you for your work on this, and continued support.
Just one VERY small thing. Would you consider adding AAC support (.m4a) just like you have FLAC support? All that needs to be done is feed EAC3TO .m4a instead of .flac. Heck even the default encoding settings are perfect. No options.
MKVmerge can then mux it all the same as if it were a flac.
If Another EAC3to GUI PLUS had this feature, it would turn my 5-step rip / store process from BD's into a one step! (currently I must do custom command line and change .flac to .m4a, then of course manually convert subs, and remerge.)
If you're curious, AAC is a great alternative to FLAC which can often shave off 3gb of the MKV filesize without sacrificing quality (perceptually) sometimes more (Akira - 12gb saved!)
Thank you for the consideration.

Shouldn't be a huge mod to do...I will look into it.

Hi Mike, sorry if I've missed this in the several pages leading up to this, but is it a known issue that attempting to use a source directory with a space in the name causes the GUI to fail? Example:
I usually rip all of my videos to Source file P:\Videos\Ripped Videos\Moviename
When I attempt to use this folder in the GUI, I get this error.
| Code: | | Source file "P:\Videos\Ripped" not found. <ERROR> |
It looks like it's just stalling out at the space in the directory name. Is this possible to be fixed in your code so that directories like this work as well?
Thanks!

Mike,
Just want to point out - I just noticed this - the error I'm getting with the AAC test version is the same as described above by the other posters. So it's probably not even related to your AAC option implementation but to whatever fault is causing their crash as well.
The debugger result (under tools show last eac3to run) only shows the successful completion of eac3to's job, the error appears to come when your program goes to do somthing with the forced subs it finds.
When I left home earlier today (i'm still at work) I popped in another blu ray to see if that one will work (this time District 9)
