interesting...but again, it adds a lot of complexity for a small amount of gain.

I'm mostly downloadin re-encodes anyhow....and I'm quite happy with them.

Wow!

Much thanks for the tip-off, Mark. It's like mana from heaven. Or from doom9, whichever.

Got Indiana Jones demuxed. I kept the .thd file and I think this is automatically converted to .flac but I could be wrong. The files that came out included a .thd and a TrueHD+AC3 file that says it is a flac file.

How do I played the mkvmerge file that is mkv with flac?

I open up MPCHC and get the attached error.

If I open the flac file in VLC I can hear the audio (although very damn quiet).

If I open the MKV file in VLC the video part freezes and the audio continues fine.

The whole 'pins in the graph' thing has always struck me as a horribly anachronistic way to describe this stuff. Pins? It's software, people! There are no pins!

Greg, try this GUI for EAC3To

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141829

Download the SVN build (not the 0.5 version).

It's really simple to use, and works fine.


And unless you told eac3to to convert a stream to flac, then it didn't do it. Try the gui, pick the stream, choose the output type, simple.

I think putting stuff in the notepad is extremely easy. Here is what I put into notepad and made a batch file:

Quote:
eac3to.exe "C:\Users\Greg\Documents\INDIANA_JONES_4_D1\BDMV\STREAM\00009.m2ts" "c:\BluRay\Indiana_Jones_4\Indiana_Jones_4.mkv" "c:\BluRay\Indiana_Jones_4\Indiana_Jones_4.thd"


I was reading the BR to MKV guide over at AVS (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1033822&highlight=eac3to+guide)

and read this:

Quote:
Once this has finnished you can remove all the files you do not want i.e. subtitles, foreign language tracks etc. When done like this eac3to automatifcally lossless audio tracks it encounters to lossless FLAC, creates a chapters file and a log file.


And attached is the file directory after demuxing...did I miss something?

I have no idea what you have done as you have not turned on File Extensions for known file types (size would be handy too). You may have a flac file, but I can't see a mkv file.

If you did get those files, you have no control over which streams it actually processed.


I'm not sure if I do it the *only* way, but from a command prompt I would do (repeated from the start of this thread):

1. Stick disc in drive

2. Run command prompt (from a prepared shortcut) to eac3to.exe. I have a old 150gb drive dedicated, with eac3to sitting in the root.


3. Type: eac3to d:\

Read the readout for the name of the m2ts file (0000x.m2ts for the example).

4. Type eac3to d:\bdmv\stream\0000x.m2ts (use up arrow to get it the text again).

Read the readout for the track listing.

5. Type eac3to d:\bdmv\stream\0000x.m2ts 1: moofie_chapters.txt 2: moofie_video.mkv 4: moofie_audio.flac.




Or use the extremely easy to use GIU.

I was actually processing these from ripped blurays..not the disk.

It seems that you know your way and not much in the way of troubleshooting my problem. By you repeating your procedure over and over you are in essence like the IT department saying, "Did you restart your computer?"

I will get a disk and see if I can do exactly as you by typing in the audio.flac file. To be continued...

You can do it from the disc, or from the file, it makes no difference:

3. Type: eac3to.exe "C:\Users\Greg\Documents\INDIANA_JONES_4_D1\BDMV\STREAM\00009.m2ts"

And then read the stream names.

The key is you pick your streams by number: 1. chapters.txt 3. video.mkv 5. audio.flac for example.


Seriously, use the GUI, all these issues will vanish.

Run this command and you will get the MKV and Flac file.

eac3to.exe "C:\Users\Greg\Documents\INDIANA_JONES_4_D1\BDMV\STREAM\00009.m2ts" "c:\BluRay\Indiana_Jones_4\Indiana_Jones_4.mkv" "c:\BluRay\Indiana_Jones_4\Indiana_Jones_4.flac"

This is a codec problem, likly you don't have a flac codec installed. I use "Madflac"

Just tried to another one and everything worked fine (took about two hours or more) but when I go to play the movie MPCHC skips and WMP11 will play it fine with 1 second delay in audio.

Thoughts?

No filters being used. I have downloaded ffdshow and haali media splitter. Maybe some settings are wrong. I wish these files were smaller so I could send you one to test. Sad

Ffdshow and haali splitter are filters.


What other ones are in your filter graph when you play these files?

Ah...I was thinking they were called decoders. Well, that just shows how much I don't know.

Filtergraph? lol I just open MPCHC and click on the file to play. No graphs being setup unless they are by default.
