just a thought... are my ripping problems due to the PGS subtitle issue?
i noticed the my log says PGS for subtitles:
| Code: | 5: Subtitle (PGS), English
6: Subtitle (PGS), Spanish |

Hey I could use some help. I was going through all my blurays and ripping them using this program. Everything works great except for with the movies with PCM audio, The Prestige being one.. I can't get any audio no matter what player I use. MediaInfo does show them with a PCM audio track and the file size seems right, so I know the audio is there. I just can't get anything to play it. I'm sure it something simple I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated.

I just started to use AEAC v 9.1.18. When I hit the batch button it disregards the name I have typed in the outout file box and substitutes the default. I am using seperate work and finl folders.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure what to tell you, I convert PCM to FLAC and never have an issue with audio. You might ask the question on Doom9 or AVS. If there are any other playback experts here perhaps they could chime in, I know very little about how to setup playback. For FLAC audio all you need is MPC-HC & ReClock.

You first must type in the name in the output file then hit the "Add Batch" button. The name should then show up in the "Batch Jobs" list box. Then to run the batch press the "Run All" button below the batch list.

Do you know when you are going to release the next update that does PGS subtitles?

You might get that if the GUI cannot find a multi-channel audio track in the default language, a foreign films or an older movie with a stereo or mono audio track is an example. You should be able to select the audo track then click on ok and the disk should rip fine.

Mike:
I'm getting the same error quoted above. It comes up on every disk both old and new (i.e. Iron Man, Blade Runner, X-Men 3 etc...) The log states that the audio file is damaged so I never get any tracks to select. However, if I rip the disk first (using AnydvdHD) and then run AEAC, all of the tracks show up and I can select what I want.
FWIW, the above seems to have started about the time I updated eac3to and your app to the latest versions about a month ago.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mike ..
Just wanted to thank you again for adding the AAC support (HD audio tracks DTS-HD, PCM, TrueHD ----> AAC conversion). I have finally used your proggy a bunch recently and it's worked well... about 85% of the time which is good. I just fall back on HdBrStreamExtractor and MKVMERGE which just adds 1 more step to the process when your proggy fails (except I can't get the chapters as right as your program does this way, grrr).
Easy muxing of AAC saved me over 200GB of space total so far as compared to just muxing the HD audio and I really don't have that many BD's. it's not just the space saved either... makes doing operations on the files (if i need to back up, move things around, defrag, change disks less painful, too.
AAC, AAC, AAC people! I still see no one even considering it and demanding the "HD Audio" only --> give it a try. No more worries about incompatibilities, bit-streaming issues, saves lots of space, time and most importantly, I can almost guarantee you will find no audible difference between the HD audio track and an AAC track encoded from a lossless track. I still periodically mux some of my movies with two tracks: the original HD audio and the encoded AAC... and use Haali to switch between the tracks on the fly while playing back on my laptop via HDMI to my Onkyo 606 and decent 5.1 living room setup (yes my laptop can bit-stream HD audio formats as well as 7.1 LCPM up to 192/24). I have still yet to find a track or even a moment where I could tell a difference. Even tested Akira with it's obscene 192/24 5.1 track... switched between that bit-streaming to my AAC encode (which I down-mixed to 96/24) it sounds exactly the same... awesome. Even when furthur down-mixing the AAC (using windows internal) track to 48/24 so my receiver can apply Audyssey it still sounds the same.:
Try it yourself... Don't be a slave to the placebo.

been running into this unable to detect audio track issue also, just started cropping up. I can't select the audio track either as it just errors out and I have to quit the encode. Ripping it though like one tree did works but I can't place the Blu in the tray and off I go.

Right after you get the error message close out of the box. Go to tool>View Last Eac3to run from the main menu. Copy and paste what's in the box in this thread.

Sure can, I will try to do that tonight.
edit, do the older bluray movies (like eraser, total recal, the aviator) have smaller files with them? My files seem to be much smaller then some newer blu rays like star trek, transformer 2, and avatar. Most of the first ones come in at around 13gb where the latter ones are at 33gb.

Hi all - first, another thank you for this program. I'm rediscovering it again recently after having used Clown BD for awhile and I really like how easy it is. One question... is it possible to run two instances of this at once without problems (other than CPU, disk I/O). The reason I ask is, I have several full bitrate movies ripped to my HDD (which is a large RAID array with no (relevant) IOPS constraints) and I'm wondering if I can set up several windows at the same time to do the processing to MKV. Thanks.

Okashira / all -
Is there a way to change the default quality settings for the AAC encode when you use AAC? I see in my logs that it's encoding at <.50> quality and have read that you can pass a variable from 0 to 1 to the encoder.
I'm not that familiar with AAC, so I'm not sure if I should be choosing a higher bitrate or if all of the commentary above about how the sound was transparent was based on using the standard setting. I'm definitely willing to give it a try, but want to make sure I have the settings right when I start.
Thanks.

That more depends on the stucture the disc authoring people chose rather then the age of the movie / bd release... Sometimes they just put the movie as one huge chunk (one big file). Sometimes they like to break it apart at different scene so alternate scene can be used in certain places based on what you want to watch, e.g., you can have a Directors Cut and the Theatrical Cut on the same disc without using double the space, you just store the extra delete scenes seperate and play them at the right time if you choose Directors Cut.
Iron Man 2 BD for example: two versions of the movie on the same disc. They just swap some scenes for the "alternate" version rather then re-encode the entire movie.

I wouldn't reccomend this... Ive had problems when ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI tries to run a 2nd instance of EAC3TO... The 2nd instance/rip will start and work correctly while the one you had running first will just suddenly stop and freeze with no error. You CAN have more then one EAC3TO instances running but it doesnt seem to work out when you did it with only ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI. I've had an ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI instance ripping and used HdBrStreamExtractor to start another rip and that worked fine (had two instances EAC3TO and NeroAacEnc running and all was well, cept my dual core processer wasn't )
It's up to Mike if he wants to look into it and see if he can ensure what needs to be done to get two EAC3TO instances running in parallel without conflict...

myrison:
Yes. Personally, I always use default 0.50, even for my music when I use foobar2000 with NeroAacEnc where this quality setting is more readily available. The default setting (0.50) is chosen by Nero's codec engineers as the "best" setting per their opinion, based on their own internal research and listening tests. To clarify, it's not that they chose 0.50 as their "preferred" setting, but rather the encoder and quality input have been tuned to provide their "best" results at Q=0.50. I believe this was meant to represent their best compromise between % transparency based on # tracks and # listeners vs. compression ratio.
Obviously starting at 0 is the lowest quality and the most compression. 1.00 will invoke straight up lossless compression (just like FLAC). The codec chooses the appropriate detailed settings to provide the best quality for the expected bit rate range based on this input, e.g., a setting of 0.20 will invoke HE-AAC v2, while 0.50 is strictly LC-AAC (note it's not always perfect, as nothing is; some listening tests have revealed that LC-AAC gives better results then HE-AAC v2 all the way down to ~0.35)
All ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI does now is specify the file extension when giving arguments to EAC3TO (change .flac to .m4a is enough to tell EAC3TO to change the encoder from FLAC to NeroAacEnc... EAC3TO is a very user friendly and "smart" command line program). EAC3TO then just passes the default settings to NeroAacEnc (which is something just like "neroaacenc <input file> <output file>") which defaults to 0.5 per NeroAacEnc.
If you want to change this quality setting while still in ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI, just find your bluray stream folder as usual --> Click analyze --> Click the desired playlist below (usually the first one) --> Click "Command Line"
You will see the exact arguments that are passed to EAC3TO... something like this:
eac3to.exe xxxxx -xxxxxx 1:xxxxx.mkv 2:xxxxx.flac
or
eac3to xxxxx -xxxxxx 1:xxxxx.mkv 2:xxxxx.m4a
you'll see the m4a if you have chosen AAC. At the very end of all the stuff typed after eac3to, add another space then "-quality=X.XX" where X.XX is the quality, e.g., 0.51 if you want higher quality and larger size then default or 0.49 if you want smaller size and lesser quality then default.
Then you can run the job. The problem now is that ANOTHEREAC3TOGUI won't automatically merge the tracks back into an MKV, you gotta do it yourself (use mmg.exe)
Here's an idea for you (something I did myself) if you are doubting that "0.50" is sufficient for you, encode a few tracks in the 0.40 ~ 0.45 range or even lower, and listen to those with your preferred method (digital out to your receiver, your best speakers and using an ABX test program is the "best" way, but casually is fine to if that's what you prefer). If they sound great/transparent, then you can be sure 0.50 will be sufficient!

Hi All,
I've been ripping my blu ray collection so I can store it on my home server to use with media portal.
For some reason Kick Ass is giving me trouble when I try to rip. Below is the log file.
Any idea as to why it wont work?

|
|
AEAC 0.9.1.18
eac3to v3.24
mkvmerge v4.30
I'm trying to rip my Batman Begins Blu-ray. The problem is that the final MKV file never gets generated by mkvmerge.
Upon investigation, I see that eac3to is generating an audio track file "batman - 5 TrueHD DELAY 83ms.thd" even though the command line argument AEAC sent to eac3to had the filename as "batman - 5 TrueHD.thd". So eac3to appended the delay to the filename.
Then AEAC sends the filename "batman - 5 TrueHD.thd" to mkvmerge, but that file does not exist, so mkvmerge errors with:
Error: The source file 'D:\queue\batman - 5 TrueHD.thd' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking to the end did not work.
Is there any workaround for this? I ended up just using the mkvmerge GUI to merge the files myself. But I'd rather not do that, since the reason I was using AEAC was to simplify things!

I have seen that before...There is a seektoIFrames Option that I will be including in the next release that might fix it. I'm swamped with work right now so I'm not sure when that will be available.

No..I think the reason is because there was no English multi-channel audio track. Foreign films can be a bit of a challenge to rip correctly. Often times I just use the command line option then use mkvmerge and manually remux. One problem can be there are two english subtitles one is the "Noises" subtitle track the other is the real sub track. I haven't figured a way to identify which one is the real subtitle track. In your case this disk has 3 english sub tracks, probably one is a director commentary making it even more fun.

Yes. Personally, I always use default 0.50, even for my music when I use foobar2000 with NeroAacEnc where this quality setting is more readily available. The default setting (0.50) is chosen by Nero's codec engineers as the "best" setting per their opinion, based on their own internal research and listening tests. To clarify, it's not that they chose 0.50 as their "preferred" setting, but rather the encoder and quality input have been tuned to provide their "best" results at Q=0.50. I believe this was meant to represent their best compromise between % transparency based on # tracks and # listeners vs. compression ratio.

Here's an idea for you (something I did myself) if you are doubting that "0.50" is sufficient for you, encode a few tracks in the 0.40 ~ 0.45 range or even lower, and listen to those with your preferred method (digital out to your receiver, your best speakers and using an ABX test program is the "best" way, but casually is fine to if that's what you prefer). If they sound great/transparent, then you can be sure 0.50 will be sufficient! |
Thanks for the long informative answer. Sorry about the delay in replying. I thought I'd subscribed to e-mail updates of this thread but see today that I did not. I will plan to do some testing. Thanks for the info.
