Marking resolved as OP has gone AWOL.

Sorry, I just noticed that you named the GUI in your first post. I cannot find "eac3to µGUI". Please give me a link to download it. Anybody else know what that is?

You're welcome, Laura. Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you are OK with the way I did it.

The log file is created in the "current directory". Are you running eac3to directly or through a GUI? If directly, then you are in a DOS command window in some directory and giving the command eac3to. That directory is the current directory. If using a GUI I don't know what directory it executes eac...

yeah pretty much
its gud 2 surprise people once in a while
they get really surprised when I bark at them
woof

I've released eac3to 3.50 using the PID concept to avoid overwrites. The notes file was augmented to include a description of log file operation. Log File -------- Log file generation was changed. Previously two identical copies of the log file were generated in the directory where eac3to.exe was lo...

eac3to 3.50:

* Changed the log file naming to prevent log file overwrites. The name
now includes the process PID of the invoking eac3to, e.g., "log1234.txt".
Refer to the notes file for details.
* Revised the notes file to include a description of how log files work.

A file called log.txt should be created in the current directory (where you are when you execute the eac3to command). The name is going to change in the next version. See the discussion at the end of this thread:

It was changed to avoid generating the same log file twice and allow for it to follow the new destpath option. I chose one of the two to delete and it was the one you apparently prefer. I'm always looking to reduce complexity and that's what I did. Now we need to decide whether to restore the old wa...

Would need date and time, which would be long but possible. Let's see what OP prefers.

I propose to add the process PID to the log file name. That would guarantee that each run would be different and you wouldn't overwrite. As the log file contains the command line, you'll be able to disambiguate them. Would this be OK for you? If not, propose something. We're not going back to genera...

DGDemux and eac3to complement each other. Each can do things that the other cannot. You're happy to use DGDemux for this case so I'll mark this resolved. I may enhance eac3to in the future to handle this but it will be a lot of work that may not be important enough to displace other things I need to...

The disk and your report exposed some issues in DGDemux/DGDemuxGUI that Rocky has just fixed. So re-download 1.0.0.73 and update. The following discussion is based on the behavior of the updated version. We'll get closure on that behavior and then decide what to do for eac3to. Remember that eac3to c...

Disk is in hand under fair use. Investigating...

OK, thank you.

More info... Clip 00014.m2ts has a stated playing time of 1 sec. If you removed all of them from 00001.mpls the remaining clips appear to make up the movie, as it has the correct duration that you stated. The repeated 00014 clips are likely obfuscation. To know what criterion to use to remove them, ...

The duplicate check doesn't seem to catch 00014.m2ts appearing several times in the second playlist - I'm not sure that's actually required. It collapses only adjacent duplicates, e.g., 00014+00014 would be collapsed, but not 00014+00001+00014. eac3to lets you choose only to retain the first N clip...

Please try using DGDemuxGUI checking the collapse box. If it works it tells me what the problem is and I can then fix it for eac3to. Although eac3to does have a collapse option it doesn't work the same way as DGDemuxGUI, and won't properly collapse the pattern here (00002.m2ts at the end will be los...

Rocky was not referring to you, m8! I hope we are friends.

Thank you, skull, for jumping in, and DelBoy83, glad to hear it's good for you. Rocky and me are kinda busy right now trying to find out why a user is getting illegal instructions with the DGDecodeNV_test2 build.

Hmm, right when I prove it's their problem, he goes quiet. Well, let's give him some time.

Great, thanks for testing!
