Looking at the bugs & features thread, I saw discussion about playlists. How exactly did the original eac3to determine which playlists to display/prioritize? Was it also based strictly on duration? Or is there some element of the Blu-ray structure that can be referenced for a list of the meaningful ...

I still care about HD-DVD, so I'd prefer that support for it isn't dropped (overall). That said, the handling for THD+AC3 should definitely be modernized, and I'm not so sure that it should be up to eac3to_mod to do it. If I were doing that myself, I would encode the AC3 with an ... available ... of...

I don't understand why eac3to is re-encoding the AC3. That doesn't make sense. DGDemux doesn't re-encode when extracting the AC3 or merging THD+AC3, does it? Also, isn't libAften obsolete?

Disney or Lionsgate have completely the same masters on different editions/regions. Maybe this is true for those specific publishers, but it's not a general rule, unfortunately. I have seen... I'm going to say Universal, maybe? discs released in different countries/regions with unique encodes of th...

It should not matter which editions you order, main movie files with main TrueHD 7.1 Atmos tracks are 100% identical... difference can be with additional dub tracks or bonuses, nothing else. Not guaranteed for every disc, even for the same publisher and region/country. Mostly safe between "Steelboo...

The log is also interesting, here are some messages: - [a03] AC3 encoding doesn't support back channels. Will mix them into the surround - [a03] Decoding with libav/ffmpeg... - [a03] Mixing surround channels... - [a03] Remapping channels - [a03] Encoding AC3 <640kbps> with libAften... - [a03] The a...

Maybe it's time for an INI file so users can specify their own defaults for things like -removeDialnorm and -fast. What do y'all think of that? Sounds good to me, though may I suggest reporting any .INI-provided settings in a header/banner whenever the program runs? Think ffmpeg 's default listing ...

I'm going to add an option to keep them. -fast or -slow, let the battle begin. ;) It's not a speed race, sure, but I don't like waiting 45 minutes to demux a disk too. It'll be like Burger King, have it your own way. This approach is appreciated. I don't know how frequently those CRC checks might a...

Folks, how do y'all feel about making -keepDialnorm the default, i.e., reverse its current sense? ... Note that DGDemux keeps DN and has no option to remove it. We have not received even one complaint about this. I'm looking for solid theoretical or use-case arguments and not your "conventional wis...

feature request when the time has come: being able to change the framerate of HEVC .mkv remuxes like it is already possible to do with BDs. e.g. "eacto 1) 2: video.mkv -changeto24.000" / -changeto23.976 / -changeto25.000 thank you. Changing HEVC frame rate seems to be pretty simple based on how it ...

SomeHumanPerson , can you be more specific? What do you mean by deprecate? Remove stuff? What stuff do you want removed? And why? Does their presence cause any problems? I think that the answer above from Guest 3 a.k.a. tebasuna51 is a good explanation. It seems like libav/ffmpeg can do (almost?) e...

This is a longer-term feature request, lower priority than what's on the docket so far, I think, but could you eventually look into deprecating any obsolete/unnecessary encoder/decoder libraries (especially user-provided external ones) to reduce complexity and user confusion, please?

They don't think it's bad, they apparently don't know about it yet. Apologies, I didn't actually go check out the thread and only assumed that it would have already been announced over there. Hopefully someone else can rectify that. OK, but don't forget that he was all along actively looking for so...

I probably won't make an account just for that, but it's hard to understand why anyone would consider this a bad thing. As far as I'm concerned, eac3to was EOL when it sat for... what, two years? on a release that broke as much as it fixed. I don't mean to speak ill of madshi in terms of his contrib...

This is AWESOME news, and it's about time that a path forward for eac3to opened up.

Based on my experience here with getting DGDemux issues resolved, I think that it's fantastic that you folks have picked up the torch. Thank you so much for making this happen!

I'm a little late to the party here, but I've been muxing the untouched .w64 output from DGDemux v1.0.0.70 (LPCM 1.0 and 2.0 sources) into .MKA (please don't ask me to explain my insanity!) with MKVToolNix v73.0.0 as recently as August 19th. The resulting .MKAs play fine, seek fine, and show all rel...

The other thing to remember is that this doesn't actually matter in any relevant way. All other metrics of the stream are still reported the same, particularly the bitrate, so it's not like the stream itself has actually been changed. Any decoder is still going to decode it exactly the same. There's...

I haven't got around to messing with this yet, but I'd like to add my appreciation for you bringing the Linux version up to speed, Sherman. I'll definitely be making use of it in the future.

BDInfo 0.7.5.6 on the USA UHD-BD says that the TrueHD/Atmos track is 24-bit, 4820 kbps. EDIT: Which you mentioned in the first post and I missed. But if the custom disc produced by tsmuxer shows up differently in BDInfo, that has to be something that tsmuxer is doing/changing. Does it report the sam...

So if anyone reading this thread is in the market for a new media player for local files, buy a Zidoo, not a Dune HD. What marketplace did you buy yours through? I was looking at these a couple of days ago but they don't offer the Z9X "Pro" on Amazon.ca (only the original Z9X) and it appears that t...

Do you know how far along this project is, and where I can read more about it? Getting that level of control would be very exciting. Unfortunately, no to the second question. A very tentative "pretty close" to the first question, I think. At one point there was a GitHub with a lot of discussion (mi...

Ah, I did misunderstand a couple of things. Thank you for the clarifications. There are a few people working on full Atmos decoding/re-encoding and allegedly making good progress, so maybe this will become moot in the not-too-distant future where we can just fully decode/extract Atmos and re-encode ...

:salute: A 'lossless check' occurs at every major. It's a check over the entire stream from the beginning of decoding up to that major. Any deletion of minors prior to that major will violate this check. AVRs can produce undefined results when the lossless check is violated. For transcoding it's usu...

This board needs a popcorn emoji.

(I'm not being sarcastic, I find this kind of detail very interesting and keep checking in for new tidbits.)

Note that this "Lossless check failed" warning has been widely regarded as inconsequential. I've encountered that error on a small number of single-M2TS TrueHD streams when decoding to WAV with ffmpeg , so it's not limited to potential joining or gaps correction issues. (I verified file integrity r...
