Since MuteyM has reappeared after years I thought I'd do the same to confirm that after so many years HDConcertRipper still gives me the same error on many BluRay discs.
Yesterday I tried to rip the Rolling Stones Grrr! BluRay disc; I chose the PCM audio track and asked to extract it to W64 divided by chapter.
A huge file is created and then when it is time to split it into chapters I get a message that says the file is corrupt.
I wish MuteyM investigated error reports and tried to reproduce problems. This PCM to WAV extraction should be the most straighforward use of eac3to and it doesn't require any encoding/decoding so I really have no idea what I could try to resolve the issue.
I am using the latest release of HDConcertRipper and the latest release of eac3to (3.27).
Since eac3to doesn't split by chapter I suppose the code that tries to split the WAV file is within HDConcertRipper itself and therefore the eac3to logs do not provide any useful information.

As a side note let me add that when HDConcertRipper fails my only alternative to get audio output by chapter is to use eac3to to demux and extract chapter information, then remux with tsRemux into single chapters and then demux each chapter again with eac3to! Quite a convoluted process!

Another side note: the first post states that "Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 must be installed if you want WMA output" but I found that if you don't install the MS encoder you get an error even when trying to output to different formats, not only WMA.
