Yeah, I using MakeMKV as a workaround, unfortunately ac3to also fails when transcoding TrueHD to WAV/FLAC if the MKV was created from a Seamless Branched disc using MakeMKV.

I think you should create an issue at http://bugs.madshi.net/main_page.php, madshi has fixed critical bugs even if the application is not actively developed.

Uh, doesn't look too good then

I wonder if ffmpeg can handle such streams joined by MakeMKV?

I've heard that DGDecNV can demux this correctly, but I don't have it to check.

It fails with error or output flac doesn't sync with video?

The latest version can indeed correctly demux all elementary streams, subtitles, and chapters in sync with the video. It's been tested on several disks, such as the UHD version of Cars 2 (which has boatloads of M2TS files in the playlist). If any other streams are not handled correctly please let us know and they'll be addressed straight away. Here is an interesting thread on the matter:

http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=780

wherein Bullwinkle advised how to do this sync correction correctly. Possibly madshi is interested in his HW offerings these days.

Hehe, must have been the best 15 bucks I ever spent that I put in the DGDecNV license

We could make a stand-alone demuxer that doesn't require an nVidia card.

Ordering my Santa outfit.

We can make it freeware, why not? DGDemux sounds good. Take a bluray/uhd playlist and deliver all elementary streams, subtitles, and chapters in sync.

MakeMKV uses container timestamps to fix things up AFAIK, for ES demuxing you are in trouble.

It fails with an 'Lossless Check Failed - Expected XX, Calculated YY' error, usually around a seamless branching scene.

I think those errors are not an issue, they've always been there as far as I remember.

It happens often when I convert DTS XXL to FLAC. But with TrueHD I didn't notice it. And of course any not lossless format gives this messages.

I think MakeMKV is not fixing the truehd audio properly.

TrueHD audio from seamless branching title created by DGIndexNV to FLAC conversion works OK
TrueHD audio from seamless branching title created by eac3to to FLAC conversion works OK but is out of sync
TrueHD audio from seamless branching title created by MakeMKV to FLAC conversion fails

Looks like DGIndexNV is the best tool for the job,
who would have thought that, best 15 dollars I've ever spent.

Are you using the TrueHD stream or its embedded AC3?

Looks like I got lucky, because I don't even do gap processing for TrueHD (although I do for the embedded AC3). It appears to not be necessary for TrueHD, and perhaps the problem for eac3to is that it does this processing when not needed. The eac3to algorithm does not look good to me (deleting duplicated audio frames AFAIK). Can you try with that -no2ndpass thingie (assuming you are using the TrueHD and not its embedded AC3)?

Hi videoh

That are great news.
Could you keep in mind your project should run on Linux and Windows and we need all what eac3to can do plus a bit more.
In my case I have often seamless branching BDs and eac3to has some bugs for e-ac3 streams.
Skip identical frames works almost for all cases but not 100%.

Thanks in advance, great!

Would next week be possible? I've decided to spend my end-of-year holidays early and I'm eager to unpack my X-mas presents.
