Now back to eac3to...

Hi everyone!

I would like to revisit the "strange setup" issue a little bit....

I know this has been up before, but I would like to look at it some more.
If there isn't a possibility to "inject" that it is normal 7.1 setup into the header when decoding.

I have tried encoding a small audiofile into both "strange setup" and normal setup, and the encoded data is the same (using a hexeditor for comparison) only the header differs.

I have also tried altering the header of the "strange setup" with the hex-editor to see if I could do what is asked here my self, but I had no luck.
Doesn't matter what I change in the header really, the track decodes as "strange setup" whatever....

I just don't know what it is in the header that tells the decoder that it is "strange setup".

EDIT: Also to add, someone mentioned earlier that this might not be possible due to the internal error calculations of DTS-HD, but I have actually edited the header without any problems to decode the track afterwards (only it still decodes as "strange setup").
From the little I understand from the published documents regarding DTS-HD MA, I find the error calculations depends of the acutal header-size and not some sort of hash of it.

So I would really like if someone could tell me how to read the header, or what specifically tell the decoder it is "strange setup".
I would be happy to share what I have with anyone interested more in this.

The format of the source file could not be detected

I get this error when trying to convert DTS-HD music tracks that have been demuxed from a Blu-Ray. I'm using v3.27. The first track is identified and converts to FLAC perfectly, after that for all subsequent tracks I get this error. I can convert TrueHD to FLAC with no issues. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this?

What error exactly do you get? You didn't post it

Thanks. However, this still doesn't bring us anywhere. No info on content he used (no sample either)

The source media is an audio only Blu-Ray music disc containing 2Ch PCM 96/24 and 6Ch DTS-HD 96/24. I use AnyDVD-HD to decrypt and save as ISO image (mainly so I have a backup of my media that can't get scratched). I then demux the DTS HD tracks from the image using DVD Audio Extractor. I get the same problems if I demux direct from the disc.

I'm open to suggestions of a better demuxing app that I could try? I am seeing this problem with DTS-HD on other blu-rays. The ISO image and demuxed DTS-HD files both play back fine on my PC. The weird thing is some tracks convert to FLAC in eac3to, some don't. On a previous disk the first two tracks worked, then the rest weren't recognised.

If you need it I could make the a copy of a working and non working track available for comparison but pls msg me in private to set this up.

You can try eac3to or TSmuxer to demux audio and video.

Ok, with eac3to am I right in thinking that I must use the raw blu-ray m2ts files to demux from? The problem I found was it creates a single output FLAC file. Perhaps I'm being a noob, is there a way to demux into individual DTS-HD files or just demux and convert straight to individual FLACs? Thanks.

You can do what you want with eac3to ; extract a dts track as is, convert it in a 5.1 wav, 6 mono waves, flac ...
The first thing to do is to analyze the m2ts file to see the numbers of the tracks, with this very simple command ;
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "H:\my video.m2ts"
eac3to will show tracks with a number. If the dts track you need is number 2, the command to extract it looks like ;
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "H:\my video.m2ts" 2: "M:\sound of my video.dts"
It's not only the core, it contains the DTS HD and the core.

To convert in Flac, just change the extension ;
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "H:\my video.m2ts" 2: "M:\sound of my video.flac"
But you need somme dll (from ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre) to decode Dts HD ;

Sounds like you want a track list rip as if it were a CD with a CUE.
DVDAudio Extractor can rip by "chapter". But I often find that different versions of DVDAE produce different results than eac3to.

You can remux with MKVtoolnix to split by timecode or framenumbers.
You have to input this list manually.
You can use the disc chapters.

If one track segue's into the next track, and you don't like the disc chapter, you'll have to edit yourself in something like Audacity.

eac3to doesn't do splitting by chapter (automated).
Best thing to do is split into files with MKVtoolnix for remuxing and then use eac3to for each split remux.

This is really helpful thanks, I've got Arcsoft decoder working fine, I'll give this a try.

Perfect, MKVToolNix did the job. DVD-AE has an option to create a DTS-CD plus Cue sheet so I just used this to generate the cue quickly from the ISO. Then loaded the cue into MKVMerge to split the chapters and demux the M2TS stream to MKA. eac3to was then able to correctly identify the DTS-HD in the MKAs and convert them either to FLAC or .dts files. Discovered something new as well, using the MKA container JRiver appears to be playing back the full DTS-HD bitrate now (8000Kbps) whereas the .dts files just play the core (1500Kbps). Not sure why that is. eac3to identifies them as 96/24 and they're just as large as the MKAs. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Sorry I've been ripping from music blu-rays not movies so couldn't tell you. I suspect the problem I've encountered is with DVD Audio Extractors demux of Dts-hd.

Did you really search this thread for "Atmos" before asking this, XadoX?

(Does anyone have a new libFLAC.dll to use with eac3to? FLAC version 1.3.1 has some improvements to encoding efficiency and speed, which is always a good thing.)

EDIT: found this thread after some more searching: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=171480
