3.1 with FL channel silent?
Is strange, without a sample I don't know the problem.

BTW eac3to have a way to remap channels, for instance:

eac3to input output -1,2,0,3

that send the input FL channel (0) to FC channel (3) in output

If I use VLC 228 or lower, then there are no errors in the recorded files.
But if I use VLC 306 or higher, then there are a lot of errors in the recorded files ([v01] Video overlaps for 7 frames at playtime 0:01:30. <WARNING>).

Could you explain the nature of these errors?
Are these realy errors in the records or is this an incorrect work of the eac3to?

Here are two videos recorded in 228 and 306

306 https://yadi.sk/i/ELXZ03Jk3hU-vQ

Tebasuna, gracias! Do I need anything more to successfully apply -1,2,0,3? I get "Command line parameter "1,2,0,3" is unknown."

@Masutin

Sorry, seems the remap parameter need at least 6 channel even if source have only 4:

eac3to input output -1,2,0,3,4,5

tested over a 3.1 input.

Hola, Tebasuna! If I can trouble you again. I did what I should have and decoded the original 3.1 into C L R BC. C (ch. 2?) is the only voice channel. To get voice in both fronts, can you suggest how to mix or remap this? Sorry for misleading, the wrong details were from the encode.

If you decode a source like:
Quote:
eac3to v3.34
command line: eac3to 4a310.ac3 4a310.ac3_.wavs
----------------------------------------------
AC3, 3/1 channels, 0:00:20, 224kbps, 48kHz
Decoding with libav/ffmpeg...
Reducing depth from 64 to 24 bits...
Writing WAVs...
Creating file "D:\tmp\4a310.ac3_.L.wav"...
Creating file "D:\tmp\4a310.ac3_.R.wav"...
Creating file "D:\tmp\4a310.ac3_.C.wav"...
Creating file "D:\tmp\4a310.ac3_.BC.wav"...
eac3to processing took 1 second.
Done.
and the ..._.C.wav is the only voice channel I recommend you use:

eac3to input output.ac3 -downStereo -normalize

Or other output format (AAC recommended for stereo)

A warning, as people still seem to be posting directly to threads and may not be aware:

It appears that the forum may have been hacked. There is a suspicious "test" announcement, apparently from tebasuna51 (but probably not), parts of the forum are not working, and there appear to be some malicious javascript files.

I'm not speaking in any official capacity here, but I would recommend, at the very least, NOT entering your password anywhere on Doom9 for the time being.

Please refer to this post: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...wpost&t=176128

tebasuna51, as you seem to have posted recently to this thread in particular, can you enlighten us?

Just a quick question. When extracting DTS-MA audio from an m2ts stream, giving a file a .dts extension will yield the same result as putting .dtshd, right? Whereas '.dts -core' would just get the old DTS core.

The 2 resultant streams look the same to me in tsMuxer (but you never know).

Yes, a .dts can be a standard CBR DTS or a VBR DTS-HD (MasterAudio or HighResolution).

Tebasuna, thanks again! Converting 3.1 (voice channel C) to 2.0 works! Voice in both channels! One last question on this. When recoding as 3.1, can there be a way to make QAAC preserve the order as L C R BC? A few remapping sequences I've tried produce only FL FR SL SR. Probably remapping won't help here.

Thanks! (Just wanted to make sure it wasn't some header tricking me or something)

P.S. Glad to see you post again! Puts the matter of your allegedly compromised account at rest (see above).

You dont need remap, all must be automatic.
A 3.1 with WAV order FL,FR,FC,BC can be converted to AAC with qaac to:

LC 48000Hz 4.0 (C L R Cs) -- 128,144,160,192,224,256,288,320,384,448,512,576,640 (bitrates)

qaac -v 128 --adts -o outLC128.aac inFL_FR_FC_BC.wav
work fine

but not to HE than only support:

HE 48000Hz 4.0 (L R Ls Rs) -- 64,80,96,112,128,160

qaac -v 128 --he --adts -o outHE128.aac inFL_FR_FC_BC.wav
ERROR: Channel layout not supported

Run: qaac --formats

to know the formats allowed

Hmm, eac3to marks a video at 1080i50. That's not true interlaced, right? (So, no need to give it 'InputType=0' in QTGMC, right?) And when I export it to .mkv, it just says 25fps.

Why would that not be true interlaced? Its used all over europe in interlaced broadcasts.

Because there are different kinds of 1080i. Pay particular attention to this sentence: "However, when 1080p material is captured at 25 or 30 frames/second, it is converted to 1080i at 50 or 60 fields/second, respectively, for processing or broadcasting." The blu-ray I am talking about appears to be 'pseudo-interlaced' like that (aka, no different top- and bottom field).

And since eac3to also just exports it to a 25fps stream, I am strengthened in my belief it's just 'fake' interlaced.

50 fields interlaced makes 25 frames per second, thats how all PAL interlaced streams look. There is no real way to know without visual inspection of the footage. 1080i50 could be interlaced, or it could be fake-interlaced. The number alone tells you nothing.
Also, you gave no context that its even from a Blu-ray. But even then, those can also contain true interlaced streams.

How would we know when you don't provide any sample.

Also I'm not sure what you expect from running QTGMC "without 'InputType=0'" (which is the same as running it with that parameter as that's the default value) on progressive content.

For every progressive material, I normally use 'InputType=1'. Only interlaced gets InputType=0.
