eac3to - audio conversion tool

[TheLastOfUs]

Want to update...the above only happens when using -slowdown for aac...otherwise inputting .aac and then exporting to a .aac works fine...without -slowdown

Nero AAC Encoder (1.5.4.0) is installed
Surcode DTS Encoder doesn't seem to be installed

I'm using Windows 10.

I have Nero 7 installed and mine definitely is not coming back with that. Can you please show me your product information without the serials? So I can compare what I may be missing. I did a full install

[madshi]

eac3to needs the Nero decoder to be accessible via DirectShow. If it isn't, eac3to can't use it. So something seems to be wrong with the installation. I don't know how to fix it, though.

[TheLastOfUs]

well im installing Nero 7.11.10 now direct from Nero's archive.....so far this is a nightmare.

I extracted eac 3.31 just fine

[TheLastOfUs]

Yup..installed 7.11.10.0

Same crap.



% List of all my installs and versions.

I'm more than likely guessing this is happening because I'm using Windows 10 and Nero.

Maybe manually registering "NeAudio2.ax" with regsvr32 helps?

If it doesn't then I'm out of ideas.

[TheLastOfUs]

My nero is not installing NeAudio2.ax

No idea why. Reinstalled cleanly and uninstalled in Safe mode a few times.

[TheLastOfUs]

I don't have this file "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeAudio2.ax"

[TheLastOfUs]

Madhsi thanks for linking me to above. Seems that guy had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM as me. He was also missing NeAudio2.ax but didn't quite mention how he solved it (super annoying).

I will be less annoying and say I solved this easily by installing NERO MICRO/LITE with my Nero 7 key. I then registered the .dlls and it worked minus the .dll C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeEacDec.dll (this didn't register under the elevated command prompt). Didn't need to do ANY of the registry stuff.

Now it works!

I went ahead and updated the EAC3TO Wiki FAQ on this question. Should prevent repeats of this

The DS filter issue with Nero 7 goes back to Windows 7 64bit. I found that if you install it on a Win7 32bit and then back up your DSFilter folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Ahead you can later use this to register/re-register the filters. After you install Nero 7, on Win 10 for example, you then copy your backed-up DSFilter folder to the one currently installed (this will also restore the ones that Nero install did NOT include). Then register all the .ax files using elevated privileges. I wrote a command file that I can "Run as Admin..." to do this, i.e.,

@echo off
@cd /d "%~dp0"
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /b *.ax') do regsvr32 "%%i" /s

I think way back I had done an install inside a VM on a Win7 32bit just for this purpose; to grab the DSFilter folder. It was painful.

It was true several years ago... but ¿is it still true today?
¿Time for an overdue update?

I read on dcadec's github page that the program is now deprecated and its development will now continue through ffmpeg. Will this be implemented in a future edition of eac3to as well? In the meantime, how should I replace dcadec with the latest ffmpeg manually? And where can we keep track of the latest developments on the decoding of DTS formats?

Hmm. Interesting.

https://github.com/foo86/dcadec/blob/master/README.md

This program is deprecated!

This decoder has been fully integrated into FFmpeg master branch and further development will continue there. Using FFmpeg for DTS decoding is now recommended.

I believe you can't. Madshi uses custom builds of lav/ffmpeg which he would need to update.

Only manual updates that don't cause lots of issues seem to be:
libFLAC.dll
libdcadec.dll
dtsdecoderdll.dll (although should be deprecated now; depending how far ff-dcadec has come)

The official git for FFMPEG shows a lot of activity (from foo86) for dcadec over his github page.

https://git.ffmpeg.org/gitweb/ffmpeg...ommit&s=dcadec

Thanks for pointing it out.

Will definitely have to keep my eyes open in the future.

Zeranoe builds should have all the latest commits, no?
Will have to adjust my workflow to use ffmpeg

FWIW: I've been using a not-so-recent x64-build of MPlayer, and thus far, its ffdca has decoded okay all the DTS sample-files and audio tracks I have (principally DTS Express and coreless Master Audio) — so yes, me too thinks the Arcsoft DLL should be used only "as a last resort", from now on... and preferably, without depending on DirectShow anymore...

There is a issue with unicode file names, processing works but output display has a problem:

D:\Projekte\VS\VB\StaxRip\bin\Apps\eac3to\eac3to.exe "D:\Temp\Video\Предприятий_temp\Предприятий ID2 English.flac" "D:\Temp\Video\Предприятий_temp\Предприятий ID2 English_out1.m4a" -quality=1 -normalize -downStereo -progressnumbers

FLAC, 2.0 channels, 0:00:43, 24 bits, 1731kbps, 44.1kHz
Decoding FLAC...
Writing WAV...
Creating file "D:\Temp\Video\???????????_temp\??????????? ID2 English_out1.m4a.pass1.wav"...

The <WARNING> is related to 24 fps, but the "aud2.thd" seems extracted fine.

The problem is that it's still an Atmos track. I'm trying to convert from Atmos to TrueHD.

[Music Fan]

I don't believe it's able to remove the Atmos part keeping only the THD part.

[duedel]

I just tested this:

ffmpeg -i "dtsHD_MA_track.dts" -bsf:a dca_core -c:a copy "dtsCore.dts"

produces a bit-idenctical file to

eac3to "dtsHD_MA_track.dts" "dtsCore.dts" -core

with a recent zeranoe ffmpeg build.
