Thank you, sir! And same to you.

I'm thinking of adding skip first/skip last to eac3to. That will take care of one of our open issues.

My question is how was this MKV made and why does it have 1500 ms of missing audio? Shouldn't the pathology be fixed at the source? EDIT: Now I see that the file was intentionally created with the large gap. Shoot yourself in the foot and then expect someone to jump through hoops to apply first aid?...

sorry for the delay guys you wudnt believe my excuse anyway (ask Britney)

i have some Kino Lorber disks on hand
will try to duplicate and address

thank the lard

ur welcome

He was online 2 days ago so he's just dissing us now. I'll let Bullwinkle know.

im not busy today didja want me to do it

One more thing, please. Since you said that 3.34 is OK while 3.52 is not OK. Can you provide the two respective chapter files so that I can diff them? Thank you.

@Peter

Any updates on the testing I requested, please? I am holding off buying this disk pending this information.

You probably won't like this answer, but because using the thd+ac3 extension is deprecated (help file: "use of the thd+ac3 extension is not recommended. Generate the thd+ac3 file externally using a fully correct procedure."), I have no time, energy, or motivation to change any functionality regardin...

But I'm wondering if running a second pass will decrease the audio quality by any significant amount, or if it's completely safe to do?

I am not aware of any cases where omitting -no2ndpass adversely affects quality, nor can I think of any theoretical reason for it to do so.

OK, thank you. Have you tried other players?

Another thing you can do is demux the video and then index and serve it with DGDecodeNV to VirtualDub2. Jump around and see if you can get seeking errors. If you don't have an nVidia card then never mind.

I tested with a randomly chosen disk: Boy and the Heron UHD. I went through your process with 3.52 and navigated to each chapter. Everything was fine. Let me ask a few more questions before I buy Halloween. 1. Is it only chapter 19 that fails on Halloween? 2. Have you seen this with other disks? 3. ...

Thank you. I will test with some disks I have and buy Halloween if needed.

Thank you for your report. Please give the eac3to command line and show the output for 3.34 and 3.52.

Also, please give a link to purchase the disk.

Thanks for your understanding, sir. Yeah the 5 day thing is annoying but apparently it works for them in some significant way. Post again if you turn up any issues with eac3to.

Greetings spinkeln! Welcome to the forum.

I know you won't like my answer but I have zero experience with any of this. Therefore, I'm going to advise you to try doom9 and/or videohelp for support on this matter. Feel free to post again, though, if you identify a specific bug in eac3to. Thank you.

Haven't had time to look at it yet.

There are a lot of occurrences of this generic "track is not clean" message. I don't have time to try to analyze them all to replace the messages with appropriate text. And I don't remember which one I had traced it to so as to modify just one of the messages. We have so much other (important) work ...

How does it know previously-made log files to get to that 5 limit? I.e. if I specify the log name, how would new eac3to processes know that some random text files are eac3to logs and delete the oldest one? I understand how it does it when there's no -nolog and no specified name. It's a eac3to-gener...

Thank you for the -nolog switch as it's much appreciated as well as your continued work on eac3to.

Thank you, AY!

Specifying a log file on the command line overrides -nolog.

Currently, there is always a limit of 5 log files. You can work around that by copying to a different name in your batch file.

Your requests about audio processing are noted but, honestly, are unlikely to be addressed.

eac3to 3.52:

* Added a -nolog INI file option.
* Fixed 2-pass FLAC with destpath defined. Island

just a sec, can't find my lunch

ta Superb
thing is with all the available workarounds
shud we really bother
wanna go forward not backward

That's great. Thank you for the update. If possible please continue using that version and let me know if you run into any regressions for other things. If all is well after a few days, I'll release it.
