Problems with 0.0.9u and decoding AC3 streams

[stshipley]

Hello All!

I am having a problem decoding AC3 streams created by MTR rips. Yes, I am a legal owner of the DVD in question. This happens regardless of what the target file is (AAC/MP3/MP2). Anyway, when I try to encode any AC3 stream ripped via MTR in ffmpegX 0.0.9u, I get errors indicating that it could not decode the stream. This was not a problem in previous versions of ffmpegx.

The really weird part is that ffmpegx 0.0.9u **CAN** decode AC3 streams from HDTV recorded from my EyeTV500.

So what's going on?

Could you post the exact message from the process output?

Major,

I will over lunch today, I can generate the message very quickly by selecing an audio only conversion.

Major,

Here is the terminal output:

If this error is related to a poor method of ripping from MTR, please let me know, but I didn't have this problem in the s or t revs of ffmpegX.

For comparision, this is the output when the same task is attempted with an EyeTV500 HDTV/AC3 file:

NEVER MIND, I figured it out.

I have to manually select the audio track on the audio page.

Thanks anyway!
