Eac3to "Clipping Detected...2nd Pass" --> Avi2DVD finds no audio stream

[Murk]

I'm currently trying to demux and remux an MKV file to switch the .dts audio to .ac3 in order to create an .iso in Avi2DVD but, and this is the first file that this has happened on, I continue to get a "Clipping detected, a 2nd pass will be necessary" message.

After the second pass is done and I remux the file and import into Avi2DVD, no audio stream comes up. I can't create the .iso file. The file plays fine on my computer in Zoom Player and/or VLC, but much like what would happen when I'd attempt to load an MKV w/ .dts audio, it never finds an audio stream but can successfully determine all of the other details about the video file.

Any ideas?

So zoom player and VLC can identify audio in the new mkv ?

There were changes to the mkv spec recently that includes audio header compression. avi2dvd probably hasn't been updated to reflect that, many software and hardware haven't been updated yet either.

You can either use older version of mkvtoolnix (4.0.0 or older) , or disable audio header compression in the settings

It looks like the version of mkvtoolnix that I was using was 1.7.0. I've also noticed that another file that I've recently done the same thing to another MKV, both of which have nearly identical specs with the exception of the frame rates (one is 24 the other is 23.9xx). They both use 6 channel DTS audio and the second MKV loads fine in Avi2DVD.

I've just attempted to convert again in eac3to and the clipping message has come through again.

Try avs2dvd instead

the one that is 24.0 fps will need to be converted to be compatible for DVD

Running that AVStoDVD program now and so far, so good. Thanks for the recommendation as it found the audio stream and seems to be working pretty well. I'll check back in if something fails during the conversion or the resultant file doesn't work for whatever reason.
