A while ago I was able to convert HD-DVD disc audio to flac without issue, but I am really struggling today. Maybe it's because my source disc splits the program into two separate files. I'm not sure. Here is the file list:
So there is FEATURE_1.EVO and FEATURE_2.EVO. I did a lot of Googling on this.
First off, I tried MakeMKV which chugs along, then crashes when it should finish. So I researched and found that if I went back to version 1.9.9 it would work better with HD-DVD. It showed the disc structure better, but it still crashed at the end.
I then continued reading and found that there was a program called HandBrake. I downloaded that and tried it. I got it to create MP4's out of the .EVO's and they actually play with Media Player and VLC player, but Foobar and/or AudioMuxer cannot get audio out of them.
I then tried tsMuxeR. Created .ts files and then .mt2s files of those .EVO's, and again, nothing works and I get errors like "Invalid Media Stream" at the end.
A feature of tsMuxeR is it allows you to JOIN the two pieces, so I tried that, thinking that was the issue. Well, it worked out fine creating a single .ts file that played with VLC player but nothing I have can get at the audio in that .ts file.
NOTE: I tried Output to: TS Muxing, M2TS Muxing, Blu-Ray Folder, AVCHD Folder and Demux.
I am thinking that I am fighting some type of copy protection or something else.
So, I just figured I ask here in case on of you experts have ever run up against this issue. I know, HD-DVD, not the "topic of the day", but still, they're out there and maybe this thread can help someone in the future. Even if it helps them NOT waste their time trying this.
Thanks
