Can't convert DTS to AC3 with eac3to

#1 07 Mar 2010 @ 12:42
I followed the instructions in this thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/683259

Using the GUI I see a pop-up (probably status windows) for a few milliseconds and it goes away. Nothing else happens.

I looked through the directories for any kind of log to help troubleshoot but not log exists.

I searched this forum and found BeSweet. I tried that and it just pops up a log.txt and does nothing as well.

It seems obvious I have an underlying issue at hand. Any help would be appreciated.

I got BeSweet to run. I've tried several different commands, here's one:

"D:\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe" -core( -input "e:\Videos\Movie1-DTS.track_4352.dts" -output "e:\Videos\Move1-DTS.track_4352.ac3" -logfilea "D:\BeSweet\BeSweet.log" ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) -boost( /b2=5 ) -ac3enc( -b 640 -6ch )

Here's part of the log:

The command output gives errors like:

Blocktype == 0 and window-switching == 1 not allowed.
fatal error. MAXFRAMESIZE not large enough.
