Re: Playing AC3/DTS tracks sourced from DVD

I've come across an ac3 file I'm having trouble converting from
Rammstein's Live Aus Berlin DVD. I tried the --persevere option, but no
dice. The file plays fine in foobar2000. Any idea what the problem is?

Code:
--------------------
    
  Reading input from file 11_Rammstein - Du Hast.ac3
  Writing output to file 11_Rammstein - Du Hast.ac3.wav
  Detected stream type: ac3
  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Program Files\SlimServer\spdifconvert\spdifconvert.py", line 834, in 
?
  spdif.go()
  File "c:\Program Files\SlimServer\spdifconvert\spdifconvert.py", line 650, in 
go
  frame = self.read_frame()
  File "c:\Program Files\SlimServer\spdifconvert\spdifconvert.py", line 372, in 
read_frame
  frame_data = frame_reader(magic, self.spdif_metadata, wav_header_info, 
is_first_frame)
  File "c:\Program Files\SlimServer\spdifconvert\spdifconvert.py", line 403, in 
read_ac3_frame
  frame_size = self.ac3_frame_size_table[sync_code & 0x3f][1][fscod]
  IndexError: list index out of range
  
--------------------

Great work by the way :)

I believe most DVD-A discs contain 2 or 3 copies of the album - an MLP
96/24 version, a DTS version, and/or an AC3 version (for playback on
non-DVDA players). As you ripped the DTS version, the tracks are most
likely 48/16. Ripping the MLP tracks is difficult due to DVD-A's copy
protection, and requires a particular version of WinDVD along with some
3rd party tools. See the 'wikipedia article'
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-A#Copy_protection) for more info.
