If anyone wants to get SurCode DTS Encoder working on Windows 10 this is how it goes:

1) Get the "SurCode DVD-DTS Professional" Setup, you can buy it at https://www.minnetonkaaudioshop.com/...3001-00106-000
2) Get "UniExtract" from https://www.legroom.net/software/uniextract (you want the "UniExtract Binary Archive" which is the "portable" version)
3) Start UniExtract.exe and select the Data1.cab from the "SurCode DVD-DTS Professional" zip. - It will extract the contents into a directory called "data1".
4) Create a directory called "Minnetonka Audio Software" inside "C:\Program Files (x86)"
5) Copy or Move directory "data1" into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minnetonka Audio Software"
6) Rename directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minnetonka Audio Software\data1" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode DVD-DTS"
7) Create a new text document on your Desktop or somewhere else and rename the file "install.reg". Make sure it is not called "install.reg.txt" (show file-extensions). It should have a green-ish icon in front of the filename.
8) Copy&Paste the text from the quote-block below into that "install.reg" file.
9) Double-click the "install.reg" file and let Windows import the Registry settings.
10) run eac3to.exe -test and you should have SurCode support.
11) Activate your copy of "SurCode DVD-DTS Professional".

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\surcodedvd.exe]
"Path"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Minnetonka Audio Software\\SurCode DVD-DTS"
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Minnetonka Audio Software\\SurCode DVD-DTS\\surcodedvd.exe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Minnetonka Audio Software]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode DVD-DTS]
"Home"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Minnetonka Audio Software\\SurCode DVD-DTS"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Minnetonka Audio Software\SurCode DVD-DTS\1.0.10]
Q: Why?
A: Because the Installer used by Minnetonka for the SurCode DVD-DTS Encoder is so old it doesn't run on Windows 10 (even though it just copies files from A to B and writes some Registry values, nothing fancy).

Q: Is this piracy?
A: No. We just eliminate that crappy Installer. Activation of the product is done by the surcodedvd.exe itself.

Q: But I can use the encoder already without activating it. So this is piracy?
A: Congratulations, you have found the trial period :)
