What is the problem?

Of course there are very light differences between decoders but jruggle (ffmpeg developer in AC3 area) minimize the problem.
eac3to uses libav to decode AC3 to 64 bits float (the best resolution), and libav was actualized in eac3to v3.27 (the test was made with 3.24).
I'm trust in the AC3 expert (jruggle) about that.

BTW, if you prefer use a class "A" free decoder liba52 you can use BeHappy with NicAudio to decode AC3.

... Is it better to use it when decoding "regular" 5.1 DTS tracks?... AFAIK, a decoder that is able to decode a specific format (without bugs) should give exactly the same result than another decoder, and therefore there is no advantage to use the slow Arcsoft decoder when decoding a DTS tracks that the libav decoder can also decode properly. Am I right?
Lossy decoders not always output exactly the same result.
There are light differences (like with AC3 in precedents posts).
ArcSoft is a "certified" decoder, libav a free decoder.
It's your choice.

I am having a problem trying trying to decode a TrueHD to anything, wavs, w64, wav or flac. I get the following log:

bitstream parsing for track 2 failed
demuxing this track may still produce correct results - or not.
This audio conversion is not supported.

The eac3to info says:
2: TrueHD, English, 7.1 channels, 48KHz

The mediainfo says:
Audio #1
ID : 2
Format : TrueHD
Codec ID : A_TRUEHD
Duration : 2h 2mn
Bit rate mode : Variable
Maximum bit rate : 7 719 Kbps
Channel(s) : 8 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, Back: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Compression mode : Lossless
Language : English
Default : Yes
Forced : No

I have demuxed using mkvtoolnix and changed the extension to .ac3, .thd+ac3 and .truehd and when I try to look at it with eac3to it just says The format of the source file could not be detected.

tsmuxer won't recognize it and vidcoder (handbrake) doesn't even acknowledge it is there.

Could this be some new form of protection from Dolby. Do I need to update a codec or something.

Could it by Dolby atmos - is there a decoder for that?

*Edit: My apologies, due to bad searching I didn't find the posts about using ffmpeg.

Is there a way to determine if the above track I was talking about is Dolby Atmos. Is that what the A in A_TrueHD stands for? If Yes, then:

I just want to be certain. If I have an .mkv file or a Bluray folder with a 5.1 or 7.1 TrueHD (atmos) track and use the following command, it will output the lossless TrueHD extracted audio in a flac file with proper channel mapping?

ffmpeg -i "my file or folder" -map 0:1 "extracted_audio.flac"

The case of the movie should tell you if it has Dolby Atmos.

That must work for the second track of a input file (tested .m2ts or .mkv).
I don't know what happens with a folder input.

I tried replacing the avcodec-54.dll and avutil-52.dll files with newer versions from the latest version of Zeranoe FFmpeg, but eac3to gives me an error that the dll is missing.

What am I doing wrong?

As a side question; is there any other tool/method for converting DTS or dolby audio besides eac3to?

You can certainly convert DVD Video compatible dts or Dolby Digital audio with other tools, like BeHappy or MeGUI, maybe TEncoder. HD audio from Blu-rays is probably not widely supported though.

The dll's for eac3to aren't the standard dll's, must be compiled for eac3to by madshi.

The answer is in your first question: ffmpeg

Try TAudioConverter (ffmpeg)
Or AviSynth based BeHappy/MeGUI like LigH say.

Bug? DTS-MA 1.0ch (mono!) -> WAV/FLAC broken

Hello!
Config:
Code:
C:\TMP>C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe -test
eac3to (v3.27) is up to date
Nero Audio Decoder (Nero 6 or older) doesn't seem to be installed
...
ArcSoft DTS Decoder (1.1.0.8) works fine
Sonic Audio Decoder (3.27.0.0) doesn't seem to be installed
I got some problems with a DTS-HD MA Mono file:
10MB snippet: http://www.file-upload.net/download-...est.dtsma.html
Code:
C:\TMP>C:\eac3to\eac3to.exe test.dtsma
DTS Master Audio, 1.0 channels, 24 bits, 48kHz
(core: DTS, 1.0 channels, 24 bits, 768kbps, 48kHz)
Transcoding to WAV / FLAC / ... results in a sped up audio file.
Only way to handle this is extracting the DTS-core and convert the DTS afterwords.
However, MPC-HC is able to play the original .dtsma file. So the ArcSoft DTS Decoder does work for this file?
Any hints on what to do?

You should maybe try ArcSoft DTS Decoder v1.1.0.0 instead of 1.1.0.8 for this file.

eac3to extract.wav extract.dts
Madshi, any ETA when you'll be able update to discard the Atmos extensions? I'm finding it in more and more BDs.

Thanks.
