Good morning
I apologize for my question, as far as the EAC3 Encoder is concerned, bitrate values higher than 640 Kb / s are not expected?
Thank you

Surely that's a limitation (design flaw) in the GUI
(btw, could you please name it?).

Besides, just like .dca (DTS "coherent acoustics"), the .eac3 compression has no predefined set of "allowed bitrates".

I tried to force the settings, manually entering the value of 1509 kb/s.
The procedure started regularly with the set bit-rate value.
The only limitation that the maximum number of channels that can be managed is 6, the initial test track is 8ch (7.1).
I don't know how it is possible to manage 8 ch tracks.

I had a go this morning trying to generate an 8 channel EAC3 encode using an 8 channel PCM source. I also obtained a 6 channel EAC3 elementary stream.

As a bit of an addition...

I also created a 6 channel EAC3 encode at 1536 Kbps using one of my DTS audio CD's as a source. And I have to say that the playback results are very good indeed.

The GUI is UsEac3to, and yes is a GUI limit, I can't understand for what we can need more than 640 Kb/s for lossy 5.1

If it were possible to manage 8 channels, it would be fantastic.

The reason why ffmpeg won't encode E-AC3 with >6 channels is not really obvious to me. And I am obviously wrong with my guessed reason...

Noone has spent time making it, and noone seems interested in doing so unless someone is willing to pay for it?

Thats as logical a reason as for anything. People usually work on one of two things: Stuff they have a personal interest for, or stuff other people pay them for.

In my opinion 7.1 don't offer a better 2D surround than 5.1, I think is a commercial placebo, then for me is ok the ffmpeg behaviour.

Other question is Atmos 3D surround.

ffmpeg will not support eac3 7.1 encode, just forget it and go


my question: is it possible to cut the end of the file using eac3to? like cut 10s, we can cut the beginning with simple -10000ms but..

anyway for cutting like this ffmpeg is pretty handy, eac3to doesn't come with this function i guess

Not sure for eac3to, but I use mkvtoolnix to losslessly cut any audio file. Just mux it to MKA, and use the Split After specific timestamps feature (in the Output tab) to split it where you want. Then, you can extract the part you need from the MKA segment with gMKVExtractGUI.

I think only if you specify the length with -edit. E.g. if the file is 1h30m long and you want to cut the last 10 seconds:
Code:
eac3to "input.eac3" "output.eac3" "-edit=1:29:50,-10000ms"
(Or maybe make the "-10000" to e.g. "-11000ms" to have some reserve for rounding/alignments.)

If you know the movie length, for instance 1:50:40.000 you can cut the 10 last seconds with:

-edit=1:50:30.000,-10000ms

EDIT: to slow to make the test

People will pay IF:

1) the price of the new encoder is lower than the price of the "official"/certified encoders

&&

2) the price of the new encoder is declared publicly;
I mean, no "send me an email and I'll tell you how much it will cost",
alright
