there hasnt been any activity in the dcadec department on github for 2 months now. can we conclude from that the development of the decoder is finished and everything is working?

The -core parameter only applies to DTS-HD, according to this: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to...nd_Line_Syntax I don't use eac3to via the command line much. I tend to use the HD Streams Extractor built into MeGUI instead (or there's a standalone version here). But I tried a few extractions and checked the command line MeGUI was using. The same TrueHD+AC3 stream was selected each time. When extracting both streams as a single file with a thd+ac3 extension: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "E:\Video\" 1) 3:"D:\F1_T3_Audio - English.thd+ac3" -progressnumbers TrueHD only: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "E:\Video\" 1) 3:"D:\F1_T3_Audio - English.thd" -progressnumbers AC3 only: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "E:\Video\" 1) 3:"D:\F1_T3_Audio - English.ac3" -progressnumbers Or when opening the m2ts file directly, rather than let the HD Streams Extractor open the whole disc and find the appropriate mpls file, or whatever it does. "C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "E:\Video\BDMV\STREAM\00007.m2ts" 3:"D:\T3_Audio - English.ac3" -progressnumbers Quote:
Hopefully the info above will help you out. Last edited by hello_hello; 24th July 2015 at 05:18. |

@turab
Yes, AAC support 6.1 channel configuration, but a DTS-ES Matrix have only 5.1 discrete channels, the Back Center channel is mixed in surround channels. AFAIK AAC headers don't have any flag to inform the player about that. But I think than is not necesary, you can recode your DTS to a 5.1 AAC and, if you have a 5.1 audio speakers you can listen the Back Center like a fantom channel, if you have a 6.1 audio speakers your receiver/amplifier maybe can extract the Back Center channel for you. There are a option, not recommended, to convert a 6.1 Matrix in 6.1 discrete channels: 1) Decode 6.1 Matrix to 6 wavs with eac3to 2) Use SL and SR wavs to create a stereo wav (with Sox, WaveWizard or any audio editor like Audacity) 3) Use CenterCutGUI to create 3 channels 4) Make a 6.1 wav replacing SL/SR with the 3 new channels and encode to AAC

With CenterCut I have created a center.wav and a sides.wav from the combined stereo SL-SR.wav. - Do you use the center.wav as the center back channel? - How do you create the wavs for replacing the SL and SR channel? Is this accomplished by converting the stereo center.wav to a center-left.wav and center-right.wav? greetz |

@Mike
hello friends I'm here with a doubt ..
I have a 384kbps audio to and can convert to 640kbps It is allowed to convert audio unless kbps kbps for more ... Or it can only be converted and is allowed to convert more kbps audio for less ... thank you |

but eac3to/libav ac3 encoder has wrong bandwidth in lower Bitrates for 5.1 like 384 (14 kHz) / 448 (16 kHz) vs Studio AC3 384 (18 kHz) / 448 (20 kHz) To Save all Frequencies (no cutoff) from Source AC3 to Reencode AC3 with eac3to (libav), the min. Bitrate for 384/448 kbps is 576 kbps @ 5.1, but 640 kbps are better choise because lossy Encode from lossy Source. A Speedup for AC3 5.1 384 raise Frequencies near 20 kHz, so u need more Bitrate/Bandwidth for Reencode. ........ Better use Surcode for AC3 Encoder for lower Bitrates, or AftenGui and EncWAVtoAC3 have bandwith Option from -2 to 60 (5.1 384 kbps 18kHz = 40 / 5.1 448 kbps 20kHz = 48)

To not lose quality, preferably don't recode (if the source format is supported by the target device). If you convert between different formats (e.g. multichannel AAC to AC3), you may of course use different bitrates because the codecs have different efficiency.

The common parts between SL-SR are extracted to BC channel and elimitated from original SL-SR to output a new pair SL'-SR'. Only DTS-ES 6.1 discrete have info to do a better channel separation: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-rec...ml#post4224284

2) Of course if you own a commercial certified encoder maybe the output is better than use free AC3 encoders. Thats can't be discussed here. 3) But remember than quality is not only bandwith, at same bitrate you can choice between lose bandwith or lose precission. 4) I make a test encoding a Test.waw 5.1 48 KHz with different options: Test-Aften-w40-384.ac3 (18 KHz) Test-Aften-w48-448.ac3 (20 KHz) Test-eac3to-384.ac3 (14 KHz) Test-eac3to-448.ac3 (16 KHz) Test-ffmpeg-384.ac3 (18 KHz) Test-ffmpeg-448.ac3 (20 KHz) Test-SoftEncode-384.ac3 (18 KHz, default like Studio AC3) Test-SoftEncode-448.ac3 (20 KHz, default like Studio AC3) I used spek to see bandwith, I upload the images here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/egd7tu 5) Remember than eac3to can use the external encoder Aften to override the default parameters used with eac3to: eac3to Test.wav stdout.wav | Aften -b 448 -w 48 - Test-Aften-w48-448.ac3 6) Now ffmpeg is the free AC3 recommended encoder.

To obtain a full surround (plane) audio image for a listener with only two ears 5.1 speakers is more than enough. Systems with 6.1 or 7.1 speakers only want gain more money. Do you have a ear in the nape? Your ears only listen a mix SL/BC and SR/BC or SL/BL and SR/BR.

Because it don't need more Bandwidth. or better use Bandwith near the Source Frequencies, maybe 18kHz = 40 or 16 kHz = 32 or whatever. Eac3to/libav use Bandwidth @ 60 (24kHz) for 5.1 AC3 640 Kbps 2) Aften looks best to the Source but SoftEncode looks Crapy !
