I don’t understand why vvencapp is so much slower than uvg266? This is the same codec. Or not?
And how then can the 266 (or vvc) format be packaged into mkv? mkvtoolnix gives an error.

container: mp4 works with mp4box
for mkv: maybe (untested) ffmpeg supports it

Same format, not encoder, so probably a question of optimization.

eac3to v3.59

* Fixed some EAC3 7.1 streams detected and shown as 5.1.
* Fixed EAC3 6.1 streams detected and reported as 5.1.
* For EAC3 EX streams, display "EX" only on the core.

reports "The format of the source file could not be detected."
* Detect and report EAC3 Atmos.
* Disable DN for EAC3 Atmos as already done for THD.
* Improved reporting of DN events.
*Changed the format names for DTS-MA and DTS-HR to be consistent
with reporting for other formats.
* Removed dependency on msvcr100.dll (from zlib1.dll).
* Fixed issues arising when directly opening an M2TS file within a bluray structure,
rather than opening the disk.
* Refactoring of eac3to.dpr to improve readability/maintainability.

eac3to version 3.60

https://rationalqm.us/eac3to/eac3to_3.60.rar

* Fixed failure to detect format for several .ts file edge cases.
* Added a string to the end of the video report line that indicates: SDR/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG/DoVi.
* Fixed PGS sync for bluray/UHD disks. Tested successfully with LITTLE_MONSTERS and MONSTERS_UNIVERSITY.
* Implemented THD gaps correction (uses the DGDemux algorithm).
* thd+ac3 extension now works correctly. If you demux with thd+ac3 (e.g., eac3to g:\rips\DISC 2) 2: output.thd+ac3) then you'll get the .thd, the embedded .ac3, and the .thd+ac3 (all gaps-corrected). To get .thd and/or .ac3 without merging, just specify the individual tracks as usual.
* The thd+ac3 deprecation notice was removed from the notes file.
* Fixed a latent bug in THD parsing that could crash eac3to.
* When -showall is not given and a disk has no playlist longer than 15 min, then an error message
was given saying disk structure could not be found, which is misleading. The error message for
this case was changed to "All Blu-Ray playlists are shorter than 15 minutes. Try using -showall."
* Added warning about Nero decoding of mono AAC with wav output.
* Fixed missing forced subtitles when using the -forced option.
