ac3-enc and channel coupling

[Sycho]

I was doing some upmixes using EoH guide and encoded the final 6Channel wave to AC3 using besweet v1.4 and, well there does not seem to be any channel coupling, here's the log:

Well, yeah, there are reasons this encoder is not recommended...

[Sycho]

do you know of another way for a 17 year old working at McD's, making minimum wage, to encoded an AC3 file

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with using AC3enc. If you want head over to ffmpeg and ask them to implement channel coupling. But I'm not sure what you are asking with this thread.
