Hi guys, I'm trying to encode a 6.1 DTS to a 5.1 AAC track with eac3to (using NeroAacEnc.exe for the AAC conversion).

I've encoded the DTS straight to a wav:

Code:
eac3to input.dts output.wav -libav
(I can't get Arcsoft to work correctly so I figure I'll just use 5.1 with libav)

But this wav is not playable in any player, and when I try to encode it with NeroAacEnc.exe it gives me this error:

Code:
ERROR:  Invalid Channel Mask
In the logs, eac3to says it is extracting the core from the DTS, so shouldn't that bring it down to a 5.1 track that Nero would recognize? How do I convert a 6.1 DTS track to a 5.1 Wav that Nero will recognize and encode properly?

I'm just looking for as close of a lossless > 5.1 AAC solution as possible, and I would prefer to use the newest version of the Nero encoder. I am hesitant to encode from a low bitrate of 448kbps AC3 and would prefer to encode straight from the DTS source file.

thanks
