You got a reply to your question *directly* under your question. Put your glasses back on!

Edward will work with the next eac3to version and all channels will have the correct volume, but the surround channel will not be bit perfect (the other 3 channels will be bit perfect) when decoding with ArcSoft. Decoding with Sonic will result in all channels being bit perfect with the next eac3to version.

Unfortunately there's nothing I can do about the Hi-Def demo DTS track.

Strange, it works for me. Please post your command line and the full eac3to log.

I don't think that's right. DTS-ES Matrix is decoded as 5.1 by all decoders. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is correctly decoded to 6.1 by the ArcSoft decoder, I think (if you're sure that I'm wrong here I'd be happy about a sample). The Sonic decoder decodes DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 to either 5.1 or 6.1, depending on which channel extension is used. Sonic supports 6.1 XCh, but not 6.1 XXCh. libav DTS decoding is generally limited to 5.1.

Yeah, that explains the problem. The Sonic DTS-Decoder doesn't support XXCh. That's why this DTS track is decoded as 5.1, only, while eac3to thought it would be decoded as 6.1. I guess I need to make eac3to aware of that Sonic sometimes decodes 6.1 as 5.1 and sometimes as 6.1... <sigh>

If possible, a small sample of the DTS track would be a nice addition for my sample collection.
