I did

eac3to source.thd destination.dts -1536
TrueHD, 5.1 channels, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Removing dialog normalization...
Decoding with DirectShow (Nero Audio Decoder 2)...
Getting "Nero Audio Decoder 2" instance failed.
I don't have Nero or Sonic installed, only Surcode 1.0.29. Seems like eac3to is trying to use Nero. How do I tell it to use Surcode?
You need to differ between *en*coding and *de*coding. You want to decode TrueHD and encode the result to DTS. eac3to will automatically be using Surcode for encoding. But before it can do that you first need to succeed in decoding the TrueHD track. For that purpose you can use the Nero decoder or the libav decoder. The older versions of eac3to used the Nero decoder by default, the new version is using libav by default now. You can force libav to be used by adding the "-libav" parameter.
