So if I want to extract a DTS file for example, it is recommended to use ArcSoft with eac3to instead of libav? I guess eac3to downmixes the the 7 channels to 5.1 automatically.

I noticed something weird, tebasuna51. If I have a proper 5.1 channels DTS file and encode it with NicAudio while keeping the same channels etc. but with a constant bitrate, Nero marks the AAC file with a constant bitrate of 640. However, if I use the audio sample, Nero marks the audio file with a variable bitrate.

I presume I have to live with it, do you have any other suggestions that would allow me to fix this issue? I'll try to convert the file to AC3 and see what are the results. Although, AAC is superior in sound quality compared to AC3.
