Again, if you have properly installed Surcode, these registry values should be set.
I looked under Minnetonka Audio Software and found 2 folders: SurCode DVD DTS and SurCode Dolby Digital Premiere.

DVD DTS had the following: (Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
Dolby Digital had the following: (Default) REG_SZ

In that case, I'm assuming there should be a folder labeled SurCode DVD-DTS? and that SurCode DVD-DTS and SurCode DVD DTS are both missing a Home folder?

I think you can just use piping to do what you need. Tebasuna has a post from a week or 2 back, I think, that shows how to use eac3to with an external encoder so search back to his posts.

[EDIT] Here's the post: tebasuna51 knows all

I'm using PS3 and frequently removing dialog normalization with ea3to with no such issue.
I was just gonna say the same thing: I always remove dialog normalizatiion and never have an issue with it on my PS3; so let's not fix it if it ain't broken.

Read the post.

He said the fix he's going to implement won't affect the users that aren't having an issue. Stop saying not to fix it if there are users having issues with it. Just cause the issue doesn't effect you doesn't mean it isn't effecting others. Again, the fix he's planning will not effect you or the others that aren't currently having an issue with it, but it probably will help us that are having the issue, so why bother asking him not to fix it...

Don't worry, with DialNorm = 31 all is ok.
I always use 31 instead 0 and work fine.

If I'm understanding this conversation, after the change, by setting dialnorm = 0, it would be the same as the default is now, won't it?

eac3to lists the 7.1 DTS-HD MA track of the nordic black hawk down edition with "(strange setup)" and "CAUTION: Decoding this track with ArcSoft results in low volume" , so heres a sample in case you are interested.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/n675tw

Code:
eac3to v2.84
command line: eac3to moviepath 1) 2: X:\hawk.mkv 4: X:\hawk.flac 4: X:\hawk.dtsma
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M2TS, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 4 subtitle tracks, 2:23:43
1: Chapters, 12 chapters
2: h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
3: AC3, English, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48khz
4: DTS Master Audio, English, 7.1 (strange setup) channels, 16 bits, 48khz
   (core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 16 bits, 1509kbps, 48khz)
5: Subtitle (PGS), Swedish
6: Subtitle (PGS), Danish
7: Subtitle (PGS), Norwegian
8: Subtitle (PGS), Finnish
CAUTION: Decoding this track with ArcSoft results in low volume.
[v02] Extracting video track number 2...
[a04] Extracting audio track number 4...
[a04] Extracting audio track number 4...
[v02] Muxing video to Matroska...
[a04] Decoding with ArcSoft DTS Decoder...
[a04] Encoding FLAC with libFlac...
[a04] Creating file "X:\hawk.dtsma"...
[a04] Creating file "X:\hawk.flac"...
[a04] The last DTS frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped.
[a04] The original audio track has a constant bit depth of 16 bits.
[a04] The last DTS frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped.
Added fps value to MKV header.
Video track 2 contains 206735 frames.
eac3to processing took 52 minutes, 6 seconds.
Done.

so I guess arcsoft does not process this track very well, is the channel order wrong? what would be if i used sonic instead, would these 5.1 channels then be the same 5.1 channels of a regular 5.1 track or would there be some mixing up? does 5.1 have the rear or side positions and are these 5.1 positions the same in 7.1 (when tracks are decoded with eac3to & played with madflac)?

Alos tried this one and got som kind of static noise in the by eac3to created FLAC. I guess the ArcSoft decoder does something wrong ...

got a problem with a H264 50i cap, when I try to slow it down to 23.976fps the audiotrack length increases to >5h (duration of video seems to be fine). might be a problem, because the track is rcognized by eac3to as 2.0, while its supposed to be 5.1. Already tried to fix it with delaycut, as Tebasuna once said with that flag that indicates a channel switch, but delaycut didn't report such a thing for this track here.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/iq4hgv

Code:
eac3to v2.84
command line: eac3to movie.ts G:\movie.mkv -slowdown
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TS, 1 video track, 1 audio track, 1:50:05
1: h264/AVC, 1080i50 (16:9)
2: AC3, 2.0 channels, 384kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB, -732ms

[a02] Extracting audio track number 2...
[a02] Removing AC3 dialog normalization...
[a02] Decoding with DirectShow (Nero Audio Decoder 2)...
[v01] Muxing video to Matroska...
[a02] DirectShow reports 2.0 channels, 24 bits, 48khz

[a02] Encoding AC3 <448kbps> with libAften...
[a02] Creating file "G:\movie - 2 - AC3, 2.0 channels, 384kbps, 48khz.ac3"...
[a02] The last (E-)AC3 frame is incomplete and thus gets skipped.
Added fps value to MKV header.
Video track 1 contains 330251 frames.
eac3to processing took 23 minutes, 52 seconds.
Done.

Yes. But as he's stated, 31 is the same as using 0, so the new default will be the same except it will help us with decoders that don't process a value of 0 correctly.

I understand that, I was just pointing out for the ones that are worried about the change, that if they set the value to 0, it will be identical to what they have now.
