Just curious, is this still working? I downloaded the installer but I don't understand how it works... Thank you very much!

The Aften encoder is not recommended at all, use ffmpeg instead (improved encoder, same author Justin Ruggles).

ffmpeg INPUT.wav -acodec ac3 -center_mixlev 0.707 -ab 640k OUTPUT.ac3

(or the desired bitrate)

If you need a GUI try UsEac3to or Clever FFmpeg
