I have read that DD+ is "transparent" to AV receiver, in the way that, if not supported, it is dynamically transcoded to AC3. Is it true? |
There are no parameters for E-AC-3, except for DRC. You just set it like AC-3 and it does its job. With E-AC-3 you can get the same quality but at lower bitrate than AC-3. I personally encode for years to E-AC-3 5.1 (160 kbps/chan) @ 960 kbps for true transparency. I find higher bitrate doesn't improve things
Yes, AVRs that do not support E-AC-3 will on-the-fly transcode it to AC-3. But this depends on the AVR. Some just give an error about not supported audio codec
