A w64 file is not Atmos despite the initial source.

BTW to do a Slowdown you can use 'tempo' (preserve pitch also) or 'rate' (modify tempo and pitch) but if you use 'pitch' the duration is not changed.

I test it with a wav with 12 channels and work fine.

Lol, mistake in the script. Pitch was false, thx^^ Works fine with "tempo" and Multichannel W64.

I have created a little CLI based Audio decoder (supports Atmos, too). You can download here:
https://mega.nz/folder/hwF1SJyC#UajU9fy_QAiPJCpYwE2KNQ

For Atmos decoding you need installed Dolby Reference Player, for speed / amplify manipulation you need installed Avisynth+

DRC will be erased by default if you decode THD Atmos files. The Dolby Reference Player cannot erase DRC for eac3 JOC files. Simply use Cavernize for DRC Free encoding of eac3 JOC files.
Fun fact, Cavernize can demux the original Atmos masterfile including the original 3D metadata, for encoding a real OBI Atmos file. Works only with eac3 JOC, no THD support.

What a great set of tools

Just one question, atm I can only encode to eac3, (which is what I wanted anyway), but how to change the option to the other types available ??

Simply drag&drop the audio file (or supported container) over the script (Don't start the script and drop now).
After Analysing you have a little menu for changes. In the archive is a readme.txt what the options do.

Maybe you want say decoding?

Then you recommend use Cavernize to decode eac3 JOC files?

Yes. Cavernize Gui can decode EAC3-JOC files without DRC. Download is for freee here: https://cavern.sbence.hu/cavern/downloads.php

1) With the option Logfile = [ENABLED], it is not created and always I get:
El sistema no puede encontrar la ruta especificada. (The system can't found the path...)

2) With thd source I try some layouts without succes:
Demuxing Dolby TrueHD with Atmos [5.1.2] to WAV or;
Quote:

3) Without log and eac3 source work fine.
And yes, apply DRC, the Cavernize output seems don't apply it with high volume.
I use the 5.1.2 front in Cavernize [FL][FR][FC][LFE][SL][SR][TFL][TFR]
but with your soft can't use that layout, only [FL][FR][FC][LFE][SL][SR][TSL][TSR] and I found differences between [SL][SR][TFL][TFR] and [SL][SR][TSL][TSR] channels.
It is possible use that channel layout (like my audio system is) with your soft.

I test some samples comparing the eac3 Atmos output of Dolby Reference Player 5.1.2 and the Cavernize output 5.1.2 (front).

The wav output of Dolby Reference Player:
Code:

1) Wrong wav header for > 4 Gb (RIFF with only 16 bits for the sizes)
2) Invalid ChannelMask
3) Unexact size, the source eac3 is 53 m. 43.872 s.
4) Applied DRC until obtain a max_volume: -12.8 dB
Anyway can be used after Normalize to have a correct volume.

The Cavernize output:
Code:
File: C:\tmp\atmos\Cavernize.wav   Size:  4955308192 bytes
---------------------------------------------- Header Info
ChunkID .....: RF64
RiffLength ..:  4294967295

SubchunkID ..: data (Length: 4294967295)
Offset data .:  104 (WARNING: Extrachunks at end of file: 3440696 bytes)
Duration ....:  3223.872 sec., (0h. 53m. 43.872s.)
------------------------------------------------- End Info
[Parsed_volumedetect_0 @ 0000015d81065640] mean_volume: -29.5 dB
[Parsed_volumedetect_0 @ 0000015d81065640] max_volume: 0.0 dB
The unique problem is the Extrachunks at end of file but can be ignored because using the RF64 header the valid data are correct ad also the duration.
Correct MaskChannels and with float samples without clipping and max_volume: 0.0 dB then DRC is not applied.

Comparing the channels content seems equivalents, maybe in other samples there are little differences between SL SR TFL TFR from Cavernize and the last 4 channels from DolbyRP maybe because are SL SR TSL TSR.

Like my system is 5.1.2(front) (SL SR TFL TFR) I'll use and recommend Cavernize and let Dolby Reference Player for TrueHD only.

@tebasuna51,

Have you had any experience using Dolby Media Encoder ?

Nope, only with Dolby Encoder Engine.

1) Does not really matter. Not everyone supports W64.

3) Wrong. The source EAC3 does not have 53 m. 43.872 s., because all EAC3 have priming of at least 256 samples in the start AND may have some in the end. DRP removes them correctly.

4) It is likely it is impossible to decode Dolby EAC3 (at least with Atmos) without applied DRC. Because of artefacts if not applied and in some peaks

The Cavernize output is not W64 but RF64
And Audition 2017 read it directly without problems > 4GB files.
With the Dolby wrong simple wav output I need convert it to W64 or RF64 to be read correctly.

Maybe, is know than all encoders add some silent samples at the begining to initialize the encoder. With AC3 encoders add the 256 samples (5.33 ms at 48000 samples/s).

I'll make some test about this.

Quote:
4) It is possible it is impossible to decode Dolby EAC3 at least with Atmos without DRC. Because of artefacts if not DRc is applies and signal is same audio peaks
possible or impossible?

I don't think so, for what not apply DRC implies artifacts?
Cavernize do this and output float samples without clip in all my tests.

DRC can be a help for old weak players but must be a user option apply it when decode.
Apply it forced is a wrong option.

Not at all. Like decoder Dolby Reference Player don't work as you say.

1) Wav source of exactly 12.000000 seconds encoded to eac3 with Dolby Encoder Engine I obtain exactly 375 frames (32 ms/frame at 48000 Hz)
Decoded with ffmpeg I recover exactly the same 12.000 sec. without delay.
Decoded with DRP I recover also 12.000 sec but delayed 32 samples 0.667 ms.

2) Wav source of exactly 12.010000 seconds encoded to eac3 with Dolby Encoder Engine I obtain 376 frames (32 ms/frame at 48000 Hz=12.032 sec.)
Decoded with ffmpeg I recover 12.032 sec. without delay and filled at end with 22 ms of silence
Decoded with DRP I recover also 12.032 sec but delayed 32 samples 0.667 ms. and filled at end with 21.333 ms of silence.

" Decoded with ffmpeg I recover 12.032 sec. without delay and filled at end with 22 ms of silence "

FFmpeg does not support removing remainder, even on aac. And you want EAC3??

"Decoded with DRP I recover also 12.000 sec but delayed 32 samples 0.667 ms."

That is indeed bad then


I would love your source two files and 2 files encoded by Dolby EE

Off course not, but you claim than Dolby Reference Player do it and it is not true.
And DRP delay and cut the last 0.667 ms of the 12000 ms wav.
