If you're running vista or windows7, use windows explorer to browse to the folder containing the eac3to program (assuming that you've already copied your source. Where 'bitrate' is some value like 192, 448, ect. The basic command line for eac3to (for aac to ac3) is pretty simple: ac3 file gets saved in the same folder so I just copy it after to the folder where I have the video component. aac file into the folder/directory with eac3to. The log shows 2ch aac conversion but of course multichannel will work just as well. It is available in the mirror at videohelp (link referenced earlier in this thread).ДЄlso, you will see from the log that eac3to uses libAften to encode the ac3, nothing additional is needed.

If you must use the GUI, you will find that all of the links to it in the doom9 thread are dead. In my opinion, the GUI just makes it more complicated when the command line is so simple (see log above). Question 3: What program should I use to mux the final streams together (h264 and ac3) and what container is appropriate (mkv)?Д¬ommand line: eac3to Hulu_E01_Vanished-Pilot_H264_1Mbps.aac Hulu_E01_Vanished-Pilot_H264_1Mbps.ac3 -192Дecoding with DirectShow (Nero Audio Decoder 2).ДirectShow reports 2.0 channels, 24 bits, 48khzД¬reating file 'Hulu_E01_Vanished-Pilot_H264_1Mbps.ac3'.Дone.It works with the eac3to GUI as well you start from the second tab 'Eac3to Audio'. Question 2: What program should I use to convert the aac to an ac3? Please suggest ideal settings like Encapsulation (in VLC I picked RAW), bit rate, and sample rate for great 5.1 playback. I have downloaded and installed the ac3 filter and tried to use dBpoweramp and VLC player to convert the aac to ac3 but no luck. I have never worked with codecs or demuxвЂ™ed and muxвЂ™ed anything before. I am having trouble finding a program to convert the aac into an ac3.

I have not had much luck with this method so far, here is what I have accomplished:ДЇor my first attempt, I have used a program called YAMB to Demux an mp4 into 2 streams: Question 1: Is this the most efficient/easiest method? If not please suggest otherwise. The easiest way I think to do this is to demux the mp4 in to its separate video and audio streams, converting the aac into and ac3 and mux the original video stream and the new ac3 stream together. The majority of movies seem to include an aac stream and not an ac3, but I am determined to have 5.1 playback. When I switch to stereo I get 2ch playback as expected.

I attempted to playback an mp4 ( 2 streams: h264 and aac) with WDMP audio output set to digital I get no sound as expected. My ultimate goal is to convert all of my movies so that I can utilize the SPDIF pass thru connection on my WD Media Player to achieve 5.1 surround playback via my DTS and DD compatible audio receiver.
