No, the Dolby Digital AC-3 format doesn't support more than 5.1. channels. However, Handbrake (and not FFmpeg in this case) does an exceptionally good job of mixing down 6.1 and 7.1 audio to that format. Remember that two goals of the script are reduction in size and portability, so this is expected.
I have a bunch of blu-rays which have audio that is converted from DTS-HD, to 8 channel FLAC. Regardless of whether I use the
--big
option or not, ffmpeg down mixes the 8 channels to 6 channel (5.1) AC-3 using libavcodec.Is there an option where I can encode the FLAC into 8 channel AC-3 at 640kbps? Is this even supported by the codec?
