You can have 6.1 for DTS-HD MA, TrueHD, etc, but 6.1 PCM is considered problematic, which is not to say that some discs don't have it, or that it's out of spec (though madshi says here that it is). What documents I've read discussing the spec are not completely clear: "up to 8 channels" might mean that 7.0 is accepted but that 6.1 is not; as I understand it, the confusion between 7.0 is 6.1 is what prompted eac3to's default behavior for PCM output.
Anyway, it's been years since all this was hashed out, and I forget the specifics. I just remember that the received wisdom was either to convert 6.1 PCM to 7.1 for BD or to encode it to DTS-HD MA.
Right, there's more than pcm out there
So, is there a free way to encode 6.1 pcm to DTS-HD MA? Can eac3to do it?
