eac3to is a command line tool written by madshi to mostly work with audios (conversion) and raw, unencrypted Blu-rays (BDMV).

:::note Compatibility This is a Windows only software, although usage with Wine is possible. :::

:::caution Avoid using when possible There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use this software unless required by paleolithic private trackers, due to a bajillion dependencies needed that aren’t bundled with the download itself. Use something like FFmpeg instead. :::

  • Download from VideoHelp, drag and drop into your designated folder, add to PATH when necessary.

Examples:

Convert PCM audio to FLAC
eac3to source.pcm destination.flac
Convert TrueHD to FLAC while also extracting the AC-3 compatibility layer
eac3to source.thd destination.flac destination.ac3
