#3755 closed enhancement (duplicate)

E-AC-3 encoder does not support more than 6 channels encoding

Description

Summary of the bug:
How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v copy -c:a eac3 -channels 7 out.mkv
ffmpeg version 2.2.4
built on Jun 26 2014 19:58:30

I have a film with DTS-ES 6.1 channels audio. I want to encode the audio to EAC3, preserving the channels. Even when I specify -channels 7, the eac3 encoder encodes to a maximum of 6 channels

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

Duplicate of ticket #3595.

For future tickets: Please always provide your failing command line together with the complete, uncut console output.

Carl, it's not a failing command line. It has nothing to do with that. It's a unsupported feature

Replying to microchip:

Carl, it's not a failing command line. It has nothing to do with that. It's a unsupported feature

Next time you report an unsupported feature that manifests itself when running FFmpeg with unsupported combinations of valid options (like in this case calling the e-ac3 encoder with seven channels) please provide the command line that does not produce the intended output together with the complete, uncut console output to make the ticket valid.
