Configuration

All confguration files are in plain text format. Each configuration file has different structure. Edit the files and check the sources to find out more about how this files are created. Each configuration file is automaticaly loaded/saved by program every time the program is started/closed.

  • Program configuration is stored in EncWAVtoAC3.config file.
  • Presets for encoder are stored in EncWAVtoAC3.presets file.
  • Paths to libaften.dll engines are stored in EncWAVtoAC3.engines file.
  • User interface trasnlation files are located in Lang sub-directory.
  • Translation files must be saved with Unicode charset and BOM header.

AviSynth Support

To run 64-bit version you need to install avisynth64:

Additional help and informations is available here:

Running avisynth requires properly setup Input Options (e.g. override wave header settings).

You can double-click in the file list on avisynth script to get e.g. number of audio channels.
