Dolby Digital (DD)

Perfect for legacy compatibility and smaller file sizes.

Examples

deezy encode dd input.mkv
deezy encode dd --channels 6 --bitrate 448 input.mkv
deezy encode dd --output "output.ac3" --keep-temp input.mkv

Channel options: 0 (AUTO), 1 (MONO), 2 (STEREO), 6 (5.1 SURROUND)

Common options: --bitrate, --drc-line-mode, --stereo-down-mix

Tip

For rare 5.0 sources, DeeZy can insert a silent LFE to produce a 5.1 output (uses the 5.1(side) layout). This behavior is opt-in via --upmix-50-to-51.

Note: You should also pass --channels 6.

Advanced options: --track-index, --delay, --custom-dialnorm, --metering-mode, --no-dialogue-intelligence, --speech-threshold
