How can I remove Dolby Atmos from Dolby Digial E-AC3 5.1?

[wajih94]

I have an audio track in an .mkv file with these info:

Format : E-AC-3 JOC
Format/Info : Enhanced AC-3 with Joint Object Coding
Commercial name : Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos
Codec ID : A_EAC3

I use MKVToolNix on mac and I couldn't find a way where I can make that track just E-AC3 and remove the Atmos components.
Is there a way to do that? thanks.

You can use audacity to convert to ac3 640kbps but not e- but others might have more info.I moved your thread to the mac forum where you can get more help.

Unless your A/V equipment can play Dolby Atmos it will have no effect on your system. If you have access to a PC there is the Popcorn Audio Converter than can turn the track into a straight AC3 in situ.

You could try with clever FFmpeg-GUI
