Florian, please, consider unofficial Dolby (AC3) support as Foobar2000 does.

There is a German thread from 2009 dealing with AC3:
> [@MPEG 4](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/mpeg-4/9415/2):
>
> MPEG 4 (mp4) ist ein Containerformat. D. h., dass das Format mp4 nur eine "Schachtel" darstellt, in der Medieninhalte gespeichert werden können, wie Videospuren (unter anderem Xvid oder DivX), Audiospuren (mp3, aac, ac3, ...), Kapitelmarkierungen, Untertitel und die Tags, die Mp3tag ausliest. mfG gnor
... if you convert/pack AC3 to MP4 then it is supported.

I tried to draw your attention to an already existing discussion.
Nothing more, nothing less.

It would have eased our discussion if you had either added your contribution directly to that thread or linked it in your topic starter post.
It is never quite clear whether a request is issued with just one particular solution in mind or more along the lines "I am looking for any solution for my problem, not just a particular one."
So just to be sure that the older discussion has not slipped through, I linked it and summarized it a little bit.
We'll see what happens to the request.
