I've sort of nutted out how to get AC3 to encode properly, thanks mostly to the abbreviated article posted at doom9.
Now unless I've missed something the critical bit of info I need is the LAeq for the soundtrack. I'm told I can get a close approximation to this in Sound Forge from the RMS value of the soundtrack.
Surely any product that can be used to encode to AC3 should include this functionality, I don't think SoFo would be giving too much away to port that bit of code from Sound Forge into VV in the next release.
