44Khz DTS wav file to 48Khz Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 Conversion

[Nawtwrong]

I have a file which is in DTS format, 44Khz, and has a .wav extension.

I cannot play it on the PC but can play it as an audio CD in my DVD player, so I know it is a 6ch file. I want to use it with a video for a dvd project.

How would I go about converting it from 44Khz to 48Khz without any loss in quality or speed problems and how can I convert it to a 5.1ch Ac3 file

Thanks for you help in advance............

any loss in quality

can't be done really , as it is a lossy format for one...

"DTS format, 44Khz, and has a .wav extension"

Are you sure it's 6ch DTS? Did it come from a DVD-AUDIO disc?

The DTS creating software can create 5:1 DTS , used for audio DTS cd's and that have a wav extension ..

they are 20 or 24 bit instead of 16bit usually though (not always) ..

I have a big collection of them as well as the software and hardware to encode DTS formats ..

It's definately 6ch as I say I burned it to CD and played it through my DVD player and DTS decoder. I'm wanting to use it as a soundtrack on a DVD and wish to preserve the 6ch.

I've tried running it through besweet and I still get hiss when I play it back

since far as i know - there isn't a dts decoder (dts to wav) around (maybe there is) ..

all you could do really would be to capture the analog 6 channel , change the sample rate, and re-encode it to DTS (if you have a dts encoder) or ac3.

you would lose some quality to say the least ...


i suspect you can use use 'WaveOut fix' - which allows you to use the SPDIF output easily without using Graphedit ..

'WaveOut fix' is on the doom9 web site if its not here ...
