CAN YOU CONVERT A DTS SOUNDTRACK ON A DVD TO DOLBY

[PCaddict]

I HAVE A DVD FILM WITH ONLY A DTS SOUNTRACK ON IT , CAN THIS BE COVERTED TO REMAIN A DVD(NOT REENCODED TO SVCD/VCD) BUT THE DTS ENCODED TO SOMETHING LIKE DOLBY 5.1 OR 2.0???

ANY INFO APPRECIATED

Yes. You just need to demux the audio from the video. Convert it to your desired output format, and then remux them together. TMPGenc's FILE->MPEG Tools will let you do this without re-encoding the video.

You can try AC3Machine, as it will allow VOB as a direct input, however, you'll need to join all of your VOB's into one file before doing this (give VOBMerge a try. It might be in the TOOLS section, or just search Google for it).

BeSweet does allow for DTS input, but I haven't tried that particular conversion of 6.1 DTS to 5.1 AC3.

I've also never tried AC3Machine with DTS audio, so I'm not sure it will work. Your mileage may vary...

It helps if you are not shouting.

DJ,

I have TMPGEnc, still, as far as I realized, it doesn't recognize the DTS track muxed into a MPEG2 file, are you sure about that ?

I've tried demuxing DTS with it, it only recognized PCM and AC3 streams....

Thanks,

Zetti

gitreel , soz bout that totally stressed out not even realized i had done that!!! doh.......!

this is from vob files not mpegs , can you rip the audio and then convert it to ac3 then put it back ???

or is it best to encode the dvd to mpeg then demux the audio , will it encode the dts???

i know i sound perhaps stupid! but i have encoded many films but i really have never messed about with audio and until now have never had this issue but as i only have a dts audio i would like to make this dvd into something i can watch AND LISTEN TO without the need of a dts encoder!


all input is very much appreciated.....

I would keep the sound as is. Demux the audio. Encode the MPEG, and remux , assuming you can find a tool that will multiplex DTS audio. I don't think TMPGenc will read DTS, muxing or otherwise...it won't even read AC3 without a plugin. If you can't find a tool that will handle DTS, then make sure you have the AC3 TMPGenc plugin if you plan to use AC3 audio with it.
