DTS nightmare goes on

[vertical]

Hi,

I am still fighting with DTS stream trying to convert it to AC3.

I tried ASPEN with FOO200 but it does not work for me. ASPEN never converts it to the end.

BeSweet looks like work for MKV but I deal with .TS

I also tried Procoder 3 (to convert the whole .TS including the Audio) but the resulting AC3 or MPEG (m2a) files that come out separately from the video file have no audio, just dead. I posted it on their forum but no clear answer so far.

I googled whatever I could but could not find any reliable solution. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Were you able to successfuly demux the .DTS track from the TS file ? Assuming you could, run it through DTSParser

See if the fixed file plays on your PC. That's the first step.


Then run the FIXED dts file through Tranzcode

you may not be able to. you don't say where the original is from but if it's DTS-HD then it's possible it's 7.1 with up to a 25mbps bitrate. i haven't run across anything yet that will convert that.

Hi,

Yes, I have extracted it with TsRemux. The original is from HD.

Soopafresh, thanks, I will try and post here back.

If I cannot convert it, is there any way to put it back on the DVD? Probably the running time would be different....

[Soopafresh]

aedipuss, Eac3to might work on that type of file

Download both the command line exe AND the GUI. Place both in same folder.

thanks for the tip soopafresh

Demuxing doesn't remove anything, so there is no need to "put it back". You might consider just buying the DVD version of whatever this is rather than dealing with a ripped file you got off the internet, but it's your time. Also note that HD sources are NOT valid for DVD, so you should stop using the term "DVD" right now because you aren't dealing with a DVD at all.

jman98,

HD files can be obtained noy only form the Internet but from TV broadcasting.

"that HD sources are NOT valid for DVD" - I am not sure I understand you right as I create DVDs from the sources that have 25% - 30% higher quality picture than a regular DVD.

jman98,

Indeed, but ZERO broadcasts have DTS sound, hence you have either a BluRay or HD-DVD rip. Trying to lie about what you have doesn't really help you get good advice here. My advice still stands - you can buy the video on DVD and stop beating your head against the wall in trying to deal with HD sound on this rip.

"that HD sources are NOT valid for DVD" - I am not sure I understand you right as I create DVDs from the sources that have 25% - 30% higher quality picture than a regular DVD.

High def sources MUST be converted to be valid for DVD. The bitrate has to be dropped as does the resolution. You are converting to DVD format by what you are doing.

Thank you but honestly I do not understand what's all the heat about.

You will get more help when you supply all of the facts. As jman98 pointed out, what you are telling us doesn't appear to be truthful.

As pointed out above, TV/SAT/Cable broadcasts do not use DTS. Also pointed out above is the fact that HD (DTS) audio cannot be converted. And there is a seperat forum for DVD ripping (including HD-DVD and Blu-Ray).

So let's start over. Give us the facts and we'll help you out.

[vertical]

I am ready to provide any facts. I have no reason to hide anything - that would be just ridiculous.

But it might happen I do not know what to provide. Please advise what facts you need.

Thanks.

[jman98]

OK, I'm going to make one final attempt to dumb this down for you, since you appear to be pretty thick headed.

We know that you are not telling the truth when you imply that your video file is not an HD-DVD or BluRay rip but comes from a TV broadcast. We told you that at this time it appears that HD DTS audio CANNOT (read that word carefully) be converted. CANNOT. What part of CANNOT do you not understand?

Your choice - either buy the DVD version, which will have Dolby AC3 audio, or continue to waste your time trying to convert what can't be converted.
There were some suggestions on things that might be able to convert the file you have, but if they had worked, I don't think you'd still be posting here and acting like you don't understand what we are saying.

The facts that we needed would be for you to be honest and tell us that you got an HD-DVD or BluRay rip. I suppose there is some chance you might actually not know enough to know where your source came from and you might think it's from a TV broadcast, but none of the HD TV broadcast standards support DTS audio at all, so we know with absolute certainty that you have a ripped file. Denying that this is what you have when we know better is not making you any friends. Refusing to read our advice that this file CANNOT be converted is also not helping.

jman98,

I am sure you are way more technically educated than myself but it might be your irritation that does not allow you to read preperly: "can be..."

I do NOT like your tone and your words. I do not appreciate the way you talk to me and do NOT need any advice from a person like you.

[Krispy Kritter]

Anyway, what is the source of the .ts files? DVR, Tivo, internet?

Once we know the source, we will have a better idea what tools may work.

I had to peek in here... this is slightly amusing in a way.

vertical, jman's irritation, which I think comes across as restrained against all his better judgement in his post, is very justified. When you are asking for help in video matters, it is a bit like talking with your doctor. If you withhold an important fact, then it is going to lead to what likely will be a wrong answer. So far you have been asked multiple times what source your files are from. You have also been told multiple times that only certain kinds of files are compliant with the DVD standard. As has also been pointed out, a DTS HD soundtrack is so high in bitrate that it will not physically fit on a DVD. Now, you have been asked a number of times to give us all the details of what your source is. Such details would include where you got the source from (HD broadcast, HD-DVD, whatever), and what it contains. Those are not unreasonable questions.

As is said many times during one of my favourite films, woah, improper attitude.

Nilfennasion,

Thank you for your involvment. I cannot but agree - it is amusing.

"irritation.. is justified" - Please reread jman's posts. Unlike you, I do not consider them as intention to help but rather to lecture.

"you have been asked a number of times to give us all the details of what your source is" - Really? Reread the posts more closely. If to put aside that I did not understand aedipuss's question, so far, I only see Krispy Kritter's question with regard to this.

You probably also missed my reply to Krispy Kritter's question: "I am ready to provide any facts. But it might happen I do not know what to provide. Please advise what facts you need".

Anyway, thank you and Krispy Kritter. I've found the way around.
