Looking at the specs of the tvix, the only lossless format it accepts is flac. You can convert it but it will be huge. You can use eac3to to do this.

i have converted true hd to flac and lpcm but cannot join them in tsmuxer

tvix can play mkv, so you are not restricted to .m2ts format. So you could put flac in mkv , for example

Even so, tsmuxer should handle muxing lpcm no problems (not sure about flac). Are you using a current beta version?

i dont know what im doing wrong but i end up with the m2ts file and a meta file (the converted audio) but i cannot join these together in tsmuxer as a message comes up unsupported stream

The meta file isn't the actual audio, it's basically a log

Unless you used another method, the lpcm converted by eac3to isn't recognized by tsmuxer directly (header differences or something like that), so you need pcm2tsmu . Here is an illustrated guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/701752#4285687

The other way is to use flac + video + mkv using mkvmerge. Same quality , smaller filesize because flac is ~1/2 the size, and mkv container overhead is ~5-7% smaller than .m2ts
