blue ray music video's-what can burn to DTS specs?

[sony sac]

hi there!
i'm currently encoding all my DVD mpeg 2 video clips from the sixties to blue ray-r.
i'm using Mainconcept Reference to output to :-Output preset Blue-Ray : BD H.264 High resolution.
Audio Codec LPCM- 6 Channels-Layer AES3(382M)-24bit(6912kbps)
however, Nero Vision only outputs the file to Dolby AAC 5.1 surround 448kbps.
the video looks good upscaled to 1080 the audio does sound good, but i believe the DTS 24 bit surround sound would be awesome. these are not copy writed, just old Ed Sullivan-American Bandstand-Beatclub-YouTube etc mpegs i've scrounged up over the years.
i'm still searching the forum and i've been raking the internet for ages on this one. VideoHelp.com looks promising for me though.

If your sources are crappy stereo, what can possibly be gained by reencoding them to DTS sourround sound? You're converting lousy YouTube 360p or 480p videos (at best) to Hi-Def? What's the point? And YouTube stuff isn't MPEG, so I suppose you've reencoded it once already, meaning even more quality degradation. It'll never look or sound any better than what you downloaded (before reencoding it to MPEG). For the audio the best you'll ever get is stereo PCM WAV audio.

thank you for posting!
firstly i've already edited these video's to DVD-Mpeg 2 in Dolby surround sound 5.1. i've done audio edit on all of them with the original wave files(no loss) they sound great! much better than stereo! so now i want something that will burn these "edited" DVD-Mpeg 2 Dolby 5.1 surround sound to Blu-Ray in DTS HD surround sound. yes, some of the video's are a bit grainy etc, but they are "upscaled" on the Blu-ray player and do look considerably better. i've also done a matte overlay on the poorer quality vids with psychedelic flower montage-rainforests etc. so they come up quite nice when you can change the opacity on the original clip. so, i have the encoded video's as follows :-Output preset Blue-Ray : BD H.264 High resolution.
Audio Codec LPCM- 6 Channels-Layer AES3(382M)-24bit(6912kbps)
What software can do this final step for me? all i have to do is drop these files into work area and click "BURN" ???

I hope you realize you gain nothing from converting AC3 5.1 source to DTS-MA . The quality doesn't increase - you just increase the bandwidth requirements (waste space). If you started from a studio master, then you could make the case to use DTS-MA, and then it would be higher quality than the original AC3 track. IN your case, it would be better just to copy the existing AC3 track

But to answer your questions, for normal DTS, you need surcode DTS

For HD audio (DTS-HD ,e.g. DTS-MA) you need DTS Master Audio Suite

It's going to be a waste of bandwidth/time/money with your low quality souces, and this is quite expensive software

1) These certainly are under valid copyrights right now at least in the USA. Whether they are in Australia or not is debatable, but the odds are quite high that they are.
2) The audio sources on probably all of these are mono, so I'm not really understanding what you think you are getting by attempting to convert to 5.1 AC3 and then further to go from that to DTS, but good luck to you.

i recorded these from Foxtel onto vhs years ago-then onto pc. i muted all the original sound tracks on all my video's and dropped the originall wave file over them-then synchronised video. they all sound great, since then, i have encoded to Dolby 5.1 AC3 and they sound tremendous. so, i'm scratching around to see if i really can encode them to DTS Master as my sound system for the tv can handle all of the DTS audio.
thanks for the input guys

If you had DTS-MA tracks, they need to be authored first (e.g. scenarist, blu-print) , then you can burn with anything e.g. imgburn . Most consumer authoring programs will not accept DTS-MA , but many will accept DTS

thanks poisondeathray!
i've been blown away by the surround sound bit, so i'll be seeking a little bit of help from some "friends of friends" and see if they can start me up on the DTS HD exercise.
this is great help for me.
