How to use BeSweet or azidts to convert dts wav to mono wav?

[tcwillghsh]

Formerly I used Tranzcode to do this on a 32 bit OS, and it worked perfectly, since I upgraded my system to 64 bit Tranzcode doesn't work any more. So I tried BeSweet and azidts, but I couldn't get enough of their document to know how they work, I typed command like

BeSweet -core(-input D:\1.wav -output D:\2.wav -6ch)

but get error message notice me to find more information in their website. Can someone tell how to use them correctly if I want to convert a multichannel dts wav to 6 mono wav? Thanks.

another option is eac3to , "wavs" will generate 6 separate mono wavs

eac3to input.dts output.wavs

eac3to input.dts output.wavs

Thanks for your help, it works!

I have a dts wav which I like to edit the individual PCM wav. I downloaded eac3to but I have no idea how to use it to generate 6 seperate mono files. Can someone help me? Downloaded eac3to324.zip
Open up Eac3to and MORE GUI.v.1.10.01 but have no idea how to proceed.

You can use the old gui if you want

See this for instructions, and it's attached in later posts (instead of loading an AC3 track, load your dts track)

[daviddlch]

Thank you so much. Effortlessly with your help, the 6 waves were generated. Using Audition I edited the files as required. Now how do i put these 6 wave files back and convert them into a single dts.wav again.

There used to be no free dts encoders (licensing issues), but there is a "grey" area one now called dcaenc
http://aepatrakov.narod.ru/dcaenc/

You can find compiled binaries in this thread
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163526

But there is no GUI for it (command line only)

eac3to can do it , but only if you have surcode dts (and if you bought surcode dts, you might as well use the gui for it)

[daviddlch]

surcode dts will encode the wav file into a single file .dts or dts-wav or both?

[poisondeathray]

sorry I thought you meant single compressed, lossy .dts - that's what it does

I think you can use wav2dts to get .dtswav

(and of course DTS Master Audio Suite but it's very $)



Here are some guides for encoding dts wavs for either or DTS-CD's or DVD's (using Surcode DVD Pro)

You have been most helpful. I managed to find a copy of Surcode DVD-DTS to help to complete my conversion back to dts-wav. Thank you.

I am 61 years old. I like all my 70s and 80s music. I could easily download all my favourite oldies but I usually find the recordings to be dull. The recording technology at those time are very limited in terms of equipment and technicality. As such I look out for recent concerts of artists of yesteryear.
The quality of those recordings is usually far better.

So please show me how to

1. demux dts audo or dts-HD from DVD, Blu-ray, MKV, ISO files.
2. and convert to dts-wav.

You have taught me the 2nd part and now be kind enough to show me the 1st part. The 2nd part comes in handy to get rid of those clapping sounds and introductory conversation in concert recording.

[poisondeathray]

Look in the guides section , and do a simple search - there are many ways to demux

But a quick summary

blu-ray: decrypt with anydvd, hdbr stream extractor or clownbd (a gui eac3to)
dvd: dvdfab or anydvd, dvd decrypter or dvd shrink, pcgedit
mkv: mkvextract-gui2
iso: mount with daemon tools or virtual clone drive demux with same the same tools

[daviddlch]

Those are helpful directions to demux audio format from host. But what about the subsequent conversion to dts-wav ?

I don't understand your question? It's the same as above, mono wavs, surcode etc...

I use spdifer.exe for converting "normal" DTS to WAV-DTS.

I still haven't understood WHY do you want / need to use DTS-WAV, though.

[daviddlch]

Sorry I didnt make myself clear.

What I mean is : As an example, if I were to use dvd decrypter to demultiplex a DVD file. What I will get is a dts file but not a dts-wav.

And what I need is a dts-wav file. So I need to know how to convert a dts file to a dts-wav file.

My reason of wanting a dts-wav has been explained earlier.

"I am 61 years old. I like all my 70s and 80s music. I could easily download all my favourite oldies but I usually find the recordings to be dull. The recording technology at those time are very limited in terms of equipment and technicality. As such I look out for recent concerts of artists of yesteryear.
The quality of these recordings is usually far better. Besides I have a DVD player with 5.1 speakers system installed in my car. Its a joy to hear the quality of the edited dts-wav "

[poisondeathray]

It is a dts-wav file from surcode (wav encapsulated, wav extension). Do what you did before with eac3to ,edit, then encode using surcode

[daviddlch]

I see what you mean now.

dts --> PCM wav ---> dts-wav

Thank you.

[addu]

As a freeware latest SUPER encoder will do the job for u just bring the wave as a single file which u can easily do in nero soundtrax using 5.1 discrete channel project and then encode the file as either .dts or dts wave. I mean back to SUPER for encoding in dts.

[Cornucopia]

I see what you mean now.

dts --> PCM wav ---> dts-wav

Thank you.

Yes, and you HAVE to do this anyway to get it to work - for the simple reason that the DTS on DVD is different than the DTS (or DTS-wav) on a DTS-CD. They have different samplerates (48kHz for former, 44.1kHz for latter) and different expected/required bitrates (IIRC, 1536 vs. 1378.125 kbps)

......
(IIRC, 1536 vs. 1378.125 kbps)

Actually: 1509 vs. 1234.8 kbps

With SPDIF-padding, 1509 becomes 1536, and 1234.8 becomes 1411.2

[daviddlch]

Thank you all. I am glad I join this forum. You guys are very helpful and knowledgeable. Bit rate of 1536 vs 1411.2 makes a lot of sense.

[daviddlch]

Hi fellows, I hope you guys are are still around.

From the bit rate it will appear that the conversion from dts to dts-wave is actually an audio downgrading process. ( Is this true ?)

So to preserve the quality ;

What do I need to do to these dts files so that I can play these dts files without the video stream using a DVD player ?

This is especially useful when you want to play all your favorite dts audio files in a row.

Is this process being called DVD authoring without the video stream?

[addu]

if it is dts wave then u have to create audio cd's to playback in dvd players with dts decoder and if it is dts only extension than proceed with dvd authoring but in both case u require dvd players with dts decoder to listen. On pc to test ur files use vlc.
