Creating 4.0 DTS DVD

[STLJLC]

Additionally, the published specs state that (again) up to 6 channels is supported with a maximum bitrate of 6144 kbps. However, not a single player ever built has ever supported multichannel LPCM in Video_TS. You can use 24/96 stereo in some authoring tools, but the player is not required to pass this properly. Some will truncate the 24-bit wordlength down to 16 bits, others will resample the 96kHz down to 48kHz on the fly, and yet still others will do both.

Thanks. Yeah I'm making Audio DVDs for my own use with my quad vinyl ripped at 24/96 and playable on the screen. I should probably break down and buy a DVD-A player.

Also, I would strongly recommendthat the 4.0 DTS stream is not the first stream - that shall be (spec wording) either Dolby Digital or LPCM.

I'm not really sure what the implication of this is. If I have one large DTS file that I'm going to mux with a high-res scan of the cover, using a cue file to supply the track breaks, does this mean that I should go find some kind of DTS logo or something, that's in LPCM stereo, and have that play first?

No. What it means is that, without the plugin, you can't EXTRACT the 24/96 stream from an existing .dtshd file, only the core 24/48 DTS. You can mux just fine at 24/96. I do so all the time as well.

Perfect, thanks. This site has been so helpful over the years...

Try checking and unchecking "resample to" to make sure that button didn't get stuck.

It is completely greyed out and unavailable to check the box.
TMT5 is fully installed, as is DTS-Pro series encoder, and both the SurCode and the ArcSoft boxes are completely inaccessible and greyed out.
AudioMuxer not working well for me at all.
Windows 7 64-bit version

Neil, sorry for this dumb question but did you try to do a DTS check in AudioMuxer? (Application Settings / DTS Test) I'm on Win7 64, too, so this is no issue.

Btw, if you cannot resolve your problem I suggest you to contact Pl4yitLOUD on his AudioMuxer discussion forum here http://www.surroundbyus.com/sbu/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=136&start=0 I'm sure he won't let without words that one of the greatest surround audio mastering specialists is not able to utilize AudioMuxer.

I told him the same thing, you need to run a check first so AudioMuxer can detect it, else it won't work.

Oh, sorry, I skimmed over your post.

This is the quickest way to get any answer on AudioMuxer itself. Everyone involved with that site is on here, but do not check here on a regular basis.

No need to say sorry, that's not why I said it.

Anyway, I'm almost certain that's what causing the problem. At the moment the needed file is just not present, as far as AudioMuxer is concerned, so no wonder it doesn't work.

 

[neil wilkes]

I've checked the settings - and both TMT (ArcSoft) and SurCode are greyed out.
I'll go drop someone a line at SBU I think....

 

[grill]

They are getting checked and grayed if the appropriate decoder is recognized.

?????
They are *not* chacked, they are both greyed out as I keep trying to say.
Run the detect, and I am told there are no decoders available so it simply does not work. Period.
Apparently it only works with TMT2, not 3 or 5.
What I now need to find is a way to demux the bitstream down to the .dtshd file, and I'll decode it manually with the DTS StreamPlayer instead....

Hmmm. I don't have anything ArcSoft installed right now, but I'm pretty sure I was using the dtsdecoderdll.dll.1.1.0.8.
I think your problem is not that AudioMuxer is not finding it, but Windows is not finding it. Anyway somehow it's not being registered.

 

[mandrix]

Neil, try the fix I posted over at SBU which I found at Doom9. Don't know if it will work, but it won't harm anything if it doesn't.
