I'm confused about what a frame rate could even be for a non-video file.
My guess is that when you're converting from DVD-A you're winding up with 48kHz material and your player is confused when it finds that on a CD.
I thought the same thing, what does "frame rate" even mean for a non-video file? But I confirmed that DTS-CD files created with DVDAE create a 44.1Khz file, but with a "frame rate" of 86.133 fps (512 spf). I haven't found a tool or method to change this frame rate.
So I did what George suggested. I downloaded the SurCode DTS-CD encoder (actually, bought it for $99), and encoded mono wav's, and it created a DTS WAV file with frame rate of 43.066 fps (1024 spf). I created a .cue file and burned a CDR with Imgburn, and the Caddy successfully played it! From what I've read, 512 spf is more or less "standard", but the DTS spec does allow 1024 and a few other values. For some reason, however, my 2008 Caddy only plays DTS CDs with 1024 spf.
I must say, though, that the process is now more cumbersome.
Before:
- Load DVD/DVD-Audio into drive, or Blu Ray ISO created with MakeMKV
- Open DVDAE
--- Extract DTSWAV with .cue file.
- Open Imgburn
--- Burn CDR
After:
- Load DVD/DVD-Audio into drive, or Blu Ray ISO created with MakeMKV
- Open DVDAE
--- Extract to "WAV -- PCM Uncompressed Wave". (6 channel, sample rate set to "same as input")
- Open AudioMuxer
--- Join multiple WAVs, for those titles where I had to extract each track with DVDAE separately. i.e. when there is no option to extract all tracks to a single PCM Uncompressed Wave
--- Audio Conversion, create mono WAVs, resample to 44.1KHz if necessary
- Open SurTec DTS Encoder
--- Manually assign each mono wav to the appropriate channel. (I join the multiple WAVs in AudioMuxer so that I don't have to do these manual steps in SurTec for each track)
--- Create DTS WAV
--- (A quirk of SurTec encoder is that when it's open, it locks the target folder for the saved DTS WAV. i.e. you can't rename or change ANY files or folders in that target folder....usually an app would lock a specific file or folder, NOT everything in a folder. Weird.)
- Open Imgburn
--- Manually create .cue file (there's probably a tool that can do this for me)
--- Burn CDR
Though the DTSTEST button in AudioMuxer confirms that it sees SurCode DTS-CD encoder, I haven't been successful using the DTSWAV feature in "Audio Conversion".
Here's an example where I'm trying on a single song. The song is 44.1Khz 6channel WAV. What am I doing wrong?
The following files have not been loaded because there is no compatible match with the audio format of the first file in the list <PCM-Extensible wave format (24bits) | 44100Hz | 6 350 kb/s | 6Ch (3/0/2.1)>:
- C:\Music\Last Plane Out.dts.wav
<Not a valid audio file>
<Maybe try to convert the file using the Audio Conversion option in the Tools menu>
