DTS-HD track?

[MagnumRT]

Hey guys,

I made my first MKV a few minutes ago from my District 9 Blu-Ray disc. My laptop is 5 years old so it can't play any high resolution VC1/H264 video without stuttering badly. I TMPG'ed the video track into a 1280x720 MPEG2 file and works flawlessly with my laptop. Very minimal processor usage and great video (bu a 10GB file).

However, I tried MKVmerge'ing with the original DTS-HD file and it wouldn't play correctly. the movie was sped up x2 or x3 times the normal time. Is there a fix for this? I had to downconvert the DTS-HD to regular DTS in tsMuxer.

I wanted to keep the DTS-HD sound because I use some good headphones with an Audigy PCMCIA sound card on the lappy.

I just did my first encode with HDConvertToX, and I was amazed at the quality of the file for the size. I also used 1280 x 720, but I converted the audio to 5.1 AC3. The 1:43 file was just over 2 GB with x264 CRF value 20, and it looked and sounded close enough to the original that I can't tell them apart other than a careful head-to-head comparison. I use some very good Sennheiser headphones.
