Thanks.
I am dumb regarding the technical details. I think the DTS file has the same information as the final WAV, that's why the increase in size seemed too much.
But, I assume from your explanation, that much of the DTS info is replicated to create the 6 CH WAV, and that's why the file is so much bigger, isn't it?
EDIT:
I just looked in another song I have in DTS 5.1 WAV format (in the AC3 filter properties while it was playing) and it showed this:
Code:
Decoder:
Stream format: DTS 3/2.1 (5.1) 44100Hz
Bitstream type: 14bit low endian
Frame size: free format
Samples: 1024
Bitrate: unknown
SPDIF stream type: 0xc
Frame interval: 4096
Actual bitrate: 1411kbps
DTS
speakers: 3/2.1 (5.1)
sample rate: 44100Hz
bitrate: 1411kbps
stream: 14bit LE
frame size: 3584 bytes
nsamples: 1024
amode: 9
No CRC
Tebasuna51, If I follow your math
6ch x 14bit x 44KHz = 3696 kbps != 1411 kbps reported by AC3
It is 13:40 min song and the file only takes 141MB
Something is not fitting, according to my understanding
On the other hand when I play the file created by eac3to, AC3 filter shows this:
Code:
Input format: PCM24 3/2.1 (5.1) 48000
User format: PCM16 - 0
Output format: PCM16 3/2.1 (5.1) 48000
That's why I think I am using the wrong tool. I just wanted to wrap the DTS file in WAV format, not to convert it. It seems the file I got is pure PCM.
