DTS Encoding

[xbox360]

Hello to Everyone, I tried encoding in .cpt & .dts (.cpt & .dts had the same output file size) what I found was .cpt encodes faster than .dts also when making a DVD with .cpt it compiles faster, after making a DVD-Video try demuxing a .cpt (DTS) & the output is only the video file. So my question is this is there a diference betwieen .cpt & .dts ? also what does cpt stand for ?

2.2.5.1. Compact (*.cpt) File Format
Encoding systems for DTS provide a default or option to save files in the Compact format with the file
extension “.cpt”. Compact format files are encoded with only audio, timecode, and header information,
and are coded in “Motorola” (high-order byte first) byte order.
Not all DVD authoring systems recognize the “.cpt” extension. Depending on the system, you may have
to set the list of file types displayed in the Open File dialog to “All Files” in order to see the *.cpt files. In
certain cases, you may have rename files to “.dts” in the file system in order to use Compact format files
in authoring.

2.2.5.2. Padded (*.dts) File Format
Most of systems for encoding to DTS define the option of Padded (*.dts) file type by selecting this
extension when the file is saved. Some systems define this as an option in encoding labeled as “Pad Files
with Zeroes”, or similar wording. “Padded” files include extra zeroes in addition to the audio payload and
timecode/header information. These files are stored in Motorola byte order.
Most DVD authoring systems are able to use both Padded and Compact file types.

Maestro accepts CPT and is recomended by DTSonline to use in Maestro.
There is an authoring guide on DTSonline that says what programs accept what.
You might (from memory) have to rename them .DTS.
