Difference between DTS nad DTSWAV (6WAV)

[phoenix_me]

When people usually ripping CD_DTS (44.1 16it) as a result they have a DTSWAV (so called 6WAV). What's the difference between such file and a pure DTS?. Isn't it that DTSWAV it's a DTS file encapsulated into WAV header? Because when you burn such file (WAVDTS) on CDR and put into receiver that can decode DTS stream it will show DTS as source data.

Yes...exactly.

Yes...exactly.

Thanks

Thanks


Answer is not complete....
Yes, it is pure DTS, but in the same bitrate as the header....
In other words : adding DTS WAV on DVD won't work !!

BTW what is pure DTS ? It's nothing more than a compression format.......

I can't agree with you.
I was using DiscWelder to burn such files on DVD and such DVD was working with no problem. My receiver shows DTS stream as input signal.

The difference between .dts (pure DTS) and dtwav are:

.dts (padded) has:

1) Motorola byte order (programming: big endian)

2) in most cases encoded using 48k Hz source mono channel data (wavs) - since it is targeted to the DVD format for playback

3) can have diff bitrates targeted to DVD format

4) since this format is targeted for DVD, which also includes video data, the .dts stream must be multiplexed with the video stream (req a DVD authoring s/w). There may be some players which can play straight .dts demuxed, but that's not a standard DVD format.

.cpt is:

... like .dts but without extra padded bits, thus smaller filesize. Not sure why .dts is more widely used in DVD format than .cpt, but I haven't bothered to find out via googling.


dtswav has:

1) Intel byte order (programming: little endian) (High<->Low byte reversed)

2) in most cases encoded using 44.1 kHz source mono channel data (wavs) - since its targeted to the CD format for playback

3) Since they are called wav, they must have a 44 byte wav header at the begining of the file, which should contain: 2 channel, 44.1 khz, PCM values

4) bitrate must be set to one rate

5) sync intervals are usually much larger than .dts, so you can have other data in between each frame, which can make it more difficult to calculate its length since the sync intervals are not always the same. (.dts less so)


(sorry to lazy to give the most common bit rates)

hope this helps...

This is not right !
Discwelder puts them on a DVDA, NOT on DVD !!
