How to burn .DTS files

[FriendOfTheDevil]

First time poster here. I am looking for how to burn .dts files to play on my stand alone stereo system.
I have tried Nero which is what I usually use and it does not seem to like .dts

Do I need to convert these somehow?

Or?

I have looked all over the web and people talk about it but I have not seen concrete answers on this.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

welcome.
DTS-CD must be in dts.wav 16b/44.1K to burn as regular "audio cd" to play in your standalone player.

as you fave dts.dts your file is(seems) 16b/48K or 24b/48K.

To play in standalone stereo system you need convert the dts to stereo wav 16bit, 44.1 KHz with eac3to, Foobar2000, BeHappy, etc.
After you can use the stereo wav to burn CD-Audio with Nero

Edit: I don't see your post raquete

I don't think I want to play it as a "regular cd". I believe it is some type of surround sound. So i don't want to downsample it.

ok.
some kind of surround? well i have some DTS-CD(16b/44.1K) 5.1 multichannels and works very well....
then to don't downsample(and i agree that don't have to re-encode as dts is lossy) you must author a dvd video(audio only) using DVDLab for example.
some players don't like video-ts with .dts only, need AC3 together. do fast test first authoring only one sample (.dts) and check in your standalone.
to play in pc winamp can play dts.dts, dts.wav and dta.cpt.

There is a way to do what you want to do, but it's been a long time since I did it, and I don't remember all the details.

You can encode a DTS file as DTS-CD, which has the same data rate as stereo audio found on CDs (but it is 5.1 channel lossy compressed). If you encoded your DTS file this way, all you need to do is create an audio CD in a program like Nero and drop your files in there. Nero should see them as normal .WAV files, and accept them. If not, then you could try renaming them from .DTS to .WAV, and if that still doesn't work, then you probably didn't encode them correctly. Once it works, it will sound like loud noise on regular CD players since they will be trying to play the DTS bitstream as uncompressed PCM, but if you play it on a device that has SPDIF and feed it to a DTS capable receiver, you should hear you 5.1 sound correctly.

Hope that helps.

I did try and rename them .wav files and Nero did not like that.

I did not encode them and I guess that is why I am a bit unsure about the surround etc. I downloaded them on Bit Torrent.
So I did not create them. They are just sitting there as .DTS files.

I will check out the DVD Lab.
