[robbynaish]

Hi guys,

exist a simple way, better free :), to downsample a DTS?

Thanks to all

Downsample?

You can use eac3to to transcode the DTS to AC3, AAC, or whatever else you want... :)

Hi,

sorry, maybe i explained wrong.

I meant to convert a DTS file to another smaller DTS file reducing the rate or something else

Thanks

No point. If you want to reduce the size of your DTS tracks, don't re-encode them to another DTS file!!! True you could go from 1536 to 768kbps, but that sounds like shit. Plus, DTS encoders are not free.

640k AC3 for SPDIF compatibility or VBR AAC for efficient storage of 5.1ch audio. There are excellent free encoders for both formats (Aften and Nero AAC, respectively)

oo thanks so much....

so what type of conversion you suggest for reducing size and keep the best audio quality of a DTS @1536kbp?

many many thanks again

Aw c'mon, DTS at 768 Kbps is FAR from bad. How soon we forget the kudos it received when it first started to appear on standard DVDs.

Also, if I remember correctly(keep in mind that I am OLD), you CAN use eac3to without any "for pay" software, to downconvert DTS from 1536 to 768...

Nope, eac3to don't include a DTS encoder, can use Surcode Minnetonka encoder but isn't free (179.00 € Price before VAT, plus delivery)

Okay, setarip_old - it doesn't sound THAT bad, I'll hand you that. But, I think we can all agree that AAC would be a great option if hardware compatibility and DRC aren't important, and that AC3 would be a good option if they are important.
