[eac3to] Demuxing RAW/PCM tracks from a BD dump?

[jfromeo]

Given that I don't have any DTS-HD MA/TrueHD propietary encoders installed on my system to demux the RAW/PCM track of a BD dump into one of those formats (*.dtshd/*.thd), which will be the most suitable option to decode them into a lossless track with maximum compression rate?

The idea is demuxing it and then merging into a mkv container and use a HTPC as playback.

I have the option to demux it as RAW, WAV and FLAC (discarding all the lossy codecs). RAW/WAV offers from none to very little compression right? And regarding FLAC, is it "suitable" for BD playback? I know the "light" of my Onkyo receiver won't be on like with a DTS-HD/TrueHD track but that's a minor issue if the audio quality is exactly the same (lossless) as well as its possiblities (streaming, 7.1 channels output...etc).

Thanks in advance!

For demuxing alone, you don't need a decoder.

eac3to E: 1) 3: somefile.dtshd will work without any DTS decoder.

Oh nice, thanks for all the help Inspector.Gadget! I guess I'll go with dtshd then. I get a benefit of ~50% in size which is always welcome :)

50% of what?
