DTS-HD to PCM conversion

[longtom]

Which tool can convert 5.1 DTS-HD to 2.0 PCM losless?
:thanks:

Downmix 5.1 to 2.0 isn't lossless.

You need eac3to with ArcSoft DTS-HD decoder and run:

eac3to your.dtshd output.wav -downmix

This way. (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to/How_to_Use#Using_complete_disc_structure_as_input)

the best way to keep the channels and lossles is FLAC.

eac3to your.dtshd output.flac

:stupid:
I don't understand it...
What to put in the command line that i have chapters?
I want to extract audio only out of m2ts from /BDMV/STREAM.

for a bluray:

eac3to 1) 1:chapter.txt


or

eac3to your.m2ts 1:chapter.txt

thats all.

Thanks, but then i have only a chapter.txt with the timestamps...

Doesn't 5.1 downmix to 2.0 requires phase shift? Or is this necessary only for Dolby sources? :thanks:

Never with Dolby sources.
With other sources we can't know. Maybe.
Try the two options and select the best for you.

ok. thats a bit of work

you demux the the sound with eac3to.
then you mux the wav with mkvmerge and use there the splitoption "after timecodes". you copy the timestamps from the chapter.txt.
you get the soundfiles and then you demux the mka-files to your.wav
