[.dts and .dtshd] How to tell them apart once demuxed?

[jfromeo]

Hello fellows.

Is there any way to tell apart a dts audio stream from a dtshd one (apart from the extension and size)? Like using MediInfo and reading some key field that would tell it's one or another.

In my case, I have a .dts file from a BD backup which is suspiciously big in size (1.3GiB for a 1h 40' movie), and I'm afraid I have renamed it by mistake from a .dts file or have chosen the wrong format output from eac3to at the moment of demuxing it. What would happen if I remux it into a mkv file with mkvmerge as it is, with the .dts extension? And if I rename it manually to .dtshd and remux it afterwards? Would it make a difference?

Thanks in advance.

Hi! In my case, I have a .dts file from a BD backup...

Just open tsMuxeR and drag and drop the main movie .M2TS file from the backup onto it...

If you open the dts stream in mediainfo look for the Format Profile. For vanilla DTS there will be no format profile but for HD-MA you will see the Format Profile as MA.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! It was indeed a DTS-HD MA, reading the MA profile in MediaInfo, so I changed the extension and muxed it into the mkv.
