Problems With azidts DTS-->MP3 Conversion

[onesikgypo]

PC Setup: Windows 7 x64

Installation:

1) Downloaded azidts from http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Audio/azidts.zip
2) Extracted azidts in folder (has azidts.exe, Besweet.dll and others)
3) Installed Corel WinDVD Pro 2010 v10.0.5.713
4) Downloaded dtsac3source.ax from http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/files/DTS_AC3%20Source/DTS_AC3%20Source%201.0.0.1/
5) copied dtsac3source.ax to C:\Windows\System32\SYSWOW64
6) ran regsvr32 dtsac3source.ax - completed successfully


Usage:

azidts -core( -input "in.dts" -output "out.mp3" -logfile "dtslog.log" ) -ota( -hybridgain ) -azid( -c normal ) -lame( -h --abr 128 )


Error:

No identifiable error, the program just crashes saying "azidts.exe has stopped working"


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Problems With azidts DTS-->MP3 Conversion

1) use eac3to for converting and downmixing 5.1 .DTS to 2.0 .WAV

2) encode to mp3 with lame.exe

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am aware of this alternative method (as with using eac3to to extract a dts stream to ac3 and then encoding that to mp3 using a tool such as besweet). However, i was more focussed on resolving the avidts issue so that a one step conversion can be done.

Thanks.

eac3to input stdout.wav -down2 -normalize | Lame -V 4 - output.mp3

Modify to suit your needs.
