6 mono waves to DTS? How?

[rhaz]

Hi. So yeah, I extracted a DTS from Bluray source and I had to edit it, so I converted it into 6 wav mono files, did my editing and now I need to somehow mux it back to DTS. So how do I do that? Any tools, GUIs?

I tried SurCode DTS Encoder, it kinda works, but MediaInfo doesn't recognize the muxed .DTS file, it shows no details at all, like bitrate, channels and basic stuff, so I guess it's something wrong with SurCode's encoding.

SurCode DTS Encoder must work.

Please put a MediaInfo of one input wav (after your edition) and the options used in Surcode.

There are no free DTS encoders (for marketing reasons), yet a rudimentary one (not HD) is here (http://gitorious.org/dtsenc).
On the other hand SurCode must work, it is also professionally used.

OK here's the stuff.

It's because .dts is a some kind of "raw" DTS format, MadiaInfo cannot realize what's inside it.
Try to use .CPT. It should work fine.

But I do not know what CPT is. And why do I need that, why DTS encoder doesn't give me a decent DTS?

Ok I found out it is a some kind of format, but I need mine to be in .dts extension for my .mkv video file to be muxed together so I could play it properly on several devices I own.

How can you judge this?

[rhaz]

What do you mean Ghitulescu? I meant I want simple working dts. Also I just encoded to cpt, but MediaInfo doesn't even open it. However I tried to renamed that cpt to dts and MediaInfo shows all info correct now. Except bitrate is 755, it should be 768. Also I do not know if it is right to rename extensions.

[tebasuna51]

768 is the 'nominal' bitrate, 755 is the real bitrate.

The .cpt (compact) have the real bitrate, in the .dts there are 0's at end of each frame until reach the 'nominal' bitrate.
You can rename the .cpt to .dts without problems.

BTW I can't understand how MediaInfo don't read the initial .dts, seems a MediaInfo bug.

How do you know it doesn't work?
Did mediainfo worked with the original DTS?

Small question: Wouldn't it be possible to, load the wav files with sox, mix, boost whatever the audio using sox and then feed the sox output to dcaenc to create DTS audio?

Actually.... LameXP (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157726) also offers DTS encoding via its 'DCA' option :D

Apparently nobody clicked the link, otherwise he would have noticed that's the same program, thus the smileys. The link provided in the doom9 thread it's inactive for some time now.
