and I don't have far to go...
hi there. I've embarked on a project which has had me doing a lot of reading on the web and particularly on this forum. I am attempting to create a compilation blu ray and maintain the highest integrity for both audio and video. my platform is Mac. for editing and compiling I'm using adobe CS6.
I've had no problem extracting full res video from the disc - and really, no problem extracting the audio either. however, as you all know, dts hd ma is not manipulation friendly unless you have dts audio suite. so, using dvdfab, I converted the audio to flac and then to wav. unfortunately this results in only 6 tracks and my assumption is the initial dts>flac conversion took only the core audio and not the hd extension. I'm not certain of this, as the sampling rate of the six channels I do have is 48k/16 bit...but the fact remains I'm still missing two audio channels.
I've used both makemkv and dvdfab for extraction but have found that, with the right selections I am getting (almost?) what I need from dvdfab. from the disc, I extract a direct copy of video only to an m2ts file. then I do a second run to get the audio, which involves the dts>flac conversion. after that I just paste them back together in premiere.
has anyone had experience with these processes and can confirm 1)whether the flac audio from dvdfab is actually hd or core resolution, and 2)how to obtain all 8 channels of audio?
thanks in advance.
