I have an avi file that has dts audio.

AUDIO INFO *** : DTS 5.1CH @ 754 Kbps

How do I convert this to an avi with wav audio (or mp3)

I have tried the following thus far with no luck:

BEST WAY TO CONVERT DTS TO WAV OR MP2:
you need the "DTSWAV DS Filter" from http://hypercube.is.dreaming.org
you need the "DTS / AVI Filters" from http://www.doom9.org
you need the "Cyberlink Audio Decoder" from PowerDVD 5 Deluxe
use Hypercube Transcoder from http://hypercube.is.dreaming.org
set the frequency and the input frequency to 44100 if needed
select "DirectShow Processing"
select "WAV Engine (single 6ch file)" or "MP2 Engine"
right-click on the "Cyberlink Audio Decoder", click on settings/properties, select 6 speaker


conversion of a DTS file is explained. But how does one convert an avi file with DTS audio?


As a side note, why does my divx player not play this avi file? I have an RJ1500 and it supports
Dolby® Digital (Dolby AC-3) and DTS® Digital Outputs.

Nor does Cyberlink PowerDVD 5 Deluxe work. I just get video, but you can't hear any audio.

I have installed:
the "DTSWAV DS Filter" from http://hypercube.is.dreaming.org
the "DTS / AVI Filters" from http://www.doom9.org
Hypercube Transcoder from http://hypercube.is.dreaming.org
I am assuming that "Cyberlink Audio Decoder" comes with PowerDVD 5 Deluxe

Let me just qualify one thing...when I say that the avi doesn't work on my standalone divx player, I mean that the audio doesn't work. I just get video...like with the powerdvd player.

Well,

First I'd demux the dts from the AVI with VirtualDubMod or AviMux GUI. Then I's decode the DTS to WAV using dtsdec (you can get a compile from this @ Rarewares -> here (http://www.rarewares.org/files/others/dtsdec.zip) ), using the following commandline (to output a Stereo WAV):

dtsdec -o wav > output.wav source.dts

To output multichannel (5.1) WAV, I'd use:

dtsdec -o wavall > output.wav source.dts

Then I'd encode the audio to mp3, or ac3, doesn't really matter. Then it's just mux again to the AVI with VirtualDubMod or AviMux GUI.
(Using AviMux GUI, you could also put AAC in AVI ;) )

Hope this helps.

EDIT: as it's for a standalone player, AAC isn't a viable option. Only mp3 and ac3, then :)
