View Full Version : dtsdec 5.1wav output

I have used dtsdec to create (what I thought was) a 5.1 wav file, using the following command line.

dtsdec -o wav6 > file.wav file.dts, and
dtsdec -o wavall > file.wav file.dts

However when I try to read the file none of my audio applications will read it. I've tried Besweet and CoolEdit with no luck. CoolEdit reports "headerless RAW data file". Am I missing something in the dtsdec command line?

As a test I used BeSweet to convert a 5.1 AC3 to to a 5.1 WAV. and had no problems with reading the file in Besweet or CoolEdit. Also any of the stereo outputs from dtsdec seem to be working fine in both programs.

I'm using CoolEdit 2000 and Besweet 1.5b26


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
JPL

@ The X

I saw your guide before I posted, unfortunately your guide says nothing about using dtsdec, wich is what I am interested in.

I know that it can be done using azidts, however I would like to use dtsdec because it is much faster than azidts and doesn't require WinDVD.

Also since Besweet.dll 1.5b18 and newer I've been getting assert errors at the end of the file when using azidts to decode dts files and as a result I don't trust the final file.

Thanks
