I have a movie that doesn't contain any dutch subtitles. Over the months I have become quite handy in adding subtitles using Subtitle Workshop (for syncing) and Maestro. But yesterday I ran into a DVD that only has one DTS track (and no AC3 tracks), after which I discovered that Subtitle Workshop does not support DTS tracks, and that Maestro does not allow you to preview movies with DTS tracks.
Anybody what tool I can use to check whether my subtitle is in sync with the DTS track?

Couldnt you somehow use .WAV for checking?
There are many ways to convert DTS to WAV (GraphEdit, AziDTS, HyperCube, VLC etc.) but probably the simplest is DTSdec (http://www.rarewares.org/others.html)

dtsdec -o wav in.dts > out.wav

I always rip the foreign subs on the DVD and sync my own dutch sub according to it. Works every time.

But if that DTS DVD doesn't have any subs, you should follow Liisachan's solution.
