I have a DTS-CD with an audio-file of 50:03 minutes.
I extract this one to one file with Foobar 2000 or
Isobuster. Running time remains the same.

Foobar 2000 gives as details for DTSWav file:
Bitrate= 1411, Samplerate= 44100, Channels= 2, Codec= PCM,
Bitspersample= 16.

DTSParser gives as details for the DTSWav file:
Offset= 00000D40, Frame= 00000000, Bitrate= open,
Frequentie= 44100Khz 24 bits, CL+CR+L+R+SR+LFE,
Framesize= 3584 bytes.

Notice that DTSParser says Bitrate Open, FooBar 1411!

Then I use Besplit V0.9b7 to write to DTS format.
Loaded new file in Foobar 2000 which told me that
I ended up with an audio that plays twice too fast and
consists of twice the audiofile combined so the running
time is now 50:02 minutes.

Foobar 2000 gives as details for new DTS file:
Bitrate= 1234, Samplerate= 44100, Channels= 6, Codec = DTS

DTSParser gives as details for the new DTS file:
Offset= 00000000, Frame= 00000000, Bitrate= 1411.2,
Frequentie= 44100Khz 24 bits, CL+CR+L+R+SR+LFE,
Framesize= 3585 bytes.

Here's the Besplit command:

C:\Program Files\Audio\Besweet\Besplit -core( -input "C:\01.wav"
-output "C:\02.DTS" -type dtswav )
Besplit v0.9b7 by DSPguru.
--------------------------

[00:00:00:000] +------- BeSplit -----
[00:00:00:000] | Input: C:\01.wav
[00:00:00:000] | Source Sample-Rate: 44.1KHz
[00:00:00:000] | Channels Count: 5.1, Bitrate: 1411.2kbs
[00:00:00:000] | Output : C:\01.dts
[00:00:00:000] +-----------------
[00:50:02:290] | Writing C:\01.dts
[00:50:02:290] +-----------------
[00:50:02:290] Operation Completed !
[00:05:05:001] <-- Process Duration


Then I changed the Besplit command for a fixed Bitrate.

C:\Program Files\Audio\Besweet\Besplit -core( -input "C:\01.wav"
-output "C:\02.DTS" -type dtswav -b 1411 )
Besplit v0.9b7 by DSPguru.
--------------------------

[00:00:00:000] +------- BeSplit -----
[00:00:00:000] | Input: C:\01.wav
[00:00:00:000] | Source Sample-Rate: 44.1KHz
[00:00:00:000] | Channels Count: 5.1, Bitrate: 1411.2kbs
[00:00:00:000] | Output : C:\01.dts
[00:00:00:000] +-----------------
[00:50:02:920] | Writing C:\01.dts
[00:50:02:920] +-----------------
[00:50:02:920] Operation Completed !
[00:03:29:000] <-- Process Duration


And again the same information:

Foobar 2000 gives as details for new DTS file:
Bitrate= 1234, Samplerate= 44100, Channels= 6, Codec = DTS

DTSParser gives as details for the new DTS file:
Offset= 00000000, Frame= 00000000, Bitrate= 1411.2,
Frequentie= 44100Khz 24 bits, CL+CR+L+R+SR+LFE,
Framesize= 3585 bytes.

There must be a solution to this. I've tried to Time-stretch
the 6 mono files I created after this thru Vegas 5 and Goldwave
but the outcome is not satisfactory.

Any ideas? I couldn't find a helping answer in this forum. Thanx.

I solved it with VLC 0.8.0

Open VLC. Load Streaming device. Load
DTSWav input file. Choose Stream Output and
configuration. Choose File and give new
output file a name and directory.
Choose Wav. Audio-codec s16l. Bitrate
to your choosing and 6 channels. Hit OK
and OK. And if all goes well you can see
VLC create your new Wav-file.
Use Wav2wav6 to seperate in 6 mono wav files.

This should work with all troublesome DTSWav/DTS
files!

Good Luck.
