I've lost my bits and I want them back (blu ray music files)
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:36 pm
My goal is to rip/play back blu ray music files in 96/24 DTS HD 5.1 surround. The MKV files come out as DTS, sample rate of 4800 and a bit rate of 1536 kbs (according to VLC). If it ripped it properly, the bit rate should be 13824 kbs (24*96*6 channels). Instead of 96/24 I am getting 48/5 (bit sampling rate =1536/48/6). Cd's are 44.1/16.
It does not sound bad but I am missing 12288 kbs of info.
The same thing occurred with a 96/24 dolby true hd digital 5.1 surround file (Dark Side of the Moon), I came out as a dolby digital file (ac3) with a bit rate of 640 kbs. It also doesn't sound bad, but it is only slightly better than a highly compressed mp3 file.
I tried to down load the DTS HD .dll as specified in a recent post (Decoding DTS-HD with MakeMkv?). Downloaded the .dll files from the site and pasted them to c:/programs(86)/makemkv with the other .dll's. Could not find the advance tab in view>preferences. It did not rip the file into DTS HD.
It appears as though MKV is converting DTS HD to DTS and Dolby true HD to Dolby digital.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
