A problem with DVD Audio Extractor

Hello,

I hope I'm posting this in the right place.

I've bought the program DVD Audio Extractor, and use it to extract audio from DVDs and Blu-Rays, after decrypting the files with Make MKV.

I have a few Blu-Ray discs with boath LPCM, DTS and DTS-HD-Ma audio streams, but everytme I try one of them with DVD Audio Extractor, the DTS-HD-Ma streams never show up.

For example, I have a Blu-Ray disc with the following audio streams:
LPCM Stereo 24 bit 192 KHz
DTS 5.1 24 bit 192 KHz
DTS 5.1 24 bit 96 KHz
DTS-HD 5.1 24 bit 192 KHz
DTS-HD 7.1 24 bit 96 KHz
But, only the first three streams show up, even though the website says, that the program supports DTS-HD-Ma streams.

What could be wrong, and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards:
Aksel Christoffersen

This is not the right place to get help with DVD Audio Extractor.

However, what are you trying to do? The command line tool mkvextract, part of the MKVToolNix (https://mkvtoolnix.download) tools, can extract DTS-HD MA audio tracks. For example:

Code: Select all

user$ mkvmerge -i ./Die\ Hard.mkv 
File './Die Hard.mkv': container: Matroska
Track ID 0: video (MPEG-4p10/AVC/H.264)
Track ID 1: audio (DTS-HD Master Audio)
Track ID 2: audio (DTS)
Track ID 3: audio (AC-3)
Track ID 4: audio (AC-3)
Track ID 5: audio (AC-3)
Track ID 6: subtitles (HDMV PGS)
Track ID 7: subtitles (HDMV PGS)
Chapters: 56 entries

user$ mkvextract ./Die\ Hard.mkv tracks 1:diehardDTS.dts
Extracting track 1 with the CodecID 'A_DTS' to the file 'diehardDTS.dts'. Container format: Digital Theater System (DTS)
Progress: 100%

user$ mediainfo ./diehardDTS.dts

I tested with a movie I have already ripped. I used mkvmerge to get the track IDs. Track 1 is the DTS-HD MA (48 kHz). I used mkvextract to extract that track into a file I named diehardDTS.dts. Then I used mediainfo on that file to show that it does contain DTS-HD MA audio.

It could have something to do with the high sampling rate of your disc. I looked a little bit and it seems most of my discs are 48 kHz sampling rate. I didn't find one with a higher sampling rate.

Thank you for the replies, I think I'll try and ask somewhere else then.

The problem is not to extract the audio stream it self. DVD Audio Extractor is a progran, which can extract audio streams to multible files divided by chapters, and can extract to multible audio formats. It's meant to be used with DVD-Audio and Blu-Ray-Audio discs.
It could be the high sampling rate, but I'm not sure, since DVD-Audio and Blu-Ray-Audio often has samplin-rates 96 KHz and more.
