DTS Audio / 5.1 audio track to Dolby Digital Audio / 5.1

Post by sfuma » Fri Dec 02, 2022 10:11 pm

New TVs do not support DTS Audio. Is it possible to transcode a DTS Audio / 5.1 audio track to Dolby Digital Audio / 5.1 without additional steps?

Certainly some new TVs support DTS audio.

In any case, MakeMKV has a thing called conversion profiles. A conversion profile can be used to do on-the-fly audio conversion during a rip. I sometimes use it convert Dolby TrueHD audio to FLAC since my setup can't process TrueHD audio. I've never tried to create a profile to convert DTS into an AC3 5.1 audio track, but since there's a tiny version of ffmpeg embedded in MakeMKV, it could in theory do this.

I figured out DTS 5.1 and converted it to ACC. But I also have a Dolby Digital 4.0 track that needs to be converted to ACC. Is it possible to do this?

It would be nice if the developers added functionality to add your own audio track. Since there is not always an available translation to Blu Ray.

Noticed one mistake. If you have set a stereo profile, the attachment is not saved. How to fix it?
