Decoding DTS-HD with MakeMkv?

Post by chefjeff1373 » Sun Oct 12, 2014 1:35 pm

I'd like to perform DTS-HD decoding with MakeMkv.
Any suggestions on where to find a "dtsdecoderdll.dll"
that is malware / spyware free? MakeMkv site pointed
toward ArcSoft TMT but I couldn't find trial software due
to ArcSoft discontinuing the TMT player.
Running Win7 Pro x64.

Once I find this illusive *.dll where exactly do I put it in the MakeMkv app?

Thanks for helping out:)

-or-

-or any number of download sites-

For MakeMKV itself it doesn't matter where you put it, you just go into view | preferences | advanced and enter its location in 'dtsdecoderdll.dll location'.

This has probably been asked, but the forum search didn't get results. Is this file necessary for reading the stream, or just transcoding to another format?

Just transcoding. Any old program can de/remux the thing.

I am trying to do the same thing. 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.

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.

1: Click on View on the menu bar on the top of the program window, then click on preferences. The advanced tab is the one furthest to the right.
2: MakeMKV won't convert anything to anything unless you choose the right profile, the FLAC profile comes with the program or you can write your own, I don't believe there's a standard profile that converts to PCM so you'll most likely have to customize one.
3: Make sure you set the default selection properly to select the DTS-MA track and not just it's core.
