I have a lot of DVD-A discs that also have a DTS stream available to play on non DVD-A players. Since the format of the disc is the same as a standard DVD, i.e. Video and Audio TS folders, it's not as easy to rip as a DTS-CD is, which looks just like an audio CD but the files are encoded.
Anyway, I got an idea to try playing the stream into one of our ProTools systems. It all recorded GREAT via SPDIF out of the DVD player... nothing was changed in the process EXCEPT the incoming file was at 48KHz, standard for Videoland. I cleaned up the top and tail of the file to match what I remembered hearing on a DTS-CD and saved the file. I then opened BarbaBatch, which is a file format conversion program to SRC from 48K to 44.1. The resultant file was then converted using FLAC (like I had done with my DTS-CDs) and put onto my SlimServer Music drive. The server played the file, but it didn't decode. I didn't have a lot of time to play with it, so I may take some time between now and New Years to try it again. I may even try playing the final AIFF file before conversion to FLAC. Theoretically it SHOULD WORK, as long as the digital stream remains UNCHANGED. Dolby Digital works this way in the video world... I do it on a regular basis sending Dolby mixes back to DigiBETA video as a digital stream. At least I thought DTS worked the same... maybe not! -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30461 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
