Hi

I read the guide on the wiki and have a partial success:

- I rip the DTS-tracks with DVD Audio Extractor with the setting
"Direct Stream Demux" which gives a number of dts-files as output

- I use the script "spdifconvert.py" to handle the dts-files, which are
"padded" appropriately and the output are a number of wav-files.
- ripper DTS-lydsporet med programmet DVD Audio Extractor med
indstillingen "Direct Stream Demux", hvilket giver et antal dts-filer
som output

- I use FLAC to encode the wav-files to FLAC-format using the command
line:

for %F in (*.wav) do flac --best "%F"

- At last I'm using MediaMonkey for tagging the files appropriately.

Furthermore I've done the necessary changes (I think) in SqueezeCenter
and I have succeeded in getting a surround signal from the SqueezeBox
to the receiver when playing the dts-files using the
toslink-connection. I like this :-)

BUT I can't seem to do the trick with ac3-files!

I've done the same as above (with filename-changes etc) and I get
flac-encoded ac3-files as output. But when I play these through the
squeezebox the receiver (Sone STR-DB940 - old but supports DTS and DD)
I get a stereo signal through the toslink connection and white noise
through the analogue connection (the samt kind of noise as the
dts-files delivers when played through analogue)

I can't figure out why DTS-files are played fine but AC3 are played in
stereo (even though I rip the 6-channel tracks!) - I've tried playing
the same DVDs from my (very cheap) DVD-player and both optical and
coaxial connection feeds my receiver with a surround signal!

Some of my DVDs only have AC3-tracks so of course I would like to be
able to rip these as well but I can't figure out what my problem might
be!?

Furthermore some DVDs have both AC3 and DTS tracks - which one should I
prefer?

Regards, Tommy Ipsen (New owner of SqueezeBox and preparring to push
it's limits)
