I know that with film soundtracks, people often claim the DTS track is better. I don't know if there's something inherent in the format that makes it so, or if it's simply capable of being better; I guess it's always possible that somebody will do a shoddy job of encoding one and not the other.

You're right, and although I've mentioned that somewhere in this thread, the main instructions should say it. I've updated the first few posts and the wiki page accordingly. Using **.dts* is the preferred way to run it, in fact. Sometimes a DVD chapter will not align perfectly with a DTS frame boundary, so a single DTS frame will start in one extracted file and end in another. If the files are processed separately, the utility will discard the incomplete frame at the end of the first file, and skip past the junk (which has no frame header) at the start of the second. If you process them all together, the utility will save any partial frame from the end of a file and try to match it with the start of the next file. Sorry, I won't be much help with your other questions about audio fidelity. My interest in this project was getting multichannel sound out -- I doubt I'm capable of hearing the difference between recordings with different sample rates or bit depth. :D -- smst ------------------------------------------------------------------------ smst's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=752 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
