![]() If it is being cut down to 16 at any point, then obviously that's not good. The only thing I'd check to make sure of is whether the bit depth of the DTS-HD MA is being retained: if the original was 24-bit, the decoded output should be 24-bit also. ![]() I used mkvtools to extract the FLAC audio and it gave me a valid FLAC that I could then decode to multichannel wav.Īuthor hairy_hen Time 1 5:45 PM (Edited) Post link But I haven't been successful in using VLC to transcode to 5.1 wav, only a stereo downmix.Īuthor rnranimal Time 1 2:48 PM Post link VLC plays it and reports that the audio is 5.1 FLAC. ? as the extension and no decoder programs see it as a valid FLAC file, even after renaming. I then used imkvextract to extract just the FLAC file from the MKV. This program will convert the DTS-HD to 5.1 FLAC as part of a MKV, but I don't think it's able to save just the FLAC file. Makemkv- I used this to create a mkv with FLAC audio. I would like to keep each of the 5.1 tracks, not downmix to stereo. I have a blu-ray rip and I'd like to convert the DTS-HD audio to wav or flac files. On MAC: Convert DTS-HD to wav/flac Author rnranimal Date, 7:06 AM Author rnranimal Time 7:06 AM Post link I chose here to simply export the audio it contained.On MAC: Convert DTS-HD to wav/flac - Original Trilogy Sign In IMkvExtract lets you split an MKV file into its constituent parts. This may be resolved in the future, but for now I was stuck. I don’t know if this is because MakeMKV didn’t make the MKV files correctly, or if VLC simply can’t handle exports from such large files. This worked for short tracks-trailers on the discs from two minutes to four minutes long-but failed with every type of settings for longer tracks. If you choose File > Streaming/Exporting Wizard, you can choose to export the MKV file in a number of formats, one of which is an audio extraction. Theoretically, you should be able to do this with VLC as well. But I wanted to extract the audio from them. VLC media player, and they do, indeed, look great on a Mac. To watch these files, you can use the free Here I chose the 2-channel audio mix, and not the surround-sound mix. Using MakeMKV, I chose which parts of the Blu-ray disc to rip. The resulting files are very big-one disc, a piano recital lasting two hours and 10 minutes, is about 25 GB another, a four-hour opera, is about 31 GB. Ripping is relatively quick-it took one to one-and-a-half hours for each of the two discs I ripped. This process rips the content of the disc to an MKV file-removing the copy-protection at the same time-but does not compress it. I chose specific titles, and also specific audio tracks (in my case, I left out the surround-sound mixes). MakeMKV, I was able to choose which parts of a disc I wanted to rip. Using the currently-free-because-it’s-in-beta Forunately, Macworld Senior Editor Jonathan Seff had done the heavy lifting for me, To start with, you need to rip the Blu-ray disc to a format that you can manipulate. Written about doing this from DVDs, and assumed it would be a similar process.) So, to this end, I bought an external Blu-ray drive and set out to figure out how to get the music from my Blu-ray discs into my iTunes library. I wasn’t interested in the surround-sound mixes-I don’t have the appropriate equipment to play back music in such formats-just the stereo tracks. I recently got it into my head that I wanted to rip the audio from some of these to be able to listen to them on my office stereo. As such, I have a number of Blu-ray discs of classical concerts and operas. Regular readers of this column know that I’m a classical music fan. So our advice is: If you don’t own it, don’t do it. Currently, the law isn’t entirely clear one way or the other. We (and others) think that, if you own a DVD, you should beĪble to override its copy protection to make a backup copy or to convert its content for viewing on other devices. [Editor’s note: The MPAA and most media companies argue that you can’t legally copy or convert commercial DVDs for any reason.
