| I can't hear audio when playing the following MKV on WDTV media player:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 23.98fps [English (Video 1)] Audio: DTS 48000Hz 6ch [English (Audio 1)] Subtitle: UTF-8 [English (Subtitle 1)] The WDTV is using composite (RCA) outputs. Is this normal? | ||

| The WDTV doesn't have the ability to down mix DTS to stereo (RCA outputs). If you plug the digital audio port into a receiver with DTS decoding you'll get audio. The new WDTV Live (aka WDTV2) has DTS down mixing to stereo. | ||

| You could use PopCorn MKV AudioConverter, which simply converts the audio in an MKV file from DTS to AC3.
It's simple enough to use, but you have to download a few small programs which it needs before you can use it. | ||

| How long does it take to convert the audio from DTS to AC3? | ||

With a 90 min MKV, around 5 minutes or so on my system. |
