Remuxing Blu-ray .M2TS to .MKV using DTS-MA?
ejp posted 2008 Jun 26 01:54
I'm able to extract the .m2ts from the Blu-ray disk and extract both the audio and video streams from that. I can play the .m2ts file flawlessly.

I remux the audio and video into a .mkv container and it has trouble decoding the same audio stream (DTS-HD Master Audio).

CoreAVC w/ Haali Media Splitter
AC3Filter as my preferred decoder
FFDShow to decode everything else
Media Player Classic for playback

... this is pretty much all I have installed. No PowerDVD or anything.

Why am I able to decode the audio fine in the .m2ts container and not in the .mkv container? Codec setting? Remux setting?

Edit: Yes, I was able to extract the core DTS stream and use this, but I'd rather use the DTS-HD MA if possible.

ejp.

In order to play DTS-HD audio you must have an amplifier with HDMI 1.3A.

I'm afraid that Media Center PC won't support DTS-HD just yet, also MKV container is not suitable for this audio stream anyway. If you want to keep DST-HD you must use TS container instead. The only player that i know supports DTS-HD is M6500A, where you can get anywhere in the internet, but I found:

DATOptic.com offers High Def Network Media Player - TVIX (DVICO is the manufacture) bundle with a Software to convert M2TS, EVO, VOB... to MKV,TS, DVIX, XVID... Which I use to bring the size of 28GB to a DVD-R. Here is what they state:

++++++++++++++++++++++++
Our M6500A comes with software and instructions of how to convert M2TS (Bluray), EVO (HDDVD), VOB (DVD)... to MKV (H.264), TS, XVID, DIVX, AVI formats at full 1080p. From 18GB - 29GB file to a DVD-R or DL DVD-R.

Now support:

* DTS-HD audio (TS container)
* Convert DTS-HD to DTS, Dolby TrueHD to AC3 5.1
* Size prediction...

Email to support at datoptic.com to get a copy
++++++++++++++++++++++++

I bough TWO of TVIX - M4100SH and M6500A, the only one supports DTS-HD is M6500A and I have to play it through my Onkyo TX-SR605S via HDMI connection, where my BOSE Life Style could not play

Hope this help!

If you have a playstation 3 you might try streaming it to that then to your stereo equipment. I believe the playstation 3 can play m2ts files.

I may be wrong. I don't think PS3 supports M2ST with DTS-HD audio.
Also M2TS is TOO BIG (20~30GB per movie) for a computer storage, where TS ans MKV are much more space efficient
Check out the MKV and TS container format!

Just an update.

limHD-310s - A High Definition Network Player has the ability to convert DTS-MA/True-HD (7.1) to DTS-core/AC3 (5.1) on fly.

This solve the problem of playing DTS-MA/True-HD (7.1) in non DTS-MA/True-HD (7.1) supported AV system.

Check this unit out.
