Excellent app, I use it all the time as I have a Sonos Playbar that doesn't like DTS. I've used it since I had a Popcorn Media player years ago, but now I play through Kodi; I could just leave the DTS and have Kodi covert, but the size difference with DD means it's worth converting to save the space. I put all new downloads through it, works really well, the only thing it's struggled with is FLAC audio on some downloads. Glad it's still being supported and thanks to the people maintaining it

It took 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I can not see the progress indicator. When it will be ready? The output file is silent.

EAC3 batch conversion is available using the Simple AudioConversion item in the File Menu.

Started Using This A Looooong Time Ago. At The Time I Had Gotten PopCorn Hour And Found This The Hands Down Easiest Way To Manage Audio. Stopped Using It For A While Came Back About 3 Years Ago And Found A Ton Of Great Changes...

I Would Only Take 1 Point Away Because It Doesn't Do EAC3 Batch (All These Knew Shows Are Now EAC3)... So I Started Using FFMEG Batch Files Instead. That Still Leaves This Program With A Solid 10 Because Everything It Does It Does Perfectly.

It Is My #1 Recommendation For Those Who Want Ease Of Use That Works.

Thank You, Mr. Hansen For All The Great Work, It Is Appreciated.

Wonderful software...it would be perfect if there would be the option to batch convert AC3 Multichannel to Stereo. "Re-sample AC3 audio tracks" only manage single files and "Simple AudioConversion" doesn't manage AC3 tracks (E-AC3 only).

Popcorn MKV Audioconverter is not compatible with Windows 10 Creators editon. It fails the compatibility test and the exe file is automatically deleted.

My Samsung TV won't play the audio for DTS encoded MKVs, and the first program I found to remedy the situation happened to be this one, and I'm glad it was. It's a beautiful piece of freeware that does exactly I needed it to, and very efficiently...a full movie in 720p (5.7GB) was converted from DTS to AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio in less than 2 minutes! Granted, I have an overclocked i7, but still, impressive. I haven't tested any other functionality, but so far so good...cheers to the dev!

Version 1.87.73 is great. Helped me a lot to convert DTS to AC3 Audio. But I found a small bug. When you run the program around midnight (eg. 11:50pm) and the convertion goes through the other day, the program looses the temporary folder (it creates a temp folder using the date). So you must run it again. But it is not a big problem. Thanks a lot.

PROBLEM WITH RUSSIAN MOVIES

I get an error whenever I'm trying to convert rips with Russian DTS track, not just once, a bunch of different BluRay rips from different sources of best rip quality.

My bad regarding the comment below, on my 2nd install, PopCorn MKV AudioConverter 1.87.2 did automatically download all the relevant software and placed them in the tools folder. Great program!

PopCorn MKV AudioConverter 1.87.2, so glad I found this software. I wanted to play MkV HD movies via the USB port on my flat screen TV but it would'nt play back the DTS audio. Using this software I was able to convert a 10GB MkV movie with DTS audio to AC3 audio in about 10 mins on my very first attempt, everything worked. One point to note is that I had to find then download the individual tools myself, most are available on videohelp.com. The GUI will flash a red warning if any tools are missing and the "run" button will be greyed out until all tools are present, once done the software runs beautifully and the results are great, many thanks to the developers.

The only problem I've had is my own lack of knowledge. Once I was clued-in the "Ah-ha!" moment happened. Works great.

But the Tools can not be downloaded from developer's site either - there is also only the exe. I always updated with the exe only from this site but beginning with 1.86 it does not open a window so I can not see anything. If I reinstall 1.85 it works normally...

This is the executable only, and the link to the developers web site gives you a sign-up screen, so you can't download an entire package unless you create an account.

Latest version 1.86 and 1.87 does not even start on my computer. It appears in the task manager but I can not see any window. 1.85 is working fine! Please help!

What a wonderful tool! In order to convert the DTS to ac3, I've searched the converters and finally I chosed this wonderful tool. It is so easy that I just click my mouse and wait. All the works were done automaticlly and perfectly.

But I still have a request: I bought a TV , but it doesn't support DTS or AC3, only support AAC. I hope Popcorn MKV Audioconverter can convert DTS/AC3 to ACC directly in the future. Because there are so many 1080p movies that with DTS or AC3, but my TV cannot decode their audio tracks. Many TVs that are not expensive also can't decode AC3 tracks.

Thank you for your so wonderful tools,Thank you a lot.

Review by Maiandros on Apr 6, 2011 Version: 1.84 OS: Linux Ease of use: 9/10 Functionality: 9/10 Value for money: 10/10 Overall: 8/10




The GUI doesn't fit the screen, and my monitor is set to its maximum resolution: 1280x800.
I click on the box in the top corner to make it maximum size or window size, but it makes no difference.
This program is not good for laptop screens.
Even "compatibility settings" don't fix anything.
in short, this program is a bust if you got a tiny screen.
i hate to see people run this in the old 1024x768 resolutions.
Too bad, looks like it had some nice features.

I've downloaded this from the direct link and the author's web site and all I get is version 1.80.1 and not 1.81. Is this supposed to be 1.80.1 or 1.81?

I just wanted to add that once you have this tool set up, batch muxing and converting the audio for a folder full of .mkv files is very easy and convenient. Basically just select the input and output folders and hit the Run button. The gui could use a bit of work such as letting the user resize it. It seems to want to be the height of the desktop insisting on being underneath the Taskbar on the bottom of the screen. That doesn't really hinder usage very much. It's just a minor annoyance. But it does what it's designed to do.

Review by MilesAhead on Dec 30, 2009 Version: 1.8 OS: Vista 64-bit Ease of use: 9/10 Functionality: 9/10 Value for money: 10/10 Overall: 9/10




I was using MKVextractGui, MKVmergeGui and the little dts2ac3 batch folder package to demux DTS, convert audio to ac3, then mux. This tool does all that, plus it will download the MKV tools if you don't already have them.

The ui is a little bit quirky, which is the reason for the 8 score. If you have a blinking red error msg try doing the audio settings again even if you already set them. Then the error msg may disappear(at least that's what happened on my first use.)

But such things you get used to if you use a program often. I think I will be using this one regularly. Thanks to the author for making this tool available.

If you have the first generation of WD HDTV player for USB, which doesn't down mix DTS, then this is a good tool to have in your media toolkit.

All those with any nmt based solution, knows the problem: ogm files won't play, and DTS audio is not always available on your TV.

This tool converts automatically the audio to AC3, also remuxes your ogm files to mkv. So, they can be playable to your nmt easy, fast and free. Officially is a tool for the lucky owners of the Popcorn Hour A100, but nothing prohibits it to be used for free if you have any other nmt based player.

It is very easy to use and you need an Internet connection to download external tools. It is an automatic procedure, you won't need to do a thing.

Overall, a tool (a GUI actually of various tools) that gives a solution to a specific problem. You know when you need it!
