The ALAC codec (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) is the only one (aside from DTS-HD) that can encode to a wider range of mappings. If playing MKV thru Nullsoft Directshow plugin than rules for *1 apply. *2: Winamp maps properly with the in_wv plugin. Custom mapping thru the same ffdshow_audio_decoder window can fix that. *1: Bsplayer/MPC-HC require "System Default" as audio output and the ffdshow audio decoder with "Uncompressed: all supported" in the Codecs section, and they map BL-BR-BC to SL-BC-SR.

MKV supports WavPack lossless files so H.264 + WV in MKV could be a good choice for HD ripping.įrom my testing with a 6.1ch 96kHz 24bit WavPack track (BL-BR-BC mapping), FB2K only outputs 5.1 (BL-BC) but BSPlayer, MPC-HC and Winamp play the file without a problem. Using raw input, the result is a bogus file the same size as the source WAV.Īs an alternative, WavPack does allow for 6.1 mapping so you might wanna try it. The FLAC CLI encoder (1.2.1) doesn't recognize 6.1 mapping nor in WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE neither in WAVE_PCM (with raw input commands). Still, as far as I've tested, 6.1 is not supported by FLAC encoders and/or decoders. Select the track you want to decode and click the button) (To decode a DTS-HD track with proper header, load it into the Streamplayer, click "Playlist" on the right upper corner, then you'll see the "Decode to PCM" button. It would be a matter of using something like CenterCutGui to get the matrixed Cs channel from the Ls-Rs pair.


The standalone DTS-HD Streamplayer can decode a DTS-HD 6.1 ES Matrix file into 7 mono wavs including the Cs channel, but it won't recognize DTS-HD files without the proper header, which is what happens when a the DTS-HD track is muxed into BluRay/MKV/M2TS/etc.Ī DTS-HD track demuxed from these sources won't be valid for the Streamplayer, only files that were not modified after being encoded with the DTS-HD MA suite will work.īut it can be decoded by eac3to. I've got the new one running, I don't see how I can save to. Do I need the older SoundCode DTS-HD StreamPlayer, which is a plugin to Pro Tools, or is the newer standalone DTS-HD StreamPlayer (the official DTS one, not the old SoundCode one) ok as well?
