![]() To do DTS 6.1 ES I need MKV files, but not the 20+ GB ones I get from MakeMKV. Handbrake appears to only decode DTS, not encode it. Snakes on a Plane in DTS-ES 6.1 produced a very convincing soundfield of snakes coming out of the back of my room and around my couch. My setup is only 6.1 anyway so losing 1 channel in the 7.1 soundtrack won't matter, but 6.1 is definitely preferable to 5.1 for many films (e.g. I basically want 720p or 1080p re-encoded video with DTS-ES 6.1 soundtracks. I do know from converting my various DTS-ES DVDs that XBMC will play DTS-ES 6.1 discrete soundtracks just fine through XBMC. Is there anything out there that can create a standard DTS-ES 6.1 discrete soundtrack for use with MKVs? In other words, Handbrake will let you re-encode the video so it takes up less space, but to keep 7.1 sound you have to just "pass-through" the DTS-HD soundtrack which is HUGE and may not play correctly on a CrystalHD AppleTV Gen1 in XBMC (just got my card a few days ago and haven't installed it yet). What I can't fathom is why, if QT can play the MP4 audio now why does HB not simply adjust the video to ATV format and leave the audio in tact, it's already working TQVM!!!Īny help much appreciated in case I encounter this again. Typed before I sling the darned laptop out the window!!! HB has never given a problem before but this file is confounding it and me. And, if any of the software is the problem it's instant ditch. ![]() Jeez, if I never get a file like this to convert again it'll be too soon!!!!! NEVER again. Still no sound!!!!!Īny help much appreciated as the more I read on this the more options I try, the more files I create all for Handbrake to fail to deliver a file I can play in iTunes or on ATV. So I fire the Mp4 file through Handbrake with the ATV 3 settings. VLC will happily play the original MKV and now QT will happily play the MP4. bearing in mind this is the abridged version after hours wasted on this, I try MP4 tools. Is that the problem I thought? So I try to edit. I load the file into that and notice the audio and the video are in language 'Unknown'. So I read read read read read and try to fathom which of the gazilion software solutions might fix this. I end up with a 4 min audio file and no sound. So, like an idiot, I fire it through Handbrake thinking it'll work. So I have the MKV file and its files are as below in the image. ALL DAY just trying to convert one stupid file!!!!! I'm not sure what it is I hate, handbrake or MKV! Sorry about yet another post on this but I'm really going round in circles here.
