Make DTS-Audio WAV Mch tracks (songs) playable on PC (& via SPDIF)!

**tpAVm** · 01-13-09 at 06:33 AM

I've seen lots of our forum members, as well as few...thousands of ppl searching hopelessly in the web, trying to find a way to play multichannel DTS.WAV Audio files on their PCs. So, I thought I should help you all. The main reason that made me to compile this tut is the total lack of working and updated tutorials for this task, even in sites like doom9.org or videohelp.com are. Available guides are/were based on "DTSparser", a fairly outdated tool which is no longer available for download (author's site is down). This tutorial is originally posted in tehparadox.com.

A. Apps to be used:
1. eac3to (freeware). Note: By the time I was completing this tut, a new version of eac3to just came out!

2. Eac3to and More GUI (freeware). This is the best GUI for eac3to.

3. Surcode DVD-DTS Encoder (quite expensive shareware)

Quote:

Surcode DVD Pro DTS Encoder v1.0.23

4. ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre (TMT)

Quote:

ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater BLURAY/HDDVD Player v2.1.6.113 & v2.1.6.121 / 125 Updates

B. Suggested apps to be installed in your system for eac3to to perform various tasks/conversions (not required for this specific process)
1. Nero 7 (search for it in our Applications section)
2. Sonic CinePlayer HD DVD decoder v4.3

C. Required process

Properties of the new .dts file should look like this:

Important note: If you try to directly convert your initial source dtswav file to dts padded, you'll fail. I guess this happens because eac3to fails to correctly read the wav headers and therefore it sends wrong stream's sample rate to Surcode DVD-DTS encoder. As a result, the app will refuse to encode. At least, this was happening until v2.87 of eac3to

ENJOY!!

You have to apply the patch first, after rebooting PC! Make sure you're running ANY exe (including keygens and patches) as administrator in Vista. Also, I forgot to mention that you have to install this app in Win XP SP2 compatibility mode, if you're on Vista.

Thank you so much! I was going to lose my sanity until I stumbled upon this site after searching and searching.

I did have a problem with the Surcode DTS encoder not being able to load after patching it. Just about to give up but searched the forums and found v1.0.29, after which the guide worked flawlessly. Again thx! u saved my life!

Hi,
I have a problem with my DTS Wav files that are recognized as a 2 way file…

I use the 3.14 EAC3TO version and I have installed Surcode DVD-DTS Encoder, Sonic CinePlayer HD DVD decoder v4.3and ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre

I don’t know what’s wrong…

Thank you for the great post. Any one who downloads Surcode DVD Pro DTS Encoder v1.0.23 should note that it includes trojans (per TrendMicro). You should look for v1.0.29 which can be found at:

I would have NEVER posted ANYTHING malicious (even unknowingly) in OUR forum! For that reason, I'm always checking my shares. This file was scanned with KIS 2009 BEFORE sharing here and found to be clean.
Thanks anyway for the additional link.
