can't play dts audio

[jayantadak]

Hi,
I just downloaded a few dts audio files. It was 1.41 GB in all. It played well in my PC through the VLC player, KMplayer, GOM player. Next I copied these files on external hard disc and tried to play it through WDTV live media player, but WDTV failed to recognize the files at all, leave aside playing it off. I browsed through the file managment, there too the files were not found. Only the cover of the album was found in the jpg section.

Is there any way playing these files through the WDTV LIVE.

For the perusal of our forum users I have noted the codecs while playing it via the VLC which are as follows:

Type: Audio
Codec: DTS Audio (dts)
Sample rate: 4800 Hz
Bitrate : 1536 Kb/s

Thanks

JAYANT

Most of the media players can't play DD/DTS Audio Only files... They do play well when encapsulated within a video file container with video.. This is strange, but true..

go into sound option of the device and change settings of sound output....

If you want to bitstream the DTS tracks to your AVR over a DD or HDMI connection, then try to rename the .DTS files to .WAV and play them as regular WAV files.

I am using a Asus O!Play Mini + some downloaded .DTS files renamed to .WAV to get them to play. This does not work always. I have one .DTS file, which does not work, but all the rest work fine.

Funnily enough, I could not get VLC player to bitstream the DTS tracks over SPDIF on my system

VLC has never passed through DTS right for me as well.. I usually use AC3filter to do so.

Renaming to .wav from .dts works sometimes. The best method is to use MKV Merge and remux to .mka. It works fine in WDTV Live.

DTS isn't compatible. It works to convert the audio from DTS to AC3 or other more common formats like MP3. How to Convert DTS to AC3 for Playing any Movie on Your TV?
Just follow the tutorial that provides the method of converting DTS audio to other formats.
