|
 |
Is there a program that can do that, preferably with no loss of quality?
Thanks.

DTS -> AC3 = loss of quality.
If still want to do it, get both MKVToolnix (with MKVExtractGUI) and Eac3to. Extract the DTS track with MKVToolnix, convert the DTS track to AC3 and then use MKVToolnix to merge the old MKV with the new audio track. Video will not loose quality in this method.

heh, yes exactly Paintface, my sammy does not like DTS, and i dont really care much for loss of sound quality since im using default speakers so I probably will not even notice the difference.
Thank you both for the help.

Yeah it works great, thanks a lot paintface. Now all I need to do is convert all my movies to ac3, this is gonna take a while.
Also is that normal that some movies get lighter by almost 1 gig? Is that the difference in size between ac3 and dts? Im assuming only audio is affected by that program.

most DTS is 1.5 mbit while AC3 is 640K, so 500mb on a dvd5 sized rip / 1gb on a dvd9 sized rip is normal.

as far as audio quality goes, i cant tell the difference.
DTS gives 1500kb/s for all channells at all times, AC3 works different as it only gives 640kb/s to the channels that need it, so you could argue AC3 is the same quality with fewer bandwidth.
I think samsung tvs can play flac audio, so you couldalways code it into flac for one time viewing pleasure if you wanna watch it without quality loss.

Flac is also ~10% smaller than DTS.

Flac is ~10% smaller than DTS core. That's the absurd.
Both these inefficient AC3 and DTS are used as opposed to FLAC and AAC, because people have old ass receivers that can't decode them, and can't be bothered to connect their PCs to the receiver to decode on the PC and send PCM signal to the receiver.

Thread resurrection with another question.
What program can be used to hardcode the included subs. Not the separate srt file but the one that is already inside the mkv file.
Somebody recommended mkvmerge, but I cannot find an option (or the way) to do so.
And MKV2AC3 doesnt have it, at least I cant find it.
My tv doesnt show the included subs, and all those spanish parts in breaking bad are really annoying.
Thanks.

mkvmerge just throws the .srt file or whatever sub file you want into the container. Not sure how to hardcode them in the video itself though.
