Dvd audio extractor 5.1 install#

You will need to change references to ffdcaenc.exe, sox.exe & flac.exe in the files below to where you have them on your machine. It may take a bit of time to set up but I think it's worth it. Python 2.6 is available here: Python 2.6 Release Spdifconvert.py is available here: steve-tregidgo/spdifconvert

Dvd audio extractor 5.1 install#

it won't work with later versions of python but you can install more than one version on your machine if you need python for anything else. You don't have to use the BAT files - you could type all the commands in manually but it would be slow and labour intensive.ĭVDAExplorer is available here: DVD-Audio Explorer 20080721 Beta 3 Free Download - VideoHelpįfdcaenc is available here: filler56789/ffdcaenc-2 - download the zip and unzip it to wherever you want to run it from - no install neededįor wrapping the DTS as WAV you'll need spdifconvert.py and python 2.6. I have spent quite a lot of time building up a library of BAT files to automate all sort of audio file conversions.

Then you can encode the WAV as flac (if you like) and put the resulting flac files in your squeezebox library. This is not a 'real' PCM it is just the DTS wrapped as WAV. This can then be converted to a '.WAV' contained '.DTS' file. Once you have the WAVs in 48K then ffdcaenc can be used to create a '.DTS' file.

If you're ripping DVD-Audio the originals are likely to be 96K so I would downsample to 48K. I then use ffdcaenc to convert the Multichannel wav files extracted above into DTS.įirstly you need to downsample the wavs to either 48K or 44.1K. In a nutshell you select 'Convert To Wave' and check 'Merge Groups' leave everything else unchecked. There are a few options that are explained here: Explorer User Manual.html You use DVDAExplorer to extract these as WAV. For the purposes of the DTS conversion we are only interested in the 5.1 streams. It allows you to rip the 5.1 and 2.0 streams. I have done this for exactly the same reason you want to - I use a squeezebox to stream the 5.1 DTS files to my surround sound amp.
