[QUOTE="jmone, post: 76182, member: 19232"] FYI some backgroud on the MPEG/DTS Format as it really is not that strange is identical to DVD. I actually own these DVD's and thought it would be cool to break them up into tracks onto the HDD like you do CDs so you can do playlists, skip the crap ones etc. I simply used DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD by Chapter selecting the audio stream I wanted (normally a choice between a digital 5.1 format (DD or DTS) and PCM). As I've got a good 5.1 system, I've been ripping these DVD's in what ever 5.1 format is on the disk (ether DD or DTS). Once DVD Decrypter has droped these on the HDD all I have to do is rename them from Chapter_XX.VOB to TITLE.MPG and I had a folder containing each track as an indivual file. This process does NOT convert/transcode either the video or audio track - it is a perfect copy of each chapter but as individual files. The playing of these files was fine using Showtime / Nero Home (but this prog is not as good at MP IMHO) regardless of if the audio was PCM/DD/DTS. It seems that MP & WMP is fine with a MPEG/PCM or MPEG/DD combo but not MEPG/DTS for some reason. I know that my setup can play them so I am assuming it is some form of logic error that prevents the audio track from being recognised correctly. FYI for those interested, [url]http://www.savefile.com/files/50512[/url] is an example file (Note: it is 38MB and the video is just a static image but the sound tracks is DTS) Lyxalig / scoop I'll look at your segestions after the next chaper of Lord of the Rings playing DTS perfectly from DVD using Media Portal!
