![]() ![]() ![]() The idea is that if the player or amplifier cannot handle the lossless stream, it will automatically output the hidden core audio stream, with no need for the user to do anything (for example, on a player using lightpipe for the audio to an amplifier) and when created with a proper Blu-ray DTS Encoder such as the DTS-HD MAS Encoder Suite, the core audio stream will automatically get created to the correct standard. dtshd - has 2 components - the core audio & the lossless extensions. The 'gotcha' is that you will need a bloody expensive dongle (a MacBook) to make it run though.Sorry I did not see this sooner - let's go through what should work & what the specs say.ĭTS-HD Master Audio is treated in exactly the same way as Dolby True HD - whilst the codec itself has what the specs call "Mandatory Support" (ie all players must be capable of decoding it), exactly what is mandated is another story & it turns out that only the stereo form is mandatory - all surround forms are optional, and it is quite possible to have the DTS-HD Master Audio or the Dolby True HD light up on your amplifier to be actually hearing DTS Core Audio or even AC3.Ī 5.1 DTS-HD MAS stream - extension is. So anybody who has a license for this that has stopped working should absolutely get onto DTS - PM me and I will be more than happy to give you the exact wording I used that got results for me. To my complete surprise, this is what then happened and was waiting in my in-box this morning - and I will redeem the iLOK code shortly, in case they cancel it after reading this thread (which is extremely unlikely I admit). The approach I used was that I had paid a lot of money in good faith for a perpetual license, and who was going to pay for the 'upgrade' please & that IMO the least they could do would be to provide me with a free one. ![]() To say I was not exactly impressed would be an understatement but the long & short of it is that I got a free DTS-X encoder from them, so anybody with the same issue as me should absolutely write to DTS support. I guess you can imagine my response to that. ![]() They replied telling me that this is no longer supported, and told me I could buy an upgrade to the (Mac only) DTS-X encoder. Yes, I did go back to DTS for support, and as I explained to them in the follow-up this encoder cost me a lot of money at the time. ![]()
