So you’re doing a Bluray rip, you open the m2ts, and you see over 9000 audio tracks sitting there. You probably go “…” and then you… No. Stop. Did you just pick something with DTS in the name? Danger, Will Robinson! Stop right there!
DTS FLASHFACTS:
- It is a lossy codec
- It uses constant bitrate at 1509.75 kbit/s (at least on blurays)
- It is so hilariously inefficient that FLAC (a lossless codec) usually manages to compress better than it, even with 6 channels of movie audio
DTS isn’t just a hilariously inefficient codec, it’s also criminally incompetent of you to use it when a Dolby TrueHD track is available. If you extract the TrueHD track and convert it to FLAC, you will not only get a lossless track instead of a lossy one, it’s also quite likely that you’ll save space!
BUT BUT BUT MY AUDIO RECEIVER CAN’T DECODE FLAC!!?!
Shut up about your goddamn receiver. If you still believe the bullshit about the decoder (bit-exact decoding, yo) and/or DAC being better than the ones in your computer and you also think you’re able to hear the difference, you’re one of those insane audiophile spergers and I can’t really help you. Still, if your receiver isn’t some ancient piece of shit from the 90’s it will have a HDMI input, and then you can pass as many LPCM channels as you want to it with that.
Also, don’t even get started about DTS-HD, there’s nothing that plays that.
TL;DR: just stop using DTS, you goddamned mongoloids
edit: don’t get started on zOMG DTS ENGINEERS either, faggots

It’s not 1508 kbit/s.
It’s 1509.75 kbit/s.
Hear, hear!

And people, for Jesus’ sake, if you’re going to encode to Vorbis, AAC, MPC or whatever to save some bytes, encode from the lossless track and not from the lossy one. Thank you.
“Still, if your receiver isn’t some ancient piece of shit from the 90’s it will have a HDMI input, and then you can pass as many LPCM channels as you want to it with that.”
POS from 2004, but I have nothing that accepts a HDMI input so upgrading would be a pointless endeavour (and bloody expensive to boot). DD or DTS, either is fine as long as I get mah surroond soonds.
Or ffdshow can just transcode it itself I guess.
Nobody relevant cares about surround sound, just release stereo FLAC.
nice troll against dts faggots. idk why people are using DTS audio in blurayrips if theres flac they could use. anyway, good enlighten for dts fools out there.
Whats wrong with DTS-HD…? I can decode it fine.
PS yay FLAC.
Why do people use FLAC? Your normal human ears can’t tell the difference between lossless FLAC and VBR AAC. Not unless you are sitting in a soundproof room and have freaking vacuum tube speakers.
Its the biggest waste of space.
Even worst than DTS is AC3…
Sorry for being stupid but do you mean all of DTS?
Does this include DTS-HD Master Audio (normally found on Blu-rays)? As according to the wiki its lossless

This shit is a total fucking useless waste of space. It’s even more inefficient than TrueHD, it can’t be decoded without a proprietary decoder and it sucks big time compared to FLAC in terms of space.
dts was LATE for DVD. Then Blu-Ray came. Where was dts???? NOWHERE! All Blu-Ray players had to WAIT for Firmware updates. They are lazy cheaters anyway. They wait to see what Dolby does then add more bits to make it LOUDER. Louder is NOT better. Ask all the THOUSANDS of people who had their speakers BLOWN OUT due to dts bitstream and how LOUD it is! Those people are mad as hell. dts…..GO AWAY! Losers! datasat is another dts crap branch. GO AWAY D-ata HOG T-imes S-EVEN!
Dolby 5.1 EX should be on everything!
Send this to anyone you want.

[…] Read up this link. Just for reference, my 476 music collection in FLAC format averaged at 900 kbps. That’s the average on the arguably audio type which requires highest bitrate. In other news, cryptw’s Summer Wars in FLAC weighs at 1329 kbps. That’s 6 channels. This entry was posted in anime, links, random, software and tagged flac. Bookmark the permalink.
