Jurassic Park DTS-HD MA shows as 5.1

Post by kghoops »

First time Handbrake user, trying to get settings tweaked to begin some Blu-ray conversions. Started with Jurassic Park. I'm not understanding Handbrake's audio track labeling.

Using an MKV file from MakeMKV. Handbrake 1.0.7 (2017040900) on Windows 7 shows the DTS-HD MA audio track as "1 English (DTS-HD MA) (5.1 ch)" when adding the audio tracks but this should be the 7.1 audio track. In my attached Activity Log, it seems to show a 7.1 being found.

Thanks!

That's normal, as our DTS decoder doesn't support many of the HD extensions. So if you re-encode the track, it will decode the 5.1 core instead. If you use DTS-HD Passthru, the entire 7.1 track will be copied to the output, however.
