DTS Passthru from DTS-HD audio results in missing audio after encoding to mkv

[TSCH]

Whenever I choose a dts hd audio file in my source and just want to keep dts by selecting "dts passthru" the audio file in the decoded mkv is empty.

Handbrake Nightly or stable same problem.

OS is Windows 10 Pro.

Code: Select all

 PPassthru requested and input codec is not the same as output codec for track 1, dropping track

DTS and DTS-HD are not the same for pass through. There is a separate pass through option for DTS-HD.

DTS and DTS-HD are not the same for pass through. There is a separate pass through option for DTS-HD.

Woodstock is correct.

[TSCH]

So may be I'm wrong here.

My intention is to extract only the dts stream to the encoded mkv from the source mkv with dts-hd.

Is this not possible with handbrake or do I have to use another option for the audio track?

[Deleted User 11865]

This is indeed not possible with HandBrake, unless you feed it a Blu-ray structure (or at least an M2TS transport stream) as input (in which case the DTS core will be presented as a separate track).

[TSCH]

All right. Thanks a lot for your replies and making me clear thar mkv ist not the right format for archiving BluRays.

[Woodstock]

What did you use to rip the BD?

The default in MakeMKV is to make separate tracks for the DTS core and DTS-HD. For example, Zootopia has a DTS-HD 7.1 track, but MakeMKV also extracts the core out to a DTS Surround 5.1 track.

That second track could be passed through using handbrake's DTS pass through option.
