DTS-HD Decoding

Post by Rapscallion »

I would LOVE to see Handbrake be able to truly decode a DTS-HD Lossless audio stream (not the core DTS Lossy stream) for encoding into FLAC (or whatever other audio codec you like). PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

Why not passthrough? What supports FLAC but not DTS-HD?

I thought Handbrake already did DTS-MA decoding, meaning transcoding to FLAC is possible (some players can't do the lossless part of DTS-MA plus it's a commercial codec so there are licensing issues, but FLAC is FOSS--spec is BSD, program is GPL).

Only the DTS core is decoded. HandBrake uses libav for decoding and it doesn't have support for decoding the full DTS-HD stream.
