first of all, Handbrake is a great Software, thanks for all your work.
I'am new at using this Software and got some good results, but there is one confusing thing for me.
I can't find a clear answer in the FAQ or google.
I have a Blu-ray with these audio codec's:
Code: Select all
Codec Language Bitrate Description
----- -------- ------- -----------
DTS-HD Master Audio English 0 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 16-bit (DTS Core: 5.1 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 16-bit)
DTS-HD Master Audio German 0 kbps 7.1 / 48 kHz / 16-bit (DTS Core: 5.1 / 48 kHz / 1509 kbps / 16-bit)
Dolby Digital Audio Hindi 448 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 448 kbps / DN -4dB
Dolby Digital Audio Tamil 448 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 448 kbps / DN -4dB
Dolby Digital Audio Telugu 448 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 448 kbps / DN -4dB
* Dolby Digital Audio Japanese 640 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 640 kbps / DN -4dB
Dolby Digital Audio English 192 kbps 2.0 / 48 kHz / 192 kbps / DN -4dB / Dolby Surround
And this is what i did, but I think thats wrong:

There are two questions:
Is the second Audio Stream useless and how does a player deal with the 7.1 DTS-HDMaster Audio stream if he is only supporting DTS 5.1 (backward compatible or fail?)
and
what is the best way to convert the DTS-HD Master Audio to AC3 (for old/cheap devices who can't deal with dts) -> dts to ac3 passthrough (make it sense?) or dts to ac3 ffmpeg.
Thank you in advance for your help
