I seem to have 2 DTS cd's and they only play correctly in VLC media player, on anything else including my standalone dvd player it just plays as a contstant cracking sound, is there any way to convert them to some other 5.1 codec without losing the quality?

I can't seem to rip it in WMP either ( googling bring up people saying rip it with WMP and perhaps use loseless format .WMA to rip ) as wmp doesn't play it correctly either :mad:.
 
In a HT system you need a DTS decoder, all new av amps have DTS decoding. For a Hi-Fi I would look into a Millienium 2.4.6. Not too sure about PC side,though Power DVD would work without a problem? If outputting on the analogue outputs the software dts decoder does it for you.
 
No you don't understand, I want to know how to rip it and convert it to another format without quality loss so I can play it on my current dvd player&amp and stuff, I can already play it on my pc using VLC...


Offtopic: Is it normall for VLC to use this much RAM and CPU when playing a DTS CD:



Never seen such a high cpu usage with playing a CD.

Probably because the DTS decoder is in software, which is of course means CPU is doing it.

I've never ripped DTS CD's, although I have used DVD Audio Extractor for DTS DVD's. It has to down sample DTS 5.1 to FLAC 2.0. Are your DTS 2.0 or 5.1?
 
DTS 5.1 I believe.
How much of the quality would go lost by converting from 5.1 to 2.0 ?

Or is this all not worth it, mind I've got 5.1 on my pc, but it's a nasty cheap set of 22W total RMS, while the amp & speakers downstairs are 2x130 watt so 260 watts total RMS.
