Mkv 1080p dts sound problem

[ablyes]

Hello,

I have a choppy sound on my clarke-tech ET9000 (VIX 2.1 not updated) when i pass an MKV 1080p dts through my home cinema (Denon 1911).
Is this problem known ?

Thank you.

I don't pass DTS through - although I have noticed choppy sound when playing DTS DVD's through the ET9000.

The ET9000 doesn't seem to like DTS at all and I have to resample sound to AC3 on mkv's I play on the ET9000 as well. This however is very easy with Popcorn MKV audio converter (can give more details should anyone be interested).

Sorry I know this didn't really answer your question - but looking at the Clarke-tech forum it seems driver support for DTS isn't quite ready yet - but it is a development priority.

Thank you for your quick answer.
Yes, i would like some details for popcorn MKV audio converter, it will help me. I'm under mac os x, i hope ther's an equivalent on it, if not i must use bootcamp.
Does VIX 2.2.100 version provide a better support of DTS ?

(can not update, because of a cifs mount that never works on 2.2.100 : nas on freebox revolution (french box) which contains 3D movies)

I have a tool that I use under macosx to convert to ac3. It converts it to 640kbps ac3, which is prolly a little higher than required, but it's the only app I found. I keep the app stored on my desktop, then you drag the mkv to the app, which then extracts the dts and then converts to ac3. I then use mkvtoolnix to remux the ac3 with the mkv. Will try to upload the files tonight if I remember (update this thread about 8pm to remind me in case I forget )

Another image integrates newer drivers for DTS ?

That would require newer drivers with dts support to be available

 

[ablyes]

Here's the files for you...

I found that the latest versions of Audio Convertor + MKvtools didnt work (In windows). I had to get older versions. Does the mac versions defo work?

Have no idea of what those tools are. These are just some mac tools that I've found and used that work perfect...

To the OP, you sure it aint the movie thats the issue? I've played back many 1080mkv's with DTS. I use DTS passthru throu optical to Yamaha amp.

 

[ablyes]

does your Yamaha amp integrates hdmi connection to make a short test with it ?
if not, i'll try with optical cable on my denon.

 

[Sicilian]

My Yamaha amp is quite old, no hdmi on it. Its just use optical.

 

[ablyes]

We should use the same mvk to do the test.
I wonder if i can cut my mkv to make it light and able to be uploaded on megaupload.

 

[Sicilian]

If you can cut a bad section I'll give it a go.

 

[ablyes]

DTS sound of some MKVs is good.
I think the optical or hdmi cable are not the cause of the sound quality.
