Can this be done ?
Basically I want to take a DVD with 5.1DD sound & convert it to a DVD with 5.1 DTS sound
Any pointers would be great, I have loads of programs that may help me do it, just havent a clue what Im doing lol
Thanks in advance

May I ask what the point of doing this would be? DD is not as good quality as DTS, but converting to DTS would not make it any better quality, just make it slightly worse?

Well I have SurCode DTS Pro which is meant to be able to make mono into true DTS, so I think if I could make DD into DTS, it would be better dont you ?
maybe i’m wrong, but i don’t think it either. i’m not an expert on sound, but DD is compressed format taken from some uncompressed source (HQ), so if you take compressed audio and convert it to another compressed format you will get nothing better, just losing quality. so i would stay with DD
somebody correct me, if i’m wrong, thanks
Yes, exactly correct.
ok guys, thanks
it’s possible to do it but it requires some work
1st separate all the audio stream from ac3 file into something like wav files
2nd needs sound editing with a software like sound forge to recover some quality from previous compression
3nd reencode with dts
don’t forget it must be 48/16 (usually DD uses the same)
the secret to get the better sound quality/depth comes really from the audio editing ability, applying filters and so on
never did a DD5.1 to DTS conversion, but did some stereo to DTS and I really liked the outcome, but to do this for a whole audio cd it will take some hours/days
Hope this elaborates somewhat on what possessed suggested.
