Getting DTS to work without converting. Options

[hellblazer.doom]

I would just like to say hear guys i have very little experience in this and need all the help i can get so be as specific as you can please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have lots of MKV's with DTS audio and i have a WD HD media player 2nd gen as far as i'm aware and i want to be able to play the mkv's with dts(or anything else for that matter) without having to convert the bloody thing first.

As far as i've read i need a toslink and a dts decoder with some speaker or in other words a surround sound with dts decoding. I just need to know if this surround sound would work with the media player and if it does exactly what to do please (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well, it came and it works. only tested one DTS mkv tho, but that worked flawlessly, and fook me it sounds good. Really happy with it, jus hope it plays the rest of the MKV's that have DTS like it did with this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What does your receiver show as audio input format when it's playing DTS?

erm 'DTS:undefinded' i think

btw i have a problem with my avi files, they are slightly out of sync, is that a known problem?

For the DTS:undefined I use the MMG (MKVToolNix).

Open the MKV, choose the Audio by clicking one time over it and then choose the language English for example.

Remux the file and that is it. Next time, WDTV will show: Language: English (or the one you choose).

I also usually force the MKV to be 16:9 always (even though sometimes it will deformed).

I use to also put the SRT inside the MKV which prevents a lot of problems, specially with 1080p.

And even though I keep the files, I love do this to all my movies. It is relaxing for me...

My WDTV Gen1 plays flawlessly all AVI I throw at it.

Cheers.
