HDTV4ever Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 The forum does not allow for searces below 4 letters so I didn't find anything on DTS Since the manual didn't mention this I was wondering how I can get some DTS sound off a satellite radio channel or video channel. SR (Swedish Radio) are doing lots of testing including a channel that has been on for some time now sending out a DTS test stream. I only get the MPEG2 2-channel info saying that a test is going on... The test channel should still be at the Astra1A Sirius2/3 position if they didn't kill it over the new year shift. Some test CDs you can download a burn to CD-R, to listen on via a good PC-DVD player or standalone DVD player supporting DTS audio CDs, can be found at: http://www.sr.se/multikanal/english/e_index.stm The first 2 paragraphs include classical music, non-language specific, while the fairytale of the Princess Sub and the 5 speakers might be tough for the non-swedish speaking...

Derrick Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 It's always possible to record the transport stream using Griga's video recorder plugin. I had a couple of tries (with dvb2000) but I never had a chance to find a decoder. I don't have any hardware for AC-3 or DTS and I'm still looking for a softdecoder for a stereo downmix. It's also hard to find good documentation about DTS coding/decoding.. Quote Link to comment
crypto Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 I think you are referring to the DTS transmissions on Sirius. The DTS stream can be played back in PowerDVD 5 even in 5.1. No downmix is necessary. Maybe it is even possible to listen to the channel live, but I had no luck with my early tests. Quote Link to comment
Derrick Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 thx Crypto but I need the downmix cos I don't have the necessary hardware... afair I tried pwerdvd5 but maybe not the right version. Akaik there are also different transmission schemes.. Quote Link to comment
Guest Michael Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 the intervideo decoder in WinDVD 5 Platinum is able to downmix the stuff.... use graphedit: DTSWAVSource Filter as Input Intervideo Audio Decoder as Decoder DirectSoundDevice as Output works for DTS wav files here ... but no idea how to hear it in Winamp or some other player... maybe DVBViewer can play it with some custom graph.. haven't tested it yet dts.GRF Quote Link to comment
