For my previous post, a simple yes or no answer would have suffice. I am extremely sorry to challenge you on this on your own thread as it seems like you put together a nice GUI... However, there is no way that Dolby at 640 Kbit/s sounds better than DTS at 1536 Kbit/s. Unless you are using equipment that can't reproduce the differences. I can easily hear the difference every, single time. Different codecs are obviously designed differently and some have sweet spots at different bitrates. If you were to say that Dolby at 640 Kbit/s performs better than DTS at 768 Kbit/s, this might indeed be possible. I just find the level of detail and clarity in DTS 1536, almost as good as it's lossless counterpart. Last edited by Ryu77; 23rd October 2009 at 09:33. |

The test is: listen the original uncompressed, the DTS encoded and the AC3 encoded. Maybe for you the DTS sounds better than original uncompressed, but is not the question.

I proved to myself several times on different equipment, even now when I had access to the DTS-HD MA Encoding Suite, which mean i encode my samples with up to date DTS encoding tool. |

I guess he's refering to bass response with AC3 vs DTS, i.e. due to higher attenuation of low-level frequencies before encoding AC3 does not sound as "bass-rich" as DTS. This is especially true with on-the-fly AC3 (Dolby Digital Live) and DTS solutions on mainboards and soundcards. However, concerning overall faithfulness to the master I'd say AC3 is able to achieve much better replication than DTS, even when comparing 640kbps AC3 to 1536kbps DTS.

However, I have noticed bass heavy DTS tracks present on quite a few DVD's but for some reason this seems to be different on Blu-ray discs. Whether it is because most DVD's used 768 Kbit/s instead of 1536 Kbit/s or they used an older encoder, I am not sure. Quote:
Just out of curiousity, what sort of equipment are you comparing these on? Looks like I am not alone on these thoughts... http://www.audioholics.com/education...of-the-formats http://www.practical-home-theater-gu...by-vs-dts.html http://ezinearticles.com/?Dolby-vs-D...ter?&id=553768 As I mentioned above, all these reference the fact that you need the right equipment to hear the difference. |

@Ryu77
Your links don't say "DTS is better than AC3" only: "you need a thoroughly refined audio playback setup to bring out that subtle difference in sound quality between these two formats." And I agree with this. My audio equipment, or my human ears I don't know, can't distinguish between them. For that I need trust in blind test with professional audio equipment. My first link say: DTS 1500 is best than AC3 448 but very close My second link (not sctrict blind test but also with professional audio equipment) conclude: "The lossless, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD High Resolution compressed tracks were just a little more open and airy. I hate to say it, but they just sounded more realistic and transparent. The 448 kbps Dolby Digital and standard DTS tracks were less so, a little more closed off. Between the 640 kbps Dolby Digital and the uncompressed, the difference was even less noticeable." If most of the people can't distinguish between them (by audio equipment or human ears) and some experts prefer AC3 640 Kb/s over DTS 1500, for what we need spend bytes and select a format less compatible? If you prefer DTS, use it, but I can't accept DTS is better than AC3 without probe it.

edit: please, read the next post. tebasuna, first thank you for the new UsEac3to. you know, i'm horrible in command lines. can i ask how to 5.1 96/24 multichannel waves to flac without change sample rate, etc...only compression? thanks. Last edited by raquete; 26th October 2009 at 01:09. |

now i know why "was so hard" to encode 5.1 96/24 multichannel waves to flac. lol
in my system(win2000) the down arrows on the right to select formats, parameters, etc are not working, i need to click until the output format(for example) be blue and use the arrows of the keybord to select the desired adjust.(flac, wave, waves,pcm,etc) i can't say that is a GUI's problem, must be my old system.

I think Autoit ( http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ ) support Win2000, but I can test it.
Try download the Autoit software and run the .au3 file instead the .exe.

i download, run Autoit and open the UsEac3To.au3. just the same, i can't chose options in "Track Input and Output format" and others (is "combo"? editing the file i saw "GUICtrlCreateCombo") but works with the "trick" like i wrote before. thanks for the link and hints. |

The button '+ Sources' is only to concatenate sources like .VOB or .m2ts.
Isn't a batch process. To convert to flac all the wav in a folder use this con2flac.bat file (put your correct path to eac3to) in the same folder and double click: Code:
@echo off for %%a in (*.wav) do "z:\path\eac3to.exe" "%%a" "%%a.flac" pause
