Convert dts wav to dts flac

[MrMalice]

Happy New Year to all!

What method or methods is available to convert a dts wav to dts flac?

I have several albums in dts wav format. Some are individual song
files, and others are wav/cue combinations. I'd like to convert them
to flac format for tagging purposes. I looked at eac3to, but I get the
impression I'd need to install some third-party convertors & codecs,
most of which are not free.

Thanks,

You can use anything...dbpoweramp, jriver, ect.  Once the dts flag is in place you can do conversions to flac without any problems.

I should say you can use any codec that will accept DTS...flac, wv, wav all do.  Not certain about aiff and the like.  For some reason I never had luck with them.  I typically use Jriver as it is fairly easy to do conversions on the fly with all the metadata in place.

Sorry for the multiple posts...one thing you might encounter with some software and/or dlna servers is that they will not decode the dts in flac.  I've found most handle it well.  However with DLNA software some handle it a bit differently than others.  FE, PS3 MServer can output as LPCM or DTS--and their particular implementation has quite a bit of overhead.  Playback, and Isedora do good jobs with wav and flac and won't transcode to LPCM unless you direct them.  Jriver of course does it all on the windows side.  Like I said as long as the flag is present in the original file it is simply a conversion of one format to the other as both are lossless.  So basically anything that will cross convert will suffice.

Since some of the DTS .wav albums I have found are one single file, I
use CueTools to "split" into individual files and .flac as well.
I also split some I have found in single .flac files.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I always thought that Flac is a lossless
format while DTS is a lossy.
How can exist something called DTS flac?
Pumping up DTS to a lossless format very doubtful. The next getting
these file is asuming a real lossless source.
It's like the Vietnamese guys selling selfmade CDs for an apple and an
egg, beeing pumped up from MP3s downloaded from the Web.

Flac losslessly represents whatever is encoded to it... including a lossy source.  You could encode an mp3 to flac, but it would be pointless... and many would argue misleading.  I'm not sure why one would need to flac dts, it can't be much of a space savings.

Tagging, as MrMalice stated.

The latest version of foobar2000 supports wav tagging, so that
argument at least is moot now.

My experience of tagged WAVs is that, because no standard exists, different
players interpret the tags in different ways. All my stereo rips are in FLAC
for this reason, as are most of my multi-channel files including some as DTS
FLAC.

[MrMalice]

Thanks all for the responses.

As pointed out by many, directly converting to flac using foobar
preserves the dts encoding. I had some issues due to a corrupt file -
should've explored further before posting. I'm just starting to
realize how powerful JRMC is on the conversion side, and will
experiment with that as well.

I recognize that dts is lossy. Still, a good hunk of my older files
are in dts format, so I take what I can get. Not trying to fool
anyone.

The size savings adds up for me, so it's worth using flac vs wav.

dts.wav is lossy DTS audio wrapped in a WAV header/container. Since flac
can take WAV as input, you can 'compress' a dts.wav file. It won't reduce
the file size to any significant degree, but it WILL allow you to 'tag'
the file as you could any other flac file. That makes it VERY useful to
people who store and stream their DTS files from a hard drive, like I do.

i recommend idealshare videogo which can convert dts to other audio or convert video/audio to dts. step by step guide at How to Convert DTS to WAV, AC3, MP3 or Convert to DTS

This guide applies:

• Convert DTS audio to other audio formats like converting DTS to AC3, WAV, AAC, MP3, MP2, FLAC, AIFF, WMA, OGG, APE, M4A, AU and etc.
• Convert video with DTS audio to video with AC3, AAC, MP2, PCM, or WMA audio like convert MKV DTS to MKV AC3/MP3/MP2/PCM, convert AVI DTS to AVI MP3, and etc.
• Convert to DTS digital surround audio from WAV, AC3, FLAC, APE, PCM, AIFF, OGG, WMA, M4A, and Apple Lossless.
• Convert video with non DTS audio codec to video with DTS codec files.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) and Dolby Digital (AC-3) are the two most famous audio codec used in professional cinema and home theater system to record and play back multi-channel high-definition audio. We often see them at the end of a film when we watch it in cinema or play a DVD at home. Moreover, we often see DTS or AC3 audio in MKV files, because these files are ripped from DVDs and the audio are kept unchanged.

Just find an easy way to convert DTS to AC3, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, M4A, etc.  Hope it's useful to you.

sorry I accidentally let this shit through as Google groups now makes it harder to vet items - typical Google everything gets more difficult - look at maps as an example

I use a software called Avdshare Audio Converter to convert between various audio formats like FLAC, DTS, WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF, AAC, AC3, WMA, AU, RA, Opus, etc.

You may get it from https://www.avdshare.com/audio-converter-mac-windows

If it's a .wav file, any free tool with a FLAC converter should do.  Audiomuxer, Flac frontend, foobar2k...

Just don't expect the filesize to shrink.  As you are aware, the advantage of dts.wav--> .flac is in being able to tag the files. (Which will slightly increase the file size)

You can use foobar2k to split the album wav file  into separate tracks at the same time, based on the cue file. if you like.  Just load the .cue file into the foobar2k play window  (making sure that the audio file is in the same folder as the cue file).  The tracks will show up.  Then use f2K's Convert option to turn them into flac.
