After researching how to rip DTS DVDs, many of the methods being too complex to consider practical, I stumbled upon a very easy method that raises questions.
One method used EAC to convert to WAV, and then to use DTSparser to convert to DTS. This method didn’t work for me...resulting in DTS files that played garbled, but recognizable audio. MC22 reported these as 1411kbps with only 2 channels. Then I tried simply renaming the WAV files to '*.dts', and MC reported these to have 6 channels... and played beautifully.
What is mysterious is that this method doesn’t work if I first rip the same files to WAV using MC(?). I cannot find what makes EAC special in this regard...
Comments?
Edit: I should also add... MC did recognize the DVD in the drive, but when asked to play it the result was only noise...
