Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Stream #0:0: Audio: truehd, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 1536 kb/s When I checked the file out in mediainfo, it says it's 6 channel. So TrueHD 5.1 played only silence on the Sonos ARC. It recognised the signal but no sound. Perhaps the bitrate was set too high? I know with E-AC3 Sonos ARC has a limit of 960...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

also, if the audio you want to convert is greater than 5.1 channels then add -ac 6 before -map Thanks mate. I have started it and its processing now. I'm not sure it will give me the desired result though as one thing that popped up on the screen as its processing it is: [truehd @ 0x7ff01684c400] O...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

Oh, well. Just so you know, if you decide to use ffmpeg and mkvtoolnix, you can use ffmpeg to convert the audio to trueHD and mux with your video using mkvtoolnix. Actually, I should use TrueHD instead of E-AC3. TrueHD 5.1. This is the command I used for e-ac3. What should change so it does TrueHD ...

@martymcnuts No. I am using this method:

I'm literally giving that a go now :). I'm also going to see if I can upscale it to E-AC3.

@martymcnuts No. I am using this method: Also, I was able to hack a conversion profile for MakeMKV 1.15.3 that seems to have converted a multichannel DTS track into a multichannel AAC track (using FFmpeg) while creating the MKV file.

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

In ffmpeg you will need to downmix to 5.1 as AC3 cannot handle more channels than 5.1. Just add -ac 6 to ffmpeg command and it will automagically downmix to 5.1 channels. You also mentioned you would prefer plain DTS if possible. You can use ffmpeg to extract the DTS core from a DTS-HD track by add...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

@Larrikin Cool. I'm glad it's working. I'm curious about the AC-3. Can you post your conversion profile for it? Well, maybe I spoke too soon. I've come across a DTS X 7.1 sound track, and tried running it with the AC3 profile. I got this error message and it wouldn't run: FFMPEG_ERROR: FFENC002: [a...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

OK, so an update. AAC still only produced Stereo on my Sonos ARC. However, working with everything you did for me, I changed the codec to AC3, and boom - it works! Thanks so much mate!!! Dolby Vision and AC3 :)

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

@Larrikin I assume you found other files in ~/Library/MakeMKV ? It is the default data directory on Mac, but the file goes in wherever the MakeMKV data directory is in MakeMKV's preferences. OK, so I stuffed up. My default data directory in MakeMKV's preferences was wrong and had changed from the d...

Re: Dolby Vision and 1.15.1

For a one-liner (that may work) to encode the audio and mux with the mkv created in MakeMKV: ffmpeg.exe -i "the/mkv/file/created/using/MakeMKV.mkv" -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -b:a 640k -sn -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 "mkv/output/file/should/hopefully/still/contain/DV.mkv" I've tried that...
