FFmpeg command to recode DTS HD MA?

[Lee 204]

Sorry to headline this but i'm sure this was in here somewhere.

My media PC CPU just died so i'm stuck watching on the LGTV app which is fine apart from the DTS issue.

I've been recoding with handbrake and splicing back the Eac3 audio with mkvmerge, bit long winded tho, can one of you wizards throw me the command to just re-code the audio stream in FFmpeg?

much appreciated!!

You can add an AC3 track for single file like this

Or do a batch of files at once

If you get stuck just shout out for help.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I use this to convert DTS to AC3 (it's a .bat file that dumps the file into the converted folder"  

Works well in my testing.  Just drag the file on top of the .bat.  (have to have ffmpeg.exe, ffplay.exe and ffprobe.exe) in the same folder as the .bat and probably have to created a Converted folder inside there as well.

 

for %%f in (*.mp4 *.avi *.mkv) do (
    ffmpeg.exe -y -i "%%f" -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -f mp4 "Converted\%%~nf.mp4"
)
