Question: How is the audio transcoding working?

[IceBoosteR 10]

Hi all,

 

I was interested how the audio transcoding in general works. I have used the search function of couse, but wasn't able to find anything around that topic. What I am interested in is the following:

You have ripped a UHD BD where you have a DTS:X audio stream. Now my TV is not capable of DTS, so I assume it will be transcoded to AC3 as this is supported. But how will this be done, and how much quality loss will be there? For example do I loose channels down to 5.1 or will 7.1 be supported? How much will the bitrate be affected?

 

Any information would be awesome - as I love this software!

Thanks

It really depends on what app you're playing from, and what the app supports. But yes, there are cases when we do this.
