Dts audio cd playing too fast

[mukuntharajaa]

Hello,

I have recently bought dts audio cd from 60024.com . I am able to play that using vlc or foobar. But it plays too fast. Like whole 6 minute song in 1 min. I am not able to hear anything properly. Only noise and hush sound here and there. I tried to rip it to wav format. Still of no use. I even tried to convert this wav to flac using eac3to . Again no use

Can someone please guide me on how to deocode or rip this from PC ? If it were amazon, i could have returned without any hassle. This site i dont even know what they would do.

What isDTS audio CD ? Can you show some photographs ?

Or you got DTS CD which is used in Movie halls ? It requires specialised player

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTS_(sound_system)

In theatrical use, a proprietary 24-bit time code is optically imaged onto the film. An LED reader scans the timecode data from the film and sends it to the DTS processor, using the time code to synchronize the projected image with the DTS soundtrack audio. The multi-channel DTS audio is recorded in compressed form on standard CD-ROM media at a bitrate of 882 kbit/s. The audio compression used in the theatrical DTS system (which is very different and completely unrelated to the home Coherent Acoustics-based DTS Digital Surround format) is the APT-X100 system. Unlike the home version of DTS or any version of Dolby Digital, the APT-X100 system is fixed at a 4:1 compression ratio. Data reduction is accomplished via sub-band coding with linear prediction and adaptive quantization. The theatrical DTS processor acts as a transport mechanism, as it holds and reads the audio discs. When the DTS format was launched, it used one or two discs with later units holding three discs, thus allowing a single dts processor to handle two-disc film soundtracks along with a third disc for theatrical trailers. The DTS time code on the 35mm print identifies the film title which is matched to the individual DTS CD-ROMs, guaranteeing that the film cannot be played with the wrong disc. Each DTS CD-ROM contains a DOS program that the processor uses to play back the soundtrack, allowing system improvements or bug fixes to be added easily. Unlike Dolby Digital and SDDS, or the home version of DTS, the theatrical DTS system only carries 5 discrete channels on the CD-ROMs. The .1 LFE subwoofer track is mixed into the discrete surround channels on the disc and recovered via low-pass filters in the theater.


By the way 60024.com shows nothing - it says domain for sale

BTW I got some Movie Audio DTS 4-5 years back - thst time got this "Gyan!"

This is not a problem with the CD, some players do not seem to play it right.

Rip the tracks from the DTS CD in WAV format and then try playing them with Media Player Classic - HC player - MPC-HC. You can also try XBMC , it can also play DTS WAV files without any problem.

If you want to play it directly from the CD then PowerDVD player should play it fine.

** Nishanth ** I agree with you I too had this problems when I got a lot of Vinyl rips on DVD in a FLAC format .. but finally when I converted these into WAV they played fantastic.

Thanks all for your comments. Let me clarify step by step what I did. Hopefully you experts can help me then


I do not have any blu ray or cd player with me now. I am using PC to rip audio cds and then i listen using headphones only.

This is the dts audio cd which i bought
Buy AR Rahman DTS 5.1 Audio CD Pack (Tamil) Audio CD Online


So this is what I did

1) First tried playing the disc using WMP directly from disk drive in my laptop. It played white noise
2) Then tried playing VLC and foobar. This time also directly from disk drive. This time i was able to hear voices and sounds. But as I said whole 6 minute song finished in less than 45 seconds. In short nothing we can hear.
3) Then I used EAC to rip audio cd to WAV uncompressed. I think it has produced DTS wav files
4) I tried to play these files from hard disk in same way as (1) & (2). Results also dint change. Same as (1) & (2).
5) Then I read in some forum. That these DTS wav files are not like usual WAV files and we have to convert further. So I used EAC3to software to convert these DTS WAV files to normal WAV and FLAC also. Same result only. No use

I want to clarify two things here

1) Whether my level of ripping is proper or am i missing some decoder / codec stuff , coz of which something is screwing up the whole process ?
2) Or CD itself problematic ???

Have any of you guys faced same fast playing problem ever ?

Any help would be much appreciated. Awaiting for your replies

Slight improvement on this problem. I have used arcsoft total media theatre 6 software to play the discs. Now it plays fine. Still ripping results in same way.

1. Once you rip the tracks to WAV format then you do not need to do any more conversion. The WAV files will play fine in select players with DTS WAV decoding support. Some players will play these at a faster playback speed but other players like Media Player Classic - HC , PowerDVD should play it right.

2. There is no problem with any of these CDs you have mentioned.

Try playing you ripped WAV files with Media player classic HC and see if it works.

Nishanth,

Before or after ripping, only total media theatre plays without any hassle. All other MP-HC, VLC, foobar, WMP doesnt play properly. I want to convert and play them normally like any other wav file. Is it possible ?

 

[Nishanth]

After ripping the tracks from the CD try playing them in MPC-HC and see if it works. When you try to play directly from the disc MPC-HC usually does not detect it as a DTS CD.

You can also try Daum PotPlayer if MPC-HC does not work, it can play DTS WAV files and also supports direct playback from DTS CDs.

I want to convert and play them normally like any other wav file. Is it possible ?

You can convert them to regular WAV files. Try FFmpeg + Avanti (GUI for FFmpeg)

Download FFmpeg - FFmpeg and Avanti - AVANTI

See if you can use Avanti with FFmpeg to convert your ripped DTS WAV files to regular WAV files. If your having trouble using Avanti+FFmpeg then let me know, I will post instructions on how to use it.

Loads of thanks to you for suggesting Potplayer. It plays everything i throw at it :yahoo: I havent tried other Avanti stuffs. Will try and then let you know. As this plays everything I am just thinking why should i convert to normal wav file

You saved my weekend. I was breaking my head on this. Thanks again
