Converting DTS audio to AAC Posted on 13 July 2009 | Tagged , , , | Comments (284)

I recently invested in this wonderful little device called the WD TV. This fantastic piece of awesome sits in between an external hard drive and a tv, and will pretty much play any video file you chuck at it - with one exception. It doesn't support DTS decoding - it supports DTS pass through, but neither the TV nor the stereo at my flat support DTS decoding either. So I wrote a little python script that re-encodes DTS audio to AAC in MKV files. I've only tested this on Ubuntu, and you need python 3, mkvtools and ffmpeg for it to do its magic. Said script, named "shinyify" is found below. Takes a single argument, being the name of the MKV file.
