Hi,

Situation:
Using one click encoder (but I think it's the same problem everywhere in megui), and converting DTS-HDMA to FLAC or AAC (wanting max quality, so using qaac tvbr 127 -> so the HDMA should be used) when converting an MKV.

Problematic result:
Megui extracts both, the DTS-HDMA and the DTS core. But then, it coverts the DTS core to FLAC or AAC (and not the DTS-HDMA).

Expected result:
It should convert the DTS-HDMA (and not the lower quality core) to FLAC or AAC (in every case but especialy more so since we are looking for max quality when using FLAC or qaac tvbr 127).

  • I only tested FLAC and qaac, but this bug seems to exist with every audio format when converting from DTS-HDMA.

Thanks.

    Furthermore, please make sure the same problem doesn't exist for TrueHD (wrongly converting from the lower quality AC3 instead of the lossless TrueHD).

    Thanks.

    Using MeGUI 2715, with TrueHD from MKV MeGUI actually MAKES a lossy AC-3 and then encodes from that. (!!)

    And yes, it's also extracting the DTS core from DTS-MA.

    I will have a look, but this is can only be a problem in OneClick as all other conversions are manually choosen by the user. E.g. in the HD Streams Extractor you decide what you want to extract.

    In the past the decision had been made that way in OneClick as the source filters had problems to convert such files. This may have changed nowadays.

    I had now a quick look. The change will take some time as a lot has to be changed & tested.

    The first part of the change (2748) is now online. But the OneClick change is not even started yet,

    Is there any option to change for this to be working?

    One-Click encoder still extracts the core from my DTSHD/MA tracks in order to convert these to AC3.

    Or was this change deliberately for FLAC/AAC?

    I can convert DTSHD/MA without problems to AC3 manually though.
