![]() ![]() licensing and there is software, but it's mostly pro-level stuff. On second reading, it looks like you're talking about producing MP4 files with DTS encoding. unless you hook it up to a DTS capable receiver, that's what's going on.Įdit: I'm not sure I'm answering your question. If you have a device that plays the video, but doesn't have any audio. Since DTS is nothing more than a track within the container, it's possible to pass-through the track with no decoding. Unfortunately, it gets a little more complicated than that. That leaves paying for a DTS license, which those with small pockets don't want to do, or leaving out DTS decoding altogether. Apple certainly wouldn't since the risk of lawsuit from DTS Inc (and now Tessera) is too great.įor anyone considering the legal risks, libdca may not be a suitable option. One thing that you'll notice is that there aren't a bunch of commercial apps, especially from deep pocket companies that use libdca. Projects using libdca and more infor about it can be found here: VLC, by VideoLAN uses libdca and will decode DTS (MP4 or MKV). VideoLAN reversed engineered DTS decoding and now offer that library for free (libdca). Originally, nothing could decode DTS from any container unless it used the licensed decoding library from DTS. My personal favorite for (direct) playing on the Mac is VLC and it will play DTS MP4 or MKV just fine.ĭTS is a proprietary codec from DTS Inc, now owned by Tessera. With MP4 or MKV, they have to be played back from an app that has the audio codec (in this case DTS) being used (often a licensing issue). It's literally adding the encoded track with the container not caring about how it's encoded as long as it adheres to the container specs.īut every program on my MacBook told me that I can't have a DTS iFlicks 2 automatically create the stereo version of each Dolby audio track, it adds all the necessary metadata, cover, and remux the movie as a M4V video. Adding support for a new codec doesn't even require altering MP4 (or MKV). The whole point of MP4 was to develop an open container that pretty much anything could be put into. See this listing for the full list of officially supported formats: ĭTS, AC3 and a bazillion others are supported. That said, the page you linked to, contradicts this one: Wikipedia isn't the official spec page for MPEG.
