HeartWare's MKV AudioConverter is a Windows 1-click utility that easily converts audio, for instance DTS audio tracks to AC3 (Dolby Digital) in MKV container files. This is useful for Popcorn Hour A-100 or other NMT users who's device does not support DTS downmixing and who do not have the possibility to use a normal reciever/amplifier with DTS support. AudioConverter leaves the rest of the encodings untouched, not quality degrading on video!


Contents

Some features

  • DTS to AC3
  • Option to keep DTS track intact, in case an A/V receiver is available.
  • OGG to AAC or MP3
  • AAC to AC3
  • Re-sample low-sample-rate audio tracks
  • Auto update of the application
  • Auto download dependencies to application


Notes

  • User reports on the NMT forum claims a 10 GB x264 MKV takes about 7 minutes to convert, but it depends upon your PC performance.
  • Choose a bit rate as high as possible - but there's no reason to go much higher than the original bitrate! A good general setting; use 160 or 192 kbit AAC audio and 448 kbit AC3 audio for 5.1 DTS-conversion.


Requirements

  • mkvtoolnix, besweet, ac3fix, and winvorbis (for ogg decoder).
