The DTS stream comes from Transporter 3 on Blu-ray. I have extracted the core DTS stream using tsmuxer. I then decoded this stream and reordered the channels:


AFAIK, this problem is occuring at the first line, as the second two reorder the channels and rename the raw PCM file.

I have also posted a screenshot of the clipping.

What can be done to avoid this? Is there a way to decode the DTS stream without increasing the volume?

I don't have an answer for you, but I think it is best for you to ask on the ffmpeg-user list. You can subscribe here:

Huh, I think I figured it out. The clipping is occurring on the rear channels. Now AFAIK, Transporter 3's DTS-HD MA stream is 7.1, but since FFMPEG doesn't understand this, it gets downmixed to 5.1 and the back channels get combined from four into two.

If you're working with HD audio tracks, I'd suggest transcoding with eac3to in all cases. It uses a modified version of libavcodec (and can hook into Nero / Sonic / Arcsoft DLLs) to always provide clipping-free output.

It's amazingly good. Seriously, check it out It's been tested on so many different HD-DVD and BluRay sources that it's ferreted out almost every imaginable bug or wierdness

Hi, above you wrote that you extracted the DTS-core stream via TSMuxer, which is then a 5.1-version. Hence the rationale
for the clipping being the result of downmixing in the surround channels seems to be wrong...
Cheers

How is it modified? We really prefer these things be submitted upstream...
