If Toast..... under which format for a 700MB CD? As Audio? As data? The Cue file is of no value to Toast, it would appear... TiA!

It works perfect! Thanks for the post! Maybe one thing for those that received an Zero K file: I also received this the first time. I then saw that the chapter I selected on mac the ripper didn't have a DTS-stream. You have to make sure you have the right chapter whih contains a stream. I had a 400 MB-file, but it had no stream. You can check that your file is ok, by checking if VLC recognises the stream and plays it (before you convert).

If you read the thread, you'll find out that indeed the VLC method DOES NOT work for MacTheRipper streams. It works for DVDDecrypter (PC) streams, though. In any case, I haven't gotten around to updating the main post to reflect this. Your best bet is to get over your command-line phobia -- it's really not that bad. :) So, Lee, sorry it’s a bit confusing.

The resulting WAV file that comes out of VLC is zero k. I can't figure it out! I'm following the instructions to the letter. And yes, I am command line phobic... I’m having the same problem as Steve.

"AudialHub" and it seems to work as far as converting the DTS file to wav, and I checked it in Audacity and the discreet tracks show... B U T when I try to burn it it crashes Toast even though the file is only one song about 50meg. And this new program is able to play the wav file not "just hiss" but it may be using VLC to play it... (?) AudialHub can burn a CD but when I use that function it give me a non dts disc with only the right channel playing.... Nice huh! I guess the point is you "may" want to check this new found program out... Hey Matt

No Luck! Hey Matt

My test before of the VLC method used a stream I had ripped using DVDDecrypter on the PC. Doesn't seem to work with a stream I just ripped again using Mactheripper. However, like I said, the command-line tools still work. Not sure what the difference is between how DVDDecrypter saves the DTS stream and how MacTheRipper does. Anyone know? A black art is what this is... -M Steve,

If you can figure out how to get it working or find another app. I would appreciate it! Thx I believe it was track 3, Toy Matinee “Things She Said” I’m really not too crazy about the command-line thing….

Wasn't able to load the stream for transcoding in VLC. However, it worked fine using the command-line dtsdec method I mention in the tutorial. Wonder why VLC doesn't recognize it? Strange. BTW, what's the name of that song? Hi, Steve. Wasn’t able to load the stream for transcoding in VLC. However, it worked fine using the command-line dtsdec method I mention in the tutorial.

Wonder why VLC doesn’t recognize it? Strange.

BTW, what’s the name of that song?
