Hello,

I want to rip a BluRay Movie using HandBrake with a DTS-HD audio-track into a simple DTS track. I am able to choose "DTS passthrough" on a "DTS-HD MA" Track, does this work and just peel off the lossless HD Master part?

Thanks!
 
recoding the dts-HD to dts is a little dirty.

Use makemkv to rip the Blu-ray. When ripping just select the base dts sound track and leave the dts-HD on the disc. Then pass it though handbrake and use the dts pass through for the audio track.
 
Don't re-encode the audio.
Your disc contains audio tracks other than DTS-HD, if it didn't then people without newer receivers wouldn't be able to play them.

Use one of the other tracks.
 
There is only one DTS HD MA track in the right language, which is perfectly fine for me, since DTS HD MA is supposed to be fully backwards-compatible, consisting of one normal lossy DTS-track with an additional Lost-Information-Delta-Track to actually get a lossless track after full DTS HD MA multiplexing/processing...

But I don't need HD MA, DTS is perfectly sufficient for me and I don't want to spend that much storage space for audio...
I just tried to configure DTS-passthrough for the DTS HD MA track (Handbrake) and it silently killed the whole audio track: the resulting MKV does not contain any audio tracks :(

So... any advice to strip an DTS-HD MA to normal DTS?

Thanks

Like mentioned, DTS-HD contains a "core" DTS track -- use MakeMkv to rip this core DTS track, thereby not needing to even touch the DTS-HD at all.

Correct you want auto pass through of the DTS-HD which contains the core DTS track as stated above.
