    You are missing something...its called a current version of Nero, and may be the source of your problem. Not familiar with the DTS audio, I always get rid on everything except for the AC3 5.1.

    How are you trying to switch from one track to another while viewing?(remote, menu, etc.) Are you sure you are including the DTS track? Are you sure your dvd player is set to output a DTS signal and/or is your receiver ready to decode the signal? Just out of curiosity, why are you using DVD Decrypter first? You shouldn't need to update nero, this version is good enough for what you want to accomplish.

    Sorry for the multipost, did'nt mean to.

    I am using shrink so i can just use the chapters I want from each dvd, I ripped the chapters from multiple dvd's.
    Saving only the dts audio and video.
    Then using nero to encode the chapters to make one dvd from all the chapters. But there is no dts sound from the chapters that I shrunk with the dts audio box checked in dvd shrink.
    Sorry it's kinda hard to explain. hope you guys understand.

    Thanks

    Again, is your dvd player set to output a DTS signal? Is your receiver set(or capable) to decode a DTS signal? Can you hear the DTS soundtrack on the original dvds when you play them on your system?
    I hope you're not insulted by these questions, but I have found that not too many people know how DTS works and I don't want to waste anyone's time if you lack the proper equipment in the first place.

    Yes I can hear the dts signal on the orginal dvd's.
    My stereo is set correctly. (been into audio systems for about 15 yr's)

    It just seems like nero did'nt process the dts audio(signal)when it was encoding.

    Thanks

    If you're sure you are selecting DTS audio on Shrink as one of or the only soundtrack, you may want to right click on what you selected to back up,(in Re-author mode) select [bold]set default streams...[/bold] and set the DTS track as the default track.

    Have you also tried to see if you could select the DTS track with the audio button on your dvd remote while you are watching it?

    Ok Thanks
    I'll try the default stream, and see if that works.

    Since you're ripping chapters like that, you're [bold]probably[/bold] not getting the menus, or at least the one where you select the DTS track of a movie. You know that DTS is [bold]not[/bold] automatically chosen by a player. You must choose the DTS track manually, when watching a movie. With receiver set to "Digital Auto", it will automatically go to the DD 5.1 track, but not the DTS track. So, you need some way of choosing DTS track at the beginning of the dvd.

    I've known a couple of people that made excellent Demo discs, of scenes from different movies, in DD 5.1, but they've not been able to make a Demo disc with DTS tracks, for the reason I've told you.
    Good luck! Keep us posted? Especially if you find a way to do it............... :eek:)

    The dvd players(5 in all, 2 of which are an xbox and ps2) that I have connected to surround sound receivers are set up to play dts sound. I have made quite a few backups with just the dts track and have never encountered a problem with any of them.(most of the discs I've made don't even have a menu) The dvd player(if it is worth a crap) should play this track if it is setup properly(especially if it is the only sound track on the dvd). If there is more than one track on the back up, you should easily be able to toggle through them with the dvd remote while it is playing or even through the dvd player's on-screen menu while the disc is in the player. What is the name brand(and model #) of the player you are using?

    I was telling personal experiences of mine and friend's experiences.
    I guess my Pioneer and my friend's Denons are pieces of crap though. Glad to finally find that out.................

    Easy, buddy. I wasn't refering to you or your player specifically, I was making a generalization. I am sorry you couldn't get your discs to work either. Have you tried setting the DTS track as the default?

    Well I tried to make the compilation dvd again with dts as the default stream with dvd shrink. No luck (another coaster,crap!)

    I don't think Nero is applying the dts as sound track when it's transcoding the chapters. (the dolby chapters work fine)

    I'm at a loss.

    Do you not hear sound from every excerpt of your compilation? Does your backup show up as having a dts track when you open it with shrink? Are the discs you are ripping from dvd video or dvd audio discs? Can you tell me the steps you take when you are backing this project up?
