Title: Determining MLP vs DTS in a DVD-Audio file listing by speaker arrangement?
Post by: BearcatSandor on 2017-03-09 02:16:52

I'm able to get a listing of the files on a DVD-audio disc (that i own) and play them back on my computer. The files are listed like so:

How can i tell which files are DTS and which are MLP? Given that they are all 24/96 i can't tell by file size or bitrate. The speaker arrangements are different however. Can one tell MLP apart from DTS by speaker arrangement on this disc and other DVD-As?

Thanks.

Of course you can tell by bit rate. MPL (=lossless) tracks have a much higher bit rate than DTS tracks. Only in your screenshot, the bit rate is not shown.

The (DVD-Audio compatible) MLP should be AOB files in the AUDIO_TS folder. The (DVD-Video compatible) DTS files should be VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder.
