Question

Importing videos with DTS-HD Audio

Hi

I am a noob - just started using/learning Premiere Pro a few days ago and I am running into an issue with importing videos with DTS-HD Audio track.

The video imports and plays fine but there is no audio.  Searched through the forums and found a lot of questions from 2009/2011 about DTS but no direct answers or specific about DTS-HD support so I thought I would dare to ask this question :-).

Is DTS-HD not supported in Premiere pro?  If I re encode my video and convert DTS-HD track to AAC, audio works.

I have already tried renaming Common folder etc found in various forums and that does not help with DTS-HD audio track.

Same video I tried on Cyberlink PowerDirector (just to see if my video was the issue) and dont have any issues PD.

I use Premiere Pro CC 2017, Windows 10.

Thanks.

Michael,

 

Nothing is illegal about DTS-HD per se.

 

That said, the main place that such media comes from is commercially produced BluRay discs ... which naturally are nearly all copyrighted. Ergo Jim's assumption a few years back that the probability the OP was doing something in violation of copyright laws made it a natural assumption.

 

Of course, it is possible to get such media to work that is entirely 'legal' to modify. Not common, of course for most editors and workflows.

I realize this is an old thread but I had the same problem and wanted to provide the solution that I found to work for me, in case someone else happens upon this thread. 

 

I used ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org/) with the following command line:

ffmpeg -i "Original Video.mkv" -c:v copy -c:a aac "My New Video.mp4"

This does a straight copy of the video (so it's not converting it or losing quality) and converts the audio to aac format. You can find other audio formats to convert to as well, I just picked this one because it's so popular and worked with Premiere.
