DTS to AC3 conversion for LG TV using mediatomb DLNA server
- by prion crawler
I want to convert a MKV video file containing DTS audio to a stream with AC3 audio. I want to pass this resulting stream to mediatomb's transcoding feature. Mediatomb will transfer the stream via DLNA to a LG TV, which does not support DTS audio.
I have tried the VLC command below but the TV does not recognize the stream, and playing the destination stream on PC does not produce sound.
vlc -vvv -I dummy INPUT.file --sout \
'#transcode{acodec=ac3,ab=256k,channels=2,threads=4} \
:std{mux=ts,access=file,dst=DEST.file}'
The following ffmpeg command give a stream that plays on the TV with sound, but the ffmpeg process gets killed (with signal 15) within 10-15 seconds, and then the TV restarts the playback from the beginning. This goes on in loops.
ffmpeg -i INPUT.file -acodec ac3 -ab 384k -vcodec copy \
-vbsf h264_mp4toannexb -f mpegts -y DEST.file
I want to have a working DLNA server which transcodes DTS to AC3, any help is appreciated.
