Alternativ methods down below.

1. Separation into 6 mono WAVs doesn't work properly.

• Use recommended method first please!
   
• Try different methods.
   
• If using BeSweet to separate into mono Wave files remember to look out for correct channel order (WinDVD filter!):
  
  BeSweet -core( -input "mehrkanal-wav.wav" -output "mehrkanal-wav-neu-" -6ch -logfile "BeSweet.log" )

Commandline to get  6 mono wave files.
  
• Use BeSplit (latest version->see hint/note on front page).
  With BeSplit you can also separate a multichannel wav into separate mono WAVs.
  Works with all DTSWAV tracks.
  
  Switches for BeSplit: besplit  -core( .. ) -split( .. ) -ota( .. )

  core Schalter:
  -input		[Filename.ac3/mp3/mp2/mpa/wav/aac/pcm/dts]
  -output		[Filename.ac3/mp3/mp2/mpa/wav/aac/pcm/dts]
  -prefix		[prefix/path of output files]
  -logfile		[Filaname.txt] (write to logfile)
  -logfilea [		Filaname.txt] (append to logfile)
  -ending		(continue until reaching end of file)
  -type		[aac/ac3/mp3/mp2/mpa/wav/dts/dtswav/ddwav]
  -fix		(don't split, just fix the stream)
  -r		(use Relative time list)
  -a		(use Absolute time list)
  -demux		(demux mutlichannel wave into mono waves)
  -join		(join all files listed in a list-file into one)
  -addriff		(add riff header to output files)
  -fixcrc		(recalculate all crc tags)
  ota Schalter:
  -ota ( -fs 41000 )		Fill in frequency of your source if BeSplit doesn't recognise it correctly

  If you encounter problems try to repair/fix the DTS file and indicate type correctly!. You can use BeSplit/BeSliced or DTSParser for that task:
  
  Commandline for DTS-WAV:
  
  BeSplit -core( -input "DTS-WAV-Quelle.wav" -output "Zieldatei-fixed.dts" -type dtswav -fix )

  Commandline for DTS:
  
  BeSplit -core( -input "DTS-Quelle.dts" -output "Zieldatei-fixed.dts" -type dts -fix )

to separate into 6 mono Wave files:

BeSplit -core( -input "WAV-Quelle.wav" -output "Zieldatei-" -type wav -demux )

  For a 5.1 multichannel file you'll get 6 separate mono Wave files in the folder which you can use with any encoder.
  

  Additional switches for "Open Bitrate" DTS files:

  -ota ( -fs 41000 )

  fill in frequency of source if BeSplit doesn't recognise it

  Example.: filled in frequency of surce:

BeSplit -core( -input .. -output .. -type dts -demux ) -ota( -fs 41000 )

  
  

• Videolan VLC Player may be used to decode DTS to a multichannel WAV.
  This WAV can be separated into 6 mono WAVs using WAV2WAV6.
  
  -load DTS or. DTS-WAV file in VLC as "Network stream"
  
  
  
  -activate stream output and click "settings"
  
  
  
  -click "file" and choose filename for mutlichannel wav
  -activate "Audiocodec" and select "s16l" as audio codec and 6 channels (bitrate doesn't matter).
  -clicke "OK" twice to confirm selection.
  
  
  
  -A multichannel WAV file gets created
  -The multichannel WAV may be separated to 6 mono WAVs using WAV2WAV6 (search Web).

2. The decoded/converted track doen't play back correctly. It contains clicks or pops.

Use Foobar2000 to decode DTS and BeSweet to separate into 6 mono WAVs. This is the safest method..
