Conversion de DTS en AC3

Hello everyone,

Here’s a simple question for what seems to be a complicated problem:
I have a few DVDs that won’t play on my home player/TV because the audio is in DTS format. Since the AC3 format works fine on my player, I would like to know how to convert DTS format to AC3?
I have tried using ripping tools like Rippack3, but it doesn't offer me any audio output format options other than DTS...

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance
Georges

    3 possibilities (see more...) :
    - Use "MediaCoder" (http://mediacoder.fr/) to convert everything (video + audio)
    - Use "xRecode II" (http://xrecode.com/) to convert just the audio stream (from .dts file to .ac3)
    - Use "FFMpeg" (http://ffmpeg.org/) in command line to convert the audio stream
    command line: ffmpeg.exe -i [source .dts file name] -f ac3 -acodec ac3 -ab 640000 [destination .ac3 file name]

    To extract the audio stream from a file (file .mkv, .avi, .mp4), use MkvExtractGUI or MKVEWizard (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MKVExtractGUI), but you will need to have MKVToolnix (https://mkvtoolnix.download/) beforehand
    or Yamb (http://yamb.unite-video.com/)

    To extract everything directly from a DVD-Video, use DVD Decrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/).
    Interesting guide: http://doom9.free.fr/dvddec.htm
    (be careful, breaking the protection of a commercial DVD is illegal...)

    To get information about a video file (video, audio, subtitle streams, ...) use MediaInfo
    (http://mediaarea.net/fr/MediaInfo)

    All these tools are free/opensource or fully functional even in demo version (xRecode).
