mkvdts2ac3 1.0.0 released!
Version 1.0.0 of mkvdts2ac3 has been released, the first major milestone for the script. mkvdts2ac3 is a bash script which automates the conversion of DTS audio tracks to AC3 audio from within matroska files. You can read more about it here if you are not familiar with it.
You can download tarballs or zipballs from the GitHub download page. The current version is actually 1.0.2. I have made a few fixes since the actual tagging of 1.0.0 in the repository.

How can I use this on all my .mkv files with a single command (they are all in the same folder)? If I do this:
./mkvdts2ac3.sh /mainFolder/*.mkv
I get this error – “ERROR: You cannot supply any arguments after the filename. Please check the command syntax below against what has been parsed.”
August 18th, 2009 at 6:23 amThis is a good question and is something that I have had to do more than once. While support for multiple input files might be added in the future, the following command should be sufficient for now:
August 20th, 2009 at 12:04 amfind /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec mkvdts2ac3.sh '{}' \;Thanks!
Also, what change do I have to make to this command if I want to use the -d option (to set the new AC3 track as default)?

August 20th, 2009 at 9:47 amfind /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec mkvdts2ac3.sh -d '{}' \;Yes, works perfectly. Just had to make a minor change to the command:
find /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec ./mkvdts2ac3.sh -d ‘{}’ \;

Thanks for the DTS to AC3 conversion. My PCH is happy again.
