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

Yes, works perfectly. Just had to make a minor change to the command:

find /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec ./mkvdts2ac3.sh -d ‘{}’ \;
^

You can add flags immediately after the script name just as you would if you were running it directly.

find /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec mkvdts2ac3.sh -d '{}' \;

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)?

This 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:

find /path/to/mainFolder -name *\\.mkv -exec mkvdts2ac3.sh '{}' \;

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.”
