Convert DTS to AC3

I have a MKV movie that has DTS for audio, however, my TV only supports MP3 or AC3 for audio playback. Does anyone know how to extract the audio from the file, convert it to AC3, then reattach it to the MKV file?

Thank you.

iMac 24", Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Hi first if you haven't found videohelp.com then you must check it out. there you will find a mac tools section with mkvtools and mkvmerge. One of my favorites is Smartlabs Tsmuxer is is a very helpful tool muxes, demuxes, downconvert of HDaudio to standard dts or Ac3 core.

good luck

you need to select the audio clip in the window, under the import window, after it is imported and then below that it will change and instead of seeing the video options you will see the audio options. check the box that says downconvertDTS. You should understand that there is now DTS decoder for the mac and if you are going to use these on your PS3/360 you will need to take that demuxed file to a pc to convert to an AC3 or ACC file for use in an .M2TS file. email me if you have further problems. Don't upgrade to Snow leopard it breaks TSmuxer
