This script is a wrapper around mkvdts2ac3.sh, and uses it to convert mkv audio tracks in bulk. It's meant for english-speaking Chromecast users and converts only DTS to AC3 (Chromecast does not support DTS audio).
The included copy of mkvdts2ac3.sh is slightly modified to also convert DTS-HD. You must install the dependencies for mkvdts2ac3.sh before using this script.
- Takes one argument - a directory which will be scanned recursively for .mkv files - e.g.
python3 bulk-dts-convert.py /home/me/myvideos - Converts files under only two conditions:
- if the only audio track is DTS
- if the default track is DTS and there are no other tracks with english defined as the language.
