Is there a way to get the DTS sound on my DVDs to play in VLC 0.7. I dont have any other DVD player software that support DTS.

My computer:
Windows 2000
VLC 0.7
Soundblaster Audigy
2500XP
Analogue 5.1 speakers

There is no such way.

VLC can use an external decoder for this.

Are there any plans to let VLC decode DTS sound?

He said he didn't have aditional hardware, so this is a mood point

If I'm not completely blind he said he had no other dvd player software.

Thanks for your awnsers. I have just gone out and got WinDVD 5 because it supports DTS. I had hoped to keep using VLC for all my DVDs, but it does not matter too much since I have a region-free DVD ROM drive.

the reason there is no DTS decoder in VLC is because then you would need to pay dolby royalties or something. DTS is actually quite a proprietary format.

isn't it possible to let vlc use the dts decompression from windvd?
