This should work:

1. perform a standard extraction to .WAV files,
2. rename the .WAV files to .DTS,
3. open them with Foobar and convert them to PCM WAV,
4. burn WAVs to an Audio CD.

Hope this helps, and welcome to the forums.

the extension is .cda, how do I convert this to .dts????

Never seen one before. Thanks.
How should this work from CD???

*edit*

OK, found it.

You have not ripped the files correctly... CDA are not true files.

You must have .wav files, several megabytes each. To do that, you can use EAC, CDex or any other ripper available, or even Nero if you have it... then follow the steps descripted above.

Sorry, what do you mean exactly?

EDIT: Ah, I see, you've found the answer by yourself.

ET, you were too fast for me.

Sorry.

hi, i tried this but i doesn't work. foobar wont read .dts files. it says they are in an unrecognized format.

Hi, sorry if I'm really late with the answer.

You're using foobar 0.9, right? The foo_dts plugin has been removed from Foobar for licensing reasons... see this thread at Hydrogenaudio. I was using previous version 0.8.x at the time of the post.

ah ok, thanks. i was able to extract with VLC player but it took forever cause it can only do 1 file at a time, and it doesnt save any of the settings. what a lame program. then i converted to 2 channel wavs with quicktime. i couldnt find anything else to open the 6 channel wavs.

That's like saying "it took me ages to open a can of beans with this bicycle tyre pump. what a lame bicycle pump"

hmm, well that's probably the most innaccurate analogy i've ever heard. what i was trying to do is included as one of the programs features (bicycle pumps do not include can opening in the instructions/features, VLC player includes playing and converting files from CDs in it's instructions/features), but it works very poorly. It can't even properly play the files on the CD. if you try to skip fwd or back, it just glitches and goes back to the beginning. and why shouldnt it save your settings so you dont have to go thru 4 pages of options and questions in the wizard for each and every track you want to convert, and also not be able to just do the whole cd at once?

it may work well for other things but these are enough obvious functions that barely work for me to say that it is lame.

I have DTS-WAV file ( a 5.1 Mixups ) i tried it burning to Cd using Roxio CD burning software and created an audio CD, I have Denon DVD player 1730 and Denon AVR 1907 at my home and DVD player is connected to AVR using Co-AX Digital o/p.....when i tried playing the DTS-CD which i created using my Roxio CD burning software..yes it palys fine sound is also a good qality but it playes in sterio mode though my AVR detects the stream is DTS and it shows on cosole that its playing DTS strem...but sounds comes out only from left and right speakers and sub woofer....and all rest i.e C, SR, and SL are silent ....so i did al exercise to lisen DTS music and finally it is playing like a sterio i.e thru only two channels...Pls hel me did i burn the wav files in wrong way ? Does Roxio dose not capable to burn the DTS WAV file in to CD ? or thats all is possioble for DTS-CD, means it will play only two channels...Thanks Pls reply this asap

If your goal is a standard 2 channel WAV, then I'd let your PC decode the DTS and capture the file with a stream grabber like TotalRecorder.

If I understand good:
There is no software doing that for you

You try to get a 5.1 downmix to stereo. This is a sound studio job. You need a mixing desk. The engineer will mix your extra tracks (C, Ls, Rs, LFE) to the L and R channels. Then you can get your stereo mix and burn it to a CD.
Alternative solution extract the content of the DTS-CD and burn only L and R channels to your CD (if it's .dts or .cpt and not .wav files).
If your file is not .wav file you need to go through a decoder and back to a recorder but record only the L and R channels.

Nirajand :
When you encore DTS-CD you can choose the number of channels you will use. Some productions have a normal stereo mix encoded in the DTS file format on a CD. In that case usually the stereo tracks are also going to the LFE channel.

To encore DTS file format there is a couple of software to encode DTS:
