Your version of handbrake may be lacking the code for descrambling the
data. So far as I recall all the versions of Linux I've used in many years
provide this as standard.

Also, I can't comment when the track is DTS as I've not tried to read
that on any discs. My taste in content isn't for the kind of films
it tends to be used for. Ditto for my lack of interest in 'surround'.

If you can see the video with VLC then VLC is unscrambling the data.
Is it playing the DTS or some other audio track? The audio part
of VLC should list tracks to choose between.

I assume you're using Windows which I can't really advise about. But the
Ubuntu-derived Linux distros I've used simply 'just work' for Handbrake
these days if you opted for 'all codecs' when installing.

FWIW I generally avoid using VLC for ripping. It is a PITA to find and set
it to work. And have to do it every time. Whereas you save a profile with
Handbrake and then its DnD and go.

I think so yes.

When you first try to see the sound tracks in VLC it only lists one.
Then, after you've selected DTS in the DVD menu it shows two with the
second one marked.

Yes.

Thanks for trying anyway. I would like to see this myself to be
honest.
