mtconvy - ffmpeg command-line helper utility to convert DTS audio tracks in video files to AC3 or AAC ones using ffmpeg utility.
LG dropped DTS support for the 2020–2022 models of their TVs and removed it once again starting with the 2025 models. So if you downloaded movie wuth high-quailty DTS sound you have to coinvert it to AC3 or AAC codec.
This is done well with ffmpeg. But there two problems:
- ffmpeg has very complicated command-line syntax hard to keep in memory
- you should manually explore available tracks with
ffprobeormediainfoto know which tracks to convert
mtconvy utility makes selection of tracks and conversion very simple and easy. It also support file renaming.
Works well on PCs under Linux/Windows and also on Linux-based NASes.
