    Default Poor performance transcoding DTS?

    I generally get about 450fps when transcoding, but anything with DTS seems to transcode at around 80fps. I’m using directx/NVENC, any ideas?

    Mezzmo does not remux or transcode to DTS, so any file with DTS that is transcoded will generally go to AC3 audio. Can you please post the ffmpeg information of the file by right-clicking on the file in Mezzmo and select Get FFmpeg information and let us know the profile you are using in Mezzmo for the device. The files with DTS may be doing a full transcode which is slow where files with other formats are being remuxed (copied) which is much faster.

    This is from DTS to what seems to be PCM stereo (AC3 would be fine). This sort of dovetails with my other post regarding Roku.

    I'm using a lightly hacked Roku 4k prf. I just removed the dts format:
    <format id="dts">
    </format>

    Here's why...

    I have a Roku in my room. This Roku is a 4k Ultra (latest) connected to a 2-channel amplifier that does not decode either AC3 or DTS (et al). The Roku (as far as I can tell) will downmix AC3, but only does DTS passthru. At least, if it is AC3, it plays fine, if it is DTS, I get no sound. Once I removed the container for DTS as above, I could play a movie, but I get a lot of buffering and it *seems* to transcode DTS to stereo, but I can't be certain, as the device is stereo, so even if it were coverting it to AC3 I wouldn't know with this device (the Roku itself is set to output PCM stereo only).

    I get that I am on the fringes of supportability here, but it seems like a viable scenario folks could run into (DTS sound with a Roku connected to a stereo amplifier). Here is the ffmpeg output:

    matroska is set to pretranscodeonly="1", so when playing a file that transcodes on the fly it will go to hls. You can try removing pretranscodeonly="1" and this will allow it to remux the video which should be much faster but you will not be able to fast forward
