Makes it a feckin' expensive dongle too, I can tell you. When you want to run a decode, you have to switch yer system clock back 12 months (and don't try to run Cubendo or hope that your tools of choice are not tied to system clocks) and it ought to work.įWIW, I guilt tripped DTS into providing a free upgrade to the DTS-X encoder, which runs on herself's Mac Book Pro. I didn't try that, but I guess it will work. They also told me that as a workaround, I might want to try resetting my system clock to prior to the start of 2021. So I emailed DTS, who told me the product was no longer supported and to upgrade to the DTS-X encoder (mac only). When the timebomb hit me, I was blown away that a $1500 piece of software I had paid for a perpetual license for was no longer working. I wonder if resetting dtshd.exe & DtsJobQueue.exe to compatibility mode would do on my W7 setup? Of course you must have a working DTS-MAS encoder installed. This will do whatever upfront processing is necessary, ( specifically, converting to mono wav files ), then it will open up the DTS-MAS encoder with a list of mono files displayed, one file at a time, so you can load the mono files easily into the encoder. You simply load your MCH source files and select DTS HD as the output. But for now, it works.įor those that weren't aware, Pl4it has long had incorporated into AudioMuxer a process to convert from wav or flac MCH files to DTSHD. Right out of the gate I got an error from the encoder so I swapped in the modified DtsJobQueue.exe file and that fixed it. OK once again I installed Virtualbox & a Windows 7 image, worked through some hassles, but eventually got the DTS MAS encoder, Java & AudioMuxer installed. But every try would lodge another instance of DtsJobQueue in the active tasks. But no matter what steps I took, the DTS-MAS GUI would not come up. So it happened I wanted to do a little project and it was necessary to encode as DTSHD.
