This will extract the entire track into a TrueHD file with the TrueHD file extension. Here you can see I've selected what says MLP FBA 16-ch. Once open, select the audio track you wish. Open MKVCleaver, then select the MKV file from within the app. The reason I have both a single MKV file and individual MKA files is because I want a single track (for listening to the entire album) and separate tracks for picking and choosing.

Install the app named mkvtoolnix and the gui for the app, named MKVCLeaver. However, if you want to decode TrueHD on a computer, keep reading. Note: if you want to output the MKV or MKA files via HDMI into an AVR with Dolby Atmos decoding, then you don't need to go any further. Once you have both MKV and MKA files, you're ready to extract the lossless TrueHD files needed for decoding.

I prefer to extract only the audio portion of these tracks, so I use an application called Music Media Helper 6. This app will enable you to extract individual audio tracks in MKA format. Once MakeMKV has ripped the track into an MKV file, you'll have both the audio and video together. Again, it says 7.1, but the metadata will be used to create a 5.1.2, 7.1.4, 9.1.4 or greater mix. I have the TrueHD Surround 7.1 English track selected to rip. Here you can see The Beatles Abbey Road Blu-ray. Ripping the content is done by the MakeMKV application. To do this, use a Blu-ray drive such as the Archgon BU40N that can also rip UHD 4K Blu-ray Discs (although a firmware adjustment is required to rip UHD). Start by ripping the Dolby TrueHD content from a Blu-ray Disc. With respect to performance, a computer based system can use several types of room correction, 65,000+ taps, upsample to high rate PCM or DSD, and output to high end DACs with interfaces much better than HDMI. The flexibility of a computer based system is endless (for better or worse). The cost of a high end processor can set you back $10,000 or much more. Why would someone want to decode and play Dolby TrueHD Atmos content on a computer rather than an AVR or processor? Mainly it's about cost, flexibility, and performance. The only source of lossless Dolby TrueHD Atmos is on Blu-ray Discs. However, this is the lossy version, not TrueHD lossless. This is how Atmos / Spatial Audio content can be played and listened to on a Mac.

MacOS has a built-in Dolby Digital Plus decoder using what's called DD+JOC. It isn't practical to extract the height channels to a separate file, these are available at the time of decoding. This makes the content on Blu-ray Discs appear like plain 7.1, but when decoded, the height channels are filled. 7 main channels, 1 subwoofer, and 4 height channels.īoth DD+ and TrueHD carry the height channels in metadata.
For example I'm putting together a 7.1.4 Atmos system. There are two codecs used with Dolby Atmos content.Ītmos offers additional height channels to the more traditional 5.1 or 7.1.

Here is a little background and all the information you'll need to decode and play lossless Dolby TrueHD with Atmos on a Windows or macOS computer, without the need for HDMI output. “That’s immersive technology.Yes, you read the title correctly. “I put people in front of it and see their bodies reacting,” she described. Her job, as she described it, is “thinking about deep science that hasn’t been solved,” which includes developing thermal imaging that the retina interprets as real fire. She also shared observations about her research in brain science and how it relates to immersive audio and visual technology she’s developing for Dolby. She explained why her female students are more readily discouraged from pursuing science and technology fields: “There is a different mindset … A lot of times it’s a mindset of, ‘I don’t already do that so I can’t do that.'”īy removing prerequisite requirements from her class, Crum believes she’s removing extra barriers of entry for women.Ĭrum closed with some advise: “Don’t define yourself for what you did in the past. Define yourself for what you want to do in the future.” Why? “Because if I did I’d never get any women.” “I don’t have any requirements,” she said of the coding class she teaches at the research university.

The Dolby neuroscientist doubles as a professor at Stanford, where she employs a novel technique for recruiting female tech students.Īlso Read: Watch Facebook Live of Malin Akerman at TheWrap's Power Women Breakfast in San Francisco (Video) “Nobody’s trying to have a bias - it just happens.” “I do feel that when you don’t have a certain percentage of male-to-female balance, exists,” she said, noting ways prejudice unconsciously permeates workplace culture. “It happens a lot,” she said on Wednesday at TheWrap’s Power Women Breakfast in San Francisco.Ĭrum recalled being at a scientific gathering in Geneva where she was among the only women in an auditorium of 250 men. Dolby Laboratories head scientist Poppy Crum knows what it’s like to be the only woman in a roomful of men.
