Scenarist 8.0.10: Unable to use TrueHD or DTS-HD extension streams — version limitation or configuration issue?

Dell23

Could someone help me or tell me if it's possible to use TrueHD or DTS/DTS-HD audio in Scenarist 8.0.10? I have the cracked version but I can't use those track extensions.

Translated：有人能帮我或者告诉我，在 Scenarist 8.0.10 中是否可以使用 TrueHD 或 DTS/DTS-HD 音频吗？我用的是破解版，但无法使用这些音轨扩展名。

Conclusion: Scenarist BD 8.0.10 fully supports TrueHD and DTS/DTS-HD audio.

According to official specifications, Scenarist BD has natively supported Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio since v6.1. So if you're using a "perfect/cracked" version with full functionality, these formats should theoretically work without issues.

If you still cannot use those track extensions, the problem is most likely in your import workflow or audio track preprocessing, not the software's capability.

To help you troubleshoot accurately, please describe your import process in detail:

• Audio source: Where did your TrueHD/DTS-HD track come from? (e.g., demuxed directly from a Blu-ray disc, extracted with tsMuxeR/eac3to, or another tool?)
• File format: What is the file extension of your audio track? (e.g., .thd+ac3, .dtshd, .dts, etc.)
• Import steps: Are you dragging the audio file directly into Scenarist's Data window, or importing via menu? At which step does the error occur?
• Error details: What is the exact error message? If there's an error dialog, please upload a screenshot so I can diagnose the issue more precisely.
  

Common issues include:

• TrueHD tracks with embedded AC3 cores need to be split first using tools like BD Demuxer Pro's "divide AC3-MLP" feature before importing into Scenarist.
• DTS-HD tracks may need to be demuxed and re-encoded to pass Scenarist's smoothing validation.

中文回答：

结论：Scenarist BD 8.0.10 完全可以支持 TrueHD 和 DTS/DTS-HD 音频。

根据官方资料，Scenarist BD 从 v6.1 起就已经原生支持 Dolby TrueHD、DTS-HD High Resolution Audio 和 DTS-HD Master Audio。 因此，如果你使用的是"完美版"（功能完整的破解版），理论上这些格式都应该可以正常导入和使用。

如果你目前仍然无法使用这些音轨扩展名，问题很可能出在导入流程或音轨预处理上，而非软件本身不支持。

为了帮你准确排查问题，请详细描述一下你的导入过程：

• 音轨来源：你的 TrueHD/DTS-HD 音轨是从哪里获取的？（例如：直接从蓝光原盘拆出、用 tsMuxeR/eac3to 提取、还是其他工具？）
• 音轨格式：音轨文件的后缀名是什么？（如 .thd+ac3、.dtshd、.dts 等）
• 导入步骤：你是直接将音轨文件拖入 Scenarist 的 Data 窗口，还是通过菜单导入？具体到了哪一步报错？
• 错误信息：报错的具体内容是什么？如果有错误弹窗，请上传错误截图，这样我可以更准确地判断问题所在。
  

常见的问题包括：

• TrueHD 音轨带有内嵌 AC3 核心，需要先用工具（如 BD Demuxer Pro 的 "divide AC3-MLP"）分离内核和外壳后再导入。
• DTS-HD 音轨可能需要拆分后重新编码才能通过 Scenarist 的 smoothing 验证。
  

请补充以上信息，我会进一步帮你解决。

I used two REMUX sources, one DTS-HD audio and one TrueHD audio. I used ffmpeg and eac3to to extract both in the first attempts. I tried using the extensions .dts, .dtshd, .thd, and thd+ac3, but none were recognized. I don't remember the exact error message, but the DTS error said the "format was not dts". Up until then, I had been importing these files by dragging them into the DataTree.

English:
It sounds like you’re trying to import raw DTS-HD and TrueHD streams into Scenarist, but the software is rejecting them. Here are a few key points:

• Scenarist requires specific container formats – For DTS-HD, Scenarist expects a .dtshd or sometimes a .cpt (encapsulated) stream. A raw .dts file (core only) won't work. For TrueHD, it expects .thd or .mlp (Meridian Lossless Packing). Even with the correct extension, the internal bitstream syntax must be exactly as Blu-ray spec requires.
• The error “format was not dts” – This suggests Scenarist is reading the file but doesn’t recognize its frame headers or channel mapping. This can happen if ffmpeg or eac3to didn't demux the stream in "pure" Blu-ray compliant form. For example, eac3to sometimes adds a padded zero byte or a different sync word.
• Try remuxing with tsMuxeR – Instead of dragging raw elementary streams into DataTree, use tsMuxeR to load your REMUX .m2ts file, then output as Blu-ray folder (or extract the audio in “demux” mode with “keep Blu-ray compliant” option). This often fixes sync and framing issues.
• Check eac3to parameters – For DTS-HD MA, use:
  eac3to input.thd output.dtshd -core (if you only need the core) or just output.dtshd for full stream. For TrueHD, use:
  eac3to input.thd+ac3 output.thd (extract only the TrueHD part, without AC3 core). Scenarist may reject thd+ac3 interleaved; split them first.
• Cracked version limitation – It's possible the crack disables certain muxer filters (especially for lossless or extension tracks). If all else fails, consider using a different authoring tool like DoStudio or TSCorporation’s Blurip.
  Recommendation: Try generating the streams with eac3to and then re-pack them into a TS/M2TS container using tsMuxeR. Import that M2TS into Scenarist instead of the raw audio. Scenarist will accept the audio inside the container.

从你的描述看，你正尝试把从 REMUX 源提取的 DTS-HD 和 TrueHD 原始流直接拖入 Scenarist 的 DataTree，但软件不识别。以下是可能原因和解决方法：

• Scenarist 对音频格式要求严格
  
  • DTS-HD 需要扩展名为 .dtshd 或封装成 .cpt（加密包），单纯的 .dts（仅核心）无法被识别为高清格式。
  • TrueHD 需要 .thd 或 .mlp。即使扩展名正确，内部码流也必须完全符合蓝光规范（包括帧头、通道顺序等）。
    
• 错误信息 “format was not dts”
  这说明 Scenarist 能读取文件，但检测到帧头或同步字不符合 DTS 标准。常见原因是 ffmpeg 或 eac3to 提取时没有保留“纯蓝光兼容”格式。例如 eac3to 有时会添加填充字节或修改同步字。
• 改用 tsMuxeR 重新封装
  不要直接把原始音频流拖入 DataTree，而是：
  
  • 用 tsMuxeR 加载你的 REMUX 源文件（.m2ts）
  • 输出模式选 Blu-ray folder，或者用“Demux”功能并勾选“Keep Blu-ray compliant”
  • 这样生成的音频流通常能被 Scenarist 接受。
    
• 检查 eac3to 参数
  
  • 提取 DTS-HD MA：eac3to 输入.thd 输出.dtshd（不要加 -core 除非你只要核心）
  • 提取 TrueHD：eac3to 输入.thd+ac3 输出.thd（分离出纯 TrueHD，不要带 AC3 核心）。Scenarist 不识别交错的 thd+ac3。
    
• 破解版限制
  某些破解版可能会屏蔽无损音轨或多扩展流的混流功能。如果以上方法都无效，可以换用 DoStudio、TSCorporation Blurip 等别的编著软件。
  

建议步骤：
先用 eac3to 提取 → 再用 tsMuxeR 将音频封装进干净的 M2TS 容器（不包含视频）→ 将这个 M2TS 拖入 Scenarist 的 DataTree。Scenarist 对容器内的音频兼容性更好。
