Hey,
borisanddoris did the rip using WinAmp and a DTS decoder, which decoded the DTS reel discs to wave. After the audio was in a format that I could work with, I just adjusted the levels, spliced the reels together with frame accuracy using Audacity, then exported losslessly.
The fully detailed tutorial is in the thread, which lists the free and/or open source tools that I used, but the hard part is the manual splicing process. You can use any tools that do the job, but this is the step by step of what needs to be done.
1) Decode DTS to WAV.
2) Determine the destination and resample the resolution and/or adjust the framerate of the audio (for instance, if the destination will be Blu-ray, then you'll convert to 48KHz resolution at 23.976fps).
3) Merge the reels together.
4) Edit out the duplicate parts.
5) Playback the movie while the audio is playing to ensure proper synchronization.
6) Export losslessly (to WAV).
7) Convert to your format of choice (there are free/open tools to convert to Dolby, but DTS is harder to work with. I only use free or open tools, so I had to send it off to borisanddoris to be encoded to DTS, likely using the DTS Encoder Suite which costs a pretty penny).
8) Rip your video source.
9) Demultiplex the video from the container.
10) Multiplex the video from your video source with the audio from the DTS source.
11) Convert the outputted video to your favorite means of transport media (I prefer not to use discs, so I export to MKV).
12) Press play, crank it till you hear the horns pierce your eardrums, then set it back 2 ticks, and enjoy!
