Hello all,
I have a *.mkv file with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Stream. I extracted it and converted it to a multi-channel wave file. The result is a very slow audio (approx. 3 times slower) and still it is shown as 20 minutes shorter than the original audio.
So far I tried extracting/converting with TSMuxer, Avidemux, MKVToolnix, VLC and foobar2000. I either get a "wrong file format"/"unsupported compression" error in Premiere Pro when converting to *.dts or *.ts or a corrupted file like described above when converting to wav/FLAC. Maybe my MKV is broken, but I don't know how to fix it.
Can somebody help?
Thanks in advance

And while we’re at it, we need to figure out why they kept calling Mark Hamill’s character “Luke Skywalker,” since it’s my subjective opinion that his name is actually Schnarzle Shnuzzle. It just doesn’t make sense!
Damn you George Lucas for never explaining why they all keep calling Schnarzle “Luke”!
Damn You!!!
DTS isn't directly supported for editing by Premiere, so you'll get that error every time you try to import it (including container files like *.ts if the audio data format is still DTS).
Assuming there isn't a problem inherent in the stream you're converting, you might get better results with either eac3to or (if you prefer a friendly GUI) TFM Audio Tool. Either of these should give you a properly converted WAV file.
Thank you for your answer, Jonno.
I forgot to mention that I already tried eac3to, it looked like it worked its way through the whole file but ended up giving me only the first 7 minutes.
Do you know how to fix a stream error?

Damn You!!!
Afraid I can't help you with that. Is it a commercial source? You may have to go back to the original disc for a clean version.
No, it is not. I guess unfortunately I have to find another source for this.
Thank you for your help.

As far as I know, MPEG-2 video codec and mp2 audio(or ac3) codec are optimal for editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Here is a full guide on how to convert and import MKV to Premiere Pro CC.
In marked contrast to the spam bot above me, I have found the solution. My files were too big, over the 4 GB limit of WAV files. I knew that there was a limit, I just thought that it will stand out much earlier, at the point of file creation.
Now I chopped the file down and had to fix them because of another problem with Premiere Pro:
