How ASF Handles DTS Data
Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the ASF Container format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in ASF Container are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality DTS Audio input produces an excellent ASF Container output. Xonvert defaults to high quality settings that keep file size reasonable without compromising perceivable quality. DTS Audio encodes data using perceptual compression that prioritizes human perception. ASF Container similarly focuses on perceptual quality. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
