Making a 7.1 DCP from a DTS-HD MA source...

[hal9000]

Is it possible to create a 7.1 DCP from a Blu-ray with a 7.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack? I know it can be done with a 7.1 Dolby True HD track, but for some reason the DTS will only create a 5.1 core audio DCP and not a 7.1 HD. I'm assuming if you have a 5.1 DTS-HD MA file it'll only extract the core 5.1 audio for the DCP and not the HD MA file at all, since that's what it does for 7.1. Am I correct in thinking this? I'm sure that the files I'm using do in fact have the 7.1 DTS-HD MA tracks when I go to create the DCP. Am I doing something wrong? If the answer is no, will the DCP-o-matic ever be able to create DCPs with the HD MA audio in the future? Hopefully this all made sense. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hmm, I never tried, I think I don't have any 7.1 Blurays in my collection.

I just googled 'ffmpeg dts hd 7.1' and it seems as if there is a problem indeed. But there may also be a solution.
