A bit of background information.
DTS-HD MA statnds for DTS High Definition Master Audio. It is a loss-less format (meaning no loss of quality) and can deliver multiple channels from 5.1 to 7.1 and beyond.
It can be delivered via either AVCHD (essentially BluRay disk format on DVD media) or BluRay Discs and requires a BluRay player or Software Player capable of DTS-HD MA.
It is also backwards compatible, in that if you don't have DTS-HD MA capability, your player should be able to play the DTS "core" with the same quality as on DVDs (Regular DTS, as on DVD and DTS CDs is a lossy format, meaning some quality is lost in the encoding/decoding process).
That also means that the DTS "core" can be extracted and used to make a DVD version of the AVCHD or BluRay containing DTS-HD MA. That's the purpose of the above guide.
If you don't have a BluRay player, or like me, can play DVDs in the Car but not BluRay/AVCHD, you can still make DVD versions and play those. Yes, the quality will not be as good, but it will be as good as DVDs allow.
