Apple Video to DTS conversion is the process of extracting or rewrapping audio from an M4V (Apple Video) file into the DTS (Digital Theater Systems) audio format, producing a file where the audio stream uses DTS encoding suitable for surround sound playback. This conversion typically involves decoding the M4V container, converting or transcoding the audio track to DTS, and optionally muxing it back into a compatible container for playback or authoring.
