SNDT to DTS conversion is the process of transforming audio files stored in the SNDT (Sony Native Digital Track) format into the DTS (Digital Theater Systems) multichannel surround sound codec. This conversion repackages or re-encodes the audio so it is playable on DTS-compatible players and devices while preserving channel layout and metadata where possible.
