This conversion is used when users need high-quality multichannel audio from recorded TV content for home theater playback or archival purposes while preserving sync and channel layout.

Keep individual WTV files under 1 GB for faster, more reliable conversions; ideal target is 100–500 MB for single-episode clips.
To preserve audio fidelity, extract the original audio track and use a lossless intermediate (PCM/WAV) before encoding to DTS-HD Master if available.
For batch conversions, maintain consistent naming and create presets (bitrate, channels) to ensure uniform output and save time.
Format limitation: WTV is a container and may include protected/DRM-protected streams that cannot be converted; verify files are not DRM-locked.
