I’ve searched all over and I seem to be the only one with this problem. All I want to do is demux the .dtshd audio stream from a .mka file.
I run the command ffmpeg.exe -i "English.mka" -c copy "English.dtshd"
I get the error:
[NULL @ 0000000002ce9540] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'English.d
tshd'
English.dtshd: Invalid argument
It seems that it doesn’t support demuxing of the .dtshd file extension? Everything I’ve searched seems to indicate that the above command should work:
How to extract a DTSHD audio stream from a mkv-file using ffmpeg
I ran ffmpeg -formats and it includes:
File formats:
D. = Demuxing supported
.E = Muxing supported
--
DE dts raw DTS
D dtshd raw DTS-HD
It should work? But it doesn’t:
E:USERaudio>ffmpeg.exe -i "English.mka" -c copy "English.dtshd"

I’ve tried different versions of ffmpeg, some of them years old even, and they all give the above result.
Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? :
