Summary of the bug:
According to ETSI TS 102 114 Annex E, and ETSI TS 103 491 Annex B, DTS
codec family should be signaled with specific Sample Description Entry
boxes and DTSSpecificBox. FFmpeg currently does not produce files
conforming to these specs, making these files unplayable on playback
systems following the spec.
Please refer to ETSI TS 102 114 Table E-1 and ETSI TS 103 491 Table B-1
for the Sample Description Entry tag mapping for different DST codecs.
How to reproduce:
{{{
% ffmpeg -i https://fate-suite.ffmpeg.org/dts/dts.ts -c:a copy dts.mp4
}}}
Inspect the resulting MP4 shows the Sample Description Entry has
{{{mp4a}}} tag instead of {{{dtsc}}}, and no {{ddts}} box.
