Music DVD, James Taylor Live at The Beacon Theatre...

PowerDVD shows two audio tracks:
"LPCM 2.0" (2304 Kbps) and "Dolby Digital 5.1" (448 Kbps).

DVDfabDecrypter sees: "dts PCM/2" and "Dolby Digital AC-3/5.1".

On the back cover, it is instead "Dolby Stereo" and "Dolby Digital 5.1 Sorround Sound".


What should I contribute as audio formats?

Err, I'd try some additional tools.  PCM stream for DVD Video spec is hard limited to 1.5 Mb (48khz/16bit/2ch), unless this is a HD disc we're talking about - I'm not as familiar with that spec.  That's even an unreasonably high bitrate for DTS...  What does your receiver report the stream as?  Might also see what DVDDecrypter and/or VOBedit read it as.

Definitely not HD

AC3 5.1 and LPCM2

As I said, DVDfabDecrypter reports "dts PCM/2" and "Dolby Digital AC-3/5.1".

I am not familiar with VOBedit, anyway I see it shows "AC3" and "PCM" audio packs.
The PCM audio packs look like this:

Brain implode!  Overthinking things such I had forgot that 16/20/24bit PCM are all theoretically in-spec for DVD Video.   

Evidently the 24bit form is causing DVDfabDecrypter to misreport as DTS, and PowerDVD is correct.

Unless this is labeled as a hybrid DVD-Audio/Video, I'd probably call it PCM Stereo - it's certainly very unlikely to be DTS.
