VLC doesn't seem to differentiate between DTS and DTS-MA. A tool like Mediainfo ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaInfo ) can tell the difference however. Perfect, that helped. Thank you! (it was the first audio track) (GUI version of Mediainfo seems problematic... bummer. But commandline version...

By default, MakeMKV will extract the "core audio" from certain "lossless" tracks into a more-compatible "lossy" track. The metadata remains the same. In other words, if you have a 7.1 DTS-MA HD track to start with, you'll also have a lossy 7.1 DTS track that more playe...

So tonight I ripped my blu-ray Criterion edition of Brazil (1985). In MakeMKV (1.15.2) when I open the disk pre-rip it it shows a DTS-MA track, a mono track (director commentary), and the subtitles track. But then after ripping, opening the resulting MKV file in VLC shows two DTS-MA audio tracks (al...

For standard blu ray I don't believe so. I'm so quick to flash these things when they come I've not tried on the latest firmware revision. I've more of these arriving Monday and can certainly check if you want to hold off ordering until then. Just thought I'd follow up to see if you had had a chanc...

If you're able to mount the drive internally in your tower pc pick up an LG WH16NS60, it's a UHD Official class drive that can be updated later to enable 4K disc backup.

Sounds like a plan. I can (and prefer to) go internal. Does firmware/revision matter for this model?

Thanks for the quick replies from all of you willing to assist. :) To answer the multiple people who suggested it: I already tried just copying the m2ts files in the OS, but even that chokes. That's why I know it's not a MakeMKV issue and more fundamental at the drive level, and jumped straight to t...

Well, I think it's time to upgrade my BD drive. :( I currently have an Asus BW-12B1ST_a w/ firmware 1.00. From what I can tell, it's a dead-end as far as LibreDrive is concerned. The few times I've ripped commercial disks it's been fine. But I have this very important custom (unencrypted) BD-R that ...
