I decided how to name the audio tracks. Now, I want to name the video tracks, didn't see that coming.

Do all 4k blu rays use HEVC Main10@L5.1 for the main feature? How would you name the video tracks based on the format/codec?

Not sure what this has to do with the topic, but yeah, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X aren't codecs, but rather metadata upon an existing stream. I'm just trying to name the audio tracks like the subtitle tracks. This is the very last step in this whole project and thought to keep it in the same thread. Tha...

I looked into the audio codecs that Dolby and DTS have to offer. I understand that Dolby TrueHD is an audio codec, but Dolby Atmos is not. Instead, Dolby Atmos is an object based audio format. An audio track with the Dolby TrueHD codec may or may not have Dolby Atmos in addition. Even if the Dolby T...

Thanks again for the feedback DukeFleed. One last question, if I want to only change the name of an audio/subtitle track for a mkv file using mkvtoolnix, do I still have to choose multiplex? Always. That's not true. You can edit the Metadata of any track without remuxing. In MKVToolnix GUI open the...

Subtitle Tracks For example, I was thinking of naming the subtitle track for the main feature " Main Feature (SDH) " or " Main Feature ". I'm not sure how else you can name a forced subtitle track other than " Forced ". When selecting a subtitle track in VLC, " - ...

Audio Tracks I think this is less subjective with audio tracks. However, I'm getting different information and not sure which to go by. I only keep one audio track for the for the main feature and try to select the highest quality. For example, makemkv names the audio track for 2012 " TrueHD S...

I decided to have all SDH subs even though I much prefer the non-SDH subs. At least this way, everything is the same. Now, I'm ready to use mkvtoolnix and remove the sub tracks I don't want. I understand how to do this and have no questions about it. However, I'm considering naming the subtitle and...

Okay, that makes sense. I should be all set and thanks again for your feedback!

Okay, thanks for the feedback. I'm really on the fence with it, but I will decide soon. Actually, I have only (1) title in my collection that only has a non-SDH track. This is Silence of the Lambs 4k. Every other title has only a SDH track or both. Did you ever come across any 4k's with only a non-...

I think the same as dcoke22.

Thanks for the feedback and all your help!

I also prefer non-SDH subtitle tracks, but if a title only has an SDH track, then that's what I use. Having a mix of the two in my library doesn't bother me all that much.

I finally re-ripped all my discs, this time selecting all the subtitle tracks. I took my time, only doing 1-2 each day. I decided I'm not going to bother with converting SDH tracks into non-SDH tracks. It's just seems like way too much work having to manually review everything. Errors are bound to h...

This is why I asked about changing the positioning that's "baked" in the mkv. As said before, the BD subs are images, so items can have different positions on the screen and different colors (denoting the actor currently speaking), all of which will be lost when converting to text-based S...
