Re: Multiple Audio Tracks

M, yeah, in that situation it'd make sense to extract the core while doing initial backup. I watch local offline files, so I just do a quick remux if I need to toss the lossless extension (it's fast on an internal SSD).

But do you know if you can create an ISO file through MakeMKV.
Disc backups of DVDs will create an ISO. For BD and UHD (and maybe HDDVD?), you'll need to put the generated folders from the disc backup into an ISO with another tool, such as AnyBurn.

Re: DTS 6.1 Tracks automatically being downmixed to 5.1

IME (last checked a few months before OP), it doesn't actually convert them; it just writes the wrong metadata because it doesn't recognize DTS-ES Discrete. From my testing, if you use MKVExtract to extract the DTS stream from the MKV, then MKVToolNix-GUI to re-insert the extracted stream, the track...

Re: Multiple Audio Tracks

Example: The 7.1 stream is DTS:X and the playback device supports only Dolby or supports plain DTS but not DTS:X. Having a fallback can be helpful in those situations. Due to how DTS-HD and DTS-X are encoded, you don't need to rip the core separately; the audio stream includes the core, and any pla...

Re: "Time travel" setup?

Bit overkill, innit? It's pretty fast to just set the clock to July 2025, then revert to auto-time afterwards, even if you don't use a script like some people are. You don't have to re-enter the key as long as you don't accidentally open the application before time leaping. (FWIW, I leave the PC in ...

Re: MakeMKV is adding language tags to video streams

Bump. This is still occurring, and is a bit annoying, since it defaults to ENG instead of UND. It'd be nice if there were a UI option to change what it defaults to, since I like to change it to JPN for anime series (which I end up doing one episode at a time).

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 tracks being reported as 5.1

I've noticed this with the DTS cores from the DTS-HD MA tracks on the 2011 BD releases of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, the DTS core from the DTS-HD HR track on the 2007 BD release of Stargate, and the DTS-ES tracks from the 2005 DVD special edition of Ghost in the Shell (or rather, the 2017 rere...
