MKV audio only possible?

[Glenmorangie]

Dear all,

one question from a beginner: just read in several boards about MakeMKV and what I need as a tool:
I want to extract the DTS HD music quality our of my BluRays and store this quality in MKV files which are using FLAC as music codec.
I do not want to have any video in the MKV file to have a smaller file.

So for me the MKV container would only be the "transporter" for the Hi-Res FLAC data.

Is this possible? If yes how?
At the moment I select only the DTS stream (no video) and the FLAC profile. When pressing the button I get the message: no data selected...

Looking forward to your answers

I suspect that the issue is that MakeMKV is assuming that, since you're using Matroska video format file, you would want the video...

You can let MakeMKV create the MKV file, then use tools like mkvmerge to extract just the track(s) you want into your "final" file.

Thanks Woodstock,

wonderful idea!
I used MKVMerge in the past to bring sound and image together so I gave it a try and it worked perfectly!!!
MKV Container is now "small" and still playable...

THX for your help
