I have been using makemkv for a while, purchased it a year or so ago and I like it very much, but just registered to ask this question.
If a title has a 5.1 soundtrack, then all other soundtracks (commentaries, isolated score, etc etc) are automatically deselected.
I have lost track of the number of titles I have had to do again because I didn't expand the title to check and tick the other tracks.
I really really hope there's some preference I can set that I'm stupidly missing to change this behaviour

Because it's INCREDIBLY annoying!!!

Cheers, Steve

Yes, it can be annoying. And yes, it can be changed, if you are in "Expert mode" (Preferences->General).

With Expert mode enabled, you will have a new tab, "Advanced". Two ways then control what is selected by default... "Default selection rule" on the Preferences->Advanced tab, or profiles.

My usual profile contains this for the selection rule:

Code: Select all

    <!-- Settings overridable in preferences -->
    <profileSettings
        app_DefaultSelectionString="-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang"
    />

This selects all audio tracks for inclusion. Since I don't have a favorite language, it does not discriminate based upon language.

For more information on profiles, I recommend reading the messages in the "Advanced MakeMKV usage" section of the forum.
