When I rip a Blu-ray with lossless audio (DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD) I generally want to extract only that lossless audio track and not the lossy "core" that it contains. MakeMKV's default is to extract both the lossless and the lossy as separate tracks, so for discs with many titles I have to step through them all and deselect the lossy audio individually for each.

A very useful feature and one that would save a lot of time would be an option to automatically deselect the lossy portion whenever lossless audio is present.

MakeMKV Preferences > General tab > Expert mode (exposes the Advanced tab)

For example, my rule looks like this (entered on the Advanced tab):

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang

I choose ALL tracks in my preferred language. You'll need to tweak yours per the guide.

Thanks very much, I was unaware of this. I'll play with it.

I revised your setting (which seems to be the out-of-the-box default) to this:

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:core,-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang

and it does just what I want. Thanks again.

It was a fresh install, so I'm not surprised. Thanks for the reminder to finish transferring settings.

Happy to help.

As I understand it, Dolby TrueHD doesn't have an accessible core the way DTS-HD MA does.

I know if I only rip the lossless track, on playback with Emby my LG TV has to re-encode the audio for TrueHD but can direct play the DTS core.

MakeMKV will usually pull the core out of a TrueHD track as a separate AC3 track. At least, that's what handbrake sees when I go to encode a title with TrueHD tracks.

Yes, but the OP in this thread is asking how to make it not do that.
