Hello,

I am have a few (beginner) questions before I embark on the Blu-Ray ripping (using Lite-On iHOS104-08). I'm currently using Plex on a Mac Mini as a home-theater PC, but would also like it if the WDTV could play the file. I'm looking to rip movie-only with chapter support.

1. Will MakeMKV rip movie-only with chapter support?
2. What audio must I choose to work with the computer/WDTV?
3. Do subtitles work?

I'm sorry to ask all these questions, but I've yet to receive the Blu-Ray drive. I'm just trying to be prepared.

Thank you all!

1. Yes
2. The WDTV (v1 original) can only handle Dolby AC3 audio downmix, there is no DTS downmix support but you can passthru AC3/DTS to an amp. The WDTV Live/Hub/v2 support downmix on AC3/DTS and can passthru AC3/DTS/TrueHD to an amp, DTS-MA is not supported for passthru.
3. That is dependent on the media player.

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm not overly concerned with lossless audio. Doesn't every Blu-Ray have basic Dolby Digital as an option? If so, I'd be content using that.
