I am trying the used the advanced mode and ffmpeg to convert all DTS-HD MA and True HD soundtracks to LPCM with MakeMKV, but can't for the life of me figure out the correct settings. Anyone else doing this, can you share you settings?

Now, I'm just a fellow user, but why would you want to convert compressed lossless to uncompressed lossless? Why won't flac work?

For processing in other applications (custom downmix, normalization, etc.)?

The reason I am looking for uncompressed LPCM from the lossless soundtracks is I am running a Mac Mini as my HTPC with Plex as a frontend. Unfortunately, at this time OS X does not support True HD and DTS-HD MA. So converting to LPCM would give me the lossless soundtracks for my system.

Since it uses libavcodec, Plex should be able to decode FLAC and TrueHD to LPCM, if configured accordingly.
