Audio dropping on MakeMKV rips, but not from DVDFab...

[jfoughe]

I'm experiencing a new issue in which 4k UHD rips from MakeMKV randomly drop audio during playback, but not with rips from DVDFab. Both rips are on my NAS uncompressed, playing back with Plex on an Apple TV. The issue follows when playing back on multiple devices. Any ideas what's happening here?

Here's my specs:

Ripping on Mac mini M1 running 12.6.2, using MakeMKV 1.17.2
Playing back on Plex, version 1.30.0.6486-7000 on my NAS, and version 8.13 on Apple TV. Apple TV is running tvOS 16.2.

There's a tool called MediaInfo. You can install it via Homebrew on your Mac if you're inclined that way.

What does MediaInfo show for both the file created with MakeMKV and the created with DVDFab?
