When ripping UHD Blu-ray discs with both Dolby Vision and HDR10 using MakeMKV, is there a way to force MakeMKV to always keep HDR10 as a fallback track if the Dolby Vision layer is present, and how does this behavior differ between Profile 7 FEL and MEL discs?

You really should ask any DV releated questions in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=18602, however, UHD rips always have HDR10 as fallback. It is not a separate track. HDR10 is part of the main video stream. The DV is a separate track. Therefore, if your player or TV or whatever is not DV capable (or not compatible with the DV profile used) it will play as HDR10.

HDR10 has nothing to do with FEL or MEL. They are the DV enhancement layer types. Please read the thread linked above for a better understanding of DV.
