How to fix Atmos Rips mistake?
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2022 1:24 am
Through trial and error I have pinpointed my problem to be mkv files with Atmos tracks.
I have ripped my 4K Blu Rays (which I still own) to my NAS for use with a Plex server. Problem is, I tried to save some space by only ripping the main Atmos track (I did not rip the sub audio track(s) or non-Atmos tracks). As such, only my Nvidia Shield Pro plays back these Atmos mkv files. I have several Chromecast with Google TV devices I put in the bedrooms which will not play back these files, nor will my brand new AppleTV 4K (latest version bought last week), nor my 1 Roku based TCL TV.
Other than re-ripping all my discs (including video), what are my options? Is there a way just to re-rip the non-atmos audio track(s) and remux those files into the existing giant mkv files without having to re-rip 30-70 GBs of video tracks too? Or alternatively, is there a way to use my existing .mkv files to extract the atmos track and re-encode as a normal, secondary 7.1, 5.1 true HD, dolby digital or DTS tracks that the Chromecast with GoogleTV, AppleTV, and Roku TV devices can play back?
I have a thunderbolt connection between my NAS and PC, so I think remuxing the audio from the existing MKV files would be the fastest approach if it is possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated...
