Greetings all ...
I have MakeMKV version 1.8 x64 running on Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
My DVDs, which I am transferring to MKV format, all have Dolby Digital 5.1. Audio.
However, when I open a DVD disc in MakeMKV and click on the down arrow against the Title, no 5.1 option is shown. I am only provided with DD2.0 and DD2.1 options.
After transfer, the files are not unexpectedly reported by my media players to have 2.1 Audio only.
Could someone kindly explain how I can include Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on the MKV files of the DVDs that have 5.1?
I have read about the DTSHDDEC.DLL file and downloaded and installed ArcSoft's TotalMediaTheatre v6, thinking that it was the DTSHDDEC.DLL file which might be missing - however following the installation, no such DTSHDDEC.DLL library was installed anyway. Do I need that library to include the 5.1 Audio? If so where might it be obtained?
It would be excellent if someone could let me know what I need to do to ensure that Dolby 5.1 Audio remains on my video files after conversion ...
Many thanks
Kenneth Spencer

Perhaps you could attach a screenshot showing what options are available for selection?

Re: Audio Dolby 5.1 option is not visible in Title dropdowns
Using version 1.8.0 for Windows, I opened a disk that is labeled as having Dolby 5.1 audio. MakeMKV reports this as "DD 3/2+1 English", 6 channels, 48000 sample rate.
Are you seeing something different when you view the track information?

Thanks Smithc. and Woods. ...
Sorry not to have replied earlier, but time and other things ...
I will post a screen shot of what I see when I pull down the track information. However, I know from memory that I did not see any audio track count nor any audio sample rate. I did see 2.0 on some and 2.1 on others. These were DVDs with DD5.1 encoded.
Since my original posting, however I have been able to get DD5.1 out of a different media player. But I will post a resulting screenshot just as soon as I can.
Many thanks again!
Ken.
