Hi, I noticed this was mentioned in another Frozen 2 thread but still have not seen a resolution, so I'm starting a new thread.
Ripping a Frozen 2 (Frozen II) blu-ray, and regardless of which movie file I use, there is a voiceover present in the DD stereo track. I have viewed the .mkv movie with Windows media player and VLC, and it's still there.
I can't figure out how to deactivate it for the DD Stereo track. The reason this is important is because when I covert the .mkv movie to a smaller .mp4 file for mobile devices, it will be using the stereo sound track and I don't want a voiceover.
Since several people have noticed this, too, has anyone found a fix?

Re: Frozen 2
When you expand a title and look at the available audio tracks to rip, MakeMKV is showing you the audio tracks that are on the disc, it's not giving you options about how to rip it. This means you need to know what's on the disc. Most Blu-rays will tell you the included audio tracks on the back cover (and this will usually be correct). Blu-ray.com is another reference for looking up releases and information. Most Blu-rays of modern movies do not contain Stereo audio for the primary audio. Stereo audio is often used for commentary tracks, or descriptive audio for the blind (although descriptive audio can often be 5.1 as well).
The primary audio track on this disc is probably DTS-HD MA 7.1, that's the track you need to select and rip.
If you're processing the MKV afterward (with Handbrake, for example), you can have your conversion software down-mix it to a Stereo track. MakeMKV also has a down-mix feature:

For each audio track you will have an option to save the original AND/OR stereo copy. And you can do this for already existing MKV file, just open the MKV file in MakeMKV.

Re: Frozen 2
Thank you for the input and advice! I was not aware that MakeMKV had a down-mix function--that's actually pretty cool. I've seen that setting but never looked up what it was for.
On a side note, I have to disagree with you when you state, "Most Blu-rays of modern movies do not contain Stereo audio for the primary audio. Stereo audio is often used for commentary tracks..." I have ripped 100s of blu-rays and this is the first one I have come across where there the audio commentary is on the main stereo track. When there is commentary it is almost always on an additional stereo track.
Regardless, thank you for excellent post. Have a Happy New Year!
