Hello,
I'm ripping Sharknado 4 and I'm getting no audio after ripping due to an Undetermined Audio Language. After MakeMKV scans the Blu Ray disc I see that the Language is not found. I found an post from 2009, but it didn't say if it was fixed. I'm not able to get any audio using AnyDVD 16, but can get audio in VLC. Any help would be appreciated.

Undetermined Audio Language
Re: Undetermined Audio Language
Do you have a preferred language set up in MakeMKV? If so, it will not automatically select languages other than that language.
However, if you expand the title information (click on the triangle next to the title in the left window), you should be able to manually select any track, including ones with indeterminate language information.
Of course, this assumes you have "Expert mode" enabled in Preferences->General.

Re: Undetermined Audio Language
Thanks for your reply,
I did have the preferred language set, so I changed them back to 'Auto' and 'None', restarted the app and it still shows undetermined for DTA-HD MA Surround 5.1 and DTS Surround 5.1, but this time they were checked. Tried to rip again, and still no sound in anything other than VLC. Expert mode is enabled.

Re: Undetermined Audio Language
MakeMKV will not add language information to the audio track for you - if your playback software has a language preference set, it will ignore the unknown language.
Tools like mkvmerge can change the language information on tracks. I'm certain that there are ones that will do it without copying the file to a new one, as well, but I haven't worried about it.

Re: Undetermined Audio Language
Thanks for you help. I was able to set the language information in mkvmerge from undetermined to English and export the file and it worked.

Re: Undetermined Audio Language
Is there a rule that selects "Undetermined" languages? I tried this, but it does not work:
EDIT: Ok solved it by using the "single" parameter:
Code: Select all
-sel:all,+sel:(ger|eng|tur|nolang|undetermined),-sel:(core),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:ger,+sel:attachment
Code: Select all
-sel:all,+sel:(ger|eng|tur|nolang|single),-sel:(core),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:ger,+sel:attachment
Re: Undetermined Audio Language
For me it works with "nolang" as described in the documentation.
What should "single" select? Don't think that this stands for "undefined language". Sure that this is a valid parameter?

Good Luck

Re: Undetermined Audio Language
"nolang" did not work for me. I had problems with the Blu-Rays of "Eine fröhliche Familie" and "Georgie":
I think its because the language is set to "Undetermined" and not to an empty string.
EDIT: Ah ok, regarding MKVToolNix the "language" is "und": So this should work, too
Code: Select all
-sel:all,+sel:(ger|eng|tur|nolang|und),-sel:(core),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:ger,+sel:attachment

Its not documented, but it works. "single" seems to mean "Select audio track, if only one exists". "single" should be part of the default rule:What should "single" select? Don't think that this stands for "undefined language". Sure that this is a valid parameter?

EDIT3: This is my final rule, now:
Code: Select all
-sel:all,+sel:(ger|eng|tur|und|nolang|single),-sel:(core),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:ger,+sel:attachment
