How to Auto-deselect specific audio format (LPCM)?

[Marc_G]

Hi folks,

My audio setup is an older one and handles DD and DTS but not LPCM. This caused trouble recently for me when ripping LOST Bluray edition season 3, which has LPCM as the first audio track. My MakeMKV rips had both LPCM and DD, but since I play them in Windows Media Center which has no native way to switch from one audio track to the other (at least, that I'm aware of), I was faced with re-ripping the set after manually deselecting LPCM for each title, or (more annoying) remuxing them with MKVMergeGUI and eliminating the LPCM track.

What I'd prefer is a setting somewhere that causes MakeMKV to by default not include any LPCM track. Is there a setting for this that I just haven't found yet? Maybe something I can do in the Advanced settings with a rule in there?

Thanks for your help.

This may be a start: Changing track order in output file

Also, I haven't tried it, but you may be able to combine these two to deselect a specific codec:

Changing default track selection
Conversion profiles

Hmm. Good stuff in there. Looks like I may be able to set in something like:
-sel:LPCM-multi

...into the selection rules. I'll have to give it a whirl tonight.

Hmmm. No joy. I tried adding it into the end of the profile using advanced mode:

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:(havemulti|havecore),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang,-sel:LPCM-multi

And it gave me an error (well, many errors all identical):

Profile parsing error: Invalid token '-sel:LPCM-multi'

I thought I had it right. Can someone more experienced with profile editing help correct me?

Thanks!

Code: Select all

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:(havemulti|havecore),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang,-sel:lossless
