Can I from the command prompt select the soundtrack

#1 Post by Martin_Andersen » Tue Jun 18, 2013 11:56 am

I always go for the best sound quality, so I just want DTS, TrueHd and so on.
Can I get the available audio formats in a file?

Is there a way to get information about tacks and available audio formats?

I am used to the GUI but are now moving to debian (OpenMediaVault) And I want to rip blu-rays like I used to only the main movie and the best sounding soundtrack

I've just asked a similar question regarding selecting a particular audio track, the post is waiting on approval.

You can get the information from a file using something like

Code: Select all

SERVER$makemkvcon info file:/source/
but it depends on whether your doing this from a disk, image or file.

Just bash makemkvcon at the prompt to bring up the following help

Code: Select all

Use: makemkvcon [switches] Command [Parameters]

Commands:
  info <source>
      prints info about disc
  mkv <source> <title id> <destination folder>
      saves a single title to mkv file
  stream <source>
      starts streaming server
  backup <source> <destination folder>
      backs up disc to a hard drive

Source specification:
  iso:<FileName>    - open iso image <FileName>
  file:<FolderName> - open files in folder <FolderName>
  disc:<DiscId>     - open disc with id <DiscId> (see list Command)
  dev:<DeviceName>  - open disc with OS device name <DeviceName>
