Why DD 2/0 audio listed twice?

#1 Post by Cheddar » Sat Jul 13, 2013 10:11 am

For all my TV series DVDs, DD 2/0 is listed twice. I know the second one is for Commentary but some episodes don't have Commentary and it's still listed. What is the difference?

It depends on how the disc is mastered.

Since there is most likely a "Play All" feature, some times when these are mastered they include a blank track to fill in a for the missing commentary track that might not be in every episode.

What Smithcraft said.

Wait until you find a disk mastered with a stereo audio track but 5.1 audio for the commentary, and MakeMKV chooses the higher-quality by default!
