Quick Q re: lossless audio on Bluray

Post by smashey »

Hi,
When I use MakeMKV on a Bluray with DTS-HD MA audio, for the main audio I have two tickboxes:
DTS-HD Lossless English
->DTS 3/2+1 English

So if I tick the second option only, I just get the 1500kbps DTS core.

What happens if I tick both boxes?

Do I get one track that has both the lossy core and lossless component, and a second track that has just the lossy core again? (ie - is it saving the lossy DTS core twice and wasting space)?

And what happens if I just tick the Lossless English box, my understanding is that the lossless component needs the lossy core in order to work.

Thanks
Romansh
