Audio Overlay on/off

Post by greatgreyowl »

On the Blu-ray disc IT MIGHT GET LOUD, there is an optional audio overlay by the documentarians of the movie. While interesting, I want to get a ripped version without this audio overlay. Every time I try to rip the disc using MakeMV, the resulting file always has this additional audio overlay. Has anyone had any experience with this type of problem and any suggestions on how to rip the disc so I just get the movie audio, and not the audio overlay.

In the left hand window, next to each title, there is a little triangle. Click on it. It will expand the list of components of a title, and you can select/deselect the tracks you want/don't want.

Alternatively, you can have MakeMKV rip EVERYTHING, then make the selection of the tracks you really want (and the order the appear in) with tools like Handbrake (allows you to recode the video to take up less space) or MKVMerge.

Normally, MakeMKV will select the "best" audio track in a given language. Sometimes, that isn't the regular audio track. I have many examples of stereo movie audio with 5.1 commentary tracks, which is why my MakeMKV configuration selects every track by default.

Appreciate the help. Here is my list of audio options for the primary movie before I get to the subtitles:

Audio DTS-HD MA Surround 5.1 English
Audio DTS Surround 5.1 English

Audio DD Surround 5.1 Spanish

Audio DTS-HD MA Surround 5.1 Portugese
Audio DTS Surround 5.1 Portugese

Audio DD Surround 5.1 English

The first rip I did used the DTS-HD MA option. I don't remember whether both the main one and the "indented" option were selected. Last night I ripped a copy using only the DD Surround 5.1 English which does not have an second indented option. Both continue to give me the documentary audio overlay and you lose part of the main movie audio. I am wondering if it has something to do with the "indented" second option under the DTS-HD MA Surround 5.1 English. Should I only choose one of these and if so, which one?

Choose the Audio DTS Surround 5.1 English that is under the Audio DTS-HD MA Surround 5.1 English option.
