![]() ![]() If I want to play something "everywhere", I run it through handbrake (from ) with a special "compatibility" preset I built that does OK with most platforms, but isn't optimized for any of them. The free player VLC does not have problems with MKV video (at least on the platforms I've used it on, Windows, OS X, and Android), but a lot of others do. But, the solutions aren't always where we think to look first. You aren't the only one that has the problem. This allows me to make sure the proper audio and subtitle tracks are "first", because the player software doesn't make good choices all the time. I do this because everything goes through handbrake () after MakeMKV rips the disk, before it goes onto the media server. You can alter those selection rules to capture "all" audio tracks, then sort them out later. This means you have to manually select the correct tracks. This works fine, most of the time, except when a movie is 1.0 mono or 2.0 stereo, and there is a 5.1 commentary track. Lower quality tracks will not be selected by default. The "default selection filter" in MakeMKV selects the highest-quality track in a given language, so priority is give to 7.1, 5.1, etc., down to 1 track. Or you can enable a conversion filter in MakeMKV to convert tracks to a more playable format.Īs for "missing" tracks. You can use other tools to change that order to make sure the "most playable" track comes first. That means the first track found will be the "default" used by most player software and hardware. If you have manually selected the audio tracks, and have NOT set up a conversion filter (requires use of Expert mode and editing of XML files), the tracks are copied through from the DVD or BD to the MKV file unaltered, and in the same order they were on the DVD or BD. And other applications that will not give you the choice of audio tracks when there are multiples available. And some applications do not have the ability to play some audio tracks, instead relying upon attached hardware (like a home theater amplifier) to play the audio. There are a lot of tools that do not properly report 7.1 audio, showing it as "5.1" instead. I did not have any sound problems or sound mismatches with DVDs so this seems to be a BluRay only bug. ![]() Now clearly the English track is there because PowerDVD works fine, but why is the Japanese track being copied when I unselected (Japanese, Spanish, and French)? And why is the Windows 10 DVD player not seeing the English track when PowerDVD 13 can? The only difference was the first Hobbit Movie did not have 7.1 sound, so it could have something to do with that. The first move I did had the English sound track but not on the second Hobbit movie where I got Japanese and the commentary tracks again. I also tried 2 other BluRay disks, first 2 Hobbit extended Movies, and got different results. I did have Japanese, Spanish, and the commentary (but French was missing). I then started over and didn’t unselect anything, but there was still no English track. I then switched to each sound title and found that: title 0 and 1 had no sound, title 2 was Japanese (which I did not select), and title 4 had the English commentary track. The PowerDVD 13 played the move in English but when I use the Windows 10 DVD player there is no sound. I then tried playing the movie using two DVD players, windows 10 DVD player and PowerDVD 13. ![]() and selected English and English subtitles and then ran the software. I unselect everything and then select all the sound modes 7.1, 5.1, DD, etc. However the software appears to have bugs copying the right sound tracks. I download and started to play with the makemkv software this weekend to see if I wanted to buy the makemkv HD version to save my BluRay disks to PC. ![]()
