Can DTS-MA soundtracks be automatically selected?

Post by dmoor1 »

When I'm doing a title extraction to .mkv, when I click on the expansion triangle for a title the DTS-MA soundtrack is not automatically selected. I have to go through each title, open the title details, and check the box. If a movie has 30 titles this is a non-trivial process.

Can the DTS-MA soundtracks be automatically selected, or an option to make it do so?

MakeMKV has a "default selection rule" for audio. You won't see it unless you have "Expert Mode" enabled (Preferences->General), at which point it will appear on the "Advanced" tab of preferences.

This rule can also be set in a profile... which you still have to enable Expert mode to use.

For my selection rule, I use:

Code: Select all

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang
Since I don't have a "favlang" selected, this essentially selects ALL audio and subtitle tracks, leaving out any MVC 3D video track by default.

I later sort out which tracks I really want when I get to encoding the MKV file with handbrake.
