Renaming Audio & Subtitle Tracks...

I recently learned that I can rename an audio track via MKVToolNix however it takes a while to re-write a 30GB movie for this simple edit. Is there not a way to edit this resource in an easier way? Typically, I just want to name an audio track, changing from "Stereo" to "Commentary&qu...

Apple TV 4k Not DTS Compatible?

I noticed on my Plex dashboard that my direct play raw MKV or HB_H.264 or HB H.265 content is being transcoded to another format for my Apple TV 4K. So, what are people doing that allow the full uncompressed audio (DTS-HD MA) to make it to my Pioneer SC-55 AVR?

Thanks,

Robert

Keep DTS-HD MA Only?

On many BD rips I see that the best audio track is "DTS-HD MA" and it seems that this is the only track I need since Plex seems to transcode as needed to my iPhone and Apple TV 4K as well. So Typically I see: Track 1: DTS-HD MA Track 2: DTS Track 3: AC-3 (DD Surround) Track 4: Stereo (Comm...

Getting Faster Blu Ray RIPS

I'm looking for a way to accelerate RIP times. It seems like some discs take twice as long as others. And of course if there are 100 obfuscated main titles you might choose to backup the disc as an interim step. I use a recent iMac and the RIP speed to a network volume (over wifi) seems no slower th...

The Counselor (2013), Which Playlist?

It looks like there are just two possibilities for this disc that contains just the Theatrical release.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Original RAW MKV vs. Handbrake Recompression?

How many of you are keeping all of your Blu Ray rips in their original form (full quality, original compression) and not recompressing with Handbrake? Do you see or hear a real quality difference via Plex? In recent history, I've been ripping my collection without recompression, preserving all possi...

Re: Correct MKV segment map for SPY

Actually, are they not both valid? I think there is a theatrical release and the Extended version... Yes?

Also, did you notice that the BD menu did not show ANY extras but they were on the disc, did I miss something? Have you seen it before like this?

Re: Which Mac Blu-ray Player Software?

Don't you have a software player so that you can review the disc without the disc loaded?

BTW: my retail copy of Let's Be Cops does not show extras via hardware BD player.... but MakeMKV did reveal Special Features. Have you seen that before?

Thanks
