Effective naming & audio selection

Post by DJ155 »

Hi... Fairly new to makemkv...
I'm on windows 10 x64..

If I'm dealing with blu ray tv shows titles...

Is there an easy way to make the output.mkv reflect the mpls per episode?
So if eg:10234, 00800 00002 are the appropriate playlists... Have those as the filenames.

Also is there an easy way to automatically select dts-ma 5.1 or 7.1 eng track by default?

Cheers.

Right now, the automatic output file naming is not so flexible. Manual changes are simple with expert mode, though, especially if you know how to use copy/paste on the keyboard. http://makemkv.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16405

Audio tracks - I configured my system to grab ALL audio (and subtitle) tracks, regardless of language, because I sort them out later when I process the files with handbrake. Sometimes, the automatic selection process will grab the "wrong" track, if a disk is authored in a weird way, such as the main audio is 2-channel stereo, and there is a 5.1 channel commentary track.

There are several topics in the "Advanced" section of the forum on how to configure your selection options, but you have to have expert mode enabled to do any of them.
