Re: TrueHD and HD Master audio advice

I just purchased the latest version of PowerDVD Ultra 13. (You can find people just selling the FULLY legal license keys on Ebay for cheap). It includes native support for Dolby HD audio streams and seems to work well. It has a little bigger footprint than VLC, but the native HD audio decoding in Po...

Re: TrueHD and HD Master audio advice

Setting default tracks for subtitles and audio

Is there a way to set a default audio and default subtitle track in makemkv without having to use mkvtoolnix on all my rips? When I rip English subtitles, I always have to change the default subtitle flag(s) to "no" so they don't turn on automatically in vlc. It's not a major problem...it ...

TrueHD and HD Master audio advice

I started my makemkv project this week. During my 3 days of testing with VLC player I have figured out some issues with trueHD and HD Master audio.

Re: Forced subtitles not marked as such

When is this going to be out of BETA?

I am looking to purchase this software and am wondering an approximate "go live" date. How much more development is necessary to get this out of beta status?
