![]() I also might need to use MP4Tools in addition to Subler because subler can't encode DTS 5.1 to AC3 5.1 which is sometime necessary as files only have DTS tracks sometimes and MP4/M4V doesn't support DTS natively. Again, I'm remuxing so I'm not actually converting any video. I then use a program called Subler, similar to XMedia Recode, to remux that file into an M4V file with AAC+AC3 5.1 passthrough audio. If I did rip my own Blurays/DVDs often, I'd use MakeMKV+Handbrake combo. I always grab a file that has AC3 5.1 over DTS over AAC 5.1. I grab MKV files from elsewhere that are 1080p and usually 5-8GB in size. To be honest my workflow is very different because I'm on primarily on Mac and I don't acquire my movies from Bluray or DVD. I know that's a lot of info but I hope it helps and clarifies some things. I haven't used this so I can't comment on the results. Xmedia should be able to make the file in something around 5 minutes depending on your CPU.ĮDIT NOTE: XMedia Recode apparently has the ability to rip audio directly from a disc, potentially bypassing step 1. The resulting file from Xmedia Recode will be a copy of the video track from the original movie file, the audio will be from the new rip you made, and no time is spent encoding video, so it takes much less time. After you import it, it should appear in the 'Source' Box, where you can then make the output the AAC+AC3 5.1 passthrough options previously discussed. Add the new MKV that you just made with MakeMKV that contains just the audio track. XMedia Recode- Open up your original AAC 5.1 movie in XMedia Recode. Sometimes multiple audio tracks in the same language, but in different formats will be available. MakeMKV - use to only rip desired language audio tracks from disc. That will burn the forced subtitle track into the video when it's encoded. Select the forced subtitle or foreign audio only subtitle track and check the box that says "Burned In". I prefer the AppleTV3 preset for various reasons. Grab all the subtitle tracks from desired languages to be safe. MakeMKV - make copy of disc with a video track, desired language audio track (ac3 over dts if the disc contains both), desired language subtitle tracks. My workflow for movies with forced subtitles for foreign audio. Is it the equivalent to MakeMKV(makes DRM free, 1:1 copy of DVD/bluray in MKV container) or is it the equivalent to handbrake(re-encodes video and audio)? Or does it do both? Anyways. I'm not familiar with DVDfab so I can't comment. That way the subtitles for foreign parts are just part of the video itself, they don't have to be turned on or off. Plex will still have to transcode video to display them regardless of container however.īecause of all this I suggest burning the forced subtitles into the video at the time your encoding the video to a smaller size. For forced soft-coded subtitle tracks, and for subtitle support in general, MKV is a better container than MP4/M4V. To further add to that, Plex is usually forced to transcode the video, regardless of direct play/stream compatibility, to display soft-coded subtitles. My parents watched Season 1 of Game of Thrones without Dothraki subs because this issue, they didn't realize you had to turn them on manually lol. For instance even if the subtitle track is marked as forced, they won't be displayed automatically in most players, including Plex. The MP4/M4V container has issues with forced soft-coded subtitles. I used handbrake on some of my earlier rips and the file sizes were larger than the results from MKVtoMP4 and personally I didn't think the quality was as good. Whats the best way to get MKVs to M4V for plex? I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening or has a recommendation for an alternative tool for the conversion. The MKV files are perfect all the way through so I know the issue is with the conversion. Some movies have issues with a consistent desync of the audio and video at the same point in the movie no matter how many times I run it through MKVtoMP4. ![]() The Blurays have been giving me some trouble though. The DVDs have been coming out flawlessly with a great quality result. I then use MKVtoMP4 to rencode them to M4V. ![]() ![]() I have been using MakeMKV to create MKV files from my DVDs and Blurays. I have been having some issues with the final M4V results. I have been working through ripping my collection of movies to get them all setup on my new Plex setup. ![]()
