Rip DTS-HD track on Blu-ray to FLAC 5.1 audio for playback using Plex

Q: “Has anyone else been ripping 5.1 DTS-HD audio from Blurays using the FLAC option in MakeMKV? As DTS-HD seems to be completely useless if you own a Mac, I thought I would try to rip lossless audio from a Blu-ray using the FLAC option in MakeMKV. My Mac is connected to the AV receiver via an optical cable and when playing the file back via Plex it did produce multichannel sound but my AV receiver seemed to think it was decoding Dolby Digital (?) Thanks.”

Part I: How to Freely Converting Blu-ray HD audio to FLAC 5.1 audio

As I mentioned in my first look at ripping Blu-rays, converting uncompressed PCM and lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to FLAC with 5.1 audio for use in Plex carries a number of benefits. 
  • It's also lossless, so no quality difference.
  • FLAC is an open, well-documented format and so you're not reliant on reverse-engineered implementations.
  • XBMC can decode FLAC to PCM and output it over HDMI, whereas it currently can't for DTS-HD.
  • Hard drive space savings can be significant, especially for PCM soundtracks.
There's little penalty in terms of the time taken to rip the disc either, as it's unlikely that your BD drive can copy data from the disc fast enough for the conversion process to become a bottleneck.What you need: This process still uses MakeMKV, with the feature enabled in by checking the advanced options box in the settings. TrueHD decoding is built in, but you'll need to find a separate DTS module and point MakeMKV to that. All you then need to do it choose the ‘FLAC’ preset when ripping a disc. Otherwise the process is identical.

Part II: Use Top Blu-ray Audio to FLAC Ripper for Plex to Convert a pure audio Blu-ray Audio to FLAC audio files with 5.1 audio on Mac

To extract Blu-ray discs to Plex accepted FLAC audio files on Mac, you could use Pavtube ByteCopy for Mac which is an effective Mac Blu-ray Audio Converter that could Convert Blu-ray music to lossless FLAC 5.1 audio format.

Plex AVI Issues- How to Add AVI files to Plex Media Sever

Q: “ I have a bunch of home movies that I ripped off my Panasonic mini DV camcorder. They are all AVI files and play fine in the Plex player on my desktop. However, I get an error when I try to play them on my cell phone and the video is scrambled (audio works fine), when I try to send it to Chrome cast. I converted some of the movies to MPEG4 and they work perfectly. Every other video file (including other AVI) work fine with my Plex and Chrome cast. I read that it may be the codec that is causing the issue. Is there way to fix this video to work with Chrome cast other than reformatting each video? Thanks in advance.”
