![]() ![]() 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. If you're converting to MKV, you can add both channels in and it'll let you decide at playback which audio channels to use. If you only want 2 channel audio 256Kbps should be more than sufficient. Anything over 318Kbps will be quality enough for most people. The bitrate is high but it essentially runs the audio at whatever bitrate the 6 channels combined are natively. I find that audio is a huge problem with default settings, as it's heavily compressed and only 2 channel, so I have switched to using AC3 5.1 at 640Kbps. You'll likely want to use H.264 as this is one of the most widely used encoding format and will less often require the server to transcode. I use constant quality between 20-22, using original source. I use H.265 instead of H.264 which is a slightly more compressed file with more CPU usage on the server (or whatever plays it locally), but the slightly smaller file size is more important to me. You could realistically convert them to M4V as well and get target filesizes of 4-7GB depending on the length and quality of the movie, but by using MakeMKV to rip then directly converting to your final container and encoding format you get better quality with finer control. It sounds like you're converting from BDMV to MKV to M4V, which may cause some quality loss. I use MakeMKV to save the unencrypted BDMV folders to the local filesystem then use Handbrake (Or rather VidCoder, a batch wrapper for handbrake) to convert them to MKV. 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.
