Peppers will have both dts-ma and TrueHD so you'll be able to extract the high resolution lossless whether you upgrade or not.

Have completely sussed this out now and wanted to pass it on, all freeware. 1) Use MakeMKV and back up your Blu-ray disc 2) Use Audiomuxer, select Tools > Extract Audio From Blu-ray (navigate into the Blu-ray back up's BDMV folder > PLAYLIST folder > select the first .mpls file and see if it has the running time and audio tracks of the main feature, if not open the 2nd one, etc., until you find the main movie's playlist. 3) Select the dts-ma file and select "Load In AudioMuxer And Split In Chapters" and also check "Export to FLAC" - press EXTRACT 4) Tag your files using AudioMuxer's prompt 5) Manually rename your .flac files once it's completed, the metadata will already be correct including tags and the files will be properly chaptered instead of one big long file. AudioMuxer's free download already includes all the plugins including a proper dts-ma decoder and MKVextract/merge, etc. Easy two step solution doesn't require any eac3to CMD prompt knowledge. If you choose to back up your Blu-ray as an .mkv file using MakeMKV, simply select Extract Audio from MKV/MKA file instead. Of course for TrueHD and LPCM just use DVDAE on the MakeMKV back-up.

Is there a way to get it to do the chapters automatically? Here's an example, I've ripped Dire Straits Alchemy as a full backup using MKV, I'm now using HDBRSe and have selected the title I know is the main movie (24GB) and have selected 1) Chapters as txt and 4) DTS Master Audio extract as wav and it looks like it's extracting as just a single wave file. What comes next?

Topping this thread as I think it's relevant - Audio Fidelity has licensed the original 1/2" 30ips analogue stereo master tapes for a Hybrid SACD release of this album. What a 180 degree turn from the horrid mess that the XX remastering resulted in. The original US vinyl release was the only all analogue cutting of this album, but as good as it sounds (and the original CD too) at 26 mins/side you can't help but wonder what was left on the table...plus there is still some limiting on that original CD mastering. I'm guessing the new AF SACD will answer that question, day one pre-order for me. http://www.amazon.com/Rage-Against-Machine/dp/B01EMP3V5Y/ Also agree with Mr. Diament about influence, and surprised to read someone else mentioning Jensen as only applying punch to the drums...no shortage of titles with over-zealous dynamic range compression to his name.

Ted if you can take a moment to go over the process used I'd appreciate it. I downloaded the .zip of the eac3to from the first link in Madshi's linked post, I'm on W7-PROx64 so my .Net is already 4.0 and 4.5 installed, don't care about WMA, then downloaded and installed the .zip from MuteyM's first post which is HDConcertRipper 1.4.2 I have the dtsdecoder.dll from a trial of ArcSoft, how do I "register" that with HDConcertRipper? Or is it automatic as soon as you copy that .dll into the HDConcertRipper folder?

Reading the last post on this thread, do you find any issues with HD Concert Ripper? HDConcertRipper - eac3to GUI - Page 2 - Doom9's Forum Seems odd someone would have trouble extracting PCM if they have no issues with dts-ma now.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. I have some stereo discs to check too so I didn't mean only MCH as the process will be the same. Foobar with the plug-in will do 5.1 PCM the same as it does 2.0 PCM.

Boris I need some help on the DR logs for Blu-ray. Let's say you're using a Blu-ray that isn't audio-only like the HFPA discs but perhaps "Nonsuch" from XTC and you want to get the DR logs for the new 5.1 PCM mix Steven Wilson did. How do you do it? I can't for the life of me figure out how to extract just 5.1 (or higher) PCM audio (or dts) from a Blu-ray, I have no problem backing up the Blu-ray using DVDFab. Thanks for any help you can offer.
