Encoding Blu-ray to TrueHD 7.1 MKV using Handbrake alternative with No ErrorProblems of encoding a TrueHD 7.1 MKV with Handbrake

HandBrake is an open-source and multiplatform video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. On the one hand, it claims to convert video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs. However many users noticed a problem when using Handbrake to convert Blu-ray to MKV format, that is -Handbrake can’t pass-through 7.1 TrueHD. Below we will have a look at the typical cases of Handbrake errors and give you the best solution. 

 

Case 1: 

Hi folks. Was wondering if there were any free options available for converting my blu ray rips in a way that will keep the TrueHD audio tracks to passthrough to my AVR? Right now I”m using DVDFab’s HD Decrypter to rip and Handbrake to convert to MKV and that works great for DTS-HD and all other audio tracks but since Handbrake doesn’t support TrueHD I was trying to figure out if there’s something else I can use? 

Case 2: 

Why can’t Handbrake passthrough a TrueHD audio, like it can a DTS-MA 7.1? Currently I have to encode with Handbrake, use ClownBD to extract the core AC3 from the TrueHD file. Then use MKV tools to extract the TrueHD audio from the source, then put it in (mux) my encoded MKV along with the ClownBD extracted AC3 core. Any easy way? 

Go through Handbrake forum and find more than one guys complained the Handbrake encoding TrueHD 7.1 MKV issues. Of course, some possible solutions are suggested by tech supporters. 

Solution 1: If you want to keep all the audio track, MakeMKV can remove protection from the Blu-ray source and allows you to repackage it unmolested back into an mkv container with TrueHD 7.1 preserving.

I’ve tried the solution, but it’s a bit complex and time-consuming, the final video is not so satisfactory, and sometimes crashes.
