HomeMost Blu-ray and DVD ripping tools keep one audio track only, that’s why I turned to Pavtube ByteCopy, which rips BD and DVD to MKV with more than one audio streams and subtitle tracks. The Pavtube ByteCopy not only keeps multiple audio tracks, which is actually the purpose of MKV format, but also lets me to encode audio streams to Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 and AAC 5.1 audio. The software also allows full preservation of High Def audio formats - DTS HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital TrueHD, LPCM 7.1 channels. In the following guide I’d like to share with you how to keep both AC3 5.1 and DTS 5.1 audio when ripping Blu-ray movie to MKV with Pavtube ByteCopy.
