I would hope it works for surround but cannot verify it personally. I don't have surround so I've only been doing this with discs that have lossless stereo. (I guess DVDAE sometimes save you the trouble of doing that.) Once the mkv is converted to individual flac files I go on to the task of typing out all titles and album name. This will give each chapter a unique name when converting to flac, assuming that tracknumber is part of your file naming scheme. Unfortunately the mkv title tracklist comes out as all identically named tracks and with no tracknumbers.Īt this point if you were to convert them all, each chapter would wind up with the same name so I use the masstagger plugin in foobar2000 to autonumber the chapters. Usually each chapter represents a song in a concert disc, for example. It will show the audio broken down as individual chapters for that mkv title. Then you drag the resulting mkv file into foobar2000. To be safe I usually only select the one audio track I want and leave all other audio tracks unchecked. When you do this MakeMKV flags the lossless audio track(s).

In MakeMKV, you need to save your mkv file with the FLAC profile (drop down menu under the 'Make MKV' button, in expert mode).

If it works for you it may save you having to backup the entire disc - you can simply pick individual titles of interest. I've had trouble on my Windows 10 machine trying to run DVDAE so I've found a method to bypass it by using MakeMKV and foobar2000.
