Blu-ray/DVD: Adding the Correct Audio Track
When you have a Blu-ray or DVD that doesn't contain the correct audio track, you might want to add an audio track to the disc. One solution is to rip the disc and then add the audio track during the ripping process. This article will provide a detailed guide on how to do this.
Ripping a Blu-ray/DVD
The first step is to rip the Blu-ray/DVD to your computer. There are many tools available for this, but one of the most popular is HandBrake. HandBrake is a free, open-source tool that can rip Blu-rays and DVDs to a variety of formats.
To rip a disc with HandBrake, insert the disc into your computer and open HandBrake. Then, select the disc from the source dropdown and choose a destination for the ripped file. Next, select the format you want to use for the rip. For most users, the Matroska (MKV) format will be the best choice.
Once you have selected the source, destination, and format, click the Start button to begin the rip. The time it takes to rip a disc will vary depending on the size of the disc and the speed of your computer.
Adding an Audio Track
After you have ripped the disc, the next step is to add the audio track. This can be done using a tool called MakeMKV. MakeMKV is a free, open-source tool that can add audio tracks to MKV files.
To add an audio track with MakeMKV, open the program and select the MKV file you created with HandBrake. Then, click the Add Track button and select the audio track you want to add. Finally, click the Make MKV button to add the audio track to the file.
Playing the Ripped File
After you have added the audio track, you can play the ripped file using a media player such as VLC. VLC is a free, open-source media player that can play a wide variety of file formats, including MKV.
