Blu-ray comes with lossless audio quality and there are mainly three lossless audio codecs used in Blu-ray disc: PCM, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA. Earlier Blu-ray Discs save audio in Dolby Digital and DTS codec, most recent Blu-ray movies usually comes with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA audio tracks to deliver higher quality audio with 7.1 channels.

Here comes a 7.1 surround sound Audio Stream Compatibility Issue:

“I need a Blu-ray Ripper product that supports 7.1 surround 8-channel THD and DTS-HD MA audio streams. I have tried some Blu-ray Rippers but they all can’t support 7.1 surround sound. Some of them only encodes 5.1 surround 6 channel Audio. I am using Windows 8.1 Pro, can you recommend a program that supports 7.1 Surround when ripping my 3D Blu-ray? Thanks!”

In order to rip or convert 3D Blu-ray with keeping 7.1 surround sound, here we recommend Pavtube ByteCopy for you, with this program you can even lossless make digital backups of your favorite 3D Blu-ray movies in MKV format with keeping Dolby TrueHD if your HD media player or AV receiver/amplifier decodes Dolby TrueHD. It is your best choice to keep Dolby True HD 7.1 audio when backing up 3D Blu-ray movie. Get Pavtube ByteCopy Trial version. A trial is free but functional-restricted. Lossless output can be used 3 times only. You may download a trial and see how it works. A full version is offered at $29.4, 30% off by Pavtube Studio.

Easy Steps: Copy an 3D Blu-ray Disc with Lossless Audio (Dolby True HD 7.1)

1. Hook up an external BD drive with my desktop (if there is not an internal one), and place a 3D Blu-ray Disc into the BD drive.

2. Run Pavtube ByteCopy software(Mac version is here) and click the “Load BD/DVD” icon to import movie files from 3D Blu-ray Disc.

3. To pass-through original Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio for Blu-ray movie ripping, just select “Lossless/encoded multi-track MKV (* mkv)” from “Multi-track Video” quality in “Format” box.

In this way you get lossless audio streams as they are burned into 3D Blu-ray. Dolby TrueHD track will be copied and packed into generated MKV file without transcoding. But note that you will not get TrueHD 7.1 audio if the original BD does not contain Dolby TrueHD audio.

Tip: Click “Settings” to enter Multi-track video profile window; switch to “Video” and find the “Encode” box which is unchecked by default, so if you want a lossless MKV copy, do not touch it. The switch to “Audio”, check wanted audio track; so does the “Subtitles”.

4. Click the “Convert” button to start ripping 3D Blu-ray movie to MKV file with TrueHD 7.1 audio. After conversion I click “Open” to get the generated mkv files for playing.

That’s it! Your 3D Blu-ray video will now be encoded and a few hours later you will have a great high definition video file with preferred Dolby Digital TrueHD 7.1 Audio. For instance, the hot video game console Sony PlayStation 3 can output audio up to 7.1 LPCM through HDMI for both Blu-ray movies and video games, so you can freely enjoy 3D Blu-ray on PS3.
