I have some videos that contain multiple video tracks, but the Emby clients don't allow selection.  They do for multiple audio tracks.  Is there a way to enable this?

The 2nd Video track is also highly likely to be a dual layer dv7 Dolby Vision Track - it is not a 1080p version of the same file.

To convert to a single layer (playable) DV file - you need to run it through makemkv etc to merge the layers.

Interesting.  Merge?  Are you saying the first track depends on the second to give the designed experience?

The first track will give HDR10, the 2nd track is the DV 'layer' which then enhances the first if you have DV capabilities.  Only hardware players can read the 2nd track (in parallel to the first) so tools like makemkv have devised a way to combine them into a single track - thus you get a dv7 profile file with both HDR10 and DV attributes from any software based player.
